Swan-of-War

(Copied my post from the Mantic forums, hence the weird formatting) Looking to start my first army as Trident Realms with some Undead Allies (fits my theme). Can you critique my list?Placoderm HordePlacoderm HordePlacoderm DefenderGigas Horde-these guys seem fantastic, do they still get Ensnare? Looks to be the best anvil units in the list and I’m paying a premium for them. Gigas are there to guard a flank and the Defender hangs around to inspire and help out in a fight. Are two placo hordes too much? Could I get away with Naiad Ensnarers instead (or just one horde of Placoderms instead of two)?NecromancerWraith TroopWraith TroopZombie Regiment-the undead allies help with the center line. Zombies anchor the other flank with the help of the two Wraiths to wipe any units that engage them or the Placoderms. Does the necro need to inspire them at all given that they’re mostly throw away units? Or should he have lightning bolts instead?Wyrmrider CenturionWyrmrider Horde-my first hammer, they seem awesome. Should I run one of the Wraiths ahead of them for cover and diversion or is the Fog good enough as extra protection.Kraken-my second hammer, he must be releasedKnucker-my anti warmachine and anything else that doesn’t want to be hit by a fish missile. Should I take two?Thuul Mythican + Lightning BoltsI like this guy. He has a surprising number of attacks for a caster and, with the Inspiring Amulet, looks like he could even replace the Placoderm Defender. Lightning helps pick off chaff and lingering units. Do I need him?My plan would he to deploy as an Oblique Line, the Placo hordes anchoring along one table edge while the faster units move from side to side like a window wiper.Comments? Am I too heavy/ light in anything? I like the Siren too - would she fit well into this type of army?Thanks!

Thanks, I hadn’t thought of looking there.

Anyone looking to move some Hordes Bog Trog Ambushers, Croak Raiders and similar solos and can beat ebay prices? Unpainted please. Have Paypal, located near Seattle.

I agree with ignoring it - it makes it unfair to allow them to be immune to a charge. I faced a full unit of Dark Angel Helblasters perched on a second floor covered by a 4++aura (some land speeder nearby). To have to whittle them down with shooting just to make space for a single banshee to charge them really tips the scales in their favor

Airbrushes are a rip off - I take a big swig of paint and spit on it like a fire breather.

Sorry, it was a bust. All the possibly cool stuff I saw was other people’s personal projects stored in the shelves (I thought it may have been overstock). They really didn’t have anything

I’m in Hawaii and will check out the local store tomorrow. Stopped in for a few minutes yesterday and it looks like they may have some hidden gems

Yeah I thought it was great

I am Swan-of-War and I approve this message

La Antena - Netflix stylish silent movie that’s a great watch. Noir dystopia where everyone has lost their voice save one mysterious singer. Evil commences. 8/10 for style

Time to buy some GW stock with plastic sisters incoming. Everyone and their brother will be getting them, and that's a good thing!

Worked some more on my Wave Serpents and Falcon, adding to the weapon loadouts. A little bulky looking but at least they're modelled correctly

Thanks - how about now?

everything sold

Whoa! These look fantastic!

Or switch unit places - deepstrike on ground level 3” from an enemy unit 6” up. How are people playing assaults against units that are occupying the entire floor (eg there’s no room for an attacker to be placed there)? Are you allowing the combat or insisting that the target must be whittled down with gunfire first until there’s room for an attacker?

Looking to sell the following items, not looking to trade. Located near Seattle (east side) and include shipping w/in continental US. Will be cheaper if I can sell in person although I'd rather not travel very far (they're priced cheap as it is) OOP Tau Broadside, new on sprue, complete. This is the older one with metal upgrade bits. $18 5 Space Marine Scouts (CCW, Bolters, Shotguns), new on sprue. $20 3 Catachan Snipers, metal on bases, primed grey. $12

Worked on the wardroth beetle today - it's going to be a grav tank. Either a fire prism, falcon or maybe even another night spinner.

Court of the Young Queen, Biel Tan e'ry day. Had to sacrifice on of my Ohmu for her scenic base but I think it was worth it.

Thank you!

I binged this one too. Good stuff, kinda like Stranger Things

Are Sisters of Silence going to be in this codex or are they still split off separately?

Worked on some Dark Reapers with their handler. Pew-tato bugs
