refining the 2250 points list-aiming for mid tier comp

#1 Post by Joelatron »

So Having played a few games I've refined the list I want to take to the next local tournament. The local scene isn't full of cheese, so I want ot create the list with that in mind.

HEre it is:


2248
archmage,
level 4, silver wand, ring of fury, sacred incense 340
BSB
halberd, banner of sorcery, shield dragon armour, barded steed 188
noble
eagle, ench shield, reaver bow, dragon armour, halberd 195

16 spears, banner, mus 159
10 archers 110

6 dragon princes 190
m
6 dragon princes, 230
M, std, warbanner
15 white lions, 290
std, champ, lion std, amulet of light
2 tiranoic chariots 170
Sword Masters 126
M

eagle 50
2 RBTs 200


so got 7-9 PD and only 4 DD with +1 to dispel.
BSB either hangs in the whitelions or in the spearelves.
lvl4 hangs in the spear elves with the -1 to hit with shooting to hopefully help keep them around
reavor bow noble has all the fun as my mobile s5 shots and light stuff hunter

2 dragon prince punch units
whitelions to chop up wraiths or monsters/be the anvil
chariots to be annoying
swordmasters to go choppy chop
under the cover of RBT and archers

So, what you think?

The guts of it look fine to me but I'd suggest a few changes.

Firstly, if you have extra models, I'd up the Spears to 19, you need the ranks and US. If you don't, I'd put Lion Std on them to prevent autobreaking. With that and the BSB they could be OK. In this case you would need to upgrade the Lions to Standard of Balance, which is a good pick anyway if you have the points.

It's a shame to duplicate the standard build but I reckon you need to replace Sacred Incense with 2 scrolls. Even if you're not facing big magic phases you need these IMHO. The Eagle Noble is good in himself but I think a bit of a luxury in a list like this. Run him and see how he goes I guess.
