Hi all,
Off to my first one-day event soon. Haven't played much so just going for fun really. Expecting Orcs and Goblins, Empire, High Elves, Vampire Counts, Brettonnians, maybe Chaos...
ARMY RESTRICTIONS
As described on page 278 of the Warhammer: the Old World rulebook, the number of
some of the available units is restricted. In this event, there are additional
limits that apply to the composition list you are using. This encourages players to create
tactically diverse armies, rather than relying too heavily upon a single use of a certain type of character.
• You may not spend more than 25% of your army’s total value on a single character.
• Your army may include any number of level 1 and 2 wizards (within the above
restrictions)
But may only include: 0-1 Level 3 Wizard per 1000 points
So here's the list.
The rough plan is to anchor with the block of missile troops in a 10x3 on a hill if there is one, or in a brick if there's any Large Targets around to shoot at (or if the enemy are bunkered up on a hill). Ulric Priest gives them MR1, and tries for MW(2) if there's any gribblies to shoot up. Free company act as redirectors/chaff or maybe even support by lobbing bottles.
Meanwhile the IC Knights marching column/drilled up the board and then smack into something, possibly supported by the General. Witch Hunter can either join in, go hunting chaff/war machines, or hunt down lone wizards.
