Gunnerson:

16 views and no suggestions? Surely this can’t be a perfect list!

rpitts2004:

No hellcannon dreadquake or destroyer.

I’m not a fan of bull centaurs in units less than 6

So here is the list, looking for somthing balanced that can make the most of the minis on my painting table

Sorcer Prophet
Lv 4, Talismin of Preservation   345pts
Looks good but would add charmed shield to make him a 2+ ar save. Also a trick I have found helpful as of late is taking the scepter of stability. Being able to add d6 after a roll to dispel is very useful.

Deamonsmith Sorcerer
LV2 Dispell                                155pts
Looks good but would shave 35pts and make him a lvl1, with the last faq about generals leadership all this guy needs is death sig spell.

Infernal Castellian
BSB, Mask of the Furnace, Shield  198pts
At least give this guy a great weapon, shield is nice but his 3 extra attacks are wasted at st 4.

Hobgoblin Kahn
Lt Armour, Giant Wolf   54pts
give him a spear so hes st5 on the charge and only makes him cost 60pts. Also consider giving him a twin. One is good two are better.

Infernal Guard x31
Great Weapons, Full command  497pts
I think glavies are better because you swing before thunderstomp. But thats a personal call. I would however give them the AP banner. More minuses to ones save the better.

Infernal Guard x 27
Blunderbuss, Full command       518pts
A good unit but would beef it up to 30. Once you start to loss dudes the losses will pile up fast.

Bull Centaur Renders x3
Gt Weapons       150pts
Too small, either make them a 8 with full command and banner of 1 use reroll leadership or make them into a 7 and shove a taurk with stubborn crown into the brick.

Bull Centaur Renders x3
Gt Weapons       150 pts
See above.
Iron Daemon      285 pts
Very subjective, some folks here love them, folks seem to think there are better ways to spend points. I personally have never used a stock iron demon, for the tourney crowd (5 games 2 days) I like a skull cracker better. Makes for a good tar pit and will grind down small blocks fast.

Magma Cannon  145pts
1 is ok works better in tandem with a twin. Also you need either a deadquake or a hell cannon, if you want to have humph in the shooting phase. You need a reason for the guy with the demon with 2+ vs fire or dragon or whatever to be like crap, I got to get to combat fast before he kills my ride in one lucky shot. Currently you dont have that.

I like the idea a lot! Personally, with how light you’ve got your other characters equipped, I don’t know if the BSB deserves the mask of the furnace. I’m going to try mine just with the enchanted shield and dawnstone… rerollable 2+ save instead of a 2+ / 4++.

If you traded that out and dropped a few great weapon infernal guard, you’d have quite a few points to play with. I might try to get enough for a deathshrieker- you could probably get it by just swapping out the mask and 4 of your great weapon IG. With only 2 warmachines, both rather short ranged, there’s not much forcing the enemy to come to you at the moment.

Personally, I think the units of 3 bull centaurs are worth trying, a lot of people have suggested to me that I split mine and try them that way ;). I think it could work!

What lores are you planning on running?
