Hello Guys and Gals,
First things first: english is not my native language, so I'm sorry if I'm butchering every sentence I write. 😉
I'm very new to the hobby in general but the Living City has caught my eye. I'm a big fan of the Kurnoth Hunters, Stormcast Cavalry and the Aesthetics of both in general, but pure Sylvaneth or Stormcast seems a bit boring to me (too much of the same wood or golden armour)... Moreover I like the style and fantasy of a big, nice... well... Living City. THERE IS SOOO MUCH STUFF!!!
So this is the list i was thinking of. We are trying to play 1750 points.
Allegiance: Cities of Sigmar- Stronghold: Living CityMortal Realm: Ghyran
Freeguild General (100)- GeneralBattlemage (90)- Adjutant10 x Freeguild Crossbowmen (100)- Retinue10 x Freeguild Handgunners (100)10 x Freeguild Handgunners (100)
3 x Evocators on Dracolines (260)4 x Fulminators (480)6 x Kurnoth Hunters (400)
Total: 1630 / 1750
So, in the case this is not a total desaster, this list leaves me with 120 points open. Not decided on any Artefacts yet...
General ideas:
The General should be in the back, supporting the three ranged units. Maybe this block as a gradually advancing "shooting wall". The Crossbowmen are there to plink at the enemy to maybe goad them into the range of the gunners. Don't know how realistic that is.
I guess it would make sense to have a support hero to help the deepstriking Fulminators and Evocators (I know, they are not optimal because they cannot shoot), but which one?
I had my eye on a Knight-Venator, but he is not allowed as I already have 2 Stormcast units...
Or should I forego the support hero for the deep strike and take a unit of Longbeards as retinue to the general? Or maybe the Kurnoth? Or maybe split the Kurnoth into two units and take a Arch-Revenant as hero to buff them?
You see, I have many questions and hopefully you have some answers for me. All criticism and tips will of course be very much appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance!
