The big change in the list versus what I normally run is no
Hydras. I think that’s a huge concession
to QCR’s magically unknown composition system.
For those 350 points I have snagged 2 bolt throwers and 10 harpies, being
forced to drop the warrior bane from BSB and iron curse icon from sorceress to
make up the slight difference in points.
While I think the loss of the hydras is huge, as their flame templates
often was what allowed me to take out larger blocks, I think the bolt throwers
will help counter monsters and armored units.
While the assassins help with that, I think they could use a little back
up. The harpies will allow me to draw
out defensive lines to get to warmachines without having to risk a dark rider
unit or character so even though they don’t shoot I feel they can participate. I know this isn’t as strong of a list, but
that is sort of the point.
The question is though, will my composition score still be dropped
anyways. I always want to submit a few
lists to see how they scale. I expect
that I will still have a very low score, because it’s an avoidance list with
strong magic. And because I’m Josh, and
there is heavy speculation that issues besides the list factor into the
scores. I would hope that they are
honest, and the group has some great people in it, but that doesn’t make it
true.
You’ve seen the harpies as a hobby project over the month of June, and
I plan to use my spear man eaters as my bolt throwers. They just throw really fast and hard. I also tested the list once at the June CoC,
where it comped at -4 due to the pendant of khaeleth and the general amount of
magic items.
The loss of the hydras also opens up the characters to a lot more
direct attention to warmachines, which I fear will ultimately be the downfall
of the list. That and getting through
hoards of elves – though a few wounds on the hydras was quite effective in
knocking the breath template down to the level of useless.
The loss of 2 drops for the adding of 3 drops probably isn’t what I
need, but it’s just for this event (and the CoC test run). I’ll be adding back at least one hydra for
Northstar in November, which I think will be my next 2 day GT. Wish me luck.
