KillagoreFaceslasha Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 So after having bought the last kits I need for my Ironjawz I thought I'd try a bit of the posterboys. Seeing as they have great potential for manneuver shenanigans, I'd like to try them, as they seem "cheap" too. Got three ideas: Almost pure vanguard chamber A (1000pts on the dot). Leaders: Lord Aquilor with obsidian blade on his sword, champion of the realms as trait for extra buffing of the blade. Aethereal stalker. 200pts Lord Veritant with lightning chariot. Battleline: 2 units of 5 hunters with stormsabres. 140pts each Other: 3x vanguard palladors 220pts 3x vanguard raptors with the long-croswbows. 180pts Almost pure vanguard chamber B (40pts away from objective... maybe a gryphound) Leaaders: Lord Aquilor with obsidian blade on his sword, champion of the realms as trait for extra buffing of the blade. Aethereal stalker. 200pts Lord Relictor with divine light. 80pts Battleline: 2 units of 5 hunters. 140pts each. Other: 3x vanguard palladors 220pts 3x vanguard raptors with the long-croswbows. 180pts Pure vanguard chamber. Leaaders: Lord Aquilor with obsidian blade on his sword, champion of the realms as trait for extra buffing of the blade. Aethereal stalker. 200pts Battleline: 2 units of 5 hunters. 140pts each. Other: 3x vanguard palladors 220pts 3x aetherwings. 60pts 1x gryphound. 40pts 3x vanguard raptors with the long-croswbows. 180pts My basic idea is to spam the Aquilor's skill as much as possible, zip across the board and play with my opponent's ranges. Lord Veritant would provide support with his prayers, either for himself or other units that are stuck in. Lord Relictor would hang back with the crossbows and I think I'll attach a gryph hound to protect them properly. Let me ask something: when they say edge of the board, do they refer to "corners" or any limits (like a ring around the "inner board") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guiltysparc Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I could be reading this wrong, i think the battalion rule says something like "if all 3 units of pallador ride the winds aesthetic then you can" blah blah, which suggests you need to take 3 units, not just one. Any idea of that's a correct reading or does it just mean if all your pallador ride the winds then you can do the thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea of that's a correct reading or does it just mean if all your pallador ride the winds then you can do the thing? The only issue here is that the word all doesn't actually appear on the battalion's warscroll there. So "Aetheric Wake" bonus only kicks in if you include the full 3 units of Palladors. However, you can take anywhere between 3 and 9 Hunter units and still get the "The Trap is Sprung" bonus, since that one does say all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guiltysparc Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Got It, So I was reating it correctly (that it meant you need the full 3 units of pallador to use that particular bonus rule) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not required to take 3 in the battalion, but you only get access to that bonus if you do have the full 3 units of Palladors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith01 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 You'll need more heroes to play most objective based encounters. For example in "3 places of Power" you only score points if you have a hero at each objective point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
