no tricks up this sleeve

Post by Darkangel16 »

my friend had this idea for a list, i wondered what you guys thought about it.

dreadlord
shield,sdc,crimson death, 2 null tally, armor of eternal servitude, dark steed

master
BSB,SDC,shield,, ring of hotek, hvy armr, dark steed,cloak of hag graef,lance

master
sdc,shield,heavy armor,sword of might, PoK, pegasus

25 spears(all spear blocks have shields)
FC, warbanner

24 spears
FC

24 spears
FC

5 dark riders
rxb,muso

5 darkriders
rxb,muso

2x 5 harpies

10 RxB


2x COC

4x RBT

its very straightforward, chariots supporting spears, RBT fire support, harpies,dark riders and peggy master to deal with warmachines
all C&C greatly appreciated

Looks good but there are a few things you could change:

dreadlord
shield,sdc,crimson death, 2 null tally, armor of eternal servitude, dark steed

I personally dont see the dreadlord as an option for this list. What role will he play? If combaty then AOD & CD. S6 w/ 1+ AS no need to try and give him 2 diff. types of save he dies, he dies but the army must live on.

master
BSB,SDC,shield,, ring of hotek, hvy armr, dark steed,cloak of hag graef,lance

The ring bearer mabye give him Death P. instead of the cloak since he'll be hiding in the block of spears as well. if not then have him ride the peggy to give the ring coverag to all units


master
sdc,shield,heavy armor,sword of might, PoK, pegasus

Make him the BSB instead and put him on the steed instead. Great combo.

25 spears(all spear blocks have shields)
FC, warbanner

mabye instead of 25 spears invest in freny corsiars. Youll have the benifit of another A and ITP.

24 spears
FC

See if you can get a magic banner mabye the cold-blooded ban. or ban. of murder.

24 spears
FC

Same as above. (why so many spears??)

5 dark riders
rxb,muso

5 darkriders
rxb,muso

2x 5 harpies

10 RxB

shrink them down to 8 and put them on a single line might as well have them all shoot instead of 5. I find the 10 in 2 rows of 5 is kind of a waste as most of the time only 5 will be able to shoot plus it saves you 20pts.

2x COC

GO COCs. Love these guys and you gotta have them in pairs. Never leave home without them.

4x RBT

Ouch feel sorry for your opponents

Looks ok but you need to get some more Magic defense. Combat wise will be hard but fun just get YOUR charges and plow on through. Have you thought about a Hag w/ COB can really help this list. Good luck.

RxB is 10+ mate.

The Dreadlord is there because the Leadership 10 will be invaluable.
BSB/Frodo will be in the middle of my army anyway, so he might as well serve two purposes.
I want to keep Frodo in a place where he won't be sniped easily. I.E. not on a Pegasus.
Magic banner would be nice, but I don't know what to drop. Maybe the Rxbs if they don't work out for me.
And Rxbs cannot be less then 10 strong. If they could I would have two units of 5.

Thanks for the quick reply!
