Hmm, did some check up on those backgrounds. Born under a bad sign/auspicious birth gives far more hp than I thought.
Starts at 6hp at lvl 1, will scale during your career to a 12hp bonus. Almost as much as toughness clocking in at 15hp. Definitely more bang for the buck, compared to a background with only +1 initiative. Almost a whole feat, compared to 1/4 feat.

Agreed: Born Under a Bad Sign definitely frees up a feat if you can grab it.
I also want to point out the Miscellaneous post now offers a CB-legal summary of the build, courtesy of Face_Stab.

I am building a Genasi Earthbound Warlord and it seems to me that Versatile Resistance is a pretty good feat. Resist 5 against fire, cold and thunder seems like it could stack up in a hurry but I don't even see it in the Character Op guides. Am I vastly overrrating this feat?

The problem that I've found with it, also playing an earthsoul genasi warlord, is that elemental attacks are not especially common, and parties with a good defender will funnel a lot of attacks away from the warlord, even if he's front-line. There are a lot of good feats for warlords and genasi; it just doesn't come up above those.
Of course, this comment is only for heroic. In paragon and epic, it's not preventing enough damage to be effective at stopping attacks.

Minor things overall. I'm still debating what theme I want, Master at Arms replaces Weapon Expertise (Heavy Blades), and Improved Defenses replaces Paragon/Robust Defenses. I am considering the Alhulak as a weapon, though, because it opens up the At-Will slide that is Lashing Flail, which is nice for a Warlord.

I just started a Dark Sun campaign with this guy at Level 5, and took the Dune Trader theme, because that whole party shift in Quick Formation was too good to give up. Seeing as the Alhulak would disqualify you from Farbond Spellblade, would you be picking up a dedicated ranged weapon in its place? Also, when you say "at-will" slide with Lashing Flail, you mean if you made a plain ol' MBA in order to get the slide?

Any thoughts for this guy Post-Dark Sun? Does the Akulak/Lashing Flail work as well as you thought? As well, maybe a few suggestions for non-melee-centric parties in power/feat selection.
Continue to rock these amazing guides/builds! Thanks again.
