[Archive] 2000 LOA Defense Flank-None sorcerer prophet

Karring:

Hi guys. Recently I was thinking about a CD army based in “flank defense”. After trying a first list with this plan in mind, I made a few changes.

No sorcerer prophet… I know, I am crazy, but for my strategy, he is not SO neccessary (although, at 2500 points, I will include him with no doubt).

How do you think?

HEROES 330

Daemonsmith 130

Dispel scroll (+25), enchanted shield (+5) and pistol (+5).

Castellan 200

Big weapon (+5), mask of the furnace (+65) and BSB(+25)

CORE 780

20 infernal guard 360

Blunderbusses (+6 per model)

19 infernal guard 260

Command (+32)

20 hobgoblins 80

20 hobgoblins 80

SPECIAL 890

Magma cannon 145

Deathshrieker rocket 100

Iron daemon 285

6 Bull centaurs 240

3 Bul centaurs 120

TOTAL: 2000 points

Suggestions? Advice?

Thank you very much for reading, men.

MLP:

We’ve actually been recently discussing lists without a Prophet so this thread should be of interest to you:

http://www.chaos-dwarfs.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=11079

Many relevant points to your list have been talked about but I main one I can notice is that with your General being the Daemonsmith and that he’ll probably be with the warmachines, your hobgoblins wont have his leadership.

Samanos:

unless they have bows i cant understand why you field 2 x20 hobbos. i would suggest either give them bows or make them one big unit. if hes playing cornerhammer (at least thats what i get from defense flank) than he wont move a lot, ld wont be such a big issue.

Karring:

This is the last variant I tried. Work well, although I am thinking to substitute Ironsworn for IG, remove Wolfs and include BC insted. What do you think?

HEROES 330

Daemonsmith 130

Dispell scroll (+25), enchanted shield (+5) and pistol (+5).

Dark castellan 200

Big weapon (+5), Mask of the furnace (+65) and BSB (+25)

CORE 520

20 infernal guards 360

Blunderbuss (+6pm)

40 hobgoblins 160

SPECIAL 885

iron Daemon 285

Magma cannon 145

Deathshrieker rocket 100

19 Ironsworn 355

Command (+32).

RARE 265

Hell cannon 205

5 wolfriders 60

Time of Madness:

Not really a defensive style list in my opinion.

For a defensive style list you are better off gearing it towards taking a sorcerer prophet and shooting (but that gets a little boring).

If you plan on hanging out in the corner you would be better off with more shooting/magic.

A few ironsworn and a unit of hobgoblins generally won’t hold that long when playing defensively.
