[Archive] 2000pt Fun Big Hat List

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.

CHARACTERS

Sorcerer Prophet (General)

- Level 4 Lore of Hashut

- Enchanted Shield

- Talisman of Preservation

- Healing Potion

= 385pts

Castellan ( BSB )

- Shield

- Mask of the Furnace

= 197pts

Daemonsmith

- Level 2 Lor of Fire

- Charm Shield

- Dispel Scroll

= 160pts

CORE

30 Infernal Guard

Prophet and Castellan Here

- Full Command

- Hailshot Blunderbusses

- Lichebone Pennant

= 587pts

SPECIAL

4 Bull Centaurs

- Champ/Standard

- Great Weapons/Shields

- Banner of Swiftness

Deathshrieker

Deathshrieker

= 100pts

RARE

Dreadquake

- Slave ogre

= 215pts

TOTAL POINTS = 1999pts

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)

MLP:

Seems like a fun list, and would be good to see on the tabletop as well. It does seem like you have hardly any models in the army though!

Thanks for the comments.

Unfortunately as soon as you take blunders and a prophet the armies start looking rather tiny.
