heromaster Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hey guys was just wondering if i could get some help with my 1k mixed order list? Dragonlord Anointed on frostheart phoenix loremaster 10x skinks 10x skinks 5x doomfire warlocks Any advice or constructive criticism would be appreciated, thanks!

Double Misfire Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Looks like a solid list. Personally I'd consider swapping the Doomfire Warlocks out for 10 more skinks and a 100 point wizard (possibly a Jade Battlemage to heal wounds on the big beasties), as you'll be hard pressed to control objectives with so few models, and will only have to lose both the skink units in your current list to forefit a major victory in Knife to the Heart. A shield and lance are probably your best armament for the Dragonlord, with Quicksliver Potion and Reckless as a solid command trait/artefact combo to ensure both monsters get the charge and you can fight with both of them before the enemy's able to strike back.

heromaster Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Thanks for the quick response! Yes i was thinking of the same artefact/command trait combo. I was a little worried about the list been a little low on model count, especially when my main opponent plays DoT mortal wound spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heromaster Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Another idea would be Anointed on frostheart phoenix Anointed on frostheart phoenix Loremaster Jade battlemage 10 skinks 10 skinks 5 judicators Think this list would be better or will it miss the smashing power of a dragonlord?

I think you're definitely better off with the Dragonlord, but need more bodies (skinks) for matched play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCharisma Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 How do you want to play with your army? I could make recommendations but I don’t know what you like and how you play the game. FYI- with the battlemage, you don’t need to select the spell until the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally id like the skinks to be objective grabbers while the dragonlord and Phoenix try and remove a key unit per round. The casters would be there to try and buff the aelven heroes. My main opponent is DoT so my thoughts on the 2 phoenixes was to have 2 big scary monsters that could handle the disgusting mortal wound output coming from all the bolt of changes getting thrown about whenever he just takes a 6 from his fate dice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below is an extract from the latest FAQ regarding it; Page 74 – Battle Traits, Masters of Destiny Change the Damage roll bullet point to: ‘• Damage roll (e.g. any roll that determines a Damage characteristic, but not any roll that determines the number of mortal wounds inflicted by a spell or ability)’ I may have the wrong end of the stick but just in case he had been playing it that way you should now at least add a little random chance into that mw output issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The casters would be there to try and buff the aelven heroes. The key to a Pheonix is to get that spell caster buff up as much as possible. If you’re going down this route, a double Pheonix is the right choice in my opinion. I’d support it with a battlemage (going for the Lifesurge spell) and a Loremaster. Stormcast Prosecutors with javalins would be a great supporting unit for the Phoenixes, complementing their speed while putting out some solid damage from far.

I thought just been able to do 6 mortals wounds without any kind of rolling was a little OP. thanks for clearing that up! 6 minutes ago, MrCharisma said: The key to a Pheonix is to get that spell caster buff up as much as possible.
