I stopped playing warhammer soon after AOS was released, I had a couple of games and it was fine but not really the kind of game I wanted to play.

 

Recently I reconnected with some old gamer buddies and we're going to meet for some beer, snacks and wargaming.

 

I've tried building a list with the models I have/want to use, is it legal and viable to play?

 

Alliance: Dispossessed?

 

Leaders

Wardenking on Throne of power

Runelord

Auric Runesmiter

Aether-Kemist

 

Battleline

20 Hammerers

20 Valkire Beserkers (2 axes?)

10 Arkanaut company (x3 pikes?)

 

Warmachines

Arkanaut Frigate (skyhook?)

x2 Gryobombers

x4 Gyrocopters (steam cannons?)

 

2000 points

 

I made this list on Games workshop's army builder and it didn't give me any red flags.

My friends can't help but run competitive armies, I have no idea what the current meta is.

I'm hoping this army can get to objectives quickly and then hold out until the Hammerers get there.

 

Feedback much appreciated

Unfortunately that wouldn’t work with allegiance Dispossessed, just as an Order allegiance. Another issue I see is that you don’t have enough bodies. 20 hammerers can hit real hard but also aren’t nearly as durable as you’d think, mainly because they only have one wound. Alternatively you could use the runelord to pickaxe the hammerers and then deepstrike with them, that could work well.

Thanks Ragnar, I'very taken another look at army building and came up with something like this.

Allegiance: Order

(Tempest eye)

Leaders
Aether-Khemist (160)
Runelord (100)
Runelord (100)
Arkanaut Admiral (120)
- General
Endrinmaster (120)

Battleline
20 x Longbeards (200)
- Great Axes & Shields
20 x Warriors (160)
- Double-handed Duardin Axes & Shields
10 x Arkanaut Company (120)

Units
3 x Endrinriggers (120)

War Machines
Arkanaut Frigate (240)
- Main Gun: Heavy Sky Cannon
Grundstok Gunhauler (160)
- Main Gun: Sky Cannon
Gyrobombers (80)
Gyrocopters (80)
Gyrocopters (80)
Gyrocopters (80)
Gyrocopters (80)

Total: 2000 / 2000
Extra Command Points: 0
Allies: 0 / 400
Wounds: 128

The main elements I want to include are a sky frigate and a ton of gyrocopters. The rest is just what would go well with them.

Ideas much appreciated

Cheers
