Balthazhar:

Greetings all. I’m looking for input on a list that I may be entering in a local 2,000 point tournament soon. My thinking is to pound my opponnet with artillery and then finish them with 2 large blocks of infantry.

1 lvl4 Sorcerer-Prophet (general) with the book of Ashur
1 Castellan with the Black Hammer
29 Hailshot Blunderbuss with full command and Castellan
31 Infernal Guard with full command and S-P
2 Death Rocket
1 Dreadquake Mortar

Samanos:

you have no BSB??

your castellan is very vulnerable.

you have 1 demonsmith and 3 machines. you need another one to babysit the rockets imo.

the units of the infernals are too big, maybe reduce them a bit to find points?

Balthazhar:

Okay. How this?

lvl 4 Sorcerer-Prophet (general) lore of Hashut book of Ashur

lvl 2 Daemonsmith lore of Metal Dispel scroll

Castellan BSB with Black Hammer

20 Infernal Guard full command and War Banner

23 Infernal Guard Hailshot Blunderbuss full command

2 Deathshrieker Rocket Launchers

1 Magma Cannon

8 Hobgoblin Wolf Riders with Boss and Standard

lord: drop the book. needs a 4++, enchanted shield. equip arcane item of your choice with remaining points.
bsb: keep the hammer. add a dragonhelm, shield and a 5++

core:
since you want to smash him in cc after you softened up with shooting i suggest to make a 30 stromg horde with gw (magic banner and muso but no champ necessary) for a hammer and a big unit of gobbos to use as an anvil. your core right now is 210+ pts over the minimum requirement. drop them to 500 and add a hellcannon.

switch the riders with khans on wolves, they are far better.

Balthazhar:

I thought the Khan was only available as a Wolf-Boss upgrade not as an entire unit?

Zuh-Khinie:

The Khan is a hero… he’s got as much punch as an entire unit of wolfboys, doesn’t need to take an animosity check etc.

And he’s got access to magic items, so you can tool him for specific roles.
