1.000 point list. I’m attending a small team charity tournament, 1.000 points (Vanguard) for each player. My friend is bringing ‘Big WAAAGH’, an Ardfist battalion with a lot of Ardboys and some spellcasters, so he basically wants to be as much in close combat as possible. The trick is that whenever at Ardboy regiment gets destroyed, he can spend a command point to see (4+) if he gets a new Ardboy regiment back, so the sooner some of his regiments dies, the better. With him bringing the bodies for close combat and some magic, I’m unsure on how I best complement his army list. Normally I would have gone for a big block of Gluttons with a butcher behind, but this might distract our enemies from killing the Ardboys fast, so I don’t think its worth getting into combat with large regiments. His weakness is mainly speed and therefore the objective game. My first though was to go for an all BCR with a FLoSH, a Stonehorn Beastrider and some Mournfangs, this would give me a lot of punching power and mobility, but with nothing to do while holding the objectives. This lead me to the following ideas: FLoSH (Ethereal Amulet) Skal Battalion: Icebrow Hunter 5 x 2 Frost sabres 1 x 2 Frost sabres 1 x 2 Frost sabres 1 x 2 Frost sabres 1 x 2 Frost sabres 2 drops, FLoSH because he hits like a truck and is quite tanky, meanwhile deep striking the Hunter and the large regiment of Frost Sabres, while the small units of Frost Sabres zone out enemy deep strikes and take objectives. Alternatively for some ranged support, which doesn’t really feel worth it without the Undergut tribe, but if I take them, then I’ll have to include a battalion if I want the artifact ‘Grusome Throphy Rack’ for the Iron Blasters, so its kinda meh so maybe I should just drop the Tyrant for a butcher and the Ironblasters for more Leadbelchers? Tyrant (Grusome Throphy Rack) 6 Leadbelchers 2 Ironblasters Skal Battalion: Icebrow Hunter 2 x 2 Frost sabres 1 x 2 Frost sabres Any other suggestions?
