Bor:

Greetings all.

I have played a few games to test different army setups.

Based on those games I cam to the following army.

1 Bull Centaur Hero @ 134 Pts

General; Great Weapon; Armour of Gazrakh

1 Chaos Dwarf Sorcerer @ 115 Pts

2x Dispel Scroll

18 Chaos Dwarf Blunderbuss @ 246 Pts

FC

18 Chaos Dwarf Blunderbuss @ 246 Pts

FC

23 Hobgoblins @ 122 Pts

Shield; FC

23 Hobgoblins @ 122 Pts

Shield; FC

10 Hobgoblin Wolf Riders @ 130 Pts

Shield; Musician

5 Bull Centaurs @ 135 Pts

GW; Heavy Armour; Shield; Standard; Musician

Casting Pool: 3

Dispel Pool: 3

Models in Army: 99

Total Army Cost: 1250

So what do you all think about this army setup?

Border Reiver:

Not a lot of durabiltiy in CC for your army, is there?

Hobbos with shields are OK as fighters, but will give up a lot of wounds in CC, in addition to being vulnerable to shooting. Same applies to the wolf riders. I believe you would be better served with giving them light armour as well to ensure survivability in CC, as they would appear to be your CC units in addition to your flanking/distraction group.

Bor:

An option is to replace the hobgoblinhero with a scrollcaddy.

If the games does not take place I will instead play Mordheim with my CD-warband.

Time of Madness:

You shouldn’t need a scroll caddy in such a small pt level game. I’d look at taking the second hero choice as a bsb. You have a so much infantry a bsb would prove invaluable.

I think you have too many points invested in blunderbussed. You’d be better off maybe picking up some bolt throwers/death rocket.

hmm the BSB I got finished so that would be an option.
In my DoW army I use a captain on pegasus very often and it works wonders. So I wanted to try the CD look-a-like the hobgoblin hero on a wolf.

The BT's and deathrockets are not yet painted. So not an option to field them yet.
