Griffin lord 3k - not a warmachine in sight...

#1 Post by akielzather »

My regular opponent has made a fun WOC list with a chaos lord in a 3k list

So i was thinking of trying out the Griffin Lord.

Now, we do not use special charaters or etherion would be perfect. What set up would you run and why.

Currently thinking
AOC, vembrance, GW and other trickster shard. 462pts

Other characters would then be
AM with SW - Beasts (bored of life and do not want to play shadow as not a huge fan)

And Mounted BSB - Helm of fortune, GP, GW,DA
Lvl 1 Metal - scroll
characters -

Core -
10 Archers with musican
10 archers with musican
10 archers with Musican
29 SeaGuard - Shields FC gleaming pendent.

Special -
6 DP with Champ
9 Silverhelms FC -
14 SM standard
18 Whitelions Standard, champ - BOS
1 Chariot

Rare
2 Eagles 100

2997.

Core is there to take care of the redirectors and reduce his maruders horde down in numbers. Seaguard will then reform and take the charge.

Whitelions and swordmasters will take care of his warrior blocks. with chariot either speed bump or support charge.

DP and silverhelms for flankage - once his redirectors are out of the way...

Eagles to buy a round or two if set up has been cruel.

Griffin - Not much for him to do but get in there and put the pain in....Poss go hunting if his mage is on a disc...he does like this set up.

At a guess what his list will be like.
Chaos Lord mounted, always strikes first helm, killing blow axe. 1+ as, 3+ward.
2 lvl 2's. - Or 1 lvl 4 shadow.
bsb on foot
19 tzeenth block with hand weapons and shields
18 korne halberders
18 nurgle halberders - with banner of rage
6 chaos knights - mark of tzeench with blasted standard
2-3 units of dogs
1 unit of slannesh maruaders with flails
50 knorne maurders with GW
3 dragon orges - he has done conversions and likes the models
1 warshrine

Now question is do i try this out or go Dragon prince with 2 lvl 2s instead...tried DP and whilst fun wanted to try something a bit different.
