jobume Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Hey, I'm preparing for an upcoming local tournament (my first AoS-tournament and my second warhammer tournament) using the SCGT comp pack, but with legacy scrolls allowed. I would love to get some feedback on my lists. Basically I wan't to use my Free people army, but with some added punch from the Stormcasts. LIST # 1 HEROES Empire General (4) - Stately War Banner Celestial Hurricanum With Celestial Wizard (18) King Louen Leoncoeur (20) Knight Vexillor (8) - Pennant of the Stormbringer UNITS Empire State Troops x 30 (12) - Shield & Sword Empire Crossbowmen x 30 (18) Paladin Retributors x 10 (20) WOUNDS: 121 TOTAL POINTS: 100 / 150 King Louen provides battle shock immunity to the state troops, making them good objective grabbers. The crossbowmen, backed by the generals "Hold the line"-ability and the hurricanum, will be firing 60 shots hitting on 2's and wounding on 3's, with one third of the wounds resolved at rend -1. Retributors and Vexillor of course provide a heavy hammer. LIST # 2 HEROES Empire General (4) - Stately War Banner Celestial Hurricanum With Celestial Wizard (18) Empire Master Engineer (4) - Pistol King Louen Leoncoeur (20) Celestant-Prime (16) UNITS Empire State Troops x 30 (12) - Shield & Sword Empire Handgunners x 20 (12) WAR MACHINES Empire Cannon (13) WOUNDS: 97 TOTAL POINTS: 99 / 150 Very similar to #1 but with the Retributor hammer traded for a Celestant Prime, and the crossbowmen switched to handgunners. Fewer wounds, and fewer non-hero scoring units, but with a cannon. --- Any thoughts and comments would be much appreciated. Cheers, Job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom W Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 List 1. State troops will benefit greatly from being immune to battle shock, and the 'hold the line' ability buffing them nicely. (although this can make them feel static/defensive) The swordsmen are surprisingly survivable too, if you can get them into some cover, or give them a mystic shield. I have been thinking along the same lines, a unit of retributors to give the army some teeth in close combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobume Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Had my first game today using List # 1. It did not go well. Here is a batrep: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Conti Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I would ditch the Stormcast and focus on your Free People synergies. Hold the Line can go on your Empire Cannon, plus Hurricanum buff = 2+/2+ - super powerful shooting right there. Plus the gunners or crossbows. I would also recommend some cavalry in here. Even Empire Knights can help your cause. The fast movement and charge buffs should do well for you. It will also let you sit back and shoot more.

Only the crew have this keyword, not the Cannon which is the part that has the attack profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnelian Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I can't wait for a Free Peoples models release. Played with them last night and it was really cool to have humans on the table narratively! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
