                                         both hellbound to deal with ethereal units if needed

Deathshrieker 125 pts

hellbound

not sure which spells to use per deamonsmith…

hobgobs would be used as a roadblock

Destroyer to cause general havoc wherever needed

fireglaives as either warmachine screen or attachment to blunderbuss unit(or maybe even hobgob unit)

didn’t add BSB (didn’t think I need one in a 2000 point army)

Da Crusha:

Here are some things I would do to the list

definitely need a bsb. you will regret it when you fail your first break test with your BB unit and lose the entire thing or fail your first break test with the HG unit and let your opponent in where and when you dont want them in. I’d drop the additional handweapons on the Hobgoblins because shields are more viable since HG main role is to hold up the enemy with steadfast not kill things and if you bring the ADD H weapon you have to use it. drop both hellbound upgrades and use magic to kill ethereals. drop the pistol on the Deamonsmith and the Great weapon on the castellan since you can’t use the shield and the great weapon at the same time and I value the armour more, or if you want to keep the GW drop the shield because he won’t use it unless he is walking around by himself. also drop the banner of eternal flame because you aren’t going to be able to make things flammable without a prophet with the Lore of Hashut. drop the fireglaives off the IG unit.

I’d put the points towards more blunderbuss, because right now your opponent only needs to kill 2 models to halve the shooting effectiveness of the unit. OR put the points to upgrading a deamonsmith to a prophet and take Lore of Hashut and keep the banner of eternal flame and turn the castellan into a BSB.

that makes sense to me..I'll re-do my list based on your opinions , the group I play against like 2000 point games and its a bit tough coming up with a decent army with 500 less points than I'm used too

thanks
