Looking for advice on an upcoming game

#1 Post by Dawnstrider »

The only thread I could find on tactics against WoC that was not a battle report was in regards to out last codex so I am looking for some advise on what to look out for and what to take again WoC. Im gonna play a 3000 game and would appreciate any advanced warning I could get on what I am likely to see. Also, I am considering putting a handmaiden and my bsb in with my sisters with the Razor standard. I would keep them close enough to the front so the army could benefit from the bsb but behind my mostly cavalry army. This idea takes killing power away from the PG though, so I am not sure if the -3 to AS shooting is worth it or not. Thoughts?

What are you taking? Can you put down your list?

As for WoC I have no idea what you will end up facing. Is it a competitive or fluffy environment? Is there any comp where you play? These things would be helpful to know. The 'standard' WoC netlist is a Daemon Prince with all the toys supported by chariots, an unkillable 1+/3++ RR BSB on daemonic steed and a few other hard hitters like chimera's and so on. Not sure if you'll face this though...

As far as what I'll take goes, I am just coming up with my list now so no hard list yet. That is why I was looking for advise on what a typical non comped WoC list is likely to have. Just a casual game, no restrictions. Since I do not know anything about WoC, I don't know where to start my list building at. It will probably contain the following though:

31 Silverhelms for the core tax broken down in 5 3x2 formations
3 Units of 5 Dragon Princes
4 Bolt Throwers
30 White Lions
30 Phoenix Guard

and about 625 points left over for hard counters. I sadly do not have any reavers or archers but I also have the following in my collection to chose from:

Dragon Mage
Flamespyre Phoenix with or without rider
Anointed of Asuryan
Plenty of Swordmasters
10 Sisters
Plenty of models for any lords or heroes
Korhil and Caradryan. ( I typically use these at the same time with Korhil in the PG and caradryan in the WL)
A few more Dragons with or without riders
Plenty of spearmen too if I wanted to switch out some of my core helms.

I am open to anything. I haven't included any Characters in the list yet so I was going to use them as the direct counters but am willing to change anything. Btw, are the WoC cannons flaming attacks? And is 4 Bolt Throwers overkill?

Thanks for the reply John. I went prepared for that and even though it wasn't exactly that list, being prepared for that BSB you mentioned won me the game.
