Hi all,

I'm heading to the 2015 Clash of Kings UK Final in October this year, and since having a look at the new rules and lists, I'm looking to build a Forces of Nature army to the (colossal) 2500 pts limit.

Where I'm struggling is that I haven't really had any practice with V2 rules, and won't get a chance until after I've made purchases and started painting my army, so I'm looking for some help in what to get! (Having played a few games in V1, I suspect FoN were a little overpowered, as I won most games fairly comfortably).

Here's the preliminary list I've got to:

Centaur Strider Regiment
Centaur Strider Regiment
Salamander Horde
Salamander Regiment
Forest Shambler Regiment
Forest Shambler Regiment
Earth Elemental Horde
Cockatrice (Beast of Nature, Fly)
Cockatrice (Beast of Nature, Fly)
Druid (Lightning Bolt) x 3
Tree Herder x 2
Unicorn

I've put the miniatures I already own in bold - so the question is, am I barking up the wrong tree with my remaining planned purchases? (They are somewhat governed by the models available - a little frustrated that Mantic figures save for shamblers for most won't be out until too late for the event). I'm definitely also open to making more buys to round out the army, and am not precious about using everything I already own, particularly if anyone's got any suggestions on some nice miniatures that look the part and I could drop in!

I've been thinking (In theory!) that the above army gives huge manoeuvrability with quick/vanguard units to steal a march on any exposed flanks or war-machines, together with a solid anvil of Salamanders and Elementals to set the trap! But I'd be very interested to hear if anyone's got any suggestions!

Thanks very much in advance!

PS. I fully appreciate this post may 'give the game away' pre-tournament, but I'm in it for the learning!
