There will be three scenario’s played out during the 2000 point tournament.  Battleline, Dawn Attack and Blood and Glory. I’m going to try a refused flank tactic using the Hobgoblins to screen the IG regiment and the blunderbusses and the destoyer to guard the flank and generate threat. The rocket launchers will be babysat by the lvl1 and hopefully counter-battery and/or deal with threats as needed.

What’s the point of the black hammer without ash storm?

It was just a fluffy weapon. Maybe a 'Hammer' of battle for an extra attack instead.

Conversely, here’s another option I’ve been toying with:

Daemonsmith lvl2 Death lore w/Chalice - General

27 Infernal Guard w/musician & standard

Castellan BSB w/Sword of Battle, shield and Dragonhelm

29 Infernal Guard HSBB w/musician & standard

30 Hobgoblin xtraHW w/boss & standard

Daemonsmith lvl1 Metal lore w/dispel scroll

Deathshrieker

Hellcannon

Same basic strategy but more ranged firepower.

I like the first more. more solid imo.
personally I am not a big fan of the shriekers, I cant seem to hit with them. I prefer s5 templates (any kind ;))

I also think you have too much core. you field more core in 2000 than most lists field in 2500 I think. maybe drop them to the minimum and add some redirectors?

edit: You DO have too much core, didnt see that you had blunderbusses. your core are like 1040 points... thats too much me thinks. I would say drop everything in core except the blunderbusses. that should give you plenty of points to play with ;)

Balthazhar:

:cheers

pretty solid in 2000 pts.

if you drop one hellbound /and the razor banner (blunderbusses are already ap i think so you dont need it) you can add 1 more bull and have extra points. add muso to them (u need him) and give them the gleaming pendant for the ld reroll.
