    In a couple of weeks I'm going to play a tournament at 2000 pts.
    Leaving aside that I'm still uncertain if i will play Seraphon or not, i'm going to post a couple of ideas. I want to play something fun but effective at the same time.

    the basic is: triple engine!!!


    LIST 1

    SLANN (general, great rememberer)
    OLDBLOOD on CARNO (ethereal amulet)
    ENGINE of the GODS
    ENGINE of the GODS
    ENGINE of the GODS
    10 SKINKS

    Shadowstrike starhost
    SK. STARPRIEST

    3 RIPPERDACTYLS
    10 SKINKS
    10 SKINKS

    still 100 pts. 2 command pts?

    Shadowstrike w. only 3 rippers is almost wasted, but it's still a psycological threat and it's a 7 drops list; plus, i will have a lot of command pts to burn when I'll attack with the Oldblood.


    LIST 2

    SLANN (general, great rememberer)
    OLDBLOOD on CARNO (ethereal amulet)
    ASTROLITH BEARER
    SK. STARPRIEST
    ENGINE of the GODS
    ENGINE of the GODS
    ENGINE of the GODS
    10 SKINKS
    10 SKINKS
    10 SKINKS
    4 SALAMANDERS
    4 RAZORDONS
    3 HANDLERS
    Cronomantic Cogs


    This is going to be fun.
    I will never decide who goes first in the first round, but who cares? I will place my dinos lastly, when i already know the set-up of my opponent.
    Then full summoning with Slann + astrolith + Cogs + triple Engine
    And nice shooting with those 2 blocks of sallies / razors (astrolith or teleport), good melee with the buffed Carno and possibly 3d6 MWs by the EotG.

    I rather like second list. It will be vulnerable to turn one chargers like Idoneth, Beast of Chaos, and Dok. Your screening will have to be near perfect to stop an Eel bomb, but that is always the case.

    I Believe you are only allowed 6 heroes at 2k. So, you might have to drop the Starpriest. Fortunately they are cheap to summon if you find yourself in need. Maybe bring a Balewind Vortex in place of the Starpriest.

    Argh. You are of course right.
    Yeah, it's not a so big problem.

    alternatively, i could simply add 10 skinks. Another screening unit cannot hurt.

    OK, if i play Seraphon I'll go for the nd list minus the starpriest (that will be summoned asap)

    BUT I'm also thinking to play an Order List. No seraphon at all.

    Tell me what do you think of it.



    140 Lord ORDINATOR
    380 Celestial HURRICANUM w. Battlemage
    300 3 x 10 Freeguild HANDGUNNERS
    360 20 IRONDRAKES
    120 ORGAN GUN
    160 CANNON
    180 HELSTORM rocket battery
    100 COGSMITH
    260 STEAM TANK


    It seems nasty enough… :D

    That looks like a very nice list. Lots of strong shooting.

    I think that 4 Razordons are better than 1 cannon. Granted, the Cogsmith won't do much to help the Razordons.

    neither the Lord Ordinator…

    The only way to use razors in this list, would be to move them alongside the celestial hurricanum (a thing that will already do the Steam Tank, btw)

    The Order List also has the advantage that i won't need to hire a truck, to transport all the summonable minis i should have with me, playing with a Slann / Astrolith / Cogs / triple Engine... :p

    I also like the second triple-EotG list.
    It looks like fun.

    Sure, if you get attacked first turn you are toast. But if not it will be hilarious unless you roll terribly bad.
