Castle Assault is done and dusted had a great weekend overall I'm buggered as hell about to hit the sack but I've posted up a revised list and I feel that its much more refined with a few slight changes/tweaks and additions such as the scorp and a small unit of warriors to be used as a bunker or warmachine protector

2 screaming skulls a hierotitan AND a casket.

That's a bit stinky, even for me a daemon player haha.

You love it Nick

It looks alot like the list I will probably take to moab, altough I have been thinking about swapping the hierotitan for a second unit of knights.

Honestly guys its like Stanky never left.

But seriously it looks quite nasty, I am surprised at the lack of a Prince or King though. Or do all the cool kids say that their crap and better just to load up on toys.

Oh and maybe you had nothing better to spend the points on but ruby ring of ruin? between 2 wizards and the Casket your going to have more than enough stuff to use your power dice on.

Al

Lol so TK's are the new cheese or something

No Firey Roar for Buffy goodness?

Lol whoops forgot about that oh well list is already submitted lol

Hahahahah awesome Matt

Hahahahah awesome Matt

Well, Matt. I have nothing in my list which can kill a Sphinx....except.....wait for it.....


MINDRAZOR

Matt lemme know if you want a game on thursday arvo against my woc.

My sphinxes got mindrazored 7 times at the ETC. Bloody stupid mindrazor. grumble. grumble. grumble.


You could also drop them down a pit Theo.

I could try.....but only my L2 has Shadow because I figured if I got 6 dice, then my general could exploderise, and I hear that's a bad thing....your army crumbles or some such. Never happened to me as a Dwarf so I'm not sure, but one hears rumours.

At this stage I think this is pretty close to the optimised TK list, probably the only thing missing is a second unit of necro knights, however with a unit of 5 that might not be needed, they will be tough to take down.

thought you might have posted some results too!

Thoughts behind the changes Matt?

why 12 Skeleton Warriors? Wouldn't 5 light horse be better (though 22 more points)

Why reduce the knights from 5-3 - and not have then buried?

Actually curious to hear about your thoughts on the strengths/weaknesses over the weekend. Noticed you included a scorpion - need WM hunters?

I've put the warriors in there as a unit that can stay around and protect the skull pults/casket its nice and cheap an extra deployment as I found that the horse archers were kinda pointless the one and only time was when they got Trebles hell cannon to chase after them due to a failed rampage test every other game they were quite useless and free points for a smart opponent, the warrior unit would stay behind the archers and be more of a fallback bunker for my mages that most people would initially ignore due to it being behind my archers and a fairly small sized unit and yet close enough to the warmachines so that i can threaten any potential wm hunters.

the knights I would love to have buried for sure now that they are smaller but I dont know what I would drop in exchange for the 25pts i would need, I mean I could drop the banner/std bearer off the chariots in order to do it as im above the core by a fair bit so its one option but I want to test out having those chariots really threatening a flank by moving 18" in a turn potentially dont get me wrong though i really want to have the knights come from below also.

The scorpian I really did miss from that one game we had rowan back at theos place it was just so versitile and would of made up for the lack of warmachine hunters for sure as the carrion were never as good in that role, I may even drop the carrion for a 2nd scorp but will see after a few more games gonna ask Roy if i can maybe use em for moab if he's willing lol or if your willing to loan yours Rowan either way....

I'll post up more thoughts ideas later tonight once I've had a better think about it
