2000 pts HE vs Tomb Kings
Posted: Tue Jul 02, 2019 8:30 am
Somewhere last week I had my first WH battle in a long while. To get back into it and because we knew we would be short on time (we ended up playing only 3 turns), my friend and I decided to go for a 2000pts battle.
I decided to go for a more unusual built (for me at least) and bring a list with Eltharion on Stormwing in it:
Lords:
Eltharion on Stormwing; 490
Death
Heros:
BSB; 170
Barded steed, dragon armour, charmed shield, ogre blade
Mage; 145
Lvl 2, High, scroll
Core:
10 Silver helms; 240
Shields, musician
17 Archers; 180
musician
5 reavers; 80
Special:
10 White lions; 140
musician
16 PG; 315
fc, armour piercing banner
Rare:
frostheart; 240
The list has 3 fast elements, 2 of them thunderstomping, 2 solid blocks and some shooting. Which makes it sort of similar to some other lists I've run, but it's lacking the more "all in" approach of a dragon list. Eltharion makes it a much more combined arms list. I decided to give him Death, since the short range is not much issue for a flyer and spirit leech can be very nasty with his LD 10. The other lore I considered for him was Beast. +1 S and +1T has a lot of utility for this list and can take any of the blocks from pretty decent to very nasty.
Any idea's on the list?
I faced a TK list. Which was something like (apologies for the lack of details here):
Settra
Ramhotep the Visionary
BSB
lvl2 Mage
55-ish Skeletons
5 Skeleton Horse Archers
10 Skeleton Horsemen
20 Tomb Guard
Khermrian Warsphinx (with breathweapon upgrade)
3 Necropolis Knights
Rod
