    Default New to Game: Looking for feedback on 35pt Harbringer

    After playing a few test games against a friend and getting to see some units on the table, I have made some changes. Here's what I have now.

    Harbringer
    Hierophant
    Crusader
    Guardian

    Avatar

    Min Choir

    Vilmon
    Pallie
    Pallie

    Covenant

    Mechanik


    This list is pretty elite but I really like not having units as it takes away the power of opponents who have invested in anti-infantry. I do have the Choir but that is pretty easy to protect, as is the Mechanik.

    My basic strategy is to have a very bulky front line with a very hitty second wave. I am looking to lead with the Avatar and Guardian, with the Crusader and Pallies being wave two.

    I like the Avatar and Guardian because I feel I really need an Arc Node, even with the range buff from the Hierophant. I want Harbringer back until things get a bit safer but the Node lets me drop her great buffs from safety. The Guardian and Avatar both have huge threat ranges because of Reach so that can cause a bit of caution in the opposition.

    Crusader is just cheap and hits hard, but doesn't have as big a threat range because of the low speed and no Reach. Just there to help out a Jack in need or intercept another threat if my front liners are winning.

    I really like the Paladin/Hierophant/Martyrdom combo and I feel like there is a lot I can do with Vilmon's stance. The Pallies make excellent pinning units against Heavy Infantry or Jacks/Beasts without Magic Weapons and it also seems possible to "charge block" if facing a faster opponent but letting the Pallie get charged, take no damage and move the Jack behind it into B2B. Slams don't KD and the Jack suffers no Collateral damage although I may be missing something with that hypothesis. Still awesome solos for a variety of reasons.

    Choir is really important to deny shooting/Magic as most armies don't have both that can hurt Jacks badly, could drop the Mechanik and get a full Choir but I don't see the point with Harbringer.

    I like the Covenant for beating armies that focus on KD since the point cost seems fine for that situational power. Sadly I can't take much advantage of the Continuous Fire as I have no Thresher or Ranged so maybe not 100% worth inclusion?

    Mechanik, I had an extra point.

    problem i see with this list, is you trying from turn one to kill all the enemy heavies. If I were playing against this list, that is what I would try to exploit. If he makes it into your lines with two heavies and manages to take out your crusader, which he can easily do with two heavies, you will have a hard time of it. Sure your weapon masters can do it if they can get a charge, but not easily. And not if they have to go against a Khador or another Menite. Plus, against another Menite the magic weapons will ruin your day.

    I think you need two crusadiers min.
    In 2013 I have made a pledge to take time for myself and paint an hour every day. It takes me about 2 hours to paint a basic troopers so I made a point system to keep track of my goal. 2pts small base, 4 pts med base, 6 pts large base and bonus points for special figs. You should make your own pledge. Do 90 pts in 90 days, or even 30 points in 30 days. You can look here to see how I am doing, More flames and bones here!
