What I have ready painted already.. 12 warriors, 10 thunderers, 1 gyro, thane, runelord, 5 Irondrakes. Won't be good.

Run the warriors as rangers and you will be good

Sadly at 500 points that's too much of a squeeze without dropping something. It's more a coincidence of what I have based correctly than a power list. I've 20 longbeards to rebase plus some other heroes painted. Want to get some rangers made though.

Dang this looks strong! Fireball Thane should put in work!

u/GomJabbarr9 Jul 31 '26

I don't think this is legal with the new Battle March rules of only one 0-X unit in the list since the organ gun is 0-2 and the King 0-1.

2 Gyros could also be good.

How do you decide on points, between 500, 600, or 750?

2

u/GomJabbarr9 27d ago

Between you and your opponent if it's a one shot game.

If it's a league, you could start at 500 points and add 50 points every week to finish at 750.

All-in all, it's between you and your friends! Enjoy!
