Thanks both, I really appreciate your wise guidance. Taking into account what you have both recommended, what do you think of this?
2000 points Anvils Of Heldenhammer:
LEADERS
Lord Arcanum on Dracoline - 220
- Pride Leader
Lord Aquilor - 180
BATTLELINE
3x5 Sequitors - 390
- all the greatmaces.
OTHER
9x longstrike Raptors - 510
2x3 Aetherwings - 100
6x Evocators on Dracoline - 600
This list hopefully deals with the prior lack of thump in terms of melee. It also adds two unbinds whilst keeping Aquilor to babysit the raptors.
Sequitors should manage being without Castellant better than liberators could for holding objectives.
My opponent should have limited options; deal with the scary cat evocators and Arcanum combo whilst being pelted by raptors or focus the raptors while the cats and Sequitors mop up.
I lost my extra CP though but could drop 3 Aetherwings to allow for more teleports/hero phase shooting. The Aetherwings are there to act as defence for the raptors should Aquilor need to support an objective.
What do you think guys? I feel more confident with the flexibility of this list, even if it does mean losing all the ballista goodness.. 9 drop now so hopefully more chance of first turn too.
Thanks again,
Goof.
