Hi,

This is my first attempt at creating a CD list based on the new 8th edition rules, i have opted to use the raving hordes list whilst using the new magic items/banners from the dwarfs of chaos list created by kevin coleman.  

I’m quite concerned about the blunderbuss unit size of 20 as it is a big investment and the fact that my warriors don’t have great weapons.  However I’m sure you will all be able to help me out with some advice!

Level 4 Upgrade, Black Gem of Gnar and 2 Dispel Scroll

it seems ok. first off I must mention that you can only have one dispel scroll in 8th ed, but since you are using the RH list with indygt magic items, you can instead replace one of the scrolls for the hexicon of hashut. I would go with Great Weapons on all of your cd’s, otherwise it is pretty difficult for them to kill anything. also you must pick the magic lores as part of the army roster in 8th.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback! Have you constructed your own list in 8th edition, if so what units are you using?

I have tried a couple of different lists in 8th edition, I frequently play in tournaments and usually place ok, my blog has tournament score sheets. I have several lists Ive posted in the army list section. right now Im using a 2500 pt RH list with cdo FAQ that not many would agree is the best. Im using a lvl 4 death sorc lord with powerscroll and 4+ ward, riding a lammasu. the lammasu is pretty experimental. Im using 2 lvl 1 shadow wizards, one with dispel scroll and the other with chalice of darkness. I have a cd hero with great weapon, armour of gazrakh, and gauntlets of bazhrakk the cruel, he is my general. a BSB with armour of the furnace, and Ironcurse Icon. 40 CD warriors with Great weapons and full command. 24 cd’s with full command and great weapons. 55 hobgoblins with musician. 2 bolt throwers, a death rocket. 12 bull centaurs with great weapons and full command and 2 earthshakers.

I have only played one game so far with this exact list, I got a win against a pretty nasty deamons list that consisted of …err… heres a link of the lists that are in our league. I should have posted this link before.

his list was dans deamons. I was able to shutdown his flamers with earthshaker shots. I pretty much sat back and fired as many shots as we could. I used my level ones to lower his ws and initiative and then hit him hard with my blocks. I used the BCs to protect my earthshakers and death rocket.
next I play against phils greatful dead.

Da Crusha:

I think it is a pretty well rounded list.
to protect my sorcerers… if there are no threats I will let them move around on their own otherwise I keep them in a cd unit until I’m about to get into combat and then either charge or move them out and receive the charge. whether I charge or not will depend on the shadow lore attribute to find a safer position for the wizard.

The sorceror lord, I fly around and snipe characters while trying not to be chargeable. yesterday I was playing against empire and I flew around and sniped all 5 of his characters by turn 4. I won the game 2370 to 0. a good game for the Dawi Zharr.

The ironcurse Icon is an enchanted item from the 8th ed rulebook, it gives a 6+ ward save to the entire unit against wounds caused by war machines, and it only cost 5 points If I remember correctly.

Hi,

I’ve changed my army list by removing the hobgoblin wolfriders and replacing them with a unit of Bull centaurs and another earthshaker. After calculating each unit I noticed that I miscalculated the points value of some units and have included some magic banners etc…tell me what you think…
