Played against a Skaven player yesterday and learned a bunch more. Re-jigging the list so that the Manticore doesn't have to be as exposed to give me Ring of Hotek protection:

I really wanted to get a Sword of Might on the Master, just for magical attacks, but it simply doesn't fit. The other big change is that the Lord no longer regenerates, so he's not quite as cannon proof as he was before, but generally you don't need that much, and the master is a bit better off. I may switch it back between the two of them after some more play testing.

Also, after a tiny bit more work I should have a project log of this army up, I've got quite a few conversions on it and honestly once this thing gets painted, assuming I can do it justice, it should look amazing on the table.

Any updates on how your force is performing on the table?

Looks good

Might want to lose a group of Harpies and boast your Cold One Knights especially the one with the Ring of Hotek to 6 strong.

One of the downfalls of putting the Ring of Hotek on a champion is if they can be picked out by like Lore of Metal level 1 or Hochland Long Rifles or the unit is charged and challenged.

So far I'm 2 and 2, (technically 3-1, but the one win was so due to lucky dice that I really should count it as a loss).

This was before I moved the ring out onto a champ, but I should hopefully get a game in tomorrow to give me a good idea on how the tweaked list performs.

As far as the harpies, well I really think if anything the way to make the list perform better is to drop one or both chariots and add some harpies and maybe some shooting, but it breaks the theme and removes some badass models I've built.

At this point I'm finding that I'm more attached to the models than I am to the list, so I don't care as much if it doesn't win, I'm just going to try and play my ass off and see what I can learn with it.

This would of course require I stop playing WM and get more games of WHFB in....

Really weak on the magic defense. I find it really hard to play an army like that for the win.

So Leith, what would you do?

You know, WWLD?
