Hi

Another army for you to laugh at (and then hopefully give C+C and tactics)

EpicUK Latd (current 2013 version)

Coven with 6 land transporters, 1 hydra and Arch heretic= 310pts (Khorne)
Lord of Battle= 400pts (BTS)

Coven with 6 land transporters, 1 hydra= 310pts (undivided)
Hellcannons= 200pts

Coven with 6 land transporters and 1 hydra= 310pts (Nurgle)
Thunderbolt flight= 175pts

Coven with 6 land transports = 260pts (Khorne)
Deamon engine unit(khorne)= 300pts

Coven with 1 land transporter, 1 hydra and 2 griffons= 330pts (Nurgle)
Leman russ detachment= 400pts

=2995pts
10 activations


what do people think?

Thanks
Alex

Transport has to be enough for the whole formation and the Leman Russ formation would give you 2 BTS formations (along with the Lord Of Battles.

Ah missed that oops

thanks
Alex

Revised list:

Coven with 6 land transporters, 1 hydra and Arch heretic= 310pts (Khorne)
Lord of Battle= 400pts

Coven with 7 land transporters,1 extra cultist stand, 1 hydra, 3 chaos hound stands and a deamon prince= 415pts (undivided)(BTS)
Hellcannons= 200pts

Coven with 6 land transporters = 260pts (Nurgle)
Thunderbolt flight= 175pts

Coven with 6 land transports = 260pts (Khorne)
Deamon engine unit(khorne)= 300pts

Coven with 1 hydra and 3 hounds of chaos stands= 280pts (Nurgle)
Leman russ detachment= 400pts

=2995pts

what do people think?

I like it.

One thing that the LatD have problems with is artillery. Either the enemy has lots or the LatD have none. If you can I'd try and fit in a formation of Contagion Engines or Basilicks. I also new leave home without at least one formation of Plague Zombies. They are great for either slowing up your opponent or attacking someing on his back line. This was aptly proved at the Campaign Weekend.

What would you drop or change to get in a unit of zombies or basilisks?

are the thunder bolts going to be effective or should i change them for the zombies?

thanks
Alex

Thunderbolts and Hydras give you a bit of protection against Air Assaults so I'd keep them in.

I would normally sacrifice the LoB or LR Tanks for some Artillery or Zombies.

Another thing to remember is that the Daemonic Pact is currently free so I'd load up on these and some Lesser Daemons.

If i dropped the leman russ detachment and the chaos hounds on the blitz deffence coven i could get an artillery battery and 3 griffons for the blitz deffence.

something like this:

Coven with 6 land transporters, 1 hydra and Arch heretic= 310pts (Khorne)
Lord of Battle= 400pts

Coven with 7 land transporters,1 extra cultist stand, 1 hydra, 3 chaos hound stands and a deamon prince= 415pts (undivided)(BTS)
Hellcannons= 200pts

Coven with 6 land transporters = 260pts (Nurgle)
Thunderbolt flight= 175pts

Coven with 6 land transports = 260pts (Khorne)
Deamon engine unit(khorne)= 300pts

Coven with 1 hydra and 3 griffon mortars= 355pts (Nurgle)
Artillery battery= 325pts

=3000pts
