So, as some of you have heard, NDG is doing a Regiments of Renown league starting this month - basically a WHFB version of kill-team. Rules are here: www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m3080051a_Regiment_Pack_%282%29.pdf Anywho, I'm thinking of running WoC, but don't really know what would make a good team. I can only fit 4 models into the limitations, but should be able to take on most things people can throw at me. Here are my ideas for the models: Chaos Knight (Leader) -Mark of Nurgle, Lance, Shield -20 point magic item (open to suggestions) Warrior of Chaos (Veteran) -Mark of Nurgle, Shield -Epic Flail (frenzy, flail) Warrior of Chaos (Veteran) -Mark of Nurgle, Halberd -Steel-Lined Cloak (Scaly Skin 6+) Warrior of Chaos (Veteran) -Mark of Nurgle, Halberd, Shield -Bilious Totem (Hatred) Total = 100 points on the nose WS5 at -1 to hit is going to mean most things hitting on 5s, maybe even 6s. Going at I5 with S5/6 for the whole squad, with 2-3 attacks each, means most things should die quickly once I get in. 1+ and 3+ armor vs shooting means that what little shooting there is should be weathered with ease. Anyone familiar with the game, have any suggestions? |

I like this a lot. A bit of Mordheim, but it seems to be pretty balanced. I will definitely put some Dark Elves together for this.

Empire List:
Inner Circle Knight(Leader)
- Inner Circle, Preceptor
Outrider (veteran - Hand Crafted Ammo)
- Repeater Handgun, Barding
Swordsman
Swordsman
Halberd
Halberd
Militia (veteran - stabby's rusty stikka)
Greatsword
exactly 100 pts.
For the Final Veteran, 3 options look appealing
#1, throw it on the preceptor as the D6 attack upgrade and use his preceptor upgrade points to add 2 spearmen to the list
#2, make an awesome banner conversion on a random list member
#3, throw the regen rule on to the Greatsword so he has the highest chance of getting to swing in combat.

I read the post on NDGs page; do they want all participants to buy brand new all of the units they would be using for this league? Sounds kind of silly to spend 80$ on a four week campaign. I can see one box, sure. But all of them kind of saps out any interest I have in playing.

Wow two things. First loads of oopsies made on making my lists. (Champion upgrades for leader and 20 points of magic items are free!!)
Second. Really? All models must be purchased for the tournament? When I was chatting with the ND guys we'd discussed "entry cost" being the purchase of a single box, OR a small entry fee. (Like $5 or buy a box to use etc) that is kind of stupid to make the whole thing individual purchases
If they wanted to do that, they should make it possible to buy "parts" of boxes rather than the whole thing...

Bet you can't guess who's in charge of putting this together.

Yeah Marc didn't realize that Regiments of Renown allowed you to use individual models from a variety of units - he thought it was like kill team in that you have to bring a full regiment of a single unit, which is why he figured a buy-a-box as entry would make sense.
I spoke to him about the issue with RoR, and it sounds like he's going to still require a box purchase as entry, which goes towards prize support, but let people use models from their collections to flesh out the regiment.

Okay that's more reasonable. I need more White Lions, anyhow.
