My list was ~

SS - lvl 4 fire, Ring of Hotek, Scroll, Shrieking Blade,
Dreadlord - 2+, 4++, OTS, Ogre Blade

Master - 1+ rerollable, potion of strength

14 Witches
14 Witches
10 Dark Riders
5 Dark Riders

4 Bolt Throwers
30 Executioners

10 Warlocks
5 Warlocks

Nice game and write up. Thx for posting

Also: Love the natty colour scheme on your Witches, Exes and DR. Looks really good on the board

Thanks for watching and for the kind words!

Really enjoyed the report and looking forward to more content!

Great report, I really enjoyed it.

One final point you made was that Beasts didn't work as well for you. I would agree that with most of your punch coming from an executioner horde, that Beasts isn't ideal. However, Beasts is a great lore, especially when including the amount of Warlocks you have. Early game, Warlocks are able to supplement the lore's lack of a real magic missile and also are a fantastic target for Wildform. Try to cast a Soulblight from the Warlocks to draw out dice, and now you have a Wildform, which is 95% of the time slightly better assuming they're in combat or about to be shot at by something less than a cannon.

Also, Curse of Anraheir and Amber Spear are fantastic spells that in many situations are must stops, allowing you to get Wildform/Doombolt off.

Overall though, give Metal a try. I think that lore will be fantastic for your army.

Good points on Beasts. I think I rolled up Flock of Doom, Curse, Pelt, and Savage Beast, so I ended up dropping Pelt for Wildform. Flock was nice for skinks and curse helped stop some of his units from moving. I think I had some lower dice magic phases that game, so I couldn't get too many spells through, which might be why I found beasts to be unhelpful. Spear would have really been good to have considering he had 2 lone cold one characters and 2 monsters.

Metal is a great option. I bring it all the time on my daemons, which is why I didn't bring it here. But you're right, it would have fit really well. Searing doom/hounds would have destroyed those monsters/characters with 2+ and 3+ saves, enchanted blades is great on witches since they really struggle with armor, and 5+ scaly skin makes executioners a lot more durable. Next time I play the list, I might just go with metal.

And thanks for watching!
