Topic: Steg's Armylists (2.5k & 3k list settling for a fixed army to be painted)

[Sixplus]

Hey, I like the look of the list and unit choices. Though I do question your choice of kit for your arch lector and wonder if the alter is necessary? Your lector should really stay out of combat, unlike last editions war alter, this one is very squishy and so is the lector himself. He has the sword of antiheroes which suggests you want him to charge enemy character buses? Its probably not the best idea to do this though as he only has a 2+AS, 5+ ward, and even though he has -1 to hit from the cloak, he only has WS4, so every other character in the game will still hit him on 4's. I feel he is better suited as a buff wagon kitted purely for defence and kept cheap with only a charmed shield,  2++ agaisnt flaming (for skull cannons, dwarf flaming cannons, flaming spells), and a standard 4+ ward if you really want it (though I wouldn't). This build he weighs in at 265pts, almost 100pts cheaper. Unless your running a light council I would leave the war alter at home, for those 350+pts you could get a WP for every unit anyway. Unless you have a specific use for him that I have completely missed? Like I said, I think the rest of the list is great, just unsure on the lector, and what you plan on using him for. Let me know what you think.

Tnx, for your comments, it certainly is something to think about. Looking at past battles I use him as a buff wagon, but use him also for support charges if my combat block are going to have it though against character heavy units thinking about Vampire for example.

So might be an option to drop the War Altar and put my AL on foot and mount my WP to join my Knight unit? Any extra ideas on this or to add on it?

So how is this for a solution in the character department, leaving the rest untouched (and keeping the upgrades for the 3k list as mentioned)
