The plan is for a White Lion heavy list. They really are my favorite unit. And today there is a great new article on Games Workshop's website with the Color's of Ulthuan. I was already thinking about a nice red and gold color scheme for my army. But the article makes it perfect to run them as Aryth Pass Guard! The Aryth Pass is one of the secret pathways through the mountains of Chrace, and the 4th Company of the Aryth Pass Guard's color's are red!
As for a preliminary army, take a look at this and please critique. This is to fit with the Chrace and the 4th Company Aryth Pass Guard.
290 Archmage, level 4 Shadow, seerstaff of saphery (mindrazor, pit of shades, miasma, withering)
184 Noble, bsb, dragon armor, great weapon, banner of the world dragon
145 Noble, barded steed, dragon armor, great weapon, potion of strength, dragonhelm
335 25 Lothern Sea Guard, full command, banner of eternal flame
295 30 Spearmen, full command
480 30 White Lions, full command
380 20 Phoenix Guard, full command, banner of sorcery
200 5 Dragon Princes, full command
140 Lion Chariot
050 Great Eagle
2499
I would add more eagles. Even if there are no warmachines to hunt, they are great to force people to accept charges. A few 22 inch chargers can catch fleeing units or at the minimum force them to run a 2nd time, perhaps off the board edge.
ReplyDeleteFull command on a 5 elf Dragon Prince unit is probably a waste of points. I would rather have 6 of them with a musician. 6 with a Musician is actually 10 points cheaper too.
ReplyDeleteI don't really like units of White Lions larger than 20-ish models. Only 2 ranks can fight and they are pretty expensive. I find that 20 and 30 feel pretty similar on the table. Now if you were planning on running them as a horde, that is an interesting idea. Let me know how it works out for ya.
