I get the feeling you guys dont actually think this is a very good list? How would you guys rewrite it?

Thanks for the headsup scarecrow, i guess i was kind of assuming theyd all go in the same bunker.

It is a good list but 'Ard Boyz is a seriously hard tournament. It is kind of hard to make the best list possible and many of us don't know exactly what to use in these circumstances living far from the US.

it is a very good list however as ard boyz is uncomped you will need a rocksolid magic defense which 2 grey seers isnt. units of 40 (and sometimes 50) slaves will get ploughed through by alot of hammers you might see and any weakness in your list will be exploited by WAAC tactics. the problem is that to beat alot of the lists you will face you need to tailor your list but everything is different.

Still not convinced. Too many slaves not enough bunkers.

He's not US either, it's for his Asian regional equivalent.

I haven't played at this level well enough to be able to suggest anything constructive.

TRADE
I'm looking for Dark Eldar to convert into DE. Also looking for bretonnia lances and halberds. If anyone has any they would be interested in trading PM me and we can work something out.


"And, most vivid of all, there was the dramatic epic of the rats––the scampering army of obscene vermin which had burst forth from the castle three months after the tragedy that doomed it to desertion––the lean, filthy, ravenous army which had swept all before it and devoured fowl, cats, dogs, hogs, sheep and even two hapless human beings before its fury was spent. Around that unforgettable rodent army a whole separate cycle of myths revolves, for it scattered among the village homes and brought curses and horrors in its train."

not that i have any experience at ard boyz but that is more like what i was thinking.

i think shields on the slaves and more monks would help but the points dont allow :angry: maybe if you drop the WFT it might work

Mortars are more tactical than WFT. Also helps to get through 1+ saves

These are all pretty interesting but I am totally astounded that you guys dont take the brass orb on a suicide engineer. The potential to blow up Fateweaver or a stonehorn or a couple of mournfangs or kholek suneater or a bunch of trolls etc etc, is just incredible. I think its probably the most cheesy thing in my whole army in terms of points outlay versus damage potential...

I think I've pretty much decided against plague monks and furnaces. My army has already got strength 3 attacks out the whazoo and the furnace... well frankly I don't care if it is toughness 6, I just don't see it surviving long enough.

I was toying with blowing some of the points on weapons teams since high armour saves are a bit tough for me.

Ofif high armour saves Are tough that is why you take the furnace although i agree about the orb. I would like one in there but i couldent fit one.

Monks with a furnace are one of the best units we have. I've wiped out about 24 goblins on the charge. Wonderful carnage. Usually the furnace is fine, especially when you have other juicy targets you opponent can shoot at like 2 hellpits and your seer general and BSB. Your loss if you don't want to take one. Having an unbreakable unit is really nice to have around. There is a pretty damn good chance that there's allot of str 3 in the list but can any single unit dish out 25 str 3 attacks by themselves (not including a priest) or 22 str 3 and 4 str 6 with a priest. My point is that str 3 attacks don't mean much unless there's a quarter of a hundred coming from one unit.
