AoS Hold the Centre Strategies

[scubrat]

So I started playing with the Throne of Skulls tournament rules which has proved interesting, one of the game types is Hold the Centre:

"At the end of each battle round, the player who controls the terrain feature closest to the centre of the battlefield gains 1 point. In addition, at the end of each battle round, each player gains 1 point if their general is within 3" of the centremost terrain feature."

I wondered what you think the best strategies would be other than obviously, summoning? How do you balance your army out in terms of monsters and heroes vs. hordes? Which monsters and heroes do you take?

I guess it depends on army restrictions. What are the army build rules for the tournament?

 

[scubrat]

Good question, we're not really playing with the army build rules just to mix things up a bit. Otherwise the rule is that you can have a 30 model army, so obviously you'd take 30 bastiladons in and that would be a bit dull, so we just use the Clashcomp points system.

This is solid and thematic to boot. =] Nice!

Ok, but we don't play with 30 models each, we play with more.
