That is certainly a solid horde list. I would recommend changing the unit size of your nightrunners though, as 12 naked nightrunners is a poor unit size. Reduce them to 6 and equip them with extra hand weapons or throwing stars (2-3 units) and convert the rest of the nightrunners into tunnelers. |

That's an excellent list. The movement phase will be your bread and butter. --Cap |

Definitely big enough to be a horde in my book. I think you might have some problems winning battles with this list, though. There are so many big blocks that it is going to be very difficult to actually get them all into the mix on a board with a reasonable amount of terrain. I played a 2k battle this week with 1 block PM, 3 blocks of clanrats, and 2 blocks of slaves and I had some trouble (PM had to go though the woods and this caused some problems!). You have no magic defense. Nothing is hard hitting besides the warlord. The warlords equiptment doesn't make the most sense (why a magic sheild and a GW?) Give him a weeping blade or something. Remember, an oppoent doesn't have to eliminate all of your units to win. A flexible army with shooting, cav, and magic could concentrate fire and charges on a a few of the units and elimitate them--what would you be able to do in response? I would keep the basic idea but remove 2 units of slaves, 2 unit of clanrats, and add some magic and/or a few heroes to lead the units and give them some punch. I personally love a plague priest with a flail! |

I like your list, the horde style work well. But i made a few change, add two warplock or one with scroll, you have no magic defense at all. Do not mistakes in your deploy phase, a lot of unit is hard to move and have all to do something without "in the legs" of the others. Give your warlord a weeping blade and a warpstone amulet (save 4+), in the stormvermins with the standart bearer. Slaves unit work well in 24 or 25 they panic in the last turns and they do their job, redirect charge and shield your army. Have some Jezzails or pwt against knight or other nasty surprise. Hope it help. |

The whole point of having a horde is exactly in this list. Having this many units means symbiont will choose who gets into combat and who doesn't, and how he gets into combat (flank/rear charges). With so many units he can afford to loose some to magic and what shooting breaks through the storm banner. An army like this is dedicated solely to the movement phase and tactics (the basic essence of Warhammer), this army is going to out number others 2, 3, or even 4 to 1. If he 'wastes' points on magic or shooting this army could no longer be considered a 'pure horde army'. I say keep it like it is. --Cap |
