AoS Incoming tournament 2000 pts

[Killer Angel]

In a couple of weeks I'm going to play a tournament at 2000 pts.
Leaving aside that I'm still uncertain if i will play Seraphon or not, i'm going to post a couple of ideas. I want to play something fun but effective at the same time.

the basic is: triple engine!!!


LIST 1

SLANN (general, great rememberer)
OLDBLOOD on CARNO (ethereal amulet)
ENGINE of the GODS
ENGINE of the GODS
ENGINE of the GODS
10 SKINKS

Shadowstrike starhost
SK. STARPRIEST
3 RIPPERDACTYLS
10 SKINKS
10 SKINKS

still 100 pts. 2 command pts?

Shadowstrike w. only 3 rippers is almost wasted, but it's still a psycological threat and it's a 7 drops list; plus, i will have a lot of command pts to burn when I'll attack with the Oldblood.


LIST 2

SLANN (general, great rememberer)
OLDBLOOD on CARNO (ethereal amulet)
ASTROLITH BEARER
SK. STARPRIEST
ENGINE of the GODS
ENGINE of the GODS
ENGINE of the GODS
10 SKINKS
10 SKINKS
10 SKINKS
4 SALAMANDERS
4 RAZORDONS
3 HANDLERS
Cronomantic Cogs


This is going to be fun.
I will never decide who goes first in the first round, but who cares? I will place my dinos lastly, when i already know the set-up of my opponent.
Then full summoning with Slann + astrolith + Cogs + triple Engine
And nice shooting with those 2 blocks of sallies / razors (astrolith or teleport), good melee with the buffed Carno and possibly 3d6 MWs by the EotG.



thoughts?

I rather like second list. It will be vulnerable to turn one chargers like Idoneth, Beast of Chaos, and Dok. Your screening will have to be near perfect to stop an Eel bomb, but that is always the case.

I Believe you are only allowed 6 heroes at 2k. So, you might have to drop the Starpriest. Fortunately they are cheap to summon if you find yourself in need. Maybe bring a Balewind Vortex in place of the Starpriest.

Argh. You are of course right.
Yeah, it's not a so big problem.

alternatively, i could simply add 10 skinks. Another screening unit cannot hurt.

OK, if i play Seraphon I'll go for the nd list minus the starpriest (that will be summoned asap)

BUT I'm also thinking to play an Order List. No seraphon at all.

Tell me what do you think of it.



140 Lord ORDINATOR
380 Celestial HURRICANUM w. Battlemage
300 3 x 10 Freeguild HANDGUNNERS
360 20 IRONDRAKES
120 ORGAN GUN
160 CANNON
180 HELSTORM rocket battery
100 COGSMITH
260 STEAM TANK


It seems nasty enough…

 

[LizardWizard]

That looks like a very nice list. Lots of strong shooting.

I think that 4 Razordons are better than 1 cannon. Granted, the Cogsmith won't do much to help the Razordons.

neither the Lord Ordinator…

The only way to use razors in this list, would be to move them alongside the celestial hurricanum (a thing that will already do the Steam Tank, btw)

 

[Killer Angel]

The Order List also has the advantage that i won't need to hire a truck, to transport all the summonable minis i should have with me, playing with a Slann / Astrolith / Cogs / triple Engine...

I also like the second triple-EotG list.
It looks like fun.

Sure, if you get attacked first turn you are toast. But if not it will be hilarious unless you roll terribly bad.
