[6th edition] Competitive 1500 pts army lists

Hi,

I’m actively playing these days (and I expect to keep playing like this the whole summer!).

I’m used to 2000 pts format, maybe 2500 pts, and also small scale (border patrols of 500 pts). But I feel like a beardless hobgoblin when building lists for 1500 pts! ^^’

Right now I’m using using a mix of borrowed heroes, my own Dawi and my Orgs & Goblins. I can stilll borrowing more units if needed, so I have no limitations :smiley:

What would be a competitive tournament-level list?

I actually really liked taking Bull Centaurs in sub-2k matches. Paired with a BC hero they can swing games on their own, especially with less already being on the table. Since the warriors are an anvil you could also, or alternatively, switch out one of your heroes for a hobgoblin hero on wolf. Give him the Gauntlets and a Sword of Battle or something and suddenly that roving unit becomes a real threat.
