1000pts - stirland armoured might

(1/1)

Nikali:
Hi all

Slowly painting up my starter army. Not very keen on the state troops models and I like the greatswords + knights models, so I building up towards a heavily armoured force. I like the Stirland colours and I know lots of expensive plate mail isn't necessarily in keeping but I have some fluff in mind.

Might as well treat as all comers, quite fancy trying a tournament but will get some practise in first.

So starter lists looks like this:

Warrior Priest, Arm of Met Iron, 2nd Hand weapon: 117
(in with the greatswords)

Battle wizard: 65
(bunkers in handgunners)

10 Handgunners, marksmen: 100

8 IC Knights, full command: 230

24 Greatswords, full command: 294
+
12 Halberdiers detachment: 72

Great cannon: 120

Total 998

What do you think?

Planning to work up towards a GS horde of 40+ with halberd detachments and 15 IC knights. Plus Demi-Gryphs, Helblaster, Archers speed bumps and a pegi captain. A steam tank would fit the armoured might theme (not really stirland), but I don't really like the model that much.

All the best

Nick

A little pricey but at least he can stand up to some punishment.

Battle wizard: 65
Lore of Fire is a solid choice for a Lvl 1 since its signature spell is so good.

10 Handgunners, marksmen: 100
I assume that the marksmen is to take challenges for the Wizard. If this is the case then I wouldn't bother. Most things that get the charge on this unit will slaughter it enough that challenges aren't the big issue.

8 IC Knights, full command: 230
Do these guys have lances? I'd recommend them at this point value since the shield helps them stay alive.

24 Greatswords, full command: 294
+
12 Halberdiers detachment: 72
Solid investment as a mainstay combat unit.

Great cannon: 120
Don't leave the province without it.

Total 998

Thanks for the feedback.

I think the price is worth it, more about keeping another round or two of hatred + prayer buffs on greatswords than anything.

Not really thought about lore,  but I quite fancy painting a fire wizard so no arguement there!

Marksmen is mainly because I have 10 spare points! Gleaming penant for the IC knights might be more useful

Yes knights have lances

Thanks

Nick
