[Assamite]

I 'm very glad to join such an active forum and i salute you all...

I was big Confrontation fan and i started playing hordes like 2 months ago at 35 points with a Makeda-Molik List but my group has moved up to 50pts now and i found it as an opportunity to explore non-Molik lists... So I Went with Zaal.. thats what im thinking so far... i aim for tier4

Supreme Aptimus Zaal +5
Kovaas

Beasts
2xCyclops Savage 10
1xCyclops Shaman 5
1xCyclops Raider 5

Units
2xImmortals (L+5) 10
2xPraetorian Karax(L+5) 8

Solos
1xHakaar The Destroyer 4
2xAnsestral Guardian 6
1xAptimus Marketh 3
2xExtoler Soulwards 4

Total 55

What do you thing?

Welcome aboard! A couple observations:

I know why you have 2 minimum units (Tier 4), but Immortals seem to work better as a full unit, due to Vengeance. Personally, I think Tier 3 is the money level, if you are playing tiered, but I won't ever try to talk people out of playing tiered lists if they can make them work.

I see no problem running all light beasts, but you might want to consider some protection for Zaal - Cyclops Brute and Basilisk Krea are the most popular choices.

You have lots of troops to fuel feat turn, and Zaal can turn anything into a killer between Last Stand and feat. I am a big Karax fan with Zaal, though many would argue for swordsmen. A cool thing to remember with Last stand and Karax, only the leader of the combined attack is destroyed at the end of the turn.
