[Archive] 1st italian INDY BOOK armylist. 2250 in CLASSIC format

Alan the evil:

At least it happened.

In  one the 3 format of FIGW the INDY BOOK army of CD is allowed!!
the limitation of this format are general for everyarmy:

-2250
-a single character (mount excluded) that costs more than 290 pt is count as a hero choice more.
- no special charachters allowed
- not more than three characters/units able to cast spell
- not more than 2 large targets (flyng models count as 2)
- not more than 2 skirmish units (and only one etheral)
- not more than 2 light cavalries (units immune to psicology don’t count)
- not more than 2 flying units (charachters mounts and flying cavalries don’t count)
- not more than 9 power dices. 1st bound spell counts as 1 PD, following costs 2 PD.
- for each models equipped with a range weapons you must have 2 models without. war machines count as a number of models equipped with a range weapons equal to its US x2 (i.e. earthshaker has US 3 so it counts like 6 models equipped with a range weapons)

so i think something so:

hero lord with armour of the fornace and hammer of hasuht and shield (a new idea!!) pt 233
+ great taurus pt 230
deamonsmith with 2 dispel and shield pt 162
+ deamoneaters pt 120
deamonsmith with demon bane pt 152
+ deamoneaters pt 120
deamonsmith with hexacon of hashut and chalice pt 162
+ deamoneaters pt 120

10 warrior with shields 90
10 warrior with shields 90
10 warrior with shields 90

5 BC with chaos armour, shield and GW 135
5 BC with chaos armour, shield and GW 135
2 x BTs pt 70

eartshakers 100
3 golem with lava fire 225

I tried this list for fun, without giveit a real hope to work (no ranks at all!!)… but…
I don’t comment it until you don’t gonna try it: it’s amazing!!
In first 2 matches I defeated skaven and empire quite easily…
I expect your comment… I will post soon more results

Uzkul Werit:

I like the list. I’m not overly keen on the Chalice (maybe swop for another scroll?) but thats just personal preference really.

It’s different, I’ll give you that. Using the faster elements of the lists as the focus, rather than the blocks. The war machines might be hard to protect because there are so many quicker elements. Maybe drop the Chalice for some command choices on the centaurs?

Alan the evil:

don’t you like chalice??

you must think that you cast 5 bound spells without power dices… if you use it in your magic phase this allow you to cast 1/2 bound spells more for sure!!

today I play with empire with a priest and a wizard and he wasn’t able to stop my magic phase… I destroyed the steam think in 3 turns with 2 bolt thrower and 3 rules of burning iron casted on it in each turn!!

I don’t want to drop the chalice: too usefull in a list with 3 deamonsmith!!

Alan the evil:

I Update my result with this army…

Tournament of my club (8 players):

1: CD vs Dwarfs 10-10

2: CD vs HE 20-0

3: CD vs Empire 12-8

Final classification:

1st: CHAOS DWARFS!!!:hat off 42 pt

2nd: skaven 41 pt

3rd: empire 41 pt

4th: dwarfs 36 pt

5th: HE 30 pt

6th: VC 20 pt

7th: dwarfs 17 pt

8th: O&G 10 pt

well… I’m pretty satisfied…

after 6 games I collect 4 win and 2 draws!!

Gar Shadowfame:

well you have invalid roster, deamonsmith cant have deamon bane.

the metagame environment is rather unfavorable for cd magic so i’d say cc + warmashines army is best option.

Alan the evil:

wait gar… why do you say that daemonsmiths can’t have daemon bane??

It’s an arcane item without any specific limitation and daemonsmith “counts as level 1 wizards in all respects, with the exception that they never generate power dice (generate dispel dice as normal)” like is write in the indy book…

If the writers of the armylist made some specific limitations please tell me which and where I can find them.

Thanks for any help you’re gonna give me

Loki:

Great result congrats Alan :cheers CD for the win :slight_smile:

Gar Shadowfame:

its from main rulebook, a model cant have 2 bound spells with the exception to priests of sigmar cos they have prayers, a smiths boundspell comes from inbuild magic weapon.

Alan the evil:

loki

thanks a lot!! I’m gonna try to have a good result in the next tournament febrary the 28th!! stay tuned…

gar
OMG!!:o
I’ didn’t think about it… and noone, even the referee of the tournament didn’t note it… maybe because INDY book it’s still pretty unknow and he didn’t know correctly these new rules…
I’m gonna modify my armylist quickly…
thanks for the advice

Alan the evil:

After Gar advice and some games played I made this correction:

OUT daemon’s bane IN helm of azghor (+ pendant of uzkulak on hero lord)
