Assuming this is a TAC list then in the Breakpoint scenario you lose the Chariots, BSB or your General and auto lose (or at least can no longer win).<br /><br />Do you really think two Level 4's are going to be worth it, its basically impossible to support more than one Level 4 without some way to get extra dice. I've run double Slann (just barely possible at 2400pts) and found that you really struggle to use them effectively because even with Rumination (admittedly only on one of them, at 2500pts you get it on both) you don't get enough dice. This is playing without any of the comp/hard cap restrictions on dice per phase which are present at every tournament which would make it even harder to make 2 Level 4's work. If nothing else you are going to double the length of your magic phase because you have twice as many spells to pick.<br /><br />There is plenty of nasty stuff in this list, but its also got plenty of vulnerable VPs. Those Archer blocks aren't exactly the safest places to put your Level 4's and BSB.Powerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03734811960832727828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-57264641351548187072011-08-18T15:06:30.848+12:002011-08-18T15:06:30.848+12:00Hi Pete,

Can I ask a few questions:<br /><br />No standards (or command) on the archers?<br /><br />With the BSB fast reform, I assume this is to re-align the archers (in a 10 x 2 formation) against a new target rather than reform them into a deeper formation (say 5 x 4) for combat?<br /><br />What base sizes are Tomb Scorpions and Carrion these days? 40x40?<br /><br />Where will your liche priests be located?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Bryan.Bryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-22647573156978811582011-08-18T13:19:47.925+12:002011-08-18T13:19:47.925+12:00That's cool James.....each to his own.
