That is his 2k list. I might play against his 1250 as I think it favours my list better but even 2k list isā€¦ wellā€¦ has no punch. I have to get into range ASAP to chew through those units. I might even ambush sneaky gits. They will melt non-knight units from sides or back.

In a 2k game I also have 2 ā€œfirst chargeā€ units that can break peasants in one round. Even Taurā€™ruk can one shot a unit. Impact hits+4 attacks vs a banner.

928

Man sneaky gits, plus barrage of hailshot blunderbuss, you are going to have a fun time. I was about to suggest to grab a hellbound Iron Deamon but whatā€™s the point.

The only real threat on his side is the spell casting.

929

Sure. Spellcasting can do some damage but MR(2) saves from direct attacks and extra ward is not a bat thing either. Not to mention he can not hide his mounted heroes next to infantry so I can shoot them with bolt throwers :smiley:

I did take Hellbound.

We play most basic scenario with Dominance and one 200 VP object in the middle. I must keep balance between killing peasants and taking table quarters.

I think you need to play a very soft list or it wont be fun. Get all your hobbos out. Drop the monsters and iron daemons. Have a fluff-fest instead!

931

We have to play lists we registered for the round.

How would you resolve the impact hit ? Prior to any challenges declared ?

Yes, Impact Hits are resolved before Challenges are issued.

Donā€™t forget to keep us updated with the battle report ! Looking forward reading it.

Had a game yesterday where I finally tried out the steam carriage magma cannon. In these infantry heavy times, it may deserve a second look - it certainly accrued a considerable amount of kills yesterday :fire:

Lamassu once again proved lackluster, a castellan on a bull is just bad, ironsworn in core are ridiculous, but after parry, infernal guard with all the trimmings got a leg up.

I never understood why people do not like magma cannons. S5 hits!

Itā€™s cause of the inaccuracies of the template and poor targets due to linehammer. But now with ranked infantry more prevalent, I think we have a thing here :thinking:

Speaking of flamersā€¦ I was thinking cheap lvl1 caster on Lammasu with breath weapon. S4, AP2, AB(2), magical.

T4 really holds them back, as I experienced in my battle last Saturday :grimacing: Theyā€™re taken down easily by even a limited amount of low S shooting (and itā€™s a large target, so no hiding from it). That, combined with the fact that it needs to get real close to unleash the best breath weapon in the game! makes it a points sink of dubious value imo. A hobo khan on wolf with breath of hashut, though? Maybe :thinking:

Do both! Got to hurt.

If the lammasu is clearly totally behind a building where a unit with bows cannot see any of it, do you still rule that he can be shot?

941

No LOS, no shooting with BS weapons.

Interesting list. How would you guys approach IT? There is a huge shooting block that does weird things in movement phase with naval discipline.

Hi @MiSiO are you allowed to use Renegades? If so, you can make a T9 bale Taurus/castellan. This beast is immune to the S3 shooting, and is only wounded on a 6+ by dragon or noble. Heā€™s sub-400 so he can pin down the dragon and be points efficient. One or two deathshriekers should be able to do some damages to the archers. And steed of shadows plus sneaky gitz can take on the sisters. Basically cheap goblins, shooting, magic missiles, plus toughness 9 should help. Iā€™m guessing things like the iron daemon or a Lamassu will be shot off the board (which normally I love taking!)

I do consider taking back the 2x DS list too.

Fly&shoot? I have 2 units so I could fly one and ambush another behind those infantry unitsā€¦
