Hello you lovely lot, I'm entering a local tournament in a few weeks time that isn't set to be particualrly cut-throat, so I thought I would stray away from my usual list building and trying something more fun. The aim of this list is to be as aggressive as humanly possible. Through doing so, I am commiting some cardinal sins- no magic, little shooting. I can justify (to a degree) these omissions through the concept that games will be ending so quickly (one way or the other) that magic wouldn't really get a chance to shine, with only two or three spells being cast. The lack of shooting is mitigated too by the fact that I am going to be positively hurling my army up the board towards my opponent, targeting key units right from my first turn onwards. So, enough faffing around, the list: Seraphon: Bloodclaw Starhost 100 Oldblood on Carnosaur 320 - Leader Scar-Vet on Cold-One 100 - Leader Scar-Vet on Cold-One 100 - Leader Scar-Vet on Cold-One 100 - Leader 10 Saurus Warriors 100 - Battleline Clubs 10 Saurus Warriors 100 - Battleline Clubs 5 Saurus Knights 120 Lances Sub-Total: 1040 Stormcast Eternal: Hammerstrike Force 120 Prosecutors w/ Hammers 100 Retributors 220 Star Mace Protectors 200 Star Mace Vanguard Palladors 220 Javelins Liberators 100 - Battleline Sub-Total: 960 Total: 2000 The general game plan would be to use the three slower units to inexorably march towards objectives, while I tie up (and/or kill) the core of the opposing force with the hyper aggressive package of Bloodclaw heroes with a single unit of Knights to min/max the Scarvets' command ability stacking, along with Palladors that can launch themselves 6D6" in a single direction ignoring enemy models or terrain while doing so, and my Prosecutors that can make my Paladins deep strike into combat. Outside thoughts would be greatly appreciated, remember that I'm not looking to be hyper conmpetitive, just try something a bit different- let me know if you have some cool ideas that are a bit unusual, I'm open to totally changing up this list. On another note, I'm up seeing family in Nottingham in two weekends time, if anyone wants to drop by and have a few friendly games at Warhammer World, let me know!
What's the date you're in Nottingham? I have next week off work (Easter?) so could potentially arrange a day trip! As for the list... I feel like the lack of shooting is going to hurt... I'd also go knights over warriors if possible and firelance starhost for that sweet sweet movement increase.
Oh @InfamousBeany damn you we usually go Warhammer world in October! And that list looks fast and furious!
I do like that hammerstrike, combined with the bloodclaw should be a blast. Nothing but moving in and rolling the dice! Alright a bit more than that, but sounds like a fun list to play, both with and against.
@Ritual I'll be in Nottingham on the 14th/15th! To address your points, I was contempplating going pure Seraphon for more knights as battleline, but the Stormcast add too much to this build to drop unfrotunatel. I feel one unit of Knights is innocuous enough to get into combat, where those extra bite attacks will do some work. The firelance was also another thing i had considered, but it would leave me without any battleline locked up in formations, which is important to me for max value. @Crowsfoot Disaster! It would perhaps be fun to have a Lustria Online Warhammer World meetup one day... @Bowser That was the intention- I want it to be a fun game for both me and my opponents. The Stormcast really add a lot to complement Seraphon, particulalry with their formations and new units. One day I will fit both a Bastiladon and Stardrake into a list...
Sounds like a plan we usually go 1/2 term in October and me and Archie spend a full day there usually just watching and browsing the gallery.
Cool, I'll broach the subject with the wife tonight and see if I can take a trip up. Either day preferable for you? Definitely up for some kind of L-O meetup there later in the year too if we can organise a suitable date!
Last year there was an event all weekend so we need to check whats available closer to the time, WW calendar only shows 3 months in advance.
@Ritual I imagine I will be there mostly on the Friday, but I can be flexible! I think we try and make this a thing, it would be nice to perhaps hold a super casual fun tournament in the summer some time- it would be great to chill with some of you guys and talk lizards! To return to the list in question, if I were to go heavier on the Saurus Knights (and by proxy, remove the Stormcast contingent) what would be best to fill the void? I'm tempted to play around with EOTGs and fish for extra turns so I can cycle my knights easier...
The calendar shows some kind of event on over the easter weekend... I don't know how/if booking tables is a thing, but could be busy being easter?
I've emailed them to see if we can reserve a table for the Friday, wife is surprisingly on-board and wants to come along too. Maybe cos I promised her a night away up there.
@Ritual I shall do my damndest to be there on time, if I'm running a tad late I'll drop you a PM on here to let you know beforehand. I look forward to grabbing some games with you!
Excellent, we can grab a game or two then I can drag my wife around the exhibition halls, never been before!
There is a travel lodge that is about 5 mins from WW by car or 25 walking, we stopped there it was ok, if your driving there is a industrial estate near that has 10 pin bowling, or just goto the pub next to the travellodge. Nottingham Riverside https://www.travelodge.co.uk/hotels/161/Nottingham-Riverside-hotel?rooms[0][roomId]=azicfq6qnrf8er&rooms[0][adults]=1&rooms[0][children]=0&rooms[0][extras][0]= The exhibition is well worth the money.
Ha, great minds - that is the place I was looking. My wife, however, is trying to hurt my wallet slightly more. Not like we're in the process of buying a house or anything grumble grumble
@Ritual Looking forward to having a game or two tomorrow, couple of things: 1. You ok if I try the above list out? 2. I might be a tad late to the table, going to be sampling some of Bugman's wares with my folks first
Sure, I think I've got to let them know I'm there at 10 regardless so I'll be floating around. Go for the list, I'll see what I've got with me to make the 2k, it won't be particularly impressive though!
