Trav Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hi all, i absolutely love the kurnoth hunters and have been underwelmed by the big unit of archers i have been using. The bodkins were great in one game but otherwise the archers have been wittled down to easily. I am looking to replace them with kurnoth hunters with bows as they are cheaper and much more resilient - plus the 30" range is great. I am about to buy some hunters and would love some feedback or general thoughts on my list. waywatcher (general) noble prince spellweaver 3 waywatchers 3 waywatchers 3 kurnoth hunters with bows 20 eternal guard 5 sisters of the thorn any thoughts?

Trav Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Another list idea i have is waywatcher general noble prince 20 gladeguard 20 gladeguard 20 eternal guard 3 kurnoth hunters with bows place eternal guard and kurnoth hunters in front to form a solid wall. Hopefully leaves the gladeguard to shoot for a few turns at decent effect. thoughts on either list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobume Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Are the lists for matched play? If so, how many points? Which scenarios are you aiming for? All six, or just a selection? Personally, I thinks it's much cooler to go mono-wanderers, but the Kurnoth hunters seem to be a lot stronger choice. They are probably one of the most effective units in the game for what they cost. Both lists look themed and fun. The second list lacks a wizard, which could potentially hurt you. Unbinding spells and casting mystic shield can sometimes be very crucial.

Been resisting the urge to use non wanderer units but the hunters look so cool snd seem like a lot of fun to use. the second list seems like it would kill a lot more due to lots of shooting, but not looking forward to painting my 40 archers! The first list has more variety and more rounded though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobume Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I would go for the first list I think. It seems to have a little more balance. Some shooting, some combat, some magic and some speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzy128 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Can I ask about the 3 waywatchers? It says minimum 5 in the compendium but I've seen them listed as 3 other places. i feel 3 for 80 points is very very little? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you mention it it does seem like a lot.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trav Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 My hunters have arrived so will start building soon. Going for first list as it is more rounded and has a few more tricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
