The March of Progress an OFCC Empire List

[Distaff]

Hello everyone!

 

I've been playing the the below Empire List for a while and wanted to know if it was an acceptable OFCC list. The List is centered around a converted War Altar ( built out of Steam Tank Parts) and Demi-Griffs ( Built out of Penitent Engines). Its a Harder List, though it forgoes shooting almost entirely, and I wanted an Idea of how it would be received if I showed up with it. I've also got a Wood Elf List (With a Forest Dragon!) that would be my other option.

Two Steam Tanks, zero Infantry blocks, 1+ armor everywhere. The concept of Steam demigryphs build out of penitent engine parts sounds FREAKING AWESOME.  The list, however, seems very susceptible to up to a R/P/S problem.  You will absolutely, utterly steamroll certain types of lists, and will get run over by others.  Ask yourself the question:  If my opponent set this up across the board from me, would I look forward to playing it? Would both sides of the table enjoy the time spent in game?

I love your theme and would like to see it in person, but I agree with Exile.  For this event, could you pare it back to one Steamtank and maybe a big unit of either Reiksgaurd or Inner Circle (or drop down to smaller units).  Could you squeeze in some pistoliers or outriders?  Don't want to step on the feet of your vision but that might soften it up a bit.

 

Also, no engineers?  A robohorse seems fitting, at least from what I'm reading above.

 

Great job!  Love the creativity!

Unfortunately, this is a great theme army, but it is not OFCC material as the others have said.  This will not be fun for alot of armies to play against.  And pretty sure this list would get the big rejection hammer upon submission. 

[Talapas]

Drop a stank and I would feel better about it personally for this event. Double stank is rough even in a non comp environment.

 

I am digging the theme and would love to see the army.

[ratrek]

I'd be stunned if that wasn't out right rejected.

 

Neat theme but a rather hard list.

[thatdave]

No. For the aforementioned reasons I would reject and lobby the committee to do the same, though I doubt I would need to do any lobbying.

 

But, like the rest have mentioned, I dig the theme and in an uncomped event would love to play it.

[WarlordGhrom]

Play it Friday in the open and bring a toned down army for the OFCC...

[Distaff]

Thanks for the feedback guys. If I make it to the open I'll bring out the empire :)
