Do you use them as shock troops, agents for the dragon overlords, as liberated individuals, or something else entirely?

So, what do you guys think?

If I use them, they are going to take the place of the Draconians as the disposable troops.

You've had dracos as disposable troops? I guess that's what a dragonarmy troop commander might think, but from a DM's perspective I can't see them ever having been disposable.

I use dragonspawn as Overlord shock troops, nothing more.

I was thinking about it in the way the Dragonlords thought bout them, and the way they are described in the DLCS in parts is as disposable troops. I love em, and use the better ones as major enemies, but I hate the Dragonspawn.

I will be using the "Dragon Disciple" uncahnged from the DMG, because I figure that the gradual process of change would allow for a more stable and more powerful creature than your typical dragonspawn. Thus, they won't explode, and keep the half-dragon template.

Gellidus of course is dead (in my campaign) but I plan to be doing many interesting things with dragonspawn in Sable's swamp to make them draconic creatures differing from the draconians.
