System: Hordes
Faction: Skorne
Casters: 1/1
Points: 35/35
Archdomina Makeda (*5pts)
* Cyclops Brute (5pts)
* Cyclops Savage (5pts)
* Molik Karn (11pts)
Bloodrunners (Leader and 5 Grunts) (5pts)
Paingiver Beast Handlers (Leader and 3 Grunts) (2pts)
Praetorian Swordsmen (Leader and 9 Grunts) (6pts)
* Praetorian Swordsmen Officer & Standard (2pts)
Hakaar the Destroyer (4pts)

This is comprising of models i like the look of and the aim is assassination.
Right now trying to get a horde list together, was thinking circle first, but maybe something like this in skorne is more my style.
I really miss multiple (beasts) when playing khador and i think the small beasts are verry cool


Part from that i lack some armor punch, how do u like it?
(I really want molik + 2 cyklops as my core of the army)
The rest isnt set in stone..

Plan to use it with either pmakeda or naresh.
In steamroller i change molik for tiberion with naresh when hes avalable(wont run a tourney for a month or so anyway, so can try proxy)

If you're trying to play the Molik Bullet game you're not going to get very far without a Gladiator. Also eMak is better at it.

[tehhelios]

thanks for input, well its an option, but kinda like the pmak package better overall.
i am thinking of this glad.. il loose the huge vengeance move from hakaar but gain pathfinder and a solid beast. 12inch nonlinear walking move + 2+2 sidestep with reach is pretty faar though.

thinking of getting in a min unit of acuari somehow too. to create charge lanes with pulls.

[r2d2]

I always have problems with how cool bloodrunners look and how useless they are

[Shuyung]

eMak being better than pMak is conventional wisdom but overall that is a matter of opinion ( I personally prefer pMak). You would be well advised to take your glad with Molik if your want to deliver more assasinations.

I would drop the brute instead of the savage though. Giving your glad intuition will really maximize your power.

Outside of that i think it bears some playtesting. GL

[Mukmeguil]

I can't see any large problem with the list. I do believe it would be best to remove some of the solo to make room for one more unit. Considering pMakeda's feat you really want a lot of infantry units. I would consider dropping Hakaar and the extoller to add another unit of your choice.

[tehhelios]

Well I did a purchase yesterday but was a bit limited on what they had in store so no full swordsmen.
I could have gotten my hands on some ferox, would a min unit be worth it at 35p?

Anyway I will give this list a spin tomorrow or saturday, but i think ranged could be trouble.

edit : this was the army i ended up taking.

Overall, i think some more troops would be better, and didnt feel i Really needed marketh
The scenario made it impossible for me to use makeda as a mini molik(which is why i got marketh) so thats 3 points i easy could shave.
More swords or a min unit of something else would have been great.

So next try il do something like this, i allready own saxon orric, but im considering that maybe some ranged attacks with with orin midwinter would be better, thoughts?

You have some hard choices to get some range into the army. A min unit of reivers could really help with lights and solos. It also encourages the oppoent to do something about the guys shotting him in the flank. Orin likes to die to a stiff breeze so he is hard to run without getting him killed early. The army has some punch, but if I was to make some changes I would take a Cyclops Raider over the brute and I would take the extoller instead of Saxon Orrik. The extoller makes Karn a nightmare since he can charge through forests to get at stuff. The extoller can also get souls from the swordsmen and with the Raider animus has enough range to put some hurt on a heavy with a soul and his ranged attack.

[tehhelios]

Yes, il try the extoller instead of saxon, he can transfer souls to hakaar too, Not sure about the raider though. Il see when i can get a game in
