Thanks for your comments / advice! I like your conversions

I am getting ready to start playing aos - looking for feedback on my aelves of hammerhal lists: I am at the stage where I can put this on the table. Any feedback or advice is most welcome. I feel like it is not 'focussed' enough but I am a little limited in models. I am concerned that I have no magic, but don't yet have a proxy for the hurricanum that would suit the all alves nature of the list. City: Hammerhal. Allegiance: Cities of Sigmar LEADERS Anointed of Asuryan on Frostheart Phoenix (320) Anointed (100) - General Command ability: "Blood of the twelve" re-roll wounds to hammerhal units within 12" Dreadlord on Black Dragon (300) - Lance of Spite & Tyrant Shield - Armour of Mallus (to give 2+ save) Black Ark Fleetmaster (60) (Adjutant) UNITS 20 x Sisters of the Watch (320) 10 x Phoenix Guard (160) 20 x Phoenix Guard (320) 10 x Phoenix Guard (160) 5 x Drakespawn Knights (130) 5 x Drakespawn Knights (130) TOTAL: 2000/2000 WOUNDS: 116 LEADERS: 4/6 BATTLELINES: 3 (3+) BEHEMOTHS: 2/4 ARTILLERY: 0/4 My thinking is that the Pheonix Guard supported by the archers and the command abilities through the game (hoping to generate some CP, with 5 units with banners and an adjutant/ general combo) will hold and / or push a line. The dragon and dragon princes (drakespawn knights) are to claim objectives or screen / support the line. I included them for the mobility. My other option is to consider something like: Allegiance: Cities of Sigmar LEADERS Anointed of Asuryan on Frostheart Phoenix (320) Battlemage (110) - City Role: General's Adjutant Freeguild General (100) - General UNITS 20 x Sisters of the Watch (320) 10 x Phoenix Guard (160) 30 x Phoenix Guard (420) 10 x Freeguild Greatswords (140) 10 x Freeguild Greatswords (140) 10 x Freeguild Greatswords (140) 10 x Shadow Warriors (110) TOTAL: 1960/2000 WOUNDS: 122 LEADERS: 3/6 BATTLELINES: 3 (3+) BEHEMOTHS: 1/4 ARTILLERY: 0/4 ARTEFACTS: 0/1 ENDLESS SPELLS: 0/3 ALLIES: 0/400 Which seems a lot more static, but more compentent in close combat. (I have 30 high swordmasters who would be the greatswords).

I am starting a cities of sigmar list with my old high & wood elves. I was thinking of including the hurricanum but am really after a high elf / ulthuan theme to it. The horses dragging a clunky set of steam-punk-esqe devices doesn't seem elfish. I have some spare parts - a couple of lothern sky-cutters, a griffon or two and no shortage of elf mage models (I think I have about 4 on foot). I have an old webway portal from when they were new to dark eldar in 40k, and one of the 3" range templates that looks kinda chaos warp (from 40k). I am also open to buying models. Any ideas?

Thanks for the advice! I am not so sure how accepting the community is of conversions and proxies, but I guess I'll find out (I have a lot of gamezone dark elves that I didn;t mention for this reason). Any reason you would not include the griffon rider as the freeguild general on griffon, and then the swordmasters as freeguild greatswords (or executioners for that matter?) To me the mortal wounds on 2A models seem to indicate a reasonable damage output, especially in an army that doesn't seem to have much in the way of rend. Also wondering if reavers / dark riders are useful as screens or scorers?

I also have a $100 (australian) gift voucher for GW, which is actually what started this whole thought process for me....

Thanks for the feedback! My collection: 3 x the island of blood box: 30 spire guard, 20 swordmasters, 3x5 reavers (Could I take the reavers as allies?) 1 built griffon, 1 still on sprue 8 silver helms (converted) 12 dragon princes 40 pheonix guard, 20 sisters of the watch 10 wood elves with glaives (wildwood rangers) 30 more on sprue, could be eternal guard instead 3 reaper bolt throwers frostheart pheonix elf mage on dragon tyrion and teclis from 1994 various characters on foot dark elves a lot of spearmen (40-50) 10 cold one knights 1 cold one chariot altar of blood, medusa etc (no avatar - used it in a conversion) 10 harpies 5 dark riders, 5 warlocks more bolt throwers dread prince on dark pegasus

The city is the Living City. Idea of the assassin was that he and the foot anointed would be in among the bloib of Pheonix guard, while using the adjutant ability to generate CPs. Was my thoughts. The black dragon and K-beast were included as damage dealers, and because I have the models (well, I have a high elf dragon I was going to use as the black dragon). Do you have any suggestions?

Hi all, my new year project is to resurrect my whfb army for aos. Having looked through the cities book, this is my first attempt at a list at 2000 pts. General: annointed (on foot) - 100. Assassin (80) adjutant Annointed on frost heart pheonix - 320 Nomad prince - 120 Dread lord on black dragon (300) 20 pheonix guard (retinue) - 320 10 pheonix guard (160) 10 pheonix guard (160) 20 sisters of the watch (320) Karibdyss(170) Emerald lifeswarm (50) The two small units are to fill out battleline (I only have 40 pheonix guard) Idea is that the sisters and nomad prince are in hidden deployment - I assume I can still use the nomad prince's ability on the turn they appear in order to boost the sisters shooting? The k-beast would also start off the table and attempt to charge with the 3d6 ability it has? Any suggestions on how to fill out my battle line differently would be welcome - I'd prefer the max unit of pheonix guard.

My collection is something like: 20 pheonix guard (plus 20 more in need of tlc) 20 sisters of the watch Frost pheonix with anointed Dragon with elf Mage on it 3*5 reavers 20 swordmasters 30 spire guard Griffin and rider 3 repeater bolt Throwers 8 silver helms 12 dragon princes Various characters on foot. Tyrion & teclis (1994ish models, pride of my collection) 30 executioners 30 ish witches (but not gw models) 10 cold one knights and several characters on cold ones Hydra Karibdys 10 eternal guard

I own - 3 x Island of blood boxset (15 reavers, 30 spire guard, a griffon rider, 20 swordmasters) 20 pheonix guard 30 sisters of watch a lot of high elf spearmen frost pheonix with anointed HE dragon with wizard Tyrion and Teclis (from 1994ish) 8 silver helms 20 wood elf dudes with the glaive (eternal guard if memory serves) 12 dragon princes 30 executioners a lot of dark elf spearmen hydra kharibdys or however it is spelt 6ish bolt throwers of various origin 10 cold one knights, several characters on cold ones 10 harpies 30ish witches (non -GW) 20ish crossbowmen (non-GW)

Thanks for your prompt replies!

I was wondering whether I can use my old whfb armies to make a viable aos army. Specifically, an army built around pheonix guard, executioners, sisters of the watch etc (I have high and dark elves in the old language). I was gifted a GW gift voucher for $100 over Xmas. If I had to make a single purchase to turn old armies into a viable aos army, what would I buy?

Do you know where I could find them?

I know GW don't intend to do points for their legends tomes. I want to play with points, even if they are a bit rough (can't be worse than GW version of balance right?). Has anyone else done this - made points values for the legends tomes? If not the best guide, I guess, is the original general's handbook. Did anyone encounter any big issues when using this? *Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere
