Hey.  I’m new here and new to 8th edition rules.

Well there she be.  I thought about trying to put in some Bull Centaurs but with just 2 attacks they seemed a tad overpriced.  Fire Glaives and Blunderbusses would be neat but very expensive points wise.

I figured that between the cheapo Khan and the 2 units of wolf riders I should be able to harass war machines and with the firepower of my war machines I can force him to come to me.  I should have enough bow shots to take down a unit of fast cavalry or maybe a unit of skirmishers.

Well what do you all think ?

nilbog:

Drop the daemonsmith to level 1 and just take the signature spell.

Take 2 deathshriekers instead of 2 magma cannons for more flexibility.

Drop the wolf raiders altogether - trust me, they’re rubbish with the anymosity rules they’ve got.

Drop the crown of command on the sorcerer - he doesn’t need it as the bsb is already stubborn.

If you also drop the khan you’ll have enough points for a destroyer!!!

I’ve played with a very similar list actually. The main difference was I had a unit of Bull Centaurs instead on a Magma cannon and deathshrieker.

I think your list is alright but I reckon you’ll get humped if the enemy does reach you in combat. Drop the CoC as nilbog said. The banner of slavery instead of the War Banner could be handy as you have so many Hobgoblins, as long as you keep both units eitherside of the Infernal Guard they will be alright. Giving them shields as well will noticably increase their resilience in combat too.

Contrary to nilbog I like Wolf riders in my lists. I don’t find them too unreliable as the chances of animosity affecting them are pretty low and if it does it’s just as likely to benifit the unit as it is to disable it. I like to have them with bows to annoy war machines and them slam them in the flank of units to support the main troops with their +1 Combat res in the flank rule.

Well the wolf riders are staying . Gonna be a lot of fun to model them up. Plus having played an all goblin army before I am well aware of how animosity can bite you in the rear. Ditched the crown… Picked up Blood of Hashut. Added shields to my hobgoblin archers.

As far as taking an extra death shrieker over the second magma cannon … I’ll probably try the list out both ways and see what seems to work better.

Thanks for the input so far guys.
