Mohojoe Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Currently building a themed IronJawz army to see me to my first tournament and I am interested in finding the opposite end of the spectrum with shooty armies for a small side project. Interested in views and opinions of a variety of armies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I'd say right now it's either the Kunnin' Ruk themed bonesplitterz, or those teleporting crossbow and bow wielding stormcasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riyathe Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Order - As many celestial hurricanums, kurnoth hunters as you can fit, then stick on some glade guard battleline tax and a few gryph hounds to try and deny teleporting/hot drops. Chaos - Clan Skryre, 9 stormfiends, 6 warpfire throwers etc or more if points allow, mortal wound pew pew hope it dies in one turn or your toast (universally hated for being very 1 dimensional..read boring to play and play against) Destruction - Kunnin rukk(s), a ton of savage ork arrow boys. Couple of heroes to buff their shooting. Park them next to some damned scenery and say sayonara to anything within 18"+all the movement they have Death - i dont think they have that much in the way of shooting..skeleton archers and a screaming skull catapult?

Sadysaneto Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Skaven are pretty filthy in the pewpew department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobgoblinclub Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I agree skaven are very shooty. You'll not make any friends running a pure Skryre list though. ? I was running a mix skaven and tzeentch list a while back. Lots of potential in that combo for a shooting and magic sniping list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCharisma Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 In the Artist Formerly Known As The Empire you have; Crossbowmen Arches Handgunners Pistoleers Outriders Cannon Volley Gun Steam Tank Hellblaster Rocket Mortar Celestial Hurricanum Luminak of Hysh ...so we have a few shooty things too.

CoffeeGrunt Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Came up against a Dwarf Gunline as Death yesterday. Hoowee, that was like charging into a hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 750pts there was: 10 Firedrakes 10 Thunderers 10 Longbeards 1 Cannon 1 Gunsmith It was mainly the Firedrakes and Gunsmith that hammered my forces into dust.

Thanks mate. I run a 20 man gun line using Free People with Crossbows, which gives me double shots if we don't move. Curious to know if I should be pumping up the shooting support with a cannon (on top of the Celestial Hurricanum) or just keep my anvil block of Guard & Greatswords.

Dez Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Go 30. My opponent brings 20, I grow some random shooting into it, and that's it they are at half efficiency and not a threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHHaunts Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Wanderers may not be as stupidly good at shooting as they were but i still think they may be the strongest. Particularly if you use compendium models. I could say alot about them. But the Arcane Bodkin ability alone makes them a foce to be reckoned with and the army synergy can buff the shooting really effectivley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Arcane Bodkins seem pretty hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a Forest dragon buff on them as well they become the pivotal attack in many a game. However with glade riders, Waywatchers, Orion, SistersOTT, glade lords etc, all able to shoot pretty well. Wanderers are still SO shooty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
