Gammal:

Dat plan!:

Hobos+ IG will be placed towards the center, where they can threaten as much as possible, and once I feel my machines have done their job I will probably leave them to their fate.

I usally like running the Destroyer on one flank just to kill stuff.

To make the other flanks more secure, I will put a hellcannon and the Iron daemon on either side of my center to secure flanks

Thoughts? :slight_smile:

Grimbold Blackhammer:

Over all it looks solid. You should do well!!

Gammal:

Is it worth going down to lvl 3 on the sorc and make the Iron Deamon hellbound?

thrawn:

your 10 points over on your rare.

GodHead:

The Iron Daemon is Special, not Rare.

The Hellcannon is Rare. He is well under.

More importantly, he is 3 points over the total points limit.

Find something to drop.

Yes it is. Hellbound is the best option you can get when picking an iron daemon.
Magical attacks : can be interesting if you play against a VC army.
+1T +1W : unbelievable bonus, the increases can make the difference between a dead iron daemon and a 1wound left iron daemon... Thus, 310 victory points, and 0...

But if you need to find points, even if you can loose the benefit from hailshot rules sooner than usual, remove 2 blunderbusses.
And give a shield to your castellan:)

Do not give a pistol to characters who have a shield… They must use the pistol (additionnal hand weapon) rather than carrying their shields…

I don’t know why you have removed the destroyer and added the fireborn. However, fireborn are really good, not as good as the destroyer though.
A pretty nicely list, with many choices, and fun! (and some strong elements:))

I think they fit better into my playstyle, though im still trying out both units.

The Destroyer has yet to die, but then again it hasnt killed that much either.
I also have a Empire player in my group wich I havnt played against yet, and im fearing 3 cannons each round on the destroyer.

Anyways, il update you with a battle report as soon as I can :=
