Micge:
Obsidian guard? My Hashut! Where have they gone?!!!
Otherwise good, but the annihilators arent very good in 8th edition IMO. Maybe a second earthshaker? More warriors? I dont have much experience with the indy list.
furrie:
The range of the annihilators are to short, you can probably shoot only ones and where you’re lucky twice in a game. I would use normal warriors and more spear chukkas. As for another eartshaker, I’m not sure. I’ve tried one eartshaker a couple of weeks ago and it didn’t impress me.
klemanius:
Obsidian guard are in now, oops!
Yeah I have thought about swapping the annihilators out for GW warriors.
Having the shield option helps Annihilators out a lot, and I have gotten lucky with getting mindrazzor off on them lately.
I might swap them out latter when I have the models though.
saurus:
Rabble cannot have any characters join them. So you need to find another role for that Hobgoblin Chiefton.
klemanius:
“Additionally, characters with the Slave Lords special rule may not join a unit of rabble”
Nope still legal to field a hobgob character in a rabble unit, unless you were referring to another rule or an errata.
On another note, I played the army yesterday and won!
It was a slow grinding affair against some lizardmen but I eventually broke through his flank, salamanders are scary.
richard barby:
stick with your guard and the 2 blunderbuss units in 8th there brilliant in 8th units are bigger bigger the unit bigger the mess when you shoot at them work in with it dropping there T so your wound rolls are 2+ (shadow spell). big units knights orges chariots bolt throwers and earthshakers can thin them down
stick the hogboglin iside the guard ( not really a fluff thing to do ) but you can hide the mage from combat 5 wide bsb 3 full command and hobgoblin and you can still cast useing the true line of sight rule
