2000 Pnt Empire Army Upcoming Tournament
« on: January 07, 2013, 10:18:01 PM »
Hello Everyone! Long time reader first time poster. I have an upcoming 2000 point tournament at my LGS and thought I'd post a list I'm currently working on to get some input and possible advice! I'm not sure where to put both wizards (light wizard in archers I'm pretty sure), as well as how effective you think the 2 wizards approach could be, I'm taking the beast wizard solely for wildform. Opponents I can expect at this tournament are Orcs n Gobbos, Beastmen, High Elves, Deamons, Tomb Kings, Dwarves, as well as other Empire

Lords

Lvl 4 Light Wizard - 200

Heroes

Lvl 1 Beasts Wizard - Dispel Scroll - 90

Capt of the Empire - BSB, Full Plate, Enchanted Shield, Dawnstone - 121

Warrior Priest - Talisman of Preservation, Heavy Armour, Shield -99

Witchhunter- Brace of Pistols - 55

Master Engineer - 65

Core

x48 Halberdiers (Full Command) - Priest and BSB go here - 318

x10 Archers - 70

x10 Inner Circle Knights - Full Command -Great Weps- Steel Standard -315

Special

x3 Demigrpyh Knights- Banner of Eternal Flame, musician- 204

x5 Pistoliers - 90

Great Cannon-120

Rare

Volley Gun -120

Hurricanum- 130

Total is 1997 points currently

(I hope my format is understandable and proper, all suggestions welcome!)

Ok here is some thoughts.
1 you will end up with like 4 heroes in one unit. A bit overkill.  2 i would not use ICK with GW that is for normal kniggits.  :ph34r:
Changes i would make ditch the WH. You have'nt Said it but Im guessing the WP is general. Mount him get better save and no rubber lances. I would not do a beast mage instead a heavens mage and bump him to a lvl 2. Why there re-roll 1 or 6 spells is awsome becourse of there bubble casting. But this is just me. Good luck. Plz post and tell us how it went.   :biggriin:

Played a practice game with the orc player and a few things that happened:

Demichickens got doom diver'd first turn  :icon_frown:

Light wizard miscasted first turn on 2 dice - got sucked into the abyss  :icon_frown:

Halberd horde w/ hurricanum support took a double charge from black orcs and boar riders and won!  :icon_smile:

volley gun and cannon did what they do

Knights were meh with GW (Von Leerkopf I agree lances are the way to go)

Result: Draw called due to time constraints


So some changes: dropping the WH, giving knights lances

Still considering: Adding a demigrph knight, heavens or beasts mage (lvl 2 doesn't guarantee i'll get the spells i need but worth a playthrough anyways), putting WP in halberds or knights (halberds are more of the beatstick while knights are mostly to flank)

You should give the WP the AoMI and a GW/AHW, if you ask me. :)

I agree with theo's suggestion - the AoMI + GW is a classic setup for a Warrior Priest or Arch Lector. I worry about your Leadership value with the list as written - I'd dump the Witch Hunter and make the Warrior Priest an Arch Lector (and consider the Dawnstone, if you can afford it).
