Back to retirement!

Are we to assume the first entry is a Grey Seer? :P

Looks good, but not really a horde. Id drop a Doomwheel (I know, thats herecy coming from me!) as their randomness is a bit extreme in 7th ed, so it might be worth taking something more reliable. Definately keep 1 though, as they are great fun!!

4 Dispel scrolls are a bit much. 2 is generally seen as enough in 2k games, especially if you have alot of DD as well...

Id also re-adjust the Censor numbers. 2-3 units of 6-8 sounds reasonable, as it gives some room for casualties aswell...

The reason for the extra doom wheel was so that I have double the chance of killing that bloodthirster dragon. I will have to see how it works out.

I think a WLC is much more reliable at killing a BT or dragon than a doomwheel. And it's cheaper.

Well each doomwheel both shoots three times as many shots as the cannon and auto-hits. Plus iss harder to kill and useful for other things.

Not to mention that with Stormbanner you can pin the Dragon or Thirster in a smaller area on the table for a turn or two in order to run it down with the Doomwheels while the cannon not only requires decent guess-range skills but also fails to be effective almost half the time either misfiring or firing at S2.

how about you pin flyers the entire game, the book never says that you cannot reactivate the stormbanner after the effects have ended. Lets just assume it will be FAQ'd very shortly though.

Or, ideally, you start impact hitting that thing with all you got.
I am not going to use a WLC ever again (Maybe... sometime), since every game it randomly blows up! Every game!

Not a typo mate. I liked the name Blitz inadvertantly gave him.

As it regards this list, you might as well plan to play it one-use (and this isn't the place to argue it anyway). The point I was making was that it's hard for me to argue that a WLC is more reliable at dragon-killing than a Doomwheel given the ability to pin the dragon through magic or the banner.
