Greetings, Well after yet another problem with my email here is my third account in 2 months hopefully this one sticks. I have started to paint my infernal guard and my Bull Centaurs arrived from England today so i have started putting together my army list I was lookign for some feedback and perhaps improvements
Morgrim Black Beard- Sorcerer Prophet of Hashut- Level 4, Earthing rod, Talisman of Preservation and Ironcurse Icon
Daemonsmith- Chalice of blood and darkness Daemonsmith- Dispel scroll Dark Castellan- BSB- Mask of the furnace Bull Centaur Taur’ruk- Crown of command, Dragon Helm, blackshard armour and great weapon.
22 Infernal guard with full command and Razor standard 18 Infernal guard with full command and great weapons
Magma cannon 2 Deathshriekers Hellcannon 3 Bull Centaur renders- shields and muso 5 hobgoblin wolf riders with spear
Plan is for one DS to babysit the death shriekers and one to babysit the hellcannon and magma cannon. Morgrimand Bsb to go inside the sword and board dwarfs. Bull centaurs to hold or smash a flank supported by the smelly hobgobs.
I would change out a Daemonsmith, and use the points for something else. I think you can get by with just a dispell scroll, and let your prophet babysit the other 2 warmachines.
Personally I would like to see at least a unit of 4 bullcentaurs, 3 just seems so tiny, A solo khan on wolf is a much better investment then the regular hobs on wolves. Additionally, even with their despoiler rules, they would likely cause your bull centaurs much more issues during CC (giving up a ton of resolution), the solo khan can chaff better, and he is also cheaper.
Well I don’t see what the combination 1 tauruk + 3 bull centaurs + 5 hobgobelins on wolf is going to achieve… When I run bull centaurs in this configuration it is to combine them with a destroyer. I m not sure these approx. 500 pts invested will be effective in the game. So I would rather go with a destroyer + 3 bulls. I would add a shield on the BSB and an enchanted shield on the prophet.
By the way if you place your hellcanon near your IG unit your prophet can babysit it. So you’ve got one reroll for each war machine.
In ETC or the 2 most popular German restriction systems you cant play a Destroyer and 4 war machines. I played a relatively similar list some weeks ago with 1 ds, 1 sp and for the remaining points I had blunderbusses (23) instead of sword and board (2400 pts). Against demons it was a moderate victory. <br>The BC and Tau´ruk can effectively block enemy units and keep them busy, the Tauruk even relatively strong ones. If your opponent plays warmachines that cannot fight good on themselves (Empire, Skaven, Dwarfs, a.s.o.), the BC can threaten those.
The wolfriders can be used to redirect, but sam585 is right: For that purpose a khan is cheaper and now there is no longer any problem with 25%heroes.
Without restrictions a destroyer or iron demon would be great :-).
