Greetings,

This is my first army list for 8th edition, I played Warhammer back at the advent of 6th so am familiar with the history/geography of the various races but am completely new to the rules and mechanics of the game. I am still learning the rules so it is possible that I have overlooked selection requirements but as a far as I can tell this is a legal list.

Characters
Spell Weaver
Hail of Doom Arrow
Efreet (Alter Noble)
Light armour, Charmed Shield, Rageth’s Wildfire Blades, Dragonbane Gem, Potion of Foolhardiness

Core
10 Araby Bowmen (Glade Guard)
Musician
10 Araby Bowmen (Glade Guard)
Musician

Special
7 Wardancers
6 Araby Desert Raiders (Wildriders)
Standard, musician, War Banner

Rare
Arabyan Carpet Rider (Eagle)


Comments, criticism and feedback welcome.

Thanks

The spell weaver should be a Vezier?

war dancers like guild assasins or something? (not to sure there)

but sounds like fun to me

Vezier sounds good to me. I will do a bit of research and see if there are any other appropriate synonyms.

As for the wardancers I think assassins would be extremely appropriate.

Cheers

You could have tree kin as geenies or djins!

Definitely treeman as a giant Djinn.

Djinn are definitely on the cards. I am planning Lesser Djinn (Dryads) and Greater Djinn (Treekin). In fact, this is how I intend on modelling them.



No plans from a Treeman just yet. Given the prevalence of cheap flaming attacks and magic missiles I can’t justify the investment in points in the current meta.

Aw cmon, you could use the balewind vortex thing for the lower body
Those Djinn look awesome.

Parade-rainer-uponer here... but can the WE BSB take a shield. If you plan on giving them rathfire blades they can't use it anyway.
I go with gamblers armour and rathfire blades.

If he can take magic armour he can take a magic shield, even if he normally can't take a shield due to book oldness.

He's not a BSB and he has the option of taking magic armour so I think it's OK.

Also, I don't see the point of running a BSB in a WE list. Can't think if a build where the benefits outweigh the points investment

failing a panic check against counter gunline armies, a unit breaking/destroying, probably the only places you'll really come across it. Does come in handy against some spells and effects that require a LD check in order to get out of death/bad things free.

Sorry my bad. I just assumed it was a BSB because yeah they are pretty crucial. Without static combat resolution bonuses like ranks and standards you will often lose a first turn of combat. Further your archers, eagle will need to flee charges a lot of the time.

That said you can play without them as they are hard to kit out.
