I have a tournament this Saturday; here's the list I sent the Master Manipulator (every store needs one) for this event.
Herald of Tzeentch: Chariot, Bolt, Breath, Gaze, Master of Sorcery = 130
Herald of Khorne: Chariot, Might, Fury (Str6 - 7 on the charge - Rending) = 110
Fiends x 6: Might = 190
Plaguebearers x 5 = 75
Bloodletters x 9: Icon = 169
Daemon Prince of Tzeentch: Might, Bolt = 160
2 of each Herald, 3 Fiends, 2 Plaguebearers, 1 Bloodletters, 3 Daemon Princes = 13 Units
I'm testing the Khorne Heralds and Bloodletters, though neither unit is currently in my Hard Boyz List (the one Stelek's sponsoring). The Heralds are there for CC, obviously, but with Str. 7 Rending on the charge, I have chances against Mech. - not great, since I'll need 6's to start with AV 13+, but it's at least an option.
I'm also testing Might on the DP's. I'm a bit nervous here, because they've been such great fire-platforms for me, but 6+2d6 Armor Penetration gives me good chances for a Penetrating AV14 on the charge.
The obvious downside is the number of troops units: I'd prefer 4 at 1850. I'm hoping that the threats in HQ, Elite, and Heavy gives my opponent something to shoot at other than 'bearers, but we'll see.
Thoughts?
I hope that you are not allowed to use this list for the tourmanent since we are playing 1750.
ReplyDeleteYea, yea - the MM(esno) called to let me know I'd submitted 1850 rather than 1750.
ReplyDeleteStill, the army isn't too different.
I doubt I'll get many comments anyway - there are a ton of folks at Adepticon.
Looks like a solid build, but I worry about the singular icon on the bloodletters - would it be better off with the plaguebearers?
ReplyDeleteI kill troops to win, since holding Daemons off an objective isn't that hard. I'd drop some killy for troops, for sure.
