I would suggest loosing all your hobgoblins (khan, cutthroats and raiders) and squeeze in a k’daai destroyer instead. I’m allso a big fan of deathshriekers, which can do alot of dmg against T3 tropps with low armour save and large targets :wink: Good luck!

You’ve got a lot of points in core which you could spend elsewhere - maybe a magma cannon?

What lore are you using on your s-p? Fire might be ok against all the T4, or death to snipe the characters and get the army crumbling.

How are you going to deal with ethereals? Given half a chance they’ll ruin your small units.

Well it turns out I won the game. Even after a couple of silly mistakes and some bad luck! The taur’uk got held up and eventually killed by hexwraiths(I thought he had a magic weapon but he didn’t) and the Deathshrieker did almost nothing all match. However the infernal guard did awesome killing everything (litterally!) and the hobgoblins held up a unit of crypt horrors all game. The bull centaurs did little but did come in at the end with a flank charge killing the vamp lord with crumble.

I also used lore of hashut which was great. Flames of azhorh is amazing! Overall I was very impressed with the core units over anything else! They did exceptionally well and werent overly lucky!

Good job! Nice work with the core units, I might have to re-assess their usefulness.
