Lord Krungharr Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 There's an event next April in Milwauke, WI, USA that will have an award for the best performing army (2500 points) with 5 heroes, no more no less, and each hero must also be a Behemoth. This is a pretty cool idea! What army/heroes would fit the bill for this? My first thoughts are : Khorne-Tyrants of Blood with 1 of each Bloodthirster, Skarbrand, and maybe an Exalted Thirster or just slap in a Daemon Prince somewhere with a relic. Fill it out with Flesh Hounds for Battleline probably. Ogor Mawtribes-5 Frostlords on Stonehorns, or maybe some of those frost-breath ones instead? Seems like one can't go wrong with Stonehorns. Heck, could 3 more hunters on Stonehorns be battleline then? With the Might Makes Right thing they might even score objectives! Flesheaters-5 of those Terrogheist Kings, cuz reasons Gloomspite Gitz-2 Troggoth Hags, 2 A-rok Shaman, Mangler Loonboss…………….profit Cities of Sigmar-Freeguild General on Griffon, Frostheart Phoenix, Flamespyre Phoenix, Dreadlord on Black Dragon, Celestial Hurricanum with Battlemage..... Stormcast Eternals-5 Stardrakes? Can those all fit in 2500 points? Don't know. Can't think of other Behemoth Leaders for them. Tzeentch- Omnisicient Oracles, a few Kairic Acolytes, and hopefully some endless spells Clan Pestilens-Verminlord Warpseer and Corruptor, Plague Furnace x2, allied Great Unclean One...…..with a bunch of Plague Monks how could this lose?!?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeleFAZE Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) Slaanesh - 5 keepers (or 4+Shalaxi), 3 min squads of hellstriders, supreme sybarites and seeker cavalcade battalions. You'll even have 140-160 points left too. Edited November 27, 2019 by CeleFAZE forgot to account for the Shalaxi build's points 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Krungharr Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 D'oh! How could I forget Slaanesh? That's a super strong one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilberfrid Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) Cities also has the battlemage on griffin and the Luminarch of Hyish, and the tank commander. Hallowheart Sorceress on dragon Luminarch Amber mage on griffin Hurricanum These can also be in a batallion. Living city can have Sylvaneth in it, which gives a bit more access. (Alarielle, Treelords). All cities can have Stormcast, if you would want that. Edited November 27, 2019 by zilberfrid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Túrbóbelja Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Isn't Nurgle the easiest and most fun due to all the Maggot lords? All 3 lords, Great unclean one and the Glottkin gives you 5 behemoths that are heroes for 1480 points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Krungharr Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 Oh man, I would love to buy all the big Nurgle guys! I need a better job. Didn't realize the Cities could take a single battalion with all those monsters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackmcmahon Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 5 troggoths hags and call it The View? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 How important are friends to you? If not 5 keepers. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuneBrush Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I'd hold off going full fettle on 5 keepers until we see the changes that are coming at some point this month. Although it sounds like the events prevents non-behemoth units, does that also include summoning? Could you get some cheeky shenanigans with Khorne or Tzeentch summoning?

Sapca Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Not the best performing likely. But... CoS. 5x 300 Points of Dreadlords on Black Dragon (for coolnes, proxy Black Dragons with Carmine Dragon models) Fill rest with legit War Hydras / Khabarridis as Battlelines. Or. Steam Tanks army. Pew Pew. 5x Commander for 250 then steam tanks rollout. Legit Behemot only armies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scurvydog Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Allegiance: Ogor Mawtribes- Mawtribe: BoulderheadFrostlord on Stonehorn (400)- GeneralFrostlord on Stonehorn (400)Frostlord on Stonehorn (400)Huskard on Thundertusk (340)- ChaintrapHuskard on Thundertusk (340)- Chaintrap2 x Mournfang Pack (140)- Gargant Hackers2 x Mournfang Pack (140)- Gargant Hackers2 x Mournfang Pack (140)- Gargant Hackers2 x Mournfang Pack (140)- Gargant HackersTotal: 2440 / 2500Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 0 / 500Wounds: 111 Very weak against magic, but will dish out a lot of mortal wounds. 2 huskards on tusks is for +1 to prayers as well as to only be using the best mount traits. Boulderhead tribe gets mount traits for all monsters, +1 wound on all monsters and can fight at full profile for 1 CP, so yea, great for monsters. Having 15" move and mortal wounds on charges will also give some good advantages vs opposing behemoths. A stonehorn with Metal Cruncher outright does d6 mortal wounds at the start of the combat phase to a unit with a 4+ save or better, that is scary, especially if they already got charged for impact hit mortal wounds. All beastclaw behemoths also counting for 10 models will probably win you games more than anything in this special tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
