pMadrak will this work?

[angryscotsman]

Im gaming at a new shop tonight and they prefer the modles to be painted so im alittle restricted on what i can bring? So with what i have i came up with is
pMadrak +5*
EBDT (5)*
Impaler 5
Min krielstone with elder. 4
Max champs 10
Horthol 5
Min longriders 7

my other painted modles (so far) are
Min fenblades, fell caller, whelps, impaler, axer, and the rest of the krielstone unit

So given the restrictions would you leave this list as is? And if so i haven't played in a long time and could use some advice on how to use it effectively. Thanks

Personally, I would drop the SSE and the Impaler and add an Axer.

I had thought about that for the rush animus and thresher but is it worth the loss of +1 str and 1" radius?

Well the list worked pretty good tonight. I played against cygnar with
eStyker
Stormwall
Max
Stormblades and ua
Runewood
3 stormsmiths
Jr

I charged the EBDT right at the stormwall thinking those huge fist must have a good pow but no they are only POW 3 so I did like 12 damage. Strker charged the long riders and horthol (man he is fast) and only killed one and forced 2 tough rolls which I passed. The stormwall nocked horthol off his mount and next turn the long riders did 15 damage to Stryker and I poped my feat and 3 champs killed all the Stormblades and a storm smith. His turn the stormwall smacks the EBDT a few times but whiffs damage and makes horthol make 2 tough rolls (passed). My turn I stand up horthol and wak the stormwall for 2pts then crit slam Stormsmiths kd my long riders in combat with Stryker who charges madrak but a few misses and transfer and a grimnars scroll I have 2 hp left I get 4 fury from the EBDT and cut for 1 and proceede to cut Stryker in half. That as about as close as It gets two casters fight it oh and one dies and the other has one hp left. All I. All I only lost the impaler and a long rider it it was a good game and helped clear the cod webs. My favorite part was the stormwall not being able to kill horthol who kept getting back up and plinking it for more damage.

In my experience, yes. The Axer has +1 STR on the Impaler anyway. Rush is necessary if you want the threat range to get the EBDT wherever it needs to go. The Impaler doesn't have much of a place in this list, other than to give pMadrak's axe some additional range... and that's a pretty marginal effect for a 5 point beast. I would much rather have a Pyre, if you don't want to give up the SSE.

Always remember to ask what the power of their weapon is before declaring that your going to use it, remember you dont have to take their power.
dropping the impaler for another 5 point troll, i seriously recommend the winter troll or pyre troll.
The winter troll can be fun making the enemy stationary and throwing around its spray, auto hitting with your EBDT would defiantly be nice.
