I would, for sure drop your black orcs and add atleast two units of 20 hobo archers in the stead of 9 black orcs and 20 sword and board to screen your chaos dwarfs till they get in range.

with command on both?

Hey hey. Finally made an account to not be a lurker anymore :slight_smile: I feel like armor of destiny is overkill on a character that’s not meant to take damage… Essentially paying 40pts for 1 more point of ward save than a talisman of protection.

My “cheap” Prophet will likely be:
Sorcerer-Prophet [320 pts]

  • Hand weapon
  • Heavy armour
  • Be a Level 4 Wizard
  • On foot
  • Talisman of Protection
  • Flying Carpet
  • Breath of Hashut
  • Daemonology

He can hide next to infantry, and is very mobile due to the flying carpet. I may give him mantle of stone instead of the breath weapon for some added survivability, but I like the idea of him flying up next to a wide block (which we’re likely gonna see now, 7 side minimum), and unleashing the breath of Hashut :japanese_ogre::fire: Not sure about the spell lore yet. At higher points (this guy is for a 1200pts list) I’d give him a lamassu, probably, for that sweet MR (-3), extra wounds and inbuilt flying.

The Seneschal I’d probably consistently give mask of the furnace and an enchanted shield for max survivability, and a darkforged weapon for some CC oomph, but I can see merit in keeping him cheap if he’s mostly there to be BSB.

Infernal Guard with fireglaives. I like it. I don’t think blackshard armor is worth it on those guys, though.

Hobgoblins I’d always take as archers - as others mentioned 2*20 - but I’m beginning to warm up to a unit with axe and board as well. Might just have to try it.

Are we thinking that warmachines are no longer as worthwhile as before? I’m probably going to be bringing a deathshrieker and Dreadquake as the norm, with a daemonsmith to aid in accuracy/reliability. Maybe even two hobo ballistas, for the fun of it.

I’m still trying to decide whether Ironsworn are worth it. They seem better than chaos chosen, for less pts, actually, but does that mean that we have to take them? On the fence about that one.

Big fat iron daemon. I don’t have a model for it, so I shan’t be fielding it. I’d be interested to know how it fares, though. I may convert a Thomas the tank engine :see_no_evil:

Lastly I’ve stubbornly decided to make bulltaurs work. A friend of mine mentioned that they’re probably meant to be played kind of like heavy chariots, and I took that to heart. 3 of them with a Tau’ruk, blasting into the flank of an otherwise engaged or multi charged unit. Yeah, I can see that. Time will tell, though.
