Trident realms Riverguard only?

Army lists and Tactics

I was looking at putting together a hobby project of Fishmen and was wondering how playable just Riverguard would be?

As this is a hobby project im looking to build lists from the following.
2 x riverguard reg with 2hw
2 riverguard reg with javs
2 hordes of dam busters
2 arbalests
2 foot characters and 2 mounted ones.

I’m okay with it not being top tier. I want something I could play and not be tabled over and over. Is this functional to build from? They have so many special rules something has to click right?

Mate ran this frog heavy list at Clash, went 4-2 and finished just outside the top 50.

The formation gets you a stealthy aura, so possibly look at fitting that in.

Trident King with the Dambuster rally aura might be a useful addition - bumping the horde to 17/19 is nice in an otherwise slightly squishy list?

The formation and king looks like a decent power boost. Thanks

If it helps, here’s the Oops! All Amphibians list I made when the rules dropped. Would be a lot of fun and I think pretty decent:

Trident Realm of Neritica [2300]

Riverguard (Infantry) Regiment [180]
– Poison Frogs [5]
Riverguard (Infantry) Regiment [180]
– Poison Frogs [5]
Riverguard (Infantry) Regiment [180]
– Poison Frogs [5]
Riverguard Dambusters (Large Cavalry) Regiment [140]
Riverguard Dambusters (Large Cavalry) Regiment [140]
Riverguard Dambusters (Large Cavalry) Horde [280]
– Poison Frogs [5]
– Brew of Sharpness [45]
Treeleaper Dambusters* (Large Cavalry) Regiment [165]
Treeleaper Dambusters* (Large Cavalry) Regiment [165]
Treeleaper Dambusters* (Large Cavalry) Regiment [165]
Riverguard Arbalest (Monster) 1 [110]
Riverguard Arbalest (Monster) 1 [110]
Riverguard Sentinel (Hero (Infantry)) 1 [125]
Riverguard Sentinel (Hero (Infantry)) 1 [125]
Trident King [1] (Hero (Chariot)) 1 [235]
– King of Myrrhimm [20]

The list is designed to avoid spam too, hence the cap of three on Treebusters, which seem quite strong still, even if their great gun is pretty balanced by how soft they are. With BOTOK you could make a second Riverbuster horde work at last, but I stuck with the classic sharp horde as the dedicated hammer. (Nimble is interesting but I went with a couple regiments instead to provide pressure / board presence in a different way.)

Looking at that list I would really try to fit the Siren in. Everything she does makes sense here. Enthrall gets stuff out of cover, hex deals with lightning bolt or heal-casters. Weakness keeps the Dambusters alive and Mind-fog adds shattering to the second target. On top she inspires now. Modeling a singing frog could also be great fun :wink:
