2000pts of fun (or annoyance)

original thread ↗

Tonight I played a dual Thundertusk list with great success!
 
While on the topic of fun lists I have came up with two more I would like to try.
Having a laugh with some mates about the uses of Gnoblar trappers I have decided to base two lists around them! Yes, that's right two 2000pts lists with only Gnoblars as core!
Obviously this will revolve around 10 units of 10 trappers.
 
Lord - 335pts
Slaughter Master - 335pts
Level 4, Talisman of Preservation, Lore of Beasts
 
Hero - 160pts
Butcher - 160pts
Level 2, Dispel Scroll, Lore of the Great Maw
 
Core - 605pts
11x 10 Gnoblar Trappers - 605pts
Groin biters
 
Special - 559pts
4x Leadies - 172pts
3x Leadies - 129pts
3x Leadies - 129pts
3x Leadies - 129pts
 
Rare -
Iron Blaster - 170pts
Iron Blaster - 170pts
Total - 1994pts
 
Yes you are reading this correctly ;)
Idea is I will conga line my Gnoblars and have them positioned so that a charge will only hit one unit and have a 1" over run into the next for maximum dangerous terrain tests! My SM with Beasts will stand in amongst the units (since they don't cause panic to him) and cast spells from the Beasts lore while being safe from combat. Pans pelt + Beast of Horros both affect Gnoblar Groin biters, just for the sheer comedy of it!
T6 Gnoblar? S5 A5 Gnoblar? lol!
I by no means expect to win, just annoy the hell out of my buddy lol! The butcher is there just in cast I can get a bubble guts off on those conga lined Gnoblars for extra comedy :)
 
List 2#!
 
Lord - 375pts
Slaughter Master - 375pts
Level 4, Potion of Speed, Armour of Destiny, Fencers Blades
 
Hero - 187pts
Bruiser - 187pts
BsB, Additional Hand Weapon, Heavy Armour, Enchanted Shield, Talisman of Preservation

Core - 500pts
10x 10 Gnoblar Trappers - 500pts
 
Special - 704pts
16x Yhetees - 704pts
 
Rare - 250pts
Thundertusk - 250pts
 
Idea behind this one is a hoard of Yhetees, and the Thundertusk will make them attack first at I4 and Str 5. -1 WS is just a bonus. Swiftstride and M7 are going to be helpful since I will be flanking with this unit while my Gnoblars hold up my opponents entire army! Only problem is if I flank a unit in combat with the Gnoblars I will bleed 10 CR through them alone!
Anyway just some fun lists I put together tonight, after close inspection of the Yhetees I think I may have changed my mind on them, for 1pt more than an Irongut they get +1WS(equivalent) +1M, -1S, I4!, Magical attacks (useless), No impact hits. However I rarely get the charge anyway due to poor rolls, so Swiftstride will help in that department and the Bruiser + SM will still get them with +2S to the result!
 
Let me know what you think and which one you think would be most interesting to run.
My opponent has not and never will take the flaming banner because until how he has had no reason to. :)
I hope... lol!

Well obviously those are silly lists. Not sure there's anything worth critiquing, although I will note that you can only have three units of leadies, so the first list is illegal.
Thank you, forgot about that :(

Ran my Yhetee list against my mates WoC.
 
Yhetees being I4 with the Thundertusk beside them actually worked really well :)
I set up hard in one corner and my opponent followed suit :) So I set up my TT + Yhetees on the other flank leaving him facing 10x10 trappers :)
He rolled pretty poorly on the Dangerous terrain roles, but had to charge them because of positioning. In total his knights lost 6 due to charging the 3 units. He had MoK and had to over run into the next unit :P
Same with his chosen and Warriors. One turn he lost 7 warriors in a single charge :O
 
Anyway long story short by the time he had munched through my Gnoblars, I had picked off his chosen with my Yhetees and Thundertusk and the 4 Knights, Lord and warriors were left below half strength and out of position. He gave up :P
Over all a pretty lack luster game, did not enjoy it at all. Next time I run Yhetees I wont be using Gnoblars. Besides I think he is banning trappers from future games :P
