Time of Madness:
Disclaimer Not meant to be a competitive build.
Hey Folks,
The last little while I have really enjoyed putting together and playing Big Hat style lists using the old oop metals. Even though i’ve been handicapping myself by not being able to take magma cannons, hellcannons or a destroyer (our 3 best choices - in my opinion) the lists have still been fun.
Generally I’ve been putting together combat based lists with a couple of units of guard supported by centaurs and a couple war machines. This list is a step away from that.

Compact shooting style list with only a few drops.
The 2 characters join the blunderbuss unit. I deploy the unit fairly wide and reform it prior to combat. The centaurs protect a flank of the blunderbuss unit. I try to protect the other flank with a table edge or piece of terrain.
The smith usually babysits the dreadquake.
Here is a quick breakdown of the models used.
Prophet - Astragoth
Castellan - Converted hero with banner
Smith - Sorcerer
Blunderbusses - Blunderbusses
Centaurs - Centuars (blood bowl centaur as champ)
Death Shrieker - Death Rocket
Dread Quake - Earthshaker (with forge world slave ogre)
