2500 13.5 SWEDE 2xHunter

original thread ↗

Howdy all,

While I'm not sure what Warhammer will be in the next iteration, I'm hankering for some good news. I've been playing an aggressive BT Deamon list for a bit with moderate success and want something a bit different.

General-
SM, L4 Heavens, Earthing Rod, Gnoblar Thiefstone

BSB- HV, Warrior Bane, Talisman of Protection

Butcher- L1 Maw, Scroll of Shielding

Hunter- Harpoon Launcher, Dragonhelm, IF

Hunter- Harpoon Launcher, Dragonbane Gem, Ench Shield

10 Gnob- Trappers

6 Ironguts- FC, Standard of Disc

6 Ogres- FC, IF

4 Leadbelchers

5 Maneaters- Mus, Flaming Banner, BoP, HV, Poison, Stubborn

Sabertusk

Iron Blaster

Gunline-y, but has some interesting tricks with the flanks due to the Hunterbows, though they can be deployed centrally if harmonic is rolled for a very strong shooting phase. I have to fiddle with deployment as it's a lot to keep in a bubble, but the Maneaters and Hunters both have a degree of independence. Thiefstone is a trick I don't see often, but I think fits well here as MR protection is nice on the guts and the potential to steal something from an uber-character and leave it open for shooting and heavens magic.

At 13.5, it'll generally start ahead or close to it and should be able to whittle down targets quickly, especially high price ones with the Hunter's D3 wound shots.

At least, that's the idea. Any commentary?
The list looks interesting.

I would be tempted to go Charmed Shield on 1 hunter instead of Enchanted for cannonball protection but I guess this is personal taste.

Are you playing with this list soon? I would love to see how it fares in a few games :)

Their tears will be a perfect addition to the Butcher's cauldron.
How about the Shield of Ptolos on a hunter? The list seems very character heavy and very low model count even for Ogres
