Had a thought of a illiatha based list with a ton of bladelords, any thoughts or tips on how to improve it? - Army Faction: Lumineth Realm-lords - Subfaction: Iliatha LEADERS Vanari Lord Regent (170) Ellania and Ellathor (260)* - Spells: Protection of Hysh Scinari Cathallar (110)* - Spells: Total Eclipse Scinari Enlightener (170)* - General - Command Traits: Loremaster - Artefacts of Power: Silver Wand - Spells: Etheral Blessings, Overwhelming Heat, Protection of Hysh BATTLELINE Vanari Bladelords (260)* - Bladelord Seneschal Vanari Bladelords (260)** - Bladelord Seneschal Vanari Bladelords (260)** - Bladelord Seneschal ARTILLERY Vanari Starshard Ballistas (130)* OTHER Vanari Auralan Sentinels (300)* - High Sentinel - Spells: Speed of Hysh ENDLESS SPELLS & INVOCATIONS 1 x Hyshian Twinstones (50) CORE BATTALIONS *Battle Regiment **Bounty Hunters TOTAL POINTS: 1970/2000

If your dicing with getting wind chargers do it I thoroughly reccomend it for a fun and different style of play, for the past year I've been playing around with a list something along the lines of 3x 10 wind chargers(previously hunters of hearthland changed to bounty hunters) 2 x 5 Dawn riders, sevireth, cathallar, loreseeker and a windmage, was alot of fun in a helon list, Good against most, hit walls vs things like beastclaws or sons, lots of fun though still All I've got to say is positioning is vital, even more so now where you can't pop a command ability to run after fighting (goodbye days of using the fox turn 1 like a 48" move yo yo to strike and assassinate a hero, then charge something that won't kill it and retreat back to where it started) With the ability to negate wards on shooting and the 6" for an additional attack rather than 3" in helon they're definitely worth considering Disclaimer - painting 30 windchargers is torture, be fully aware of what your getting

- Army Faction: Lumineth Realm-lords - Subfaction: Helon - Grand Strategy: No place for the weak (kill all opponents battleline) - Triumph: Inspired LEADERS Sevireth (345)** Hurakan Windmage (120)** - Spells: Guiding Flurries Scinari Cathallar (110)** - Artefacts of Power: Silver Wand - Spells: Total Eclipse Scinari Loreseeker (170)** - General Command trait - skyrace Grand Champion Artefact metalith dust - Spells: Lambent Light BATTLELINE 10x Hurakan Windchargers (310)* - Windspeaker Seneschal - Standard Bearer 10x Hurakan Windchargers (310)* - Windspeaker Seneschal - Standard Bearer 10x Hurakan Windchargers (310)* - Standard Bearer - Windspeaker Seneschal OTHER 5x Vanari Dawnriders (140)** - Steedmaster - Standard Bearer - Spells: Solar Flare 5x Vanari Dawnriders (140)** - Standard Bearer - Steedmaster - Spells: Speed of Hysh TERRAIN 1 x Shrine Luminor (0) CORE BATTALIONS *bounty hunter ** warlord - Magnificent May also swap the loreseeker for the Lord Regent or lyrior, but undecided at the moment TOTAL POINTS: 1955

Got 5 more dawnriders left to paint after the roos are done... but then my fully mounted helon list will be complete

Am whole heartedly regretting trying to batch paint, 20 wind chargers at once

damn forgot about that XD ok two units of 4 and the unit of 30 storm vermin have edited it

its more interesting but i think the stormvermin would be a softer target, if your against other people fielding bounty hunters every hit that gets through on your stormvermin would be at least two dead rats as the stormvermin are veterans aswell, or you could combine both possibly and have something like this leaders - 415pts Greyseer - 125pts clawlord - 110pts master moulder - 90pts master moulder - 90pts battleline - 965pts 4x rat ogor - 280pts (bounty hunter) 4x rat ogor - 280pts (bounty hunter) 30 x stormvermin - 405pts (bounty hunter) Behemoth Hellpit abomination - 245 other - stormfiends - 320

theres always the option to take two units of 6 rat ogors as a bounty hunter battalion for the lovely 3damage attacks with exploding 6's that can be buffed up to hit and wound on 2's, if you want to turn some rats into bounty hunters

Been playing something similar over the past year and generally does pretty well in friendly games, haven't taken it to a tourney yet though because the gold trim is sucking out my soul and I've been putting off finishing it. It can come across difficulties when fighting walls like nurgle or fast/ alpha strike lists like deepkin or stormcast. Didn't realise you could only have one Bounty Hunter battalion will shift the dawnriders and heroes into a Warlord battalion, and yup realised its only in melee but a unit of 10 windchargers has 30 melee attacks, so 90 attacks across all three units combined with the plus 1 damage that's 180potential damage in melee with an additional 60 at range, they should be able to chew things up quite nicely

Going to a tourney in Portsmouth 1st weekend in August list I shall be bringing is - Army Faction: Lumineth Realm-lords - Subfaction: Helon - Grand Strategy: No place for the weak (kill all opponents battleline) - Triumph: Inspired LEADERS Sevireth (345)*** Hurakan Windmage (120)*** - Spells: Guiding Flurries Scinari Cathallar (110)*** - Artefacts of Power: Silver Wand - Spells: Total Eclipse Scinari Loreseeker (170)*** - General Command trait - skyrace Grand Champion Artefact metalith dust - Spells: Lambent Light BATTLELINE 10x Hurakan Windchargers (310)* - Windspeaker Seneschal - Standard Bearer 10x Hurakan Windchargers (310)* - Windspeaker Seneschal - Standard Bearer 10x Hurakan Windchargers (310)* - Standard Bearer - Windspeaker Seneschal OTHER 5x Vanari Dawnriders (140)** - Steedmaster - Standard Bearer - Spells: Solar Flare 5x Vanari Dawnriders (140)** - Standard Bearer - Steedmaster - Spells: Speed of Hysh TERRAIN 1 x Shrine Luminor (0) CORE BATTALIONS *bounty hunter ** bounty hunter ***command entourage - Magnificent TOTAL POINTS: 1955/2000 Have updated list to allow for point changes and that the scinari loreseeker is no longer unique. And for the new bounty hunter Battalions Goal for my games will be to use the high speed and +1 damage (plush sheer weight and number of attacks) on the bounty hunter units to roll through the new veteran units. I won't have any veterans myself so going second could prove difficult as I won't be able to take any objectives they turn off, but hopefully if I hit em fast and hard enough I can remove most battleline options before they can regroup and can then focus on board control and harassing larger models and heroes Comments and criticisms welcome if anyone can think of tweaks

the wording is "can only be picked as the target of a shooting attack if they are the closest target to the attacking model" so if its a unit of 10 models shooting and half are closer to one unit and the other half are closer to a different unit they have to split their attacks and cannot pick one unit over the other as the wording specifies the attacking model.

trying to work on a list with as many buff's/debuffs as possible here's what I've got to so far can anyone think of any tips to tweak this was considering dropping the reavers to take it up to 2 units of 20 thralls but not fully decided yet, list did well against a paladin and annihalator heavy alpha strike stormcast list earlier this week, but its up against nurgle this weekend so could be an interesting test for it

thank you

not sure on the illiatha or zaitrec ideas as have not really delved into them yet. Theres positives and negatives to having everything as battleline, if everything is battleline you have a better chance of scoring the hold the line grand strategy (but if zaitrec or syar you may be better off with prized sorcery), but everything as battle line also makes it much easier for your target to score broken ranks against you as it gives them alot more options to pick from. on the wind chargers you can definately do this, one of the good things they have is the ability to, not have to finish a pile in at least as close to the closest unit, which means you can charge and slingshot onto a unit behind (great for avoiding screens), or charge and hop over a unit avoiding the combat altogether to make an attempt at an objective that's being screened off.

hey @Gaz Taylor this thread is quite old but if name changes are still available can you change my name to "undeadheadz"
