The Besieger:
Hello all…
I wonder if it was possible to make a CD army list of
2400 PTS with a Bul Centaur Taur’ruk.
The idea is to run the Bull Centaur unit in 3 X 3.
Ofc a option is… to go from 8 BC TO 5 BC and you have a extra 165 PTS.
But eee a unit of 9 BC looks stronger then a unit of 6 BC :p.
What do you think of this CD army list :)?

I think with only 5 deployments you’re going to be in trouble. You’ve equipped your Sorcerer-Prophet for battle which is interesting but I’m unsure of how practical that will be. And I think you’re Bull Centaurs are three centaurs too big (I’d buy some hobbos!). It’s a good start and has a decent chance against some armies but others will just crush it mercilessly.

I'm running a Taur'ruk in my list for the SAWS Challenge tourney next week. A neat cost saving trick is to drop the Blackshard Armor which is 15 points and grab the Dragonhelm instead for only 10 points. Since the Taur'ruk comes with Heavy Armor for free, the Dragonhelm gives you the same +1 armor boost that the the Blackshard does as well as a 2+ward against fire attacks all for 5 points cheaper.
Samanos:
the build of the sorcerer seemed peculiar to me as well (what lore is he btw?).
i dont think that he should be in in combat, besides t5 he has nothing really to worth in cc, and i would suggest that u change to a more defensive build (in ur other lists in the poll as well).
i would agree with grimbold to reduce the centaurs (make them 5) and fit something else.
20 blunderbusses are too expensive and keep in mind that if you lose 1 then no more reroll to w!!

This is how I’d do a bull centaur list:
Sorcerer-prophet, death, lvl 4 , talisman of preservation ,enchanted shield
Infernal castellan, mask, shield
Tauruk, great weapon, dragonhelm, other tricksters shard, opal amulet
hobgoblin khan, wolf, spear, shield
28 infernal guard, full command, +1 movement banner
20 hobbos, shields, full command
20 hobbos, shields, full command
6 bull centaurs, great weapons, full command
6 bull centaurs, great weapons, full command
5 bull centaurs, great weapons, full command, gleaming pennant
No shooting, no messing about, get stuck in and kill stuff as quickly as possible.

@ Grimbold Blackhammer…
You are right 
the BC unit is to big.
Maybe its beter take the extra 165 PTS from 3 BC
and take some other stuff.But i’m not a Hobbos fan :).
@ tvandyke…
Good point thx
@ Nilbog…
Yes thats a true BC army
But i wonder if it was possible to make a CD army
with a Taur’ruk , not a full BC army :).
@ Samanos…
Lore of Hashut … This lore is a good combo for my Lord and his items.
About the BB unit i not agree with you.
D3 stand & shoot shots Armour safe 3+ & Parry safe.( i’m a fan of them )
I beter get this unit to 25 for the Reroll to wound like you told:).
Normal when i have a BB unit in my army its in a horde.
Also about the Lord i cant agree with you :).
T5 Armour Safe 2+ Ward Safe 4+ S6 with the Black Hammer of Hashut.
Try make you enemy flammable.Also your enemy need reroll his Ward Safe.
Then we dint talk yet about the Blood Of Hashut :).
With all this stuff and the lore of hashut he is a pure CC.
Samanos:
well if it works for you then i cannot say anymore:)
just keep in mind that in order to make him flammable you have to choose the order of your spells very carefully since anybody who has played against the lore of hashut will dread the spell:hashut
