Heavy Hittin' part 2 (BSB must DIE!)

BSB must DIE!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
High Sorceress, lvl 4, steed, Dark Star Cloak , CoBI, Dispel Scroll = 353
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Noble, Heavy Armor, Great Weapon, SDC, Cold One = 110
Noble, Heavy Armor, Great Weapon, SDC, Cold One = 110
Noble, Heavy Armor, Great Weapon, SDC, Cold One, Seal = 135
9 x Cold One Knights, Standard Bearer, War Banner = 304
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
War Hydra = 220
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 x Cold One Knights, Champ, Standard Bearer, Musician = 219
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chariot w/ Spears = 97
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chariot w/ Spears = 97
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 x Dark Riders, RXB’s, Musician = 127
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 x Dark Riders, RXB’s, Musician = 127
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 x Dark Riders, Musician = 97
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
= 1998

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The point of this uber-cheesy list is TAKE OUT THE BATTLE BANNER! With 3 Nobles in the front rank that is 9 WS 6 hits at strength 6. A very good probability in killing the BSB in one shot!. With the Hydra backing it up it should do well. If I can manage to get the Chariots across the field in time they could help out the 6 CoK's. The Dark Riders will annoy and hopefully draw a charge out. The High Sorceress (which is most important) HAS TO roll 6 for Black Horror and then the fun can begin. I might trade the Darkstar cloak in for the TIme of Furion but that extra power dice does come in handy.

Any other suggestions on taking out the near invinsible High Elf Cavalry list I showed you?

uuummm just wondering don't you think your army is a bit small?

you could get lots of flank charges even with the power house you have put up there.......

wads the dif between with or without spears?

fun list thought.....cheap in terms of cash.........maybe drop the COC and go for a nize unit of 20 20 spearmen or RXB

The last time I used this list I massacred a Skaven army and ended up with around 2500 victory points.

Noble, Heavy Armor, Great Weapon, Sea Dragon Cloak = 110
Noble, Heavy Armor, Great Weapon, Sea Dragon Cloak = 110
Noble, Heavy Armor, Great Weapon, Sea Dragon Cloak, Seal = 137

May want to take another look at those point costs... I cant figure out how the seal is costing you 27 points

Dark lord · Post by **Dark lord** » Thu Nov 13, 2003 5:56 am

i just can't figure out how come your Cok are in one straight line?does your opponent play with 6 in one line too?i thought standard is always ranks of 5......

I can't figure how your nobles are costing that much period.

Noble, Heavy Armor, Great Weapon, Sea Dragon Cloak = 110
Noble, Heavy Armor, Great Weapon, Sea Dragon Cloak = 110
Noble, Heavy Armor, Great Weapon, Sea Dragon Cloak, Seal = 137

The first two should be 84pts each and the second (can't have great weapon) should be 130pts.

Sorry, I forot to add cold ones to to each of the Nobles. The Seal does only cost 25 points too so that would be 135 points. I'll edit the list and fix it.

That's actually a little trick a long-time player taught me. Most people do 5 wide because that is what the GW base sizes are. However, if you have a front rank of 6-7 vs. a 5 wide enemy, that's 2 extra attacks that you get and they don't. If i'm fielding a big block of infantry, i'll usually field 'em 24 strong, 6 x 4.

I can't believe someone dug this relic up! Actually the CoK unit was in a 4x3 formation. The list is not cheap in money terms, here in Canada a box of 4 Cold One Knights is $50.00.

Quite a good list i must say, covers magic. But vulnerable to shooting due to your small numbers....Maybe you can consider having harpies or shades to do some warmahine killing.

This is the kind of army that I would only ever use in a set-up "just for fun" game. Not my usual run of the mill list. It is very power gaming and WAAC'y.

This army is closer to the " style " of army I am playing these days.

High Sorceress (215), Lv4 (40), Steed (18), Darkstar Cloak (20), 2x Dispel Scroll (50) = 343

Noble (70), HA (4) SDC (6), BSB (25), Warbanner (25) = 130

18 Spearmen (126) shields (18), Command (25) = 169
5 Dark Riders (90), Musician (7) = 97
5 Dark Riders (90), Musician (7) = 97

Cold one Chariot (95), spears (2) = 97
Cold one Chariot (95), spears (2) = 97
10 Executioners (110), Champion (12) = 122
12 Witch Elves (156), Hag (12) = 168
7 Cold One Knights (203), Champ (18) = 221

14 Black Guard (224), Command (35) = 259
Reaper Bolt Thrower = 100
Reaper Bolt Thrower = 100

TOTAL = 2000

I really like that idea of 3 nobles in the front rank. That's pretty cool.

Sulam · Post by **Sulam** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 9:11 pm

3 nobles in the frnt rank is cool indeed.

You sd you massacared kaven. You must note that that isn't too hard as it looks since you have lots of high unit strength fear causers and skaven aren't know of their good leaderhip.

All I can think of when i picture that unit of 3 nobles is that they will make the unit an obvious choice for warmachines. Whats your plan for dealing with this?
