Hi, long time lurker here.
Quite recently friend of mine got hit by the dreaded warhammer bug and is looking to return to the hobby. He then deemed necessary to challenge me to a game. I am now showing symptoms for warhammer bug as well. However, my empire was basically done during 7th edition and the collection is in need of proper modernization to face his high elves.
I am looking to go for 2400-2500 points. The currently presented list is what I basically have, excluding undesirable/bad units, such as Griffon, pistoliers and more flagellants. These undesirable units will probably be used, until they can be replaced with something more suitable.
HEROES
Wizard lord 225
- 4th level, fire, dispel scroll
Warrior priest 85
- barded warhorse, shield, heavy armor
CORE
Crossbowmen (10) 135
- musician
- archer (5)
Crossbowmen (10) 135
- musician
- archer (5)
Knights, inner circle (11) 305
- lance, musician, champion, standard bearer
SPECIAL
Flagellants (12) 144
Flagellants (12) 144
Flagellants (12) 144
Great cannon 120
Great Cannon 120
RARE
Helblaster volley gun 120
Total: 1677
I am thinking the list needs two 'big' units. I find steam tank, crazy wagons and chicken riders aesthetically unpleasing, so I will not be adding them. So choices would be some of core infantry, knights and/or greatswords. They however need character support to be able to bunch above their weight. Thus, something like warrior priests, arch lector (altar possibly) and BSB are all heroes I am thinking about to help out these units. Anyhow, any thoughts in how to transfer this collection from 7th to 8th?
