AoS 2 - Destruction 2000 points | Monster Mayhem!

[T e e t h p a s t e]

Hello all, here I have 2 lists themed around the Monstrous Arcanum, thus using the Grand Alliance: Destruction rules.

I know I should play for what I enjoy, but I like the sound of them both equally and cannot decide, so I'm putting it forward to you people and with being relatively new to AoS I was hoping to get some criticisms on the lists relating to competitive play and how they would perform.

List 1:

Allegiance: Destruction | Realms of Battle: Hysh

Leaders:

• Grot Shaman = 80 points - General | Artefact: Aetherquartz Brooch | Command Trait: Ravager

Battleline:

• 20x Grots /w Jabbin’ Spears and shields = 100 points

• 20x Grots /w Grot Bow = 100 points

• 20x Grots /w Grot Bow = 100 points

Behemoths:

• Magma Dragon = 540 points

• Magma Dragon = 540 points

• Magma Dragon = 540 points

Total = 2000 points

Game plan:

• Magma Dragons: Fly around as a pack, or individually if required and roast anything within range

• Grots: Hold objectives and pick off any stranglers that may be lurking too close for comfort to the Magma Dragons with their bows. The ones with spears and shields are simply a screen

• Grot Shaman: A source of magic, be it for defence, offence or something else.

———————————————————————

Now, the next list is more themed and probably less competitive but here it is.

List 2:

Allegiance: Destruction | Realms of Battle: Ghur

Leader:

• Fimirach Noble = 140 points - General | Artefact: Gryph-feather Charm | Command Trait: Wild Fury

• Madcap Shaman = 80 points

Battleline:

• Fimir Warriors x6 = 280 points

• Fimir Warriors x6 = 280 points

• Fimir Warriors x3 = 140 points

Behemoths:

• Magma Dragon = 540 points

• Magma Dragon = 540 points

Total = 2000 points

Game plan:

• Magma Dragons: Fly around as a duo, or individually if required and roast anything within range.

• Fimir Warriors: To hold objectives/ provide support for the Magma Dragons or pose a threat, since in comparison to the Grots they hit a lot harder, and are a lot harder to get rid of.

• Fimirach Noble: Sit around the Fimir Warriors and use his command ability buff all the Fimir Warriors.

I'm my humble opinion, I think that using 3 Magma Dragons (I own 2 of them) is too much because of their cost and the fact that in some Battleplans you need heroes or wizards to keep objectives.

My list with them:

Fungoid Cave Shaman 90

60x grots with bows 270

20 grots with spears 100

Mork's Mighty Mushroom 80
