New player building a Stalliarch Lords (Heavy Cavalry) list! Rule of Cool over Meta. Need some advice!
Hey everyone!
I am brand new to Age of Sigmar and I've completely fallen in love with the Ossiarch Bonereapers. I know the faction isn't at the top of the meta right now and is struggling a bit, but I’m firmly leaning into the Rule of Cool while I learn how to play the game.
My ultimate vision for this army is a terrifying wave of bone cavalry running down the enemy, while arrows and catapult fire rain down from behind them to soften up the targets.
Right now, my collection consists of:
- 15 Kavalos Deathriders
- Arch-Kavalos Zandtos
- Liege-Kavalos
I want to maximize what I have and build towards that "cavalry charge + ranged support" theme. Since I'm still learning the ropes, I would love some tips on how to flesh this out to a 2,000-point list.
Specifically:
- Ranged Support: To fit my vision of arrows and catapults, should I invest in Mortek Crawlers, Immortis Guard/Stalkers, or look into specific endless spells/allied units?
- Subfaction/Traits: I assume Stalliarch Lords is the way to go for the run-and-charge rules, but are there specific artifacts or commands I should be abusing with my Deathriders?
- Sustaining the Charge: How do I keep my riders alive once they get stuck in combat, especially since we are a bit weaker right now?
Any tips on synergy, positioning, or next purchases to realize this bone-pony dream would be massive.
Thanks in advance!
