Hello fellas,
Got a Middenland Army for a bit of a critique, so please, be gentle
Lord
Grand Master of the White Wolf
full plate, cav hammer, Warhorse, Enchanted Shield, Bane of the Craven
(job is either weak character killing or troop maiming)
Heroes
Lvl 2 Wizard
2x Dispel scroll (your basic caddy - maybe with greatswords or teut guard)
Lvl 2 Wizard
1x Dispel Scroll (as above)
Priest of Ulric
Grt weapon, Heavy armour, Barded Warhorse (just there for a bound spell - post main spells)
Units
8 Knights of the White Wolf – Inner Circle
Full command
Standard of arcane warding (I figured that people would cast alot of magic at Knights)
10 Archers (harrass and die/shooting)
10 Archers (as above)
Special
19 Teutogen Guard (inner circle)
Full command
8 halberdiers (I've put alot in so I would have a viable unit post shooting)
19 Greatswords
full command
banner of middenland
8 swordsman
(I suspect that these fellas are good at taking charges so making them Immune to terror/fear would stop them auto breaking)
5 Hunting Hounds
huntsman upgrade
(the usual pull and flee unit plus they are not affected by woods so would be good to flush out annoying wood elf harrassers)
2* great cannon
99 models
6 power dice
5 dispel
2000pts exactly
Its a blantant hammer and anvil army with some annoying shooting and a decent(ish) amount of magic.
I intend to take light and amber magic so that I can shape the battle field a bit - comet of casandora (should I get it) is great for cutting off a flank since people (around here at least) will avoid it. Amber magic for woods and the oxen stands spell (auto rally one unit) plus they are lower casting lores. Add to this the Priest of Ulric and its a bit more of a magic defense army.
I have one cavalry unit (with characters it goes to 10 strong) who are immune to psychology, have magic resistance of 2 and can never be fled away from.
I am fairly open to changes regarding the cannons. I do like the idea of 2 of them since I can pretty much always shoot at annoying chariots/knights etc but am willing to drop one for Handgunners or Wolfkin.
Although its for a local tournament (Im not expecting to win, realistically) but enjoy the Painting (which I could win)
Any ideas fellas?
Ta,
Beef
