2500pt West Coast GT List
Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2015 3:40 pm
So I went to the WCGT last year (Mission Viejo, CA if you're interested!) and had a complete blast, but battle-wise I got facerolled. I attribute this mostly to the fact I'm not very experienced, but I also took a 15.5 comp list with DE, which was supper fluffy and could only sneeze at most armies. Granted, I never was 0-20, but my average score was less than 8. This year, I'm looking to have fun and learn a thing or two with a competent army that's not run-of-the-mill.
A bit on the comp - your Swedish Comp score is used for your first 2 (out of 5) matchups in the tournament. It's also doubled and added to your overall score. For example, I have a comp score of 10, I would play other armies with 10 comp for the first two games, and I would get 20 points (out of a cap of 30) added to my overall score. This is equivalent to one 20 - 0 win! My opinion is, while comp does affect your score, it's not enough to motivate me to bring a fluffy army.
So here's my list so far:
Swedish Comp - v1.14.2: 9.7
Total Roster Cost: 2499
Dreadlord (2#, 564 pts)
1 Dreadlord, 164 pts = (base cost 140 + Lance 7 + Heavy Armour 6 + Sea Dragon Cloak 8 + Shield 3)
1 Ogre Blade, 40 pts
1 Talisman of Preservation, 45 pts
1 The Other Trickster's Shard, 15 pts
1 Black Dragon, 300 pts
Master (2#, 188 pts)
1 Master, 88 pts = (base cost 70 + Lance 6 + Heavy Armour 4 + Sea Dragon Cloak 6 + Shield 2)
1 Cloak of Twilight, 50 pts
1 Dark Pegasus, 50 pts
Death Hag (3#, 300 pts)
1 Death Hag, 110 pts = (base cost 85 + Battle Standard Bearer 25)
1 Cauldron of Blood, 190 pts
Witch Elves (30#, 405 pts)
29 Witch Elves, 339 pts = 29 * 11 (base cost 11) + Musician Mus 10 + Standard Bearer Std 10
1 Hag, 21 pts
1 Razor Standard, 45 pts
Dark Riders (5#, 110 pts)
5 Dark Riders, 110 pts = 5 * 20 (base cost 16 + Repeater Crossbow 3 + Shield 1) + Musician Mus 10
Dark Riders (5#, 110 pts)
5 Dark Riders, 110 pts = 5 * 20 (base cost 16 + Repeater Crossbow 3 + Shield 1) + Musician Mus 10
Cold One Knights (10#, 345 pts)
9 Cold One Knights, 290 pts = 9 * 30 (base cost 30) + Musician Mus 10 + Standard Bearer Std 10
1 Dread Knight, 40 pts
1 Standard of Discipline, 15 pts
Shades (9#, 172 pts)
9 Shades, 172 pts = 9 * 18 (base cost 16 + Great Weapon 2) + Standard Bearer Std 10
Doomfire Warlocks (5#, 125 pts)
5 Doomfire Warlocks, 125 pts = 5 * 25
War Hydra (1#, 180 pts)
1 War Hydra, 180 pts = (base cost 160 + Fiery Breath 20)
My thoughts on alterations (I would love to hear yours!):
- Swap out hydra for kharibdyss and flame banner on shades. This gives me more versatility towards 1+ rerollable saves and regen.
- Swap out brolocks for a level 2 on a cold one with shadow. She will likely die when she gets in combat, but it saves a LOT in comp (would bring me up to an 11)
Thanks for your feedback!
