2300 (100.0%)

Total Unit Strength:

28

thinking is revs and spears are the centre backed up by the guardians and wyrms, standard ,monoloth.pharo and shobik usually a denied flank or scenario.
the chariots and CHP take a Flank to delay etc

the main questions I have seeing I played 2 games a couple of years ago with a borrowed army.
hammer of measured force on the revenants is it worth it?
enslaved guardians combat or should I switch these for the guardian archers? as only shooting is from the chariots.
is there any major floors I am missing.

thanks

List looks good to me! Doing some cool stuff for EOD, and no Soul Snare! Mad props on that. I don’t love drain 6 on the chariot priest, when he could take weakness 3 or that chonky fireball 12 if damage is the goal. Veil on the Pharoah is interesting, those dudes almost always have Host Shadowbeast, often wings as well. I’m a little curious what he’s veiling?

Hammer is fine on the revs, the meta is really high Def now and you don’t have BC to help them lift otherwise. And fighty Enslaved Guardians are great and popular, I have to assume I never see shooty ones for a reason.

Solid core list.

Measured force usually finds its way into pretty much any list i use for any army!

If wanting VoS I’d probably look at a cheaper priest than the pharaoh and use points to buff Guardians?

thanks for the feedback, no soul snare was purely based on trying to restrict my non scoring units, just the pharaoh and the banner. Drain life on the priest was purely there to add a bit extra, he would be running behind the chariots to give them inspiring surge if needed and the drain life to add a wound to the combat but open to change. the pharaoh would be in the middle of my battle line so veil was purely there to add a bit of survivability to the main block from shooting while having a mini hammer to add a bit of block things up.

Veil was just added at the end when I was looking over the few points I had left on what I was missing and shooting protection was one. if veil isn’t that beneficial I’ll look at other options
