Steeds and pegasus heavily comped in 2.5 draft I started to think about alternative to obviously good helllebron list for next tournament. Details aside, this is what i was pondering...
DL, coldone, 1+ armor, giantblade, dawnstone
DL , coldone 1+, ogreblade, charmed shield, 4++ talisman
SS lvl4, coldone, ring of hotek, dispel scroll
2xmaster, coldone, 1+, lance
master bsb coldone, cloak of twilight, lance
10 darkriders , fullcmd, shield , rxb
5 darkriders mus
20 rxb shootas
4x reaper
10 CK + movebanner + fullcommand
OR
5 CK and 5 warlocks
Has anyone tried something like this? Idea would be to move fastcavalry into position and then onebyone the characters into sweet positions. This somewhat compensates lack of manouverabilty of coldones compared to steeds. I have succesfully played this kind of list with steeds but then there is no need of unit hopping. Ward lord and bsb should be able to leave units but others need to stick into them.
Giving lore of beast to mage makes the opponent fear savage beast so other spells might have easier day to get through.
If all characters were to hit simultanously it would be like 4xS7 13xS6 and 10xS4 + something from the unit they are in. Ought to be enough against anything else than skaven slave box. And opponent would be hitting back against wall of 1+ armor.
Moving might be tricky thou... feasible?

Well, lore of light wouldnt be bad in this list. Bironas makes that CK unit very fast and very hitty. The other buffs enhances the unit aswell.

Re: etc 2.5 draft mounted list
I haven't played a list like this but it looks promising.
In the early days of the 8th book, I read of people having tournament success with multiple Cold One characters (to overcome the early comp on steed riders).
I like the idea of 10 + move banner, but would also try and squeeze some Warlocks in there somehow (comp dependent of course).
Are ET lists allowed? Because High Magic and World Dragon banner would suit this list well

Re: etc 2.5 draft mounted list
I am actually working on a somewhat similar ETC list.. so this thread caught my interest..
Then I did notice an small error with the ETC 2.5 draft though. You have more than 80 (84) repeater shots, which cost you 2 additional choices (which renders the list incorrect unfortunately). It is easily remedied by removing dropping 2 repeater crossbowmen..

Re: etc 2.5 draft mounted list
arent you (pool) 1pt over? with six characters on Cold Ones? I am interested in this list and would like to tweak it!

Re: etc 2.5 draft mounted list
I honestly don't rate the Cold Ones. I think you will find that your characters become to restricted and that your bus will die quickly against armies with decent shooting. How about playing around with fewer mounts, but using pegs instead? There are some good builds floating around on the internet.
