Orsino Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Making some changes to my list, wondering if I'd be better off running it as Tempest's Eye: Allegiance: Cities of Sigmar - City: Living City LEADERSNomad Prince (120) - General - Command Trait : Druid of the Everspring - Lifesurge - Artefact : Spear of the Hunt Celestial Hurricanum With Celestial Battlemage (280) Dreadlord on Black Dragon (300)UNITS20 x Sisters of the Watch (320)10 x Sisters of the Watch (160)30 x Eternal Guard (330)3 x Akhelian Ishlaen Guard (140) - Allies3 x Akhelian Ishlaen Guard (140) - Allies3 x Aetherwings (40) BEHEMOTHSWar Hydra (170) I actually find the war hydra works well for me but I am concious that if I got rid of the hydra and atherwings I'd have enough points to take a unit of shadow warriors and some outriders or something.

basement dweller Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Good evening. Im trying to build a list that can handle an heavy eel list...not looking just to be eel killers, but wondering what type of units are beast to deal withe fish elves? High armour? Shooty? Mortal wounds? I usually play anvilgard (im aware of the challenges with this city) and would like to get the most out of this city....but would be willing to do living city or tempest eye. I think Hallowheart is probably best...lay in with the spells, tank in with pheonix guard. I am trying to avoid going here, so looking for models/strategies to give the eels a good game. Any advice would be greatly appreciated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have 10 more to paint so could do 30.... How many were you thinking in 2k? Edited August 21, 2020 by basement dweller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not forget, that they are fighting in 3 ranks because of their 2" weapons. But you should always add the Annointed on foot for ignoring battleshock. Additionally, a major fun thing is, that you can easily switch between cities but still keep nearly the same army lists. 30PG in the phoenicum can also be great fun with death frenzy.

Have been thinking i need to paint the last 10. I have also been pondering a Pheonix anyways...so then i would also have an anointed model.

dekay Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Maybe I'm reaching here, but doesn't this illustration from new Broken Realms look more like Scourge Privateers than Idoneth? Maybe there's a chance that city-aelves will show up in Broken Realms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know exactly if this illustration is something new or one of many old world illustration (which look amazing as well) but if this pictures means that Black corsairs, still row the world with those huge ships, I’m all in for a Pirate Elf themed Faction.

Lord of the Isle Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I believe the Scourge Privateer Corsairs do still have Black Arks. Just maybe not made out of actual chunks of Ulthuan anymore?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it looks extremely Old-Worldy to the point where it's kinda strange that it has been used as a promo of new Aelf-themed book. Exactly what made me think. And, as @Lord of the Isle mentioned, Black Arks are still a thing, Scourge are using them, as well as smaller ships. I mean, their basic unit is called *black ark* corsairs and they're led by *black ark* fleetmasters. So if this picture really shows Scourge Privateer ships... well, to think of it, we all know GW is not very committed when it comes to potential CoS updates. No new models, no warcry, no faction terrain, it was a pretty low risk update. Dropping some extra CoS rules and such in a supplement that players of other, more popular armies will buy as well seems like a smart thing to do if minimizing risks is their way for the faction. But we'll see. Hard to speculate any more based on a single picture. Maybe it's meant to be Idoneth or something ; ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentinelGuy Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 The aelves still have raiding ships. They feature quite a bit in the Callis and Toll novel and appear to be like triremes mixed with the old arks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekay Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) After some digging, the illustration is allegedly from the End Times and therefore, does show Corsair ships. This leaves basically 3 options: 1. Picture is unrelated. Someone thought "we're doing Idoneth expansion, this is a picture of a sea, job's a gud 'un". That would be disappointing. 2. We'll get some Mathlann related flashbacks, because he featured heavily in this part of the End Times. So Idoneth stuff. Also kind of disappointing. 3. Corsairs do have some role in Broken Realms, and this being a recycled illustration works well with low cost approach GW has to the Cities. We'll see. And, as @SentinelGuy mentioned, Corsairs have had a pretty prominent place in a novel already, including important-ish named character. So they're not completely forgotten.

Tiberius501 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Hello friends, a quick question I’m sure has been discussed a million times, so apologies. But, handgunners or crossbows? And with 20 in the army, would you do 2 units of 10 or a unit of 20? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red King Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Update on my "Dreadlord on Black Dragon" for my swamp dwelling living cities army. The base colors are all on. The next step will be to wash everything down to dull it out so it's not so bright. The wings are blank and brown right now cause I plan on attempting some butterfly-esque freehand on it. Wish me luck as it's my first real effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are clueless, generally go with MSU handgunners with longrifles. You do bigger units that don't have horde discounts, only if you are bidding to choose turn order. You go crossbows only if they have enough buffers. Edited September 21, 2020 by Evantas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius501 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 @Evantas, I am clueless haha, so I’ll go the two 10 man units of handgunners. Thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uratourist Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Phoenicium 1k Army Hey all! Decided to finally get into Cities of Digmar, and I tried making a smaller list. What do you think?

Zeblasky Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 You know, I had an interesting idea. Imagine if Sisters of the Watch would have gotten their own version of "Power of Hysh" spell, with each High Sister being a wizard. How dirty would it be to play 40 teleporting Sisters in Hallowhearth with almost guaranteed casts and Hurricanum support. Oh, and they each would be able to cast 1 extra spell as well (you would start to run out of spells to cast very fast, unless you have a few Endless ones). Would sadly definetly require points raise for Sisters though just because of Hallowheart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer they do not get a points hike and fairly powerful rules addition on a moderately well pointed unit that to be honest,.. is in a good spot. I would like to see more... cohesion between the among Wanderers as a whole. So far,.. it's SotW being great, the others being good or fine.

What do you think? Welcome! In the context of making the list interesting (bearing in mind Phoenicium is not competitive): IMO u should use Aetherwings where possible. They die faster, cost less and hence proc your buff more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
