Re: One single bolt, two single bolts, three single bolts...
I ain't complete sure about swedish comp as I don't play them, so if some choice is made specifically comp rules in mind forgive me

As your list is going to be little evasive I would add shadow warriors for the alith anar. they can do nice dance accross the battle field and with extra protection Alith Anar seems more viable choice to be fielded as scout behind enemy lines for nice flanking bolt shots
I would leave command from such small unit. having 2 extra bodies and musician (well banner for blood and glory prolly)ArhangelusM wrote:13 Archers
Longbow; Standard; Musician; Hawkeye
Due my personal usage of reavers I tend to sacrifice them pretty much everytime, so I don't see much point placing musicians to them (and standard even for blood and glory scene) If you are using notorious double flee tactic with them then you probably gain some advantage from musician.ArhangelusM wrote:5 Ellyrian Reavers

I am under impression that generally drakemasters isn't allowed to carry star lance due the wording. Secondly I think that is rather expensive item for W1 model, making it near the cost of regular noble. Allthough 3 no armor saves allowed str 7 strikes is always appealingArhangelusM wrote:5 Dragon Princes of Caledor

Re: One single bolt, two single bolts, three single bolts...
More than 13 archers is more comp, so banner and stuff is to fill the core and bring an extra banner for scenarios.ArhangelusM wrote:

Well, reavers in my games range from cannon fodder and redirectors to small cc units, so the banner has shown itself useful, and also fills the core points without raising body count which raises comp and/or gives uneven number for core points.ArhangelusM wrote:

Raises the comp score and also no points, would have to kick some shooting out and that goes against the whole concept.ArhangelusM wrote:

Well, it has been FAQ-ed, at least in ETC FAQ that Starlance can be used by champ, and yes, it is expansive but gives quite the punch to the unit...and S6 on charge, DP champ is alas only S3...ArhangelusM wrote:

Shadow warriors would be nice, yes, but for them I'd have to kick out a unit of sisters which is not an option, since I am quite pleased with their performance in the list.
All in all, I try to shoot first and ask question later with this list, so low body count on PG and DP is not that big an issue, especially in the SweComp 14-20 environment.

I probably should leave any comment on comps aside

No, no, feel free to comment on anything, I like to have a different point of view on my lists, as it gives me insights on it's weaknesses or overlooked details...

You are mistaken on this part. ETC FAQ states that the Drakemaster cannot carry the star lanceArhangelusM wrote:ArhangelusM wrote:

Re: One single bolt, two single bolts, three single bolts...
I would think that deployment and game style with this list would be evasive and wide spread. BSB wouldn't really help much.

Re: One single bolt, two single bolts, three single bolts...
And after all the fuss...6th place overall...out of 28 people...
Our good friend Giladis ended 10th.
And I am now going to sleep as I have to work tomorow and having just found out that my grandmother has died on saturday and my family decided not to tell me anything before I come back home since the tournament was in another country...
Good night and thanks for the good wishes.
