thrawn:
i have decided to try something a little different. after posting my first 2000 Tamurkhan list and getting feedback i have deicded to not necessarily re-vamp it, but make some major shifts. my idealogy is this, nowadays everyone takes a lvl 4. it’s the new black, it seems that everyone thinks magic will win you the game. magic will definitely help, but i don’t think it will win you the game. so, i want a good mix, but most important i want minimum 3 units that can hit hard and break his units. as chaos dwarfs are really expensive, it’s hard to put 3 hard hitting units in, but not impossible, while still maintaining a good mix.
here is my 2000 points list with the objectives above listed:
Daemonsmith LVL 1
Enchanted Shield
Dawn Stone
+1 to Channel
Iron Curse Cross
(goes with infernal guard)
Daemonsmith LVL 2

Fire Helm? (10 points)
Cheap 5 point weapon

Total Heroes: 497

20x Hobgoblin Archers

Total Core: 500

1 Magma Cannon
5x Bull Centaurs
std, mus, flaming banner

Special: 620
K’Daai Destroyer
5 Hobgoblin Wolf Riders
mus.

right now i’m 7 points over and not sure how to shave it off so if you got some ideas please suggest!
So the plan is not overly complex. I have 3 powerful warmachines, that should cause some damage before we get into combat. i have a solid line that should be able to handle most competitors. The Destroyer goes after his strongest horde, my centaurs intercept his monsters, monstrous cavalry/infantry, whilst my horde of infernal guard go for his cavalry. my hobgloblins odviously go warmachine hunting/re-directing. i would use a khan, but have no more hero points to allocate. the hobgoblins are not bad so long as they’re kept close to the dwarfs. one daemomsmith goes with infernal guard and takes Lore of Hashut, sole purpose is to cast signature spell and make all my guys hate the opponent. my other daemonsmith babysits the warmachines and hobgoblin archers (so they don’t suffer from animosity). don’t want to take k’daai burners as they seem to burn themselves more often than the opponent, plus the centaurs have T5 and 3W! pretty tough i’m thinking.
So? Ideas?
