here's something I've created that is probably wrong on a few levels... against some armies this might even border on mean....
Lords:
Level four slaughtermaster with Lore of Death and the greedy fist (by the FAQ ruling, every time he snipes your wizards with a spell that "hits" you lose a level...like the 2D6 magic levels you'd lose from Caress of Laniph.... I'm serious...)
Level three slaughtermaster with dispel scroll and lore of beasts
Heroes:
Lvl 1 Butcher with the hellheart and lore of the great maw.
Bruiser BSB with sword of striking, enchanted shield, ironcurse and giantbreaker (four attacks at S6 hitting on 2's? yes please)
Core:
14 ironguts, full command with the standard of discipline... horde with four ogre characters in the front rank... the two regular ironguts go on the far edges to minimize attacks against unit... if Lore of Beasts spell goes through that's either T6 front rank of characters, or T8 depending on which buff I get through....
Special:
Three yhettes - run up a flank and try to get at a warmachine or a flanking unit.... completely disposable and cheap... if someone chooses to shoot this to death, who cares - protection = it's a terribly low threat - I was thinking gorger originally for backfield attack but for a mere 42 points more, yhettes still get there by turn two and have 9 wounds instead of 4 to get through!
4 mournfangs with ironfist, heavy armor, musician, banner and the dragonhide banner - survivable, and melts units on the charge
Rare:because they're awesome....
ironblaster
ironblaster
2399 points and barring a turn one purple sun (which the scroll is for) should destroy any magic heavy list... except for those crazy frogs, as they'll just steal all the sixes from the death slaughtermaster and completely mess up the whole combo ;D
....and yes dwarfs will eat me for breakfast, but they were probably going to do that anyways
