---------------------------------------------------------------------------

List 1 is pretty obvious it's also 15pts over not sure what to swap.

Tactics: Probably drop in both Blizzard Dreads on turn 1 to create a screen and some distraction from the dual TWC units Priests each go in a TWC unit and one HQ per unit also rolls with, close ground and get in my opponents face. I think there are like 3 guns in the list, just on the pods LOL but thats ok.

List 2 is right on 1850. Still back and forth on the HQ. I don't think Harald is the way to go on this list, so I went with a WGBL instead, I can also fit in a tricked out Wolf Lord If i drop some shields and from the TWC unit. I decided with full shields as there's only 1 unit and I wanted maximum survivability.

Tactics
Alpha strike is a bit more pronounced on this list, Dual Blizzard Dreads and Void Claws w/ Arjac on turn 1. Void claws will help with getting the Stormfang and Murderface into the game sooner. Iron priest and WGBL ride with the TWC and split as needed.


I realize that both lists are low on models and even lower (nil) on basic troops, but that's kind of the idea. I kind of like list 2 as it's more varied in the models on the table. but The idea of dual TWC seems deadly.

Would really appreciate any help or comments if you folks could spare the time. help me pick a list!

Anyone like to chime in?

I like list 1, however since you have 3 dreads would you consider using the "Bretheren of the Fell handed" detachment? You could give them all say assault cannons and just walk up the table behind you TWC blazing units and getting a 5+ inv save. Also The CotGW detachment only requires 1 HQ so I would consider dropping one of them and adding in a Stormwolf because I guarantee in an 1800 point list your opponent will have one or two.
