A friend of mine has taken up Warhammer again and thus, I’ve decided to dust off my old CD army. I’m currently in the process of paint stripping it so I can repaint it from scratch.
He’s lined up a 2000pt each doubles for Monday night, so I had a shot at an army list. First time I’ve tried out the Legion of Azgorth from Tamurkhan so I’ve no feel for the new list.
Without further ado, the list. All comments welcomed. Cheers! :cheers

*First time I’ve ever fielded this lord/monster combo, but I didn’t fancy the Lammasu and we have no combat lords.
I can imagine you’re army already made with only classic models which is awesome so I won’t suggest anything that you probably wouldn’t use/have.
Some things I thought of Looking at your list:
I would have my prophet with talisman of preservation and enchanted shield for 2+ 4++ and your BSB castellan with mask of the furnace, shield for 2+ 4++ as well. Keeps them nice and safe.
I’m a bit unsure about having your prophet mounted on the Taurus as he’ll get cannoned or sniped in some way and wouldn’t really support your slow army anyway. But it can be good with death.
Standard of discipline could be changed for something else more useful unless you really plan on having your prophet miles away.
Blunderbussess are best used in units of 30 I reckon. As their special rules allowing a reroll only work for a unit 20+ so you need room for casualties.
I’d rather have two units of 30 infernal guard. Each with a castellan For stubborn which is awesome.
Death shriekers are great. Making one hellbound can be handy against etherials and making it tougher.
Dreadquake is prett good but not amazing, I’d rather use a Hellcannon in most situations. I’m sure your can proxy if you like :-).
Hope your game works out good and you capture many slaves.
IMO you should have more standard units to protect you flanks for example have a unit of 30-40 infernal guard and have like 2 units of 12 fireglaive or hailshot blunderbuss on the sides the main unit is to take on any thing and the small unit protect from flanking and you can use them to flank(fireglaives work wonders when flanking)
To be clear, this is part of a double’s match. I don’t have my partner’s army list yet, but I know it contains the following:
- Level 3 Forest Goblin Great Shaman on Arachnarok Spider
- 80+ Night Goblin infantry, split into multiple units with many fanatics.
- 10 Spider Riders
Plus he plans on more Forest Goblin infantry (I’ve leant him a unit of the old metals), some war machines, squig hoppers and a pump wagon.
The idea is that he covers the flanks and I hit hard.
@MLP: The only real limitation on the classic figures I have to hand is that I have only 20 blunderbussiers, and my long-running sore point about not having any classic hobgoblin warriors. Other than that my collection of big hats is pretty much complete.
