Acid_Nine Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) @LuminethMage it does my heart good to see a zaitec list that did well with that list! A glorious battle being led by the most wise and glorious god, Celenar!* I am also happy to see a list with a lot of Wardens too. my favorite models and the ones I plan on spending the most on building my army around! Not too bad of a sentinel spam either. Quite nice! *Teclis was there too I guess. Edited October 11, 2020 by Acid_Nine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdyhedberg Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Update on my problem. Just gluing the banner back to the pole/spear didn't really work, it broke pretty easy after. I think the pressure from the banner is the reason. (But it works if you do like aelfric did). My solution was to glue the banner between the spear (so it could connect at two points instead of one). After some painting it looks alright. Otherwise, do any of you think teclis would work well in a 1500 point game? (I guess it's not worth it for 1000 points).

Otherwise, do any of you think teclis would work well in a 1500 point game? (I guess it's not worth it for 1000 points). Great that you found a good solution. You can make a smaller version of a common 2,000 points list with Teclis. Teclis Scinari Cathallar 20 Wardens (1 x 20 or 2 x 10, maybe new 2 x 10 for BL depending on how strict the rules are applied for 1,500) 20 Sentinels (1 x 20 or 2 x 10) 5 Dawnriders 1450 points. So, you can add an Endless Spell or CP. It could be pretty high drop and might not be the best way to go, but if you want to try Teclis and already get a bit of an insight how common Lumineth list which include him work, I think this kind of list should be helpful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThalmorRepresentative Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Convinced myself to paint another model before my brush replacements come in the mail this week. Decided to start working on my sentinels. Also assembling Stoneguard. Edited October 12, 2020 by ThalmorRepresentative 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jartem Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) @ThalmorRepresentative Nice High Warden @LuminethMage Ooh looking good with that Eltharion Just placed 2nd in my Local Shop's 1-day Round-Robin Tourney 😁 Mr. T does make Wardens tanky 🤭, archers can be swingy 😅 1st Game - Focal Points: 3 Terrorgheist list - Feast Day Court Opp took more time as his first game vs LRL, worked in my favour in end. End Turn 2, I was in a lead and result was called. Major Victory. If 3A was my initiative (double turn), quite confident to clear another Terrorgheist to free a flank 2nd Game - Better Part of Valor: Gladeless Sylvaneth, 3x3 Kurnoth melee, TLA, Durthu - Was too aggressive and lost a block of 20 wardens early, hence only managed a Minor Victory here, did take out Durthu easy with Spells/Wardens. 20 Sentinels cleared Branchwraith turn 1A. 3rd Game - Forcing the Hand: Tzeentch - Kairos/Archaon/ 3x3 Flamers/ 10 Pinks. He placed his Deathstars towards one flank. Wardens w PowerHysh/Re-roll1s Save/5+FNP/AetherQuartz x2 +2 save, took 1 single dmg from a buffed Archaon in Turn 1. He took double in Turn 2, finished the Wardens and the other wardens w Teclis & spells finished Archaon Turn 2. 1 wound Teclis then flies to their empty obj and scores, resulting in a Major for me. *phew* 😅 My Thoughts: Teclis point sink is real. Little or min sized troops avail Blocks of 10 wardens are not sufficient to take hits from most armies/Deathstar even with -1 and 5+FNP on. Forgot my Lifeswarm combo whole day 🤦♂️ (Game 1 and 3, chose Ghyran to be able make D6 slain models come back) A unit of 5xDawnriders (missing in my list for guaranteed 1st turn - 2 drop) makes a huge tactical difference (Not really gonna dent any 4+ screens though) Sentinels in 10 block (9 shots) is very meh 😑 Especially if they are needed to set up separate from castle as far Obj holding Edited October 12, 2020 by jartem Details of Battle Report were remembered wrongly 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminethMage Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) @jartem thanks and that sounds exciting especially the 3rd match. Really great to see more BT reports coming in!

Yondaime Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) I found ymetrica lists to be REALLY strong vs certain armys, i used this vs fireslayers Avalenor Stonemage Stonemage 5xStoneguard 10xstoneguard 10xstoneguard 20xsentinels 10xsentinels Alarith spirit of the mountain Alarith temple batalion The fact that i ignore rend, reroll saves, and give -2 to hit to enemis, -3 to sentinels (?!!) make this army basically freaking immortal It was fun to see a whole army of one of the best melee units getting crushed like a wave on a rock against my stoneguard, at the end of the game, he lost everithing and i lost like 8 models the whole freaking game Only downside its that its a bit slow and it can be hard to reach objectives in some battleplans, but boy its a lot of fun to play this list Edited October 12, 2020 by Yondaime 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaCapo Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 @Yondaime well dont forget fyreslayers hits first in their combat phase so they basically have only-1 to hit and you can't reroll saves (you can have +1 save tho but only on one unit) but our army basically counters fyreslayers not only ymetrica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuminethMage Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 So the book cover for Direchasm shows the sword fighter in more detail. Doesn’t look like she has something to do with the River Temple, as she hasn’t got any River runes on her. Could be of course be sue she is part of that specific group. Maybe we hear a bit more about them in the preview this week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first one came out alright, but I think I over primed it, which caused some detail to be lost by the end of it. So I'm looking forward to a second attempt as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Antiguo Guardián Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Hello mates, Here you have an UB2 battle report with my Maggotkins vs Lumineth. We played on UB2 because is better for the pictures and analysis but on the future we can try TTS bcs I have it too. I´m sorry because I wanted some lumineth painting tutorial and more reports but now I´m in Madrid and things are bad with covid-19. I hope you like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
