I would drop the great weapons on the warriors, I honestly find I never use them. A block of 20 is a front line combat resolution unit best used with a 3+ save from HW + shields, if you really want great weapon guys then I would consider some smaller flanking units of 10-12.
Do you find the units of 10 Hobgobs effective? They are so cheap, I usually use them in 20s. That way they can still add a decent rank bonus and with Ld10 they will rarely run. Does the tournament use the GW tournie scenarios? If so, I would add banners. If not, then no banners.
Maybe try to squeeze in some wolf riders? The only fast thing you have is the Lammassu and centaurs and neither of them can afford to rush war machines. The Earth shaker won’t always silence those pesky cannons
I was never that impressed by Death Rockets, but 6 Bolt Throwers could be considered excessive. By some. Not by me :).
A Battle Standard is always nice, if you can fit one in somehow. Depends if you feel you really want that much magic.
I saw a similar list at the GT 2 years ago, he had lv4 on Lammassu, 2 lvl2s, 3x20 hobgobs, 2x20 BBs, 1x20 warriors, 8 Bolt Throwers and 2 Earth shakers at 2000pts. Suffice it to say, I’m glad I didn’t play him.
@ Baggronor: i kinda like units of 10hobgolins , they are really nice to redirect the opponent (and since they have move 4 they will easily walk in front of the CD’s) - and combined with the banner of slavery i hope they will be reliable as well
kinda like i use skavenslaves/goblin archers, but over 20 points cheaper
-if people complain about poisond wind globadier spamming, then i don’t know what they’ll say about this :p-
as to combined charging for ranks:s they tend do give the opponent vp due to T3 and no AS
the great weapons are for when nasty things with T6/5/4 with unbreakable,stubborn, or high armour saves come through
they can still fight with HW and shield - and its not like they really cost a lot to upgrade to GW
(2 units of 10 might indeed be a better option, but i think i will need the static cr)
the gauntlet character will be tossed at warmachines/chariots with lore of shadows if needed with T5 and 1+ AS he should hold out on his own(i hope)
Also i will feel guilty for using 6 bolt throwers- even though they only have bs3 and 2crew,
-i would even use 8 if i didn’t care wether or not my opponent has a good time playing me - but dispite being evil and calling my opponent names, doing mental warfare, intimidate him, laugh at him while i hack his army and scoff at my casualties, and curse the verry ground he’s standing on… I really draw the line there.
:sick and yes my consience sickens me, and thereby soils my sacred beard
also i did think of those wolf riding hobbies, but i think they’re crap of the worst kind, I could be wrong though- if there was an option to give them spears, i’d take them but now they will die faster than they can say charge.
I won’t drop bolt throwers, bolt throwers are way better then deathrockets, you can kill things with a high T with the bolt throwers and bolt throwers are more consitent, with the death rocket you can blow up your own units and stuff.
