Lord of the Isle

Ok, rethink led me to Har Kuron! After much soul searching, FG crossbows dropped and my most piratey looking humans will proxy as combat Corsairs LEADERS Black Ark Fleetmaster, General, Murderous Zeal, Lifetaker Sorceress on Black Dragon, Shadow Daggers, Sword of Ghrond, Traitor’s Banner Sorceress, Vitriolic Spray (All Warlord Battalion) Allied Tidecaster (Battle Regiment Battalion) BATTLELINE Corsairs x20, blades (Warlord battalion) Darkshards (Warlord battalion) Corsairs, handbows OTHERS Executioners (Hunters of the Heartlands battalion) Drakespawn Knights (H of the H) Shadow Warriors (H of the H) 2 x Doomfire Warlocks Khainite Shadowstalkers ALLIES Namarti Thralls Allopex (both Battle Regiment battalion)

Ok so here’s a go - LEADERS Sorceress (General) Sorceress on Black Dragon Assassin (Adjutant) Allied Tidecaster BATTLELINE Darkshards Freeguild Crossbows Freeguild Guard Executioners (Honoured Retinue) OTHERS Corsairs Drakespawn Knights Shadow Warriors 2 x Dark Riders Freeguild Greatswords ALLIES Namarti Thralls Allopex It comes to 2000. I’m thinking Misthavn for the flanking (but average magic), Anvilgard Black Market for the extra loot. Thoughts?

Sounds like a Misthavn plan to me!

I have amassed a miscellaneous ton of fantasy and AoS now and would love to use as much of it as possible in the same army! I have - the makings of a fair quantity of Freeguild - crossbows, handguns, guard, greatswords Shadow Warriors, Darkshards, some handbow Corsairs Some Bretonnian Questing Knights A classic Manticore w various possible riders. Could star as Griffin, Phoenix, even titchy black dragon?! Old HE Swordmasters - considering using them as themselves via Eldritch Council FAQ, as Executioners or Bladelords DoK - 10 Doomfire Warlocks, Shadowstalkers IDK - Thrallmaster, Tidecaster, Thralls, Allopex A big selection of elven and human foot heroes including a Calligrave Would love advice as to what City / build would be best for taking as much as the above as possible at 2000 pts

I agree that the popularisation of 3 types seems unhelpful in its effects. Back in 6th it felt like everyone was interested both in lore and rules, now the general vibe often seems one or the other Might also be a result of less characterful mad lore-based comedy rules? Less elaborate magic items etc customisation? More emphasis on nigh on compulsory special characters?

I was on a lot of Warhammer forums mostly in 6th edition and there was far more lore discussion and far more writing, both fiction and narrative battle/campaign reports. I think one of the paradoxes of a looser setting is it makes people’s stories less mutually engaged, and technology has also played a role…

It’s interesting that so many of you answer 100% narrative (so would I, 1000%) and yet most discussion here focuses on rules / tactics / combos Coming back to the hobby after a 15 year hiatus, I wonder if the shift from narrative written to video battle reports has at least something to answer for?

Must say don’t think Nippon is in any way an innately less original name than Cathay…or indeed Araby, Sylvania or the Empire, with Bretonnia, Tilea and Estalia not far behind…

Yes but less cool

Something amuses me about the lone Scourgerunner chariot’s crew snarking at all the shiny aelves Are SG artefacts still maddeningly just for Collegiate not the general?

Undoubtedly cool and thematic!!

And it’s definitely thematic, currently at least!

I think that list just looks so cool and thematic. Shadowstalkers, Idoneth allies, just wow. Suspect not necessarily competitive but tbh when at this level of interesting and unusual who cares!!!
