Star Dragon at 1200pts

#1 Post by Talathel »

Hi guys, iv been looking at a Prince on a star dragon at this points level just after Nagash came out. I played a list using a prince star build with archers and a frostie and it did very well against a list of warriors of chaos using great weapons and nurgle. What do you think about this type of build at a competitive level.

LORD - 597p

Prince
Star Lance
Charmed Shield
Heavy Armour
Lion Cloak
The Other Tricksters Shard
Potion Of Foolhardiness
Star Dragon

CORE - 310p

11x Archers

10x Archers

10x Archers

RARE - 290p

1x Frostheart Phoenix

1x Great Eagle


Would it be better with a lv4 high mage on a moon dragon? Only problem i see is no magic, plus large armies like skaven where we have to pick the fights while dealing with there strange weapons

Looks like the kind of list that would win very easily in certain matchups, but go down in flames sometimes.

Looks like a solid list. but I would change the core to silver helms with champions (probably 2 groups of 6)
archers aren't going to help tat much and at this points level its just charge in and chop chop chop (at least for your list). The champions will help with accept challenges.

Your build is not legal, you have 2 enchanted items.

I would either dump the Potion or trade the The Other Trickster Shard for the Crown.

LORD - 592p

Prince
Star Lance
Charmed Shield
Heavy Armour
Lion Cloak
Golden Crown
Potion Of Foolhardiness
Star Dragon

CORE - 316p

6 Silver Helms, Shields, Musician, Champion - 158p
