So ya 260 marauders how do you like them apples?

Any thoughts on this list and also what would your reaction if you saw this across the table from you?

im hoping you would use Wulfric to fetch a 50man block on from the rear or flan hehe.
I love doing that to people

looking at all those marauders would be intimidating.

hmmmm makes me want to carry on making my Lustria marauder army

to Add real fluff id have a combat hero/lord i 1 of the blocks. Pass him off as your chieftain

My wife is going to hate this site youve rekindle my love of fluff armies

Haha wulfrik and 60 of his "home boys" will be most likely comming in from the back or rear since other than that there is no point in him

I would get the one from Avatars of war such a cool model

Anyways maybe use the bsb as the combat guy.

My god the amount of I smell from this list.... I would absolutley HATE to fight this list because it is soooo damn hard to fight, sure people can try and out manoveour the marauders but when they take up like 80% of the table width, gonna be kinda hard to do, but in good gamer fashion it would be a challenge worth accepting imo (especially if you can afford it) and don't forget about Ralin Givens, if he sees this thread you will not hear the end of how you 'converted' to a lumberjack of doom army before he 'converted' to a warrior army!

Haha not converted this may make him smile

I have not converted I love my warriors haha.

I was just thinking about how big this is on the table then for 3k just add another unit of 50 ish and or add another 40 marauders spread out through the units.

Muahaha deal with this.

Also could change out the tz to shadow sorcerer and spell familiar and then mess up units with drop your str and toughness then drop curse on the unt and watch it die I'm a terrible person I know.

It looks intimidating, to be sure. Two things:

- I'd give your BSB the Charmed Shield and your general the Enchanted one. With a 3+ Ward, he's less likely to eat a cannonball already, and your BSB is about as important.

- the only other thing: what if your opponent has things to counter your S5 T3 dudes? It's all you got. A little variety would help you deal with things that aren't all that intimidated by them. Granted, almost everything should be afraid of these guys, but there are a few. Slann/Temple Guard. Dark Elf arrow-storm. High Elf Spearmen.Sea Guard (maybe), Skaven: the Plague spell.

Looks funny, if a bit boring to play. Still, it's pretty damn scary.

Lets be honest.

An arrow storm isnt really going to do much. The hordes will be across the table by turn 3. an arrow storm may kill 1 horde unit but heh there frenzied khorne lumber jacks they dont care.
also by turn 3 youd expect to see Wulfrik in the enemies flank or rear!!

i love playing horde armies. seeing the tidal wave crash home is awesome and watching the other player sweat as the tide comes ever closer is even better!!

i love this list as i am a maurauder horde lover

This is a proper horde muahaha.

The only real worry is mortars those will hurt but the disc can take care of that or wulfrik.

This would be so painful ok asl but str 5 and at a boat load if attacks some with poisoned attacks the bsb in there somewhere tearing things appart.

Wulfrik possibly hitting the main Mage and callin him out to play

I want to see this happen

Drop wulf then the list will be great

Some shadow magic dropping str and toughness maybe a curse from Festus maybe a bit of mindrazor pit of shades you know the works.

whats wrong with wulf??

The in predictability of when him and friends come in I think.
Where as if you have the extra unit on the table will mean threat saturation hence making the opponent make choices.

thats crazy:| so many marauders!! do you actually have them painted??? i would love to see that

my only suggestion that i can really think about giving is Horsemen, you need some but other then that the only way i can think of hurting you is deploying my entire army 2-3" from the back table edge so that wulfik can't come in from there hahaa)

i think your biggest problem is no room to maneuver at all.

i have run 4x50 marauders and i usually only ever get 2 of them into the fight as the rest are stuck trying to get around terrain.

i would drop to 4 marauders and add 2 marauder horsemen with javelins, so you get fast calv, vanguard to clear room in the deploymnt zone.

I beat a list very similar to this by the skin of my teeth. I had tons of template weapons from salamanders (a total of 6) and my Slaan was able to get off his it came from below and wipe out Wulfrics unit to the point it wasn't effective. I also transferred an irresistable force to the Sorceror Lord for kicks to which he lost Pandemonium. After that it was just holding the line. The 20 skinks didn't put a dent in any of the units, I couldn't break him even when I won in combat.

Its a VERY tough list - my only suggestion would be to throw a unit of light cav in for tying of warmachines and the like. Its also a geat cheap unit to get in their back field just in case anything breaks and runs away.

The main problem with wulf is that he does not always come in when you need him or he comes when you really don't need his help. Also in my experience he makes your opponent hug their backline which means alot more walking for your naked lumberjacks

True Ralin.

Hahahaha painted haha I own 8 marauder models this list was just for kicks to be honest.

No horsemen! this is meant to be a extremely crowded and just like ok you now have no where to run and cant hide muahaha.

The fun with magic would be shadow magic do mess with you and maybe a bit of curse to make units die.
Mindrazor would be wonderful to get off on the marauders with either gw or mot since str 7 is nice marauders smash.

Such and other magic fun
