I am looking to bring a competitive fantasy army that can be done in 2 months. Its for the conflict gt on Jan 14.
So These are the couple of options i am thinking.
OGRES
Daemons
Lizardmen<creature feature>


Here are the Restrictions on the website.....
All the way @ the bottom. http://www.theconflictgt.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=37&Itemid=54

Any help would be great.
Thanks again dakka

Low Model Count.

Sets the standard.

Have you ever played Fantasy?

This sounds a bit like:
"I want to become the NASCAR/Formula 1 world champion next year. Anyone knows how to get a driving licence?"

I think if you want to get a competitive army done quickly, Ogres are the way forward.

Yes i have....alot of games in 8th ed. I lost my army in the move....(meaning it fell off my truck and broke into pieces in the road)

So i am trying to get back into the game......Looking to get a quick army done. Since i already signed up for the tournie.

I didn't vote but Ogres if you want to get them done quickly based on assembly and low model count. Daemons are pretty good too, if you have an airbrush you can just spray a basecoat, pick out metals and details, wash and done. GT 3k? If daemons go with one of the big greater daemons, hordes of bloodletters, as many flamers as you can fit in and a horror bunker for your Heralds of Tzeentch.

Its a 2500 pt GT.

Yeah Daemons are pretty quick I've done 10 Letters in a weekend pretty easy.

They have a lot of restrictions on Daemons per the tournament rules:

DOC: Max. Flamers are a 0-1 choice. All daemonic gifts are 0-1. Daemonic Battle Standard can take either daemonic icon or gifts.

Ogres would likely be the most competitive. TK also don't have a lot of restrictions.

DoC is out then no max flamers and no having to HoT with Master of Sorcery is going to hurt them. Any limits on Ogres?

Limit on ogres is no hellheart and dispell scroll in the same list

The way I understand the restrictions is you can have 0-1 UNITS. So you could still have 6 flamers. But you couldn't have 5 units of them. You could still get a Mastery of Sorcery, but you couldn't get give that to, say a Lord of Change and a HoT. Kind of like how you can't have the same magic item in an army. Though I think Daemons rely on their gifts a bit more since they are more generic without them.

Ogres are sweet and why not daemons also cool.

First choice would be ogres just because you can.

All hail the stampede, extra fun if armies are limited to like 2-3 warmachines.
On an ETC lists i usually end up with 1-2 cannons vs 3 monsters. Bwahahahaha

Yet more unfounded Hellheart hate



I would go for Ogres if speed is really needed. Does the army have to be painted, or just assembled?

for 2500 points I would reccomend purchasing 2 battalions, a SM/Butcher, 2 Ironblasters, at least 2 boxs of mournfangs(4 if you want to focus on the kitties), and a couple packs of Sabretusks.

That will give you a SM general, 2 Ironblasters, 4 Mournfangs with IF, HA, and Dragonehide banner, and 32 Ogre bodies to play around with.


those 32 bodies you get in the box can be assembled a varity of ways(as Leadbeltchers, Ironguts, and Ogre Bulls all use the same base sprue)

you can make up to 16 Ironguts(don't believe the box, each has enough for 8 IGs) and 8 leadbeltchers, or make them all into Bulls. And you can easily scratch build a BSB Bruiser and a Butcher from the box too.

As general advice, I would make 6 Leadbeltchers(you really won't need more then that), a BSB Bruiser(use IG heavy armor bits and one of the extra banners), a Butcher(use one of the goat skull banners as a fetish of some kind, maybe a chest plate), 12 Bulls(ironfists are the only good option, XHW suck), and 12 Ironguts(each with full command options)

If you do that you will have a SM general, BSB, backup butcher, 12 Bulls, 12 Ironguts, 6 Leadbeltchers, 2 ironblasters, and 4 mournfangs. Playing around with magic items and such will easily carry you to 2500 points with options to spare.
