I'm working out a DoC army and I have to admit there is an appeal to having a Level 3 caster in an army with a Blood Thirster in it, and the more I thought about the army as a whole I see it as an expensive investment, but something that's pretty useful.

The config I'd run is 32-33 Horrors (nice buffer for staying at Level 3 Status), with a Herald in the Unit, with the Changeling to protect the Herald; and the Icon of +1 to Cast. It's expensive as all get out, but it provides a hell of a lot of magic offense and can really pull DD/Scrolls to let other magic get through. Also 4 Dice gives me a good shot of getting Bolt of Change off.

But then it's a 500 point unit that if an opponent runs a tarpit at, they can hope for Gift Of Chaos to go off and that's about it.

I should note that for the army that these guys are running in I will have the Icon of Chaos Glory in the unit, so between the Changeling, Icon, 4+ Ward, and the Banner it's a unit my opponent doesn't want to touch either.

Anyway, I'd just like opinions on this particular setup and on Level 3 Horror blocks in general. I'm just thinking through what to take for my core and this seems like a good idea on paper, but I've got something nagging at the back of my head saying that this is a pit I should be avoiding.

Plus it'd be nice to have core that wasn't just 3x10 Horrors. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212892/308532.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212892/308532.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212892/308543.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212892/308543.page GMT lvl mage without using up your lord slot.
I will be running the 30 man unit beside the thirster for a while to test it out.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212892/309466.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212892/309466.page GMT
