TheFNG:
Hey guys,
I’m playing in a 2400 pt Tourney in a couple weeks. I’m trying to use this to validate a 2500 point list I plan to take to a big Grand Tourney in June.
I’d love feedback. The goal is the ultimate gunline/castle.
Without further ado,
Lords
N/A
Heroes
Castellan, BSB, Talisman of Preservation, Fireglaive, Shield
Daemonsmith, Lvl 1 (Fire) Ruby Ring of Rhuin
Daemonsmith, Lvl 1 (Metal) Chalice
Daemonsmith, Lvl 1 (Metal) D Scroll, Charmed Shield
Core
35 IG w/GW, Full Command, Razor Standard
20 Hobgoblins, Bows
Special
2 Magma Cannons
2 Deathshriekers
3 Bull Centaurs, Shields
Rare
2 Hellcannons
5 Wolf Riders, Bows
I believe this comes to 2399. Though I may be off. I’ll double check it later. At 2500, I’d drop 5 more GWs and Hobgoblins, then add in a unit of 20 HW/S IG w/Full Command.
Theory: I will horde the GWs and place the Bull Centaurs and the hobgoblins on opposite flanks. The Wolf riders will go wherever, mostly to vanguard block. All of this will go towards towards one side or another of the board depending on terrain (castling up). I’ll place a magma cannon and daemonsmith with each Hellcannon, and place the general behind the blocks with the two Rocket launchers. Magic will be fireball heavy, and I’ll use Metal for any Skullcrushers or for the buffs (should I roll them). I plan to use the Chalice early in opponents phases to limit their ability to try and six dice spells and the d scroll is to (hopefully) stop the big one if my opponent gets it off. SHooting: I plan to blow as much off the board as early as possible and then just play points denial with the Hellcannons and combat blocks. That’s 6 templates, 14 bows, and a fireglaive. So i should be able to take a number of models off the table early.
I’ll know whether I will win the match in the first two turns. Should be fun.
