2250pts Tournament List

[Thanee]

What do you think about this?

Tournament has some restrictions (like you cannot use more than 8 PD in a single magic phase (bound spells also account for one PD each, but PD used to cast Power of Darkness and the likes do not count against the limit), not the same Rare choice twice (2:1 count as one), not the same Special choice thrice, no more than 3 flying units/characters, no more than 4 warmachines, ...).

Hey

Nice rounded list, i would however make some changes.

I would drop the musicians on the RXBmen, and the shield on the master to get him a Dark Steed.

I would also drop the second unit of CoK and 2 BG for 2 Chariots or a Chariot and a unit of Shades.

[Thanee]

The Master has a greatweapon, hence no mount. He will stay with the BG.

The Shield and the two Musicians you mentioned were put in only because I had 12 pts left, BTW.

I also thought about Chariots. They usually served me well.

Hmm... maybe drop the 2nd COK, the Shield, the two Musicians, and 1 BG for two COC.

The reason the mentioned the steed is because the PoK-BSB is often used to hunt Flamers and the like, where the extra movement is paramount. Many people still use the Soulrender on a mounted PoK-BSB as it gives an extra -1 AS over SoM.

Its something you should consider, movement 18" and +1AS makes him a whole lot more useful.

[Druchii77]

I would agree that mounting your BSB makes him very versatile. With hatred, a BSB stands a very good chance or winning against such units as wraiths or flamers.

[Mordru]

I like the second list much better. I would be tempted to drop one more BG and the Dread knight from the CoKs and instead bump them to 6 models. You get a significantly more durable CoK unit from that switch. The unit can take one or two casualties and still be combat effective.

[Thanee]

I see what you mean with the dark steed, but it's still a trade-off (this way he is better against all the T4 / cav units - and those are a lot more common; there are likely to be no Daemon armies around and with the restrictions for magic, Vampire Counts are also kinda hampered).

Also, of course, I do not have a dark steed mounted BSB.

I don't really want to lower the BG further (they are, after all, my main combat unit and have to stay effective as long as possible), so I guess I will keep it that way.
