Heading off for Bayou Battles here soon this month and here is what I am taking. List is locked in no more changes.
2500pts
Malorndk:
What is the purpose of te post? Do you want feedback, strat advice, warnings about pros and cons or something different?
Geist:
Read the list tell me your thoughts.
Malorndk:
I think you will lack some high strenght punch (like GWs on the bull units fx), soft shooting vs elves (like 2*20 hobows) and multiwound vs monstrous units asides from the ID (A single Magma would rock)
Going blunderbuss seems one trick ponyish. Good vs fx VC, but bad vs high touness and armor. Deploy them 11 wide for max dmg + characterbunk. A naptha bomb on the sorc prophet would have given you a S&S on short range, for the blundies, but a wolf khan on the side will do the samething with a single thrown weapon, which makes the blundies hit on 4+ instead of 5+ on a S&S which is huuuge!
Your army is good against low armored, toughness 3, infantry heavy list, and you do have lots of utility to deal with many obstacles. I like it, and if you play it well you can win many games
Geist:
Blundies always hit on a 4+ stand and shoot. As long as 10 or more models are in the unit.
Malorndk:
Wow… I suck!!!

Blundies always hit on a 4+ stand and shoot. As long as 10 or more models are in the unit.It is number of models firing not in the unit size. So to get the full bonus of the buss you should field the unit 11 wide so 22 models or 21 if you are putting the bsb is in the unit are firing either way you need 20 models firing to get the re-roll to wound bonus.

Geist:
I am confused by your post. I said as long as there are 10 models firing. The reroll was not what was being talked about. So I kinda don’t get what your on about. I said nothing about unit size, that is a irrelevant comment.

Right so almost a week latter and its time to report what went down at Bayou (which was a blast).
5 Games. Army list are a lil blurry but will do best I can.
Game 1 was against Warriors of Chaos. I have played this guy many times before and hes always a really nice guy. In fact I played my Dark Elves against him at LoneWolf earlier this year and he was a total sport about getting beat up. Once again he was a great guy about the entire mess. I can not recall his list at all. But it was a total win for me yah game 1 win.
Game 2 was against Wood Elves. A fairly generic list, two tens of way watchers. Some more archers 3 units of wild riders. He had 3 characters in one brick. Highlight of the game was a direct hit from dread quake on his block of eternal guard. They had been hit before and lost alot of guys, but this hit was perfect, he made all his look out sirs which meant all damage went to the unit. Well for once in my life I rolled not a single 1 to wound on the splash damage. This was a BOOM moment, as the entire unit poofed out. Another massive win for me.
Game 3 High Elves. This game was my fault and bad gear items in my list. Two frost phoenixes and lord on star dragon. 9 dragon princes with banner of we are assholes. This was a game where I needed just some average luck and my brain to work a tad better than it was. I center all my firepower on the dragon. I get 5 wounds on it, next round I set up to shoot it with the iron demon after quake and hell both fail me to finish the job. I get double missfire take 6 wounds and guns gone. Thats not the worst part, he has the dragon princes and one of the frost charge me. I opt stand and shoot at wrong target. I light up the dragon princes yup, I am that smart. Imagine that I do zero wounds 2+ ward vs flaming. This leads to the slow death of the brick.
Massive loss.
Day 1 sees me not too bad given how bad that game was. 17pts for one game 18pts for another game and 5pts for that ass beating I got. 40pts day 1. Out of 60 not too bad.
Day 2
Its time to make up for mistakes and kick more ass.
Game 4 Demons of chaos. Demon player is very new and does not understand some basics of the game. This leads to him not getting a soul grinder to shoot me until after it had taken 5 wounds from me. When it does get to shoot it suffers a missfire and takes its final wound. Due to the mission set up we end up scoring a draw. But by points I have a clear win on him. So I walk away with a good win. 15pts
Game 5 Orges and the winner of the pink alpacka of doom tm!!! Let me explain that real quick. The other half got a bag of the lil fuzzy dolls for an event shes running, I asked for one to hand out as a boobie gift to whomever had the worst luck against me. So first off a lil about his list, it confused me.
tyrant, level 1 of fire and level 1 of orge magic. A fairly large brick of iron guts, 5 or so maneaters with poison and something else that doesn’t matter, lead bellies with the fire belly. The bsb was with the maneaters, 1 iron blaster and 6 or so units of gnoblers. The tyrant was a really soft build an asf sword and a ward of 4+ and something else cant recall what. By turn two I have smoked the iron demon. Shot up the man eaters a lil. Shot alot of the piss out of the iron guts. When they finally charge me I do some more wounds with stand and shoot and get off robes and blades. Two turns latter after the hell cannon has come in too (gnoblers had to charge it to get out of the way for bulls) he is broken and run down. I lost both khans and that was it. The blunderbusses were beaten to about half or just over over half strength. He calls it at this point and time. I get full win. 20pts
Despite having made some mistakes here and there and taking some useless things like flaming banner. I did rather good. In fact I personally view it as 4 wins 1 loss. 75battle points for the event. The highest points I hear about are 95. So 75 out of 95 is rather good all things said and done.
Bloodbeard:
Congratz on the great games Geist! Bringing some glory to the Dawi Zharr. Thanks for the rundown of the games.
