I am trying to build a good all round army for tournament use.
Here goes
Elector Count (116pts)
Great Weapon, Armour of Meteoric Iron
Joins Swordsman unit to add a bit of punch
Captain (130pts)
Wymslayer Sword, Full Plate Armour, Shield, Pegasus
War Machine/Lone Wizard/Ethereal/Large Monster/Skirmisher hunter
Captain (110pts)
Sword of Sigismund, Full Plate Armour, Shield
Joins Spearmen unit
Captain (78pts)
Lance, Full Plate Armour, Shield, Barded Warhorse
Joins Knights
24 Swordmen (193pts)
Duellist, Standard Bearer, Musician
d.10 Swordsmen (70pts)
d.10 Free Company (5opts)
This is my main attacking unit with a good attacking detachment and one that can take hits
24 Spearmen (193pts)
Shields, Sergeant, Standard Bearer, Musician
d.5 Handgunners (40pts)
d.5 Handgunners (40pts)
This unit will be used to receive charges with handgunners standing and shooting and captain with Sword of Sigismund reducing (hopefully) number of attacks landing on unit
10 Handgunners (105pts)
Marksman with Hochland Long Rifle
d.5 Crossbowmen (40pts)
d.5 Crossbowmen (40pts)
This unit never fails to annoy people, will be used to shield warmachines and thin down enemy numbers where required
5 Knights of the Inner Circle (195pts)
First Knight, Standard Bearer with War Banner, Musician
Used as a tag team with Pistoliers to hold one flank
5 Huntsmen (50pts)
March blockers and general annoyance
5 Pistoliers (95pts)
Teamed up with Knights to harry flank
2 Greatcannons (200pts)
One on either flank to crossfire and kill chariots/large monsters/ranks of well armoured troops
Mortar (75pts)
Used to thin down enemy ranks, also makes people leave more space between units which makes it easier to get detachment counter charges in
Helblaster Volley Gun (125pts)
Used to deter people from advancing towards my shooty flank
5 Flagellants (55pts)
Used to release fanatics, also hold up fast cavalry units/protect warmacines
2000pts 120men, 4 warmacines+crew
I am aware that i have no magic defence which might knack me up in the magic phase but there is reason as to why i haven't. First of all I don't agree with spending 110pts on a wizard that is never likely to cast a spell, it is not a very good defence against an army with more than one wizard and i could better spend the points on something which is likely to bring VPs (Spearmen Captain). I don't think it is possible to have background to an army containing a robed guy who wonders around the battlefield while everybody else is tooled up ready for war, I leave my preachers and robed motley crew with the caravan train away from the battlefield!
I also have no BSB, personally i think they are over rated. I am quite likely to run away once or twice during a battle after all i am human!
People might think all my war machines are quite cheesy. I don't. It is my equaliser like archers are to Wood Elves, blackpowder is to Dwarves and magic users are to Tomb King armies.Knight unit is purposely kept small, People get quite concerned when you throw 10+ knights at them where as a group of 6 doesn't get as much attention. Used as a tag team with Pistoliers they will still walk straight through most units.
Probably not your usual list but let me know what you think
Thanks
