ok, well this is my Army list im thinking of doing, i already have a shed load of IG models, and magma cannon (also have a Iron demon, but the rules dont seem great for it).
Lords
Drazhoath the Ashen 570
Heroes
Infernal Castellan 200
(Battle Standard, Mask of The Furnace, Great Weapon)
Daemonsmith 160
(LV2 Wizard, Lore of Fire, Enchaned Shield, Dispel Scroll)
Core
(25)Infernal Guard (5x5 wide) 332
(Full Command)
(24)Infernal Guard (5x5 wide, led by Daemonsmith) 320
(Full Command)
(20)Infernal Guard (7x3 wide, led by Infernal Castellan) 332
I would put the IG into 2 units. I’m looking at 2x30-35. I think fewer, larger blocks make better use of the stubborn characters and will be harder to get points off.
At 3k, I’m planning to try 2x6 Fireborn and a support unit of 3 BCs.
I just don’t see Drazhoath the Ashen doing 570 points of damage in a game, or even surviving the battle. Fluffwise I completely understand the reason for using him. He has a great story, and the model is beautiful, but I think that a level 4 will save you at least 250 points to put into either more Bull Centaurs or K’daii.
I full agree, He wouldnt gain his points back really, neither will the IG, but there stil taken ;). If i had a Level 4, ild still want him on a bale taurus. So for the extra points, Drazhoth is worth it.
to be fair, i dont think the K’daii are that great. 2 wounds and have to take tests or lose D3.
I have an iron daemon, but cant see much place for it on the battle field.
