[Archive] 1850 pts. Ravening Hordes list

Breten:

I’ll be using the Ravening Hordes list until I can get some playtest games in with the GT list. So Thurday night is our weekly meeting at one of the LGS http://www.mythgames.ca and I started the league out with Vampire Counts, but due to the plethora of VC players (6 of us), and a busy schedule, I haven’t been around since the 750 point level. This week and next are 1850 points, which is the last of the league. After that we have a 2200 point tournament. I figured I’d like to dump my boring VC’s and use Chaos Dwarfs for the last of it, now that I have them.

So here’s what I came up with after doing a little research.

I’m defnately rethinking the Gaultlets on my Hero as I roll a lot of ones. I’m thinking just upping the amrour the the Armour of the Furnace or something. Maybe a Sword of Battle.

I’m going to try running the Sorcerers in the two units of Blunderbusses. Probably go with Lore of Fire for both and just run around lighting the enemy up. Maybe slow the target down with the Earthshaker and crossfire with the shooters. I didn’t think it was really wort giving them command as I don’t want them in combat. Musicians would be good, but I had neither the spare musician models nor the points.

The unit of 14 Hobbo archers I was thinking of hanging back near the Warmachines s a defensive unit, though I suppose they’re really more of a speed bump.

So let me know what you guys think, and I’ll reort back after my battles with the results.

The Brain:

Don’t give up on the guantlets they are really fun and different. Think positive and it will be ok.

Beardroller:

Hey,

the Hobbos with la/s seem to be very expensive. I would run 20 of them naked for 40 points.

Breten:

Okay, I made a couple tweaks, and went with naked hobbos so to speak. The only other tweak I might make would be to drop the Hobgoblin unit down to 21 models and give the Wolfriders a musician or champion, which might be worth it, especially the musician. The only reason for the extra hobbo s the points are leftover to spend, and there’s only one thing to buy for 2 points.
