Kimbo Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Ive been thinking about starting a Free people army. 1000p is what i want to aim att first. But i have no clue about the do's and dont's in this army. How would you play a 1000p with competitive focus? I like swords and shield battleline and handgunner. They good? Please be dirty..since my gaming group is all about the competiive side of the game. Thank you in advance //KIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galas Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Gunline. General on foot with his command hability. Put an Hurricanum in it to the +1 to hit and you end with a gunline hitting in 2 and wounding in 2. The point its to buff your riflemen as you can. Freeguild troops with sword and shield can make a good screen to your riflemen. (Thats what I read online. I'm actually no freeguild player) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCharisma Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Are you looking for a pure Free People army or a human faction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Im open for mixing as long as its better. But mostly free people would be Nice! I dont own any old models thats not available by GW today. If your thinking something that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Working on a 2k list aswell. Feedback on this? Would mean alot. Im in a competitive meta so dont hold back on cheese If I missed something LeadersFreeguild General (100)- GeneralCelestial Hurricanum With Celestial Battlemage(320)- GeneralCogsmith (100)- GeneralBattleline 20x guard 20x guard 20x handgunner 20x handgunner 3x Demi gryphs 3x Demi gryphsWar MachinesCannon (180)- GeneralCannon (180)- GeneralTotal: 2000/2000 2x cannon with Cogsmith seems good for the reroll to hit. Viable? Needed some fast cav for objectives. Demi gryphs good? Or what do you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galas Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I think Demygryphs and Empire Knights are overpriced for what they do. Maybe change them for more handgunners or more artillery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperion Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Drop one unit of hand gunners and beef one up to 30. You get the bonuses to hit and room to lose models. Can still split up shooting if you need too. Cannons are viable but rocket battery are dirty as well. Demigryph are over priced in my opinion and most objectives require you to have more models. But I would replace with pistoliers/ grenadiers and run the freeguild battalion. Also added a gryphhound for over watch may want to replace mage with more of these Kinda did a list I think would work with them: General on horse battle mage on horse hurricanum gunmaster(engineer) 20 guard 20 guard 30 gunners 5 pistols 5 grenadiers gryphound 2 cannons freeguild battalion 2000 on the nose others more experienced may disagree. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask because there is a big difference in my recommendation for a pure Free People army vs. a combined human force. If I was starting again, I would take this 1,000pts force; 100pts, Free Guild General on horse 320pts, Celestial Hurricanum 160pts, 20 Free Guild Swords & Shields 200pts, 3 Demigryph Knights 200pts, 2x10 Free Guild Hangunners (including 2 long guns), OR; 200pts, 20 Free Guild Crossbow With your 2,000pt army... I would; Drop the Cogsmith Drop the Cannons Split out your handgunners to units of 10 Beef up your Guard to 30 Find a hard hitting unit.... Steam Tank, Greatswords, or another Hurricanum Check out the Free Guild thread that I created. There is a wealth of knowledge from other players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warboss Gorbolg Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 GHB2 is so close that I would focus on the models that you really like for now. Who knows what points will look like in a couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
