Basically this is a gimmick list. It revolves around the executioners as both a hammer and anvil unit. With the cauldron and frenzy a basic executioner will have 3 str 6 ws 5 attacks with killing blow, along with the ASF banner they will violate all comers including monsters. Witchbrew will null any flanking/outnumbering bonuses for the opponent, with tullaris they will be causing fear. Finally the witch giving them frenzy will eliminate fear checks. The dark riders will be used to control charges and hit on enemy flanks, as will the CoK's just with a bit more oomph. My lord will be there for hero destruction with a 2+ regular, regenerate, and a 5- ward and strength 6. The hydras....well they do what they do best, cause terror and hopefully draw fire away from my executioners.

I'm wondering if I shouldnt drop a hydra for a unit of harpies to screen the executioners so my dark riders can get into the back field more and cripple warmachines.

comments?

My only concern here is that the main focus of the army is going to be seen very quickly. there aren't many bodies on the field and it's an all eggs in one basket kind of force. Most canny opponents will concentrate on exposing those frenzied Executioners by drawing off chargers with sacrificial units and throwing you out when you hit their lines giving them more time to decimate your ranks from range and with magic.

The theory sounds awesome as is ever the case witha beefed up unit but I shoot one executioner and you've just lost a rank bonus. Either up the executioners to 30 and add in some cheap ass warrior blocks for support and numbers or figure out a way to keep those executioners alive more. all the enemy need do is smack you with enough force to break it and most will just park march blockers in your path to take you out at range or avoid you altogether.

Have you played any games thus far? How did they fair? Anything learnt?
