2250 list Balanced?
« on: April 14, 2009, 04:09:10 AM »
Greetings  all. Local game store is starting a league play at 2250 points and I was thinking of trying the following list.

25 Swordsmen @ 220 Pts
   Musician Mus; Standard Bearer Std; Duellist; Hand Weapon; Light Armour; Shield
 9 [Det] Halberdiers @ [45] Pts
      Hand Weapon; Halberd; Light Armour

5 Knightly Orders @ 115 Pts
   Barding; Warhorse; Hand Weapon; Lance & Shield; Full Plate Armor

900 for Core

1 Great Cannon @ 100 Pts
   
1 Great Cannon @ 100 Pts
 
4 Outriders @ 126 Pts
   Hand Weapon; Repeater;  Warhorse; Handgun; Light Armour; Fast Cavalry
   Outrider Champion;  Warhorse;  Hand Weapon; Hochland Long Rifle; Light Armour
   
4 Outriders @ 126 Pts
   Hand Weapon; Repeater;  Warhorse; Handgun; Light Armour; Fast Cavalry
   Outrider Champion;  Warhorse;  Hand Weapon; Hochland Long Rifle; Light Armour
452 for Special
 
1 Helstorm Rocket Battery @ 115 Pts
   
1 Helstorm Rocket Battery @ 115 Pts
230 for Rare
 
Total Roster Cost: 2247
 
power dice 8
dispel dice 7

Deployment:
G-Cannon, Knights, Hel Rockets, Outriders, Knights, Halb(det), Swordsmen, AL on Altar, Swordsmen, Halb(det), Knights, Outriders, Hel Rockets, Knights, G-Cannon.

The Al on Altar and the two halb(det) would start at the rear of the swordsmen units. The whole line would be few inches back from the furthest deployment line.
Trying to maximize time for shooting. Knights should be close enough to support each other as well as line on their respective flanks. The two swordsmen units
along with the Al on Altar should move to  counter any massing on one flank.

Have others played a simular list? If so was it challenging to win with? Or near impossible to win with?
Remember, a handgunner aims for the heart and a thunderer aims for the codpiece!

First off, no need to list default equipment such as hand weapons or horses for your knights as that greatly reduces the readability of the army list.

Ok, a fun combination w/ your mage w/ the Speculum would be the sword of striking as now you will hit on a 2+! 


The list looks pretty good and direct.

It reminds me a bit of Bies's lists w/ the war altar, mages and knights. http://www.warhammer-empire.com/theforum/index.php?topic=28193.0

No double Stanks though!  :wink:
Is 595 points good enough for your Huntsmen?
