I like the idea of an all cavalry Salamander army actually! Here are my Army Ideas that I'm building, I always build armies around a theme: - Skink only Salamanders - Villein Brotherhood army - Stormcast Ogres - Seaguard themed Elves - Undead Flying Circus - Solland Rhordia Army Apart from that I'm just building these that are thematic enough on their own: - Neritica army - Waiting for my Nightstalkers to arrive in christmas!
That's my idea, Ogres for everything except the winged guys, that will be of course Elohi and an Ur-elohi. The Ogre list is strangely perfect for the Stormcast actually, even the Gryph Hounds are perfect as Red Goblin Scouts and a Red Goblin Biggit for the Alpha
I don't like the Big dragon guy or the Griffins so that is that. I use the guys on small dragons (4 of them) as a Chariot Horde and I guess the Griffin guys could be the same but with a different magic item if that bothers you. Big dragon guy? No idea, but I've seen Andy2d6 use it as a Chariot Horde on his own.. So I guess the answer for everything is CHARIOTS! !!!!
Indeed! And with the changes on CoK 18 they are extremely good right now too, it's a Win-Win, you get cool models and win games!
Regarding the original topic the two armies I like the most thematically are the Brotherhood Villein Army and the Undead Flying Circus. Lists are as follows : Revenant Flying Circus (1500) - Revenant King on Undead Wyrm with Wings - Revenant King on Undead Wyrm with Wings - Revenant Horde with Dragonshard Shield - Regiment of Zombies - Barrow Wights - Troop of Wraiths - Troop of Wraiths - Pharaoh with Wings I'm painting it as a completely spectral army, using Mortarchs as Kings, Morghast as the Barrow Wights and a Death looking guy with a scythe as the Pharaoh. Plans to take it to 2k include Nagash as a Vampire on Dragon and a Regiment of Revenant Cavalry.
Brotherhood list is more or less like this: - Horde of Villein Spearmen with Strength - Horde of Villein Martyrs - Horde of Villein Bowmen with Piercing - Regiment of Villein Initiates - Regiment of Abysal-Hunt - Swain's Villein Rangers - Forsaken Beast with Breath and Ensnare - Exemplar Hunter on Horse - 2 Devoted with Martyr's Prayer and one with Inspiring too - 2 Villein Siege Artillery - Mounted Adjutant with Lute I'm forgetting something but that's is what I can do right now.
