2500p for comp-of-(Questionable-)Gentlemanliness HELP
Posted: Tue Sep 11, 2012 7:20 pm
Ok, so there is this tournament coming up, right. Therefore I could use some help. Normally, I´d go for a khanite buildbacked by heavy magic. It has worked well in the past and that list, I know how to play.
This time, however, there are Constraints. A considerable part of the tournament is the team competition which calls for rather special builds as well as gentlemanly conduct. As for the conduct, I have a coach but the list needs some thinking done. Thus, I turn to You d-netters.
But first the Constraints:
No lord-level wizards
One unit must be precisely 500pts
The entire list must be precisely 2500pts
No double specials/rares
So anyways, I had a look on the recent etc-lists and came up with the following. It is not quite tloedg but I feel the Constraints warrant some stern measures.
Lord on Dragon /569
Sea dragon cloak, shield
Armor of eternal servitude, Dragonbane gem, Black dragon egg, Whip of agony, Ironcurse Icon
Kind of defensive build I guess. Dual breath attacks to trim ranks on opposing infantry. Other ideas? OTS perhaps?
Master BSB on Cold one /214
Full armor kit, lance
Hydra banner
This guy is gentlemanly but a CoB could provide more value. Or?
Master on Pegasus /198
Full armor kit, repeating handbow
Pendant of Khalaeth, Soulrender
Cheesy but rather dashing…
Sorcreress L2 metal /160
Dispell scroll
Is metal the thing this list needs?
Hydra /175
15 Cold One Knights /500
Full command
w/ Banner of Hag Graef, Other tricksters shard, Charmed Shield
BSB go with these guys. Ring of hotek would be nice but I don’t seem to fit it into a 500p unit. A unit if witch elves and a COB bsb is a potential replacement for this unit but much slower and thus not as good a support for the dragonlord. Or is it?
40 Spearmen /270
Full command
w/ Banner of discipline
11 Crossbowmen /125
Muso, standard
Sorceress go here.
5 Dark Riders /117
Muso & RxBs
5 Dark Riders /117
Muso & RxBs
5 Harpies /55
//2500 points sharp
So the way I picture this is to rush up one flank with the fast hitty stuff, take out some medium unit or two and then try to keep losses to a minimum. I could use some more diverters/war machine hunters but how to fit them?
Also, I am considering a metal mage. The signature spell comes in handy against Stanks and the such. One option would be to run her as L1 and use the extra points to get Ruby ring.
Other ideas? Would it work? Any input greatly appreciated!
