Trying to fit together a list after being out of the scene for a while, and reading through some of the changes that other armies have is just...disgusting, so that got me to thinking of what I could throw in, take out, or modify in what I have.

So far

  • Tyrant - Sword of Striking, Greedy Fist, Enc. Shield, OTS, Giantbreaker (gen)
  • Firebelly1 - Lv.2, D. scroll
  • Firebelly2 - Lv.2
  • Bruiser - BSB, Great weapon, HA, 4+ ward
  • 8x Ironguts - Full command, banner of Disc.
  • 9x Bulls - Full command
  • 3x solitary Sabretusks
  • 4x Mournfang - Musician, Standard, Dragonhide banner, HA, IF, HW
  • 6x Maneaters - LA, Brace of Pistols, Standard, Flaming banner; BTDT: Poison/Sniper
  • Thundertusk
This leaves me about 180~ish points to screw around with.  I like this build, because like some folks around here I don't enjoy dropping 400 or so points into a level 4 wizard, who happens to be my general, and have him explode or get him sucked into the warp and there goes my magic phase.  I'm trying to get some feedback on what to change; frontrank of ME's with pistols, back rank with great weapons?  Use the extra points for a cannon? Try to fit a second TTusk?

I dunno, but I'm all ears!
I would vote for an ironblaster to round out the list.  Gives you a much needed shooting counter to some big nasties 24" away from the Maneaters.  Perhaps even drop the great weapon from the Bsb and give the fire bellies some stick.

Yeah I've had a lot of people tell me that an Ironblaster is a worthy addition...but god help me if every time I've used that thing that it turns itself into a chariot  but not before sticking the cannonball into the ground an inch in front of the target I was aiming at in the first place.
