Hello everyone,
I am heading for a nice weekend with some old friends, good food, good beer and a high focus on WHFB. I have been trying to put together a list that will work decently against any of the above opposition, as if heading for a tournament. I will give you the list below and also what else I have that I can swap things for. Thankful for suggestions, comments and the like.
Characters
Arch Lector, great weapon, AoMI, VHS 186
Wizard lev, 2, rod of power 130
Warrior priest, barded warhorse, heavy armour, hammer of might, enchanted shield 138
Captain, pegasus, full plate, shield, lance, doomfire ring 144
Core
19 spearmen, shield, FC + 9 swordsmen det 188
19 swordsmen, FC 139
5 knights, musician 123
17 handgunner, marksman w HLR 161
20 flagellants 200
Special
5 knights, IC, FC 170
6 pistoliers, musician, outrider w repeater pistol 132
1 mortar 75
1 great cannon 100
Rare
Helblaster 110
SUM 1996
What I can play around with with is
2 extra knights
7 swordsmen (can form a 19 unit with FC if the detachment above is removed)
8 free company (so detachment only)
20 greatswords w FC
1 great cannon
almost any combination of character choices (except no war altar, monstrous creatures or mounted wizard)
The idea is to put the WP with the IC knights to have a fast unit with a good punch, the other knights will bait and support. The AL goes with the swordsmen and the wizard goes with the more defensive spearmen. The captasus will just fly around, irritate, march block and help out wherever he can. The great cannon is of course better than the mortar against heavy armies like WoC, but the mortar is priceless against weak units like Skaven. The swordsmen detachment can of course go with the swordsmen unit instead.
Well, that was some of my thoughts. How about you sharing yours?
