NoisyAssassin:
Was looking at scaling down the 2K list that I’m working toward building (so I can get some games in before they’re all put together) and came up with the following:
Heroes (240)
100 - Daemonsmith - Death: Charmed Shield
140 - Daemonsmith - Death: Level 2 Enchanted Shield, Luckstone
Core (514)
290 - 24 Infernal Guard: HW&Shield, Full Command
224 - 12 Infernal Guard: Fireglaive, Shield, Standard, Musician
Special (200)
100 - Deathshrieker
100 - Deathshrieker
Lvl 1 hangs out with the warmachines, Lvl 2 with the HW&S unit (just realized it might not be a bad idea to toss him in the fireglaive unit though, as they should see less combat, and can stand and shoot against any wizard-hunters). Hoping for Soulblight (yay T debuff and Deathshriekers!) or Doom and Darkness (Ld debuff and repeated Panic checks). All the snipe spells should also be decent at taking out characters, monsters, or annoying things like Eagles. I often don’t bother with wizards at 1K, but in this case it seems worth it (and people often skimp on magic defense at this point level).
Anyway, I’ve got 46 points left to spend. Thoughts are to either add the Razor Standard to the HW&S unit (though with such a small unit, not Hording, probably not worth it), or 3 more bodies, a Gleaming Pennant, and another 5 point item. Obvious option would be to upgrade one of the Shriekers to a Magma Cannon, but I won’t have one of those in my 2K, and I’m on a time crunch to build for a tournament, so I won’t be making/taking one of those.
Thoughts appreciated!
