Black Citadel

...seeing as I have now decided to finally pull finger and do some work for this place, a good place to start would be to talk about the upcoming Warmachine/Hordes competition at Conquest in 2 weeks. This will be the first competition I have played in at a tournament for War/Hordes, and I am looking forward to it.

It will be the last competition and possibly last chance to MK1 War/Hordes, as everyone will be playing the new MK2 since the rules are free to download at the moment.

To break with tradition, I am going to use my Cygnar. I have been using and abusing my Khador for close to three years now and I am keen to give another army a whirl. At the moment I am enjoying using a Nemo list that I will be using at Conquest. It is very brittle if you can get close, but it is also very annoying and have multi-spam ability.

Below are the two lists I am taking:

Player: AJ
Army: Cygnar + Mercenary allies
Points: 500pt limit

List 1

Commander Adept Nemo - 75pts / 5 VPs
Squire - 18pts / 1 VP
Thunderhead - 154pts / 4 VP's
Lancer - 76pts / 2 VP's
Journeyman Warcaster - 25pts / 1 VP
Storm Smith - 12pts / 1 VP
Storm Smith - 12pts / 1 VP
Captain Arlen Stangeways - 32pts / 1 VP
Lady Aiyanna and Master Holt - 43pts / 2 VPs
Alexia Ciannor - 52pts / 1 VPs

Total: 499pts / 19 VPs

List 2

Captain Victoria Hayley - 58pts / 5 Vps
Squire - 18pts / 1 VP
Centurion - 113pts / 3 VPs
Hunter - 88pts / 2 VPs
Major Katherine Laddermore - 59pts / 2 VPs
Storm Lances (3) - 93pts / 3 VPs
Stormguard (6) - 68pts / 2 VPs

Total: 497pts / 18 VPs

I have never used Hayley (in fact Nemo is the only caster I have tried for Cygnar, and I have Darius, Kraye, Hayley and E+P Nemo) so the second list will be interesting. It will probably be reserved for facing Skorne, Everblight and Cryx armies, as I plan to use Nemo most of the time.
