[Archive] Warmaster: Legion Of Azgorh list

fattdex:

Hi guys,

I’m putting together a Legion Of Azgorh list for Warmaster- I am up to developing spells right now, one will certainly be based on Ash Storm so that any units designated as having Flaming attacks cause +1 hit on the cursed unit.

Here is the PDF, please let me know if other things such as the Iron Train and Armoured Carriages make sense

Just pick up on errors in Burning Bright (Dragon=Destroyer, 3/2 attacks = 4 attacks)

fattdex:

Here is an updated complete draft, aside from fluff and proper type setting.

Any comments?

That’s a nice idea.

Talked about your list with a guy on the French Warmaster forum, here are our thoughts:

- the army seems too strong. Solid infantry (as it should be), with good cavalry, a huge amount of artillery and monsters with an effective chain of command. No weakness. Even magic, if not terrific, is pretty easy to cast.

- Too many special rules:

- Flaming attacks (if respectful of the fluff) is not really useful. Machines could just ignore defense bonus or inflict a -1 armour save for example.

- Armoured carriage. Ok it is useless in warhammer, and it could be nice in Warmaster, but the troop transport option will lead to strange and complicated situations, and it does not exist in the warhammer army list, so why ? The idea is fun, but in fact, i’m not sure.

Hope to help :slight_smile:

Maybe i need to restrict troops more. And put up destroyer price. Good points on ideas for ‘flaming’ and would change ash storm to have another effect most likely.

The troop transport is a chaos dwarf player wishlist item :wink: it is ok to put something like that in i think, some army lists are totally invented, ill have to try it out and think of exceptions (like they should not be driven back by shooting).

I totally understand your point, and fluffy speaking i don't find it shocking. It is easy to imagine the legion travelling with artillery in a train and infantery in an other.

Yet, IMHO it is a source of complications during the games, and overpowerness. Since it even does not exist in the tamurkhan army list, i think it will be rather difficult to make people accept it in regular games.

I think the spells should be harder to cast (Sorcerer Prophet are not better wizards than tzeentch followers, to say the least) point costs should be higher, and the chain of command should be worse. Even if dwarfs are reliable troops, an evil army is a good place to be betrayed by people you thought were covering your back.

Grimstonefire:

Are you converting the GW dwarf models or have you found another company selling something suitable?

I considered sculpting some but gave up as I realised I couldn’t cast them.

French_noodle:

Eureka Miniatures made some interesting minis for CD. Not ine the FW style but very nice anyway i think.

fattdex:

Yes, using eureka!

Here is a revision:

Keeping the carriages, as I intend to model some, and it is cool. Go with rule of cool.

Will play them to make sure they work at some point, but i think the revision is a lot clearer.

Everything with a revision is in red.

Skink:

Sorry to divert the conversation on minis, but do you guys remember Azraezekiel and his Chaos Dwarf Warmaster army?

fattdex:

Is awesome yes.

Testing this Thursday

CHANGED- Deathshrieker removed due to redundant (why have a worse stone thrower), Dreadquake notes reference Skull Chukka (rules were the same!), artillery rules cleaned up.

fattdex:

Hello all,

I have made a new update to the Warmaster Legion list

A friend will be writing up some first page story for me, then I will pretty up the document, but it iessentially good to go for playtesting.

Thanks,
