Grudgebearer Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The list looks really awesome, would love to hear the tactics behind that list. It's obvious that it's a Clown car list but it would be interesting to hear what the role of the ironclad is in that list and how the units are distributed between the two ships.

Has the added bonus that you can remove the flying stand for transport. I pinned mine but if it rotates left or right it fall off maybe i drilled too deep cause the pin goes into the hollow boat.

Marvinmega Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 No clue, there is a conversation in the Kharadron facebook group, he said he was going to post a recap of the tournament later this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These Sky Admirals talk through both the foundations of building a great army, customising it with command traits/artefacts/etc, and tactics. Awesome overview of the faction. Thanks for making it! Also, shout out to the Aethercast Podcast mentioned in the video. It's a KO specific podcast, so I'm guessing many people on this forum would like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubrick54 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I’m the player that took CCBB! I’ll try to post a quick recap but I’ll be on Aethercast Saturday to discuss the event. Feel free to ask questions, I’ll do my best to answer them later tonight! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grudgebearer Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Congrats on the win :)! I would be really interested in your basic tactic and unit Distribution between the two ships. Also, was this a doubles tournament or a singles event? Thanks in advance for your answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was your go to strategy for deployment? What was the target priority with the drop ship party against your opponents? What was the choice of going with this list instead of the block of arkanaut shooty list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won both doubles (partner was Fyreslayers) and singles. That list was for singles. I put the 14 Thunderers and Khemyst aboard the Frigate and the balloons and 1 or 2 units of Arkanauts + Nav on the IC. I never took first turn except against a FEC player who deployed forward expecting to go first. Concentrate fire and used the Wardens to grab objectives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, I would bait my opponent with my IC, which I deployed first with the meat of the army, and put it somewhere I did not want to put to force them to react accordingly. After that, I could redeploy it with Fleetmaster easily according to his deployment. Every game I played, I outdropped my opponent meaning I knew in advance if I wanted to go first or second and deploy accordingly. For the target priority, it really depends on the scenario and the list. But I usually went for what I perceived was the heart of my opponent's army or big units if he had them. I ear busted a large block of 40 ghouls in a game but I also shot Jezzails, Deamonettes etc. Really depends... As for the choice of boats over Arkanauts, a lot of things went into consideration. 1. I hate big blocks of units. 2. I don't have that many Arkanauts. 3. That build is slow, and in a tournament where basically only the objectives will decide the outcome of the game, I chose mobility instead of raw firepower. I don't want to spend over 600 points (40 Arkanauts and Khemyst) on a single static unit that dies to a swift breeze...I know it's a good combo but it's not my style. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome answer and congratulations for winning! A final thing, how did you deploy the frigate so the counter punch would have less impact, or did you lose that part of your army every time?

Basically, I would set up the Thunderers as far away from my target as I could, lapping around the ship but leaving the front of it open. I deployed the Khemyst alone in front on the 9 inch line. Have to find the sweet spot eveytime. That way, if my target survives, he more often then not has to charge the Khemyst (-1 attack) and the Frigate (possibly having them strike last) so I can retreat with the Thunderers. It happened this way in the doubles event against a horde of Plague monks. Did wonders! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think a build like yours would still work using double frigate, or did the size and firepower of the Ironclad play a decent part in your games?

I never tried double frigates as I only own one...But I love the Ironclad. It has far better firepower and higher transport capacity. The 4+ save (Which the Frigate should have btw) is also a nice addition to hit. I also enjoy the Flagship rule to buff all the ships. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
