What would you prefer to take?

Bell + Abomb + Lots of Shooting (and lots of slaves)

Or

Bell + Furnace + Abomb + Little to no shooting at all (and lots of slaves) ?

If you would take something different, please, your advice will be highly appreciated, since I'm about to play in a very cheesy environment.

2 Abombs anyone? I guess I'd love too but they're very expensive.

Any help, please?

Thank you!!

If you're playing in a cheesy enviroment, take 2 Hell Pits, a Grey Seer with the Dreaded 13th spell (Power scroll) and fill the rest with Clanrat anvils and Slaves (supported by a Chieftain bsb of course).
This is one of the nastiest combinations we can get (in my opnion), so don't use it friendly games. Your troops are unlikely to run in the first 2 or even 3 rounds of combat, and you can destroy your opponent with just the Abominations.

I love using Furnace + Abomb and an insane amount for Slaves :)

I recently built this list but haven't used it yet:

Warlord, shield, litter, warpstone armour, GIant blade, Seed of rebirth
BSB, shield, Shroud of dripping death
Lvl 2 priest on Furnace, flail, dispel scroll
Lvl 1 Warlock engineer, warp energy condenser, Doomrocket

3x30 clanrats, spears & shields, Full command
Doomflayer
2xPoison Wind Mortars

9 Gutter Runners, Poison, slings
30 Monks, Full command, Plague Banner

Warp Lightning Cannon
Hell Pit Abomination

... and you still have 44 points to add to this!

I don't rate the Bell as much in this edition. It just hasn't worked for me, but I'll be getting the much cooler new model soon, so my mind may change then :)

But this list has 3 real heavy hitters - the ABomb, the furnace unit, especially with the lethal plague banner and the warlord's unit (which also has the BSB and the Doomflayer)

The Gutter runners are Artillery killers, VERY effective with poisoned slings.

Magic is no push over with the two casters, and shooting is pretty good with 2xPWMs, WLC & Doomrocket, and those LETHAL poisonous slings.

I was going for a 2200 list but snow prevented the trip! I had to reduce the list by 2 clanrats to make the points, but put them back in here - with the 44 points free you could give the priest another item, get a few more clanrats or maybe another gutter runner. But what I'd probably do is get a unit of slaves

A bell, a powerscroll, a BSB, 10 SV with stormbanner, 2 HPAs, a big bell unit and tons of slaves.

My standard 2250 list always has Abomb, Doomwheel, cannon, 3 blocks of 50 slaves w/shields and two or three units of 5 gutter runners with poison slings.

Then I decide on whether I want to run my furnace monks, storm vermin, how many clanrats, weapon teams, warlocks, etc.

Thank you for all your answers.


I played today this 2250 tournament and I ended winning the best general award.
My list was cheesy, I reckon, but so were the others... It was a very cheesy environment. Despite that, the majority of players were nice guys. My list was:

Grey Seer, Bell, Power Scroll, Skalm
BSB, Dragonhelm, Shield
2 WE with Brass Orb and Doom Rocket
Around 150 Slaves (3 units)
40 Clanrats, FC, Shields (Bell)
10 Stormvermin, Banner, Storm Banner (awesome performance)
40 Plague Monks, FC, Plague Banner
8 Gutter Runners, Slings and Poison
2 x HPA

I never played before the Storm Banner and it really is amazing.
I really didn't miss my Plague Furnace at all... Maybe at 2500 points could be a nice addition. That, or more Gutter Runners which are amazingly good.

Thank you for your help!
Be blessed by the Horned Rat.
