    Hallowheart (human) list, any suggestions?

    in Cities of Sigmar

    It's 3 to 6 wizards in the battalion.

     

    All wizards in the battalion will get the bonus to cast and unbind. So if you can fit 4-5 wizards in there you'll get more out of spending points on the battalion.

    The list I am running with has 1 battlemage, 1 sorceres, 1 Celestial Hurricanum, 1 Knight-Incantor.

    Ah I see, will see if I can adjust this list a bit, the Knight-Incantor is especially a nice choice I was looking at

    I think your list might be a little all over the place with the synergies.

    If you want the moving melee castle I would probably run this army as Tempest Eye or Hammerhal

    Perhaps you want more wizards to benefit from your battalion

    Hurricanum is great with a lot of shooting, you don’t have that much.

    I would not make the greatswords your retinue. That is an expensive sacrificial unit. 

    Eternal Guard is probably even better at the role your sequitor is filing, if you have the models

    You have a lot of drops and a lot of battleline units

     

    Your list might work just fine. I’m a noob, so don’t take my advice too much to heart. Perhaps go check the city specific forum threads for inspiration 

     

     

    Thanks for the suggestions, retinue should probably go on the guard then (as I don't have anything outside The Empire and Stormcast).. Wasn't able to play with it just yet past weekend (other games got in the way)

    Not sure what you mean on more wizards benefitting from the battalion?.. It's 3 right?

    I might be able to get a bit more shooting in to get one of the bonusses of the Hurricanum working for me. And I'll keep on looking at the specific thread for more ideas.

    I'd put Ignax Scales (4+ mortal wound save) on the Hurricanum to help negate the Arcane Channeling mortals and boost all the spell casting by D6.

    I also pretty much auto include the Umbral Spellportal in my lists (the other end can be placed ANYWHERE on the map when cast from Cities). Very useful to nuke hordes or put an endless spell thru to anywhere you want.

    Ah thanks, good points. Though the Umbral Spell Portal is 70 points so that would take out the Pendulum and Palisade. Or should I opt for something different to the Sequitors?

    And I see some choose the Knight-Incantor as an option also (don't have the SCE endless spells yet though, so not sure how viable he is then besides the comet is 100 points so something other would need to be dumped also)

    So I made this list on a short view of the battletome where Hallowheart took my interest. 

    As an old Empire and afterwards Freeguild player I wanted to build around my human models (of which I got several but might be lacking in numbers on some like crossbows (just 10) as I never expanded on my collection during the AoS period as I wanted to wait for this book (and got involved in SCE in the start, so I got some from gen 1 SCE, missed gen 2 and got a start on gen3 (sacrosanct) and could merge some of those in)

    I'm not really into knowing all the finer details on how to perfect a build, but this is atleast something I have models for and am going to try out coming weekend

    Allegiance: Cities of Sigmar
    - City: Hallowheart

    Leaders
    Celestial Hurricanum With Celestial Battlemage (280)
    - Spell: Lore of Whitefire - Sear Wounds (Hallowheart Wizard)
    - Hallowheart 2nd Spell: Warding Brand
    Battlemage (90)
    - Artefact: Whitefire Tome - All Spells
    - Mortal Realm: Aqshy
    Battlemage (90)
    - Spell: Lore of Whitefire - Elemental Cyclone (Hallowheart Wizard)
    - Hallowheart 2nd Spell: Sear Wounds
    - Mortal Realm: Azyr
    Freeguild General (100)
    - General
    - Trait: Warden of the Flame
    - Artefact: Agloraxi Prism
    Freeguild General on Griffon (320)
    - Shield & Greathammer

    Battleline
    20 x Freeguild Guard (160)
    - Swords and Shields
    20 x Freeguild Greatswords (320)
    - City Role: Honoured Retinue (Must be 5-20 models)
    10 x Freeguild Crossbowmen (100)
    3 x Demigryph Knights (180)
    - Lance and Sword

    Units
    5 x Sequitors (130)
    - Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields
    - 3x Stormsmite Greatmaces

    Battalions
    Whitefire Retinue (140)

    Endless Spells / Terrain / CPs
    Aethervoid Pendulum (50)
    Malevolent Maelstrom (10)
    Prismatic Palisade (30)

    Total: 2000 / 2000
    Extra Command Points: 1
    Allies: 0 / 400
    Wounds: 111
     

    My idea behind this is to have a castle kind of idea that can move up mid board posing a thread, supported by the mages (Prismatic palisade could block one nasty shooting unit to give me some extra options) by keeping them up and running while they do also the MW output to get stuff down, while my Griffon Geeneral and Demigryphs could go hunting and the Sequitors go babysit an objective outside my bubble

    I'm not completly sure that I got the spells right as I listed them the first time as I'm at work rebuilding the list and don't have my initial list with me.

    So what do you guys think?

    I'm looking for some advice for Realm choice. I'm looking at starting a Free Guild army as a side project from the Hedonites army I'm working on (to eventually become a main project once I finish the Hedonites), and I want to base them on the old Nordland color scheme and lore, but I'm stuck trying to think which realm might fit them the best. The old Nordland was stuck between two forests and jutting up against the sea, so I was thinking Ghur (especially since they're woodsman) but I'm looking for second opinions because I'm not sure if that really is the best fit.

    My initial thought would be Ghyran,  lots of wooded area's and enough water type zones, and the brighter color scheme against darker growth would be a nice contrast

    Yes, i had a few chats with some friends in my hobby group, and they mostly think that the stormhosts are just like "lores" so I guess I'm just weird. :(

    Yes I have a Salamanders Space Marine army and think of it the same way. The thought of playing them as a different chapter is completely unthinkable to me... I am curious what the new GHB will have in store as well. The pessimistic part of me feels we will be ignored again... but who knows.

    I have the same thing.. I painted my SCE as Knights of the Aurora.. and by that I "could" take any stormhost rules as my own as my colorscheme won't match any of them. But I named my stormhost.. thought about a narrative for my stormhost and I can't just bring myself to use any other stormhosts rule as that would be an infringement of my own induced lore I have.

    Same goes for my Sa'cea Sept for T'au... I wanted to utilize some T'au Sept detachments as well.. so guess what: now I'm painting T'au Sept patterns..

    Did Franz even have rules for his Dragon in 8th ed ? Cause I know that's when they bought out the Griffon kit that could make Karl Franz and GW don't like doubling up kits.

    Good point.. I have to dig out my 8th ed Empire book for that to figure out.. It's been way to long since I really really did something with my Empire army besides the sporadic battle here and there as a Free People army

    Oh I have parts of those lying around I think. Dang, that was a long time ago. Totally forgot about them. Wasn't it a bretonnian vs something set?Wasn't that also the starter set with book, dice, templates measure stick (of which I still use two!, it's quite hard to run into a measuring anything in Holland with inches on them)

    Brettonian vs Lizardmen! Was my first starter set :)

    It contained a card guard tower, house (which I unfortunatly don't have anymore) and a shack

    Hey! Anton hier, 33 uit Siddeburen (vlakbij Groningen).
    Ben druk bezig met het schilderen van de starterset. dus gamen zal bij mij ook nog wel een tijdje duren.

    Nu eerst maar de focus gelegd op het maken van 2 warbands voor skirmish.

    Als je zover bent kunnen we misschien een keer op een zaterdag afspreken in de GW shop in Groningen?

    Concerning the validation of "missing" battalion scrolls as I see it: the whole Matched play points list in the SE (new) book invalidates the whole GHB v1.0 lists of SE and SE Extremis. In my opinion any other reasoning is just rules lawyering to keep your hopes up on keeping out of balance stuff viable

    Yeah but even so why would you ever not take it on a disc? Being on the disc is better in every way the fact that they cost the same points notwithstanding.

    aesthetic value or campaign driven, at first they need to earn the disc?

    So gryph chargers are half horse / half eagle like?

    I'm not to fond of the double tail thing and the back hooves on that one to be honest, and the color scheme might be a bit off for a good impression for me.

     

    the leaked picture are the eatherwing then?

    I'm going to assume that the Gryph-Chargers are going to be Stormcast hunter cavalry, i think that would fit with one of the previous rumour pics we've seen. Which mean they prob won't replace the demigryph's as they are human cav...I hope.

    It would give both factions an interlinking part
