Hello mates!
2-3 years ago I got back to my childhood hobby (stopped playing back at 6th ed). Even though the AoS tragic, my focus was clear, WFB is the only way.
So during this time I have painted and collected, mainly second hand miniatures. But now the pandemic is coming to an end, and soon it is time here to reach out to some gaming groups.
Version: 8th ed (but if someone want to play 6th, who am I to deny them?)
Focus: To have a fun time for me and my opponent
Problem: Want to avoid a boring list. I will mainly go for units I like, but like my list to have potential. Would also be nice to have a priority when painting.
Goal: First get a 1000 pts list, then 2000 pts.
Question: Is this to range heavy? I really like the Phoenix guard with their survivability. And the army have a decent amount of S4 attacks. At these low points I feel quite comfortable with ld 8. And I should win the chaff war to increase my chances to control the movement.
Painted:
Mage
12 Spearmen
11 Archer
5 Ellyrian reavers
1 Repeater bolt thrower
15 swordmasters
1 Great eagle
10 Lothern seaguard
Unpainted (bold are my priority order)
20 Phoenix Guard
10 Sisters of avelorn
20 Lothern seaguard
1 Great eagle
2 bolt throwers
2 Repeater bolt thrower
3-4 Nobles including bsb
