1500 - No Character tourny

[Dzer0]

I am trying to create a list for a local tournament and would like some advice for my general core.

Tournament Rules
1500 points
No Special Characters

What do you guys think about this as the general direction for my list?
Without worrying about special items, unit upgrades, etc

Heroes: BSB/BB (D Princes), L2 Mage (P Guard)
Special: 4 rank PG, maybe 5 – 7 DP
Core: 10 Archers, 10 Spears
Rare: 2 RBT

This puts me in the neighborhood of around 1100 points before upgrades but represents my first draft and core of the list. I may end up stacking the spears and adding the combat banner or throwing in another special unit. I would like to kit the Mage out for offensive magic rather than just a scroll caddy but I am still kicking the slot around.

First off, i'd change the title, no characters is not the same as no special characters.

The list idea is a bit odd, why go for a single level 2, i'd go for 2 level 2's instead of the BB bsb.

[dabber]

The title is extremely deceptive. No special characters is nearly a standard restriction. No characters is a very interesting idea.

Little reason to take a unit of 10 spears. Min core is 1, so stick with just the archer unit. Spend the points elsewhere.

A single level 2 is the worst magic phase you can get. Costs a bunch of points, yet doesn't provide much either offense or defense. Either get a second level 2 and some nice items to improve you magic, or stick with no magic, or a scroll caddy.

I like 15 LSGs, they're flexible enough to be used in a number of ways.

I like the idea of the Seaguard for this list. Versatility could be good as well as getting you some points for a second mage and the banner of sorcery on the PG maybe. I like having the BSB/BB Noble as they will allow you to out fight what you aren't magicking.

okey... since ur list is already swinging this way i figured i'd give u a good idea of what to do.

core: 10 archers
hero: Noble BSB-Banner of the world dragon, heavy armor, great weapon
Noble: blade of seagold, enchanted shield, heavy armor (general)
noble: the white sword, gem of courage, heavy armor
rare: bolt thrower
rare: great eagle
SPECIAL: 46 White lions, music, standard(standard of balance), champion(amulet of light)

put all heroes in whiet lionsunit and marchblock/redirect with eagle and shoot them down with archers and boltthrower.

move in a big square with white lions, if they charge you in the flank you will most probably hold considering your stubborn with reroll and gem of courage if you fail your first leadership. after you have passed the leadership, you move the heroes in your movingphase to the battle and kick his ass.

you will have a unit of 49 marching as a single block over the field killing everything. he will have to kill 23 of them in order to get any points from them at all. 3+ armorsave vs shooting, immune to psychology, people loose hatred/frenzy, stubborn with reroll, immune to magic, str 6 attacks with ASF, magic attacks and simply awesome. i suggest going 7x7x7x7x7x7x7 that way you will have a big nice block. ^_^

If you end up in the exact middle by turn 6, you might be able to contest all four table quarters.

White Sword plus loec is required in that list :p .
