1K army for small tournament

#1 Post by Shandiar »

It's about time for me to clean the dust of my minis and join a small tournament in our gaming club.

I will be facing Chaos Humans, Lizardmen, Beastmen and Dark Elves.

Basically I can bring any setup to the table, only limit is the 1000 points. Here is what I have in mind:

General - Dragon Mage level 2 with Silverwand

Core - 10 Archers

Special - 6 White Lions, 5 Dragon Princes and 1 White Lion Chariot

Rare - 1 RBT

Fastmoving, good shooting and magic, any suggestions are welcome.

Another setup I'm working with:

Noble with gw and reaver bow
Mage level 2 with dispel and seerstaff

10 archers

6 Swordmasters with Bladelord and AoL
6 White Lions
5 Shadow Warriors
1 Tiranoc Chariot

2 RBTs

This is based on a castle formation depending on terrain with Curse of Arrow Attraction and Courage of Aenarion on my mage to max my shooting.

I must have tweaked it well with so few replies ;)

Here is the final list:

Noble with gw and Reaver Bow
Mage level 2 with Seerstaff and Dispel Scroll

10 Archers

6 Swordmasters with Bladelord and Dragonhorn
6 White Lions
5 Swordmasters
5 Shadow Warriors

2 RBT

Still based on Curse of Arrow Attraction to diminish the opposition before my small but hardhitting units will finish them off.

Opponents will be Lizardmen, Beastmen, Chaos Daemons and Dark Elves.

Tournament happens tomorrow, I might include a small update here, comments still appreciated.

Those small elite units can be shot and psych quite easily down. Horn won't save them. I'd combine some of them and give them GoC, lion or balance banner. Also I'd add there chariot or cavalry unit for their support. Consider fury+wand for your mage. When fury is dispelled, you can get through the next spell. You could take the bsb and GoC option for your noble and make the 10 archers shield lsg with warbanner(or ToL wih lion banner). The mage is not necessary needed, get some mage hunters for your defence.
