[Archive] The Daemonsmith's Handbook - Set up and unit placement

Bloodbeard:



For general tactics when using LoA. How to place your army during the set up phase of games. Sample lists are welcome (or must have units), in combination with diagrams etc.

sam585:



Here is the Chaos Dwarf corner castle.  The units are labeled, but most importantly you will notice that the entire army is deployed inside of both the Generals inspiring presence, and the BSB re-roll. Additionally every 2 warmachines are under the watch of a demonsmith.

Additionally, if you cannot get a corner, you would deploy on your table edge as the back line, but keep the same unit placement. The Chaos dwarfs and hobgoblins are the front of your castle walls, and the hellcannons are the side walls.

Army is as follows:

Sorcerer prophet lvl 4 hashut
