8th Ed. The Joys of Tetto+Slann

[rantapanda]

I LOVE Hellcannons. I own three of them... all metal!

The DP is a solid choice, but he can definitely be taken down. I prefer the unkillable stubborn disc riding lord myself; the guy can take on just about anything. He is usually accompanied by a second 3+ ward disc riding character (either my BSB or my level 4).

Yeah id take the disc lords over dp any way of the week. +3 ward is just so hard to get through. My opponent was also thinkin of takin some hellcannons with death magic, they are particulary good. Hellcannons could have wrecked my bus and my obs easily, if they would have hit that is.

Hellcannons are great with the lore of Tzeentch or Death. I find hellcannons typically receive mixed reviews, probably because they are highly variable. Sometimes they will do absolutely nothing, while other times they can single handily win you the game.

Very interesting! Just one question?
How did you protect the Slann? Where did he go? In a skink cohort?

Slann indeed ran the whole game, jumping from skirmish/cohort group to another neither tetto or slann were in serious threat. Skink cloud is supposed to tie everything up untill oldbloods or magic takes care of them. Sometimes its quite hard, especially if you are facing lots of flyers. Then usually put ob and slann to the same cohort unit, so the ob can protect the slann : p

Thanks for the clarification

That is indeed a nice combo to run with. In ETC that is quite hardly comped, as tetto if frikking 3 comp points and slann is 1 comp point.. and you can only have max 5 comp points. What do you usually run along with that list. TG?

Don't forget that ETC only lets you get a max of 2 dice during the magic phase, so if you have something like reservior it becomes less useful with this combo

That list is illegal in etc with the new draft out slann is one choice harmonic is one choice if you have spirit leech one choice and tetto 3 choices

I believe that loremasters and wandering deliberation people don't count as being "death" wizards, so that penalty doesn't apply.
