I assume the plagueclaw is a no no because of ally restrictions between pestilend and skryre? Thought everthing was gonna be skaventide, but I guess that is a different allegiance.
I would have wanted a third cannon rather than the plagueclaw but built it from the SC kit over a year ago. I might see if I can trade it or get another cannon cheaply.
The idea was definitely to try and hide the acolytes behind the other things to move the bell up as much as possible before they die. And yes, the stormfiends can help move the bell if needed in later turns. I'm kind of in agreement more acolytes would be better but you start to wonder if clanrats might be a superior option to move the bell if your need is just bodies.
I'd want 20 acolytes but like the plagueclaw theyre already built as monks and some will be more difficult to convert than worth the effort for now. Might be able to squeeze more acolytes from the other kits. Will have to give it a try and see what the right number is.
I'm breaking from my yearly goals for this army, 30 models for 2000 points, thats new to me.
@ZinnarI would love some advise on how to equip the stormfiends for this type of list. I was thinking you'd want them up in their face as a distraction early but potentionally supporting the bell in later turns.
