So many options when it comes to list building in the new WoC book and that is pretty awesome. I wrote up a Mono Tzeentch one last time but now I went with a mix of different marks, mostly Nurgle and Tzeench but also some Khorne with the Skullchrushers.I also went with a Daemon Prince in this one, and he is also a level 4 so many eggs in one basket but hopefully he can stay alive from cannons long enough so he can get into combat. I will also make some variations on this list, you can for example go for two cheaper DP:s instead of this Overlord one. One option is also to go with Trolls either with or without Throgg instead of either chariots or one of the Warriors blocks. Trolls is nice to have in the list as they can protect the DP from cannonballs.
Anyhow, here's one version of the Mixed Mark list, please tell me what you think about it.

I'm curious as to the role of the Exalted BSB on Disc.
ReplyDeleteIf he uses the Disc, for instance to zip around the enemy backline taking out war machines, then it seems you won't get full use of the BSB. If you want to keep the majority of your rather slow army in range of the BSB, you won't get full use of the Disc.
Perhaps there are uses for him - e.g. to zip the BSB to where it's most needed or to accompany the Chimera - but what did you have in mind?
Thanks for your feedback Ben. Well I prefer two builds for the bsb atm and that's the Disc rider and one riding a Demonic Mount. I didn't use the DM one in this list because it's harder to fit him into a unit without the Trolls (If I go with trolls I will put the DM BSB in that unit most of the time). Here I wanted a more mobile one just as you said, either have him flying around where he is mostly needed for the time being and being quite resilient he can take on smaller units by himself as well. Or even better accompany the Chimera or the Prince.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if he is the best option in this particular list but I want to give him a try at least. You have any experience using the Disc bsb since the new book came out?
