So let me now what you think!

Baggronor:

Nice to see someone making full use of naked Hobgoblin slaves. They really are too useful. I would combine a few of the units to get 2 blocks of 40 to really tarpit people, and then some 10s to redirect.

Maybe try 21 Blorcs in 7x3 for maximum attacks? I think it would be more efficient than 5x4. They should kick serious bum with Lore of Shadow buffs.

Not sure the Bull Centaurs are worth it. They look like an easy 105VPs to me.

Banner of Eternal Flame on one of the Warrior units? It really helps against those dirty Abominations/Hydras/Treemen.

Black Hammer of Hashut on the Taurus Lord? I think he has enough magic item allowance left (unless I’ve got the points wrong) and the look on a WE player’s face when you one-shot a Treeman is just priceless :wink:

Da Crusha:

your lord should have hammer of hashut and armour of the furnace with a shield, they almost do the exact same things as your set up except you can auto kill flammable things. you have 2 armour of ghazraks. I like the list it reminds me of my favorite list right now.

Loki:

Da Crusha

Da Crusha:

Maybe put the extra points to either a death wizard to snipe enemy characters or another shadow wizard to make sure you can debuff enemy units.

Almost the same as your list with little tweaks, Da Crusha.:cheers 2582 on the total, how to get it to 2500? Comments & Criticism?

Da Crusha:

ohh I really like the list! :cheers I absolutely love the lammasu, it works so good for me. today I played a game and the lammasu flew around and sniped a vampire hero on the first turn and a vargulf on the 3rd and then sniped a necromancer on the 4th. all of this was extremely effective and shutting down his plans. later that turn I killed the vampire lord with an earthshaker shot and he no longer had a magic phase!

Its a tough call, what to get rid of. I use level 1 shadow mages because the first spell is good enough and also because I needed the points. I personally would drop the units of 10 hobgoblins. I used to use them in 7th but in 8th edition they are so easy to wipe out and then instead of exposing a flank, the enemy gets to do a free reform. I know there are more tricks that can be done with them but honestly I havent tried them out that much in 8th edition because I feel like hobgoblins are better used in big units.

I would have to say that I think your most dispensible things would have to be some shadow levels, some hobgoblins, and maybe a bolt thrower. like I said its a tough call.
