Maerjain's Raiders - 2250 pts

Post by Lonewandererd »

You're all probably getting bored of seeing my list so this will be the last one. It's still a raiding force but with a little extra punch. I'm not adding anything else, mainly because I'm running out of names of evil sea creatures but if i do expand in the future i'll add a Dreadlord on Dark Pegasus

Heroes

Master Maerjain - 128
Master with Additional Hand Weapon, Sea Dragon Cloak, Blood Armour and Pearl of Infinite Bleakness. Joins the Kraken Raiders

Mistress Viera - 185
Level 2 Sorceress with Power Familiar and Tome of Furion. Uses Fire or Dark Magic

Priestess Mal - 125
Death Hag with Witchbrew and Cry of War. Joins the Silent Murderers

Core

Levithan Raiders - 155
20 Spear Warriors with Shields and Full Command

Siren Regiment - 115
10 Repeater Crossbow Warriors with Shields and Musician

Kraken Raiders - 240
19 Corsairs with Full Command and Banner of Murder

Serpent Raiders - 155
15 Corsairs with Musician

Sea Hag Raiders - 155
15 Corsairs with Repeater Handbows and Musician

The Silent Brothers - 139
6 Dark Riders with Repeater Crossbows and Musician

The Savage Nymphs - 66
6 Harpies

The Son of Khaine - 146
Assassin with Additional Hand Weapon, Rune of Khaine and Manbane

Special

The Silent Daughters - 108
6 Shades with Great Weapons

The Silent Murderers - 258
19 Executioners with Full Command

Rare

Maerjain's Pet - 175
War Hydra

The Long Knives - 100
Reaper Bolt Thrower

TOTAL: 2250

Theres my list heres my plan.

The Hydra, Executioners and large Corsairs unit with Master will form the main charge, each one will be supported by one the smaller Corsair units or the Spear Warriors who will prove flanking charges.

With the use of her Familiar the Sorceress will try and stay out of sight. I know one Level 2 will provide a lot of magic defense so thats why the Shades and Harpies are going mage hunting. If there is no real magical threat the Harpies will screen the Executioner and the Shades and Dark Riders will attack targets of opputunity. The Bolt Thrower will try and soften up the enemy or aim for enemy missile troops.

So, how does this list play out? Feedback is welcomed if not needed.

Nice list but with all the ranked infantry a BSB is almost standard to help you hold the line and the extra boost for static.

Maybe exchange the Serpent raiders with a dedicated BSB as the unit doesn't add too much to the list.

I've been looking into ways to drop the Serpent Raiders, mainly because I wouldn't be able to fit them into my model case without cutting up most of the model holders. But no matter how I look at it I can't figure out what to replace them with.

If i also cut out the Reaper I could make it into a 2000 pt list, would that work? I'm really tempted to cut out the Khainites just becuase they seem a little out of place but to lose them would be to lose most of my punch.

Aghh, maybe i should just go back to my 1750 pt list, i had no real problems there and all the models would fit into my case.

I think a good exchange is

Death Hag, BSB, Standard of Hag Graef to sit in the executioners and ASF on them is vicous.

The khainites are good but a cauldron would really boost them or the above BSB.

Okay, after playing around with some ideas I have come up with this exchange.

Drop the Serpent Raiders and Death Hag and replace them with a BSB Hag with Standard of Hag Graef, a unit of 6 Shades with AHW and a magic banner for the Leviathan Raiders (war banner or Banner of Murder, depending on what I give the Kraken Raiders).

This doesn't hurt my case and is still under 2250 pts.

How would that work?

That would work a lot better. Maybe Rune on the BSB but i think War banner on the executioners could be a lot better, good static and ASF for fun.
