So my club is running a Journeyman League this year and I thought it was the perfect chance to learn Major Beth Maddox. Due to a large number of participants my club decided not to restrict the casters to only the new battleboxes, so there is a fairly decent mix of casters and factions. We will also be running on a bi-weekly schedule.
If you've been keeping up with this blog, you will have seen my final 75 points list already, having played it, to some success, against Morghoul last week. The list will break down as follows...
Week 1
Major Beth Maddox - WJ: +30
- Squire - PC: 5
- Firefly - PC: 8
- Ironclad - PC: 12
- Lancer - PC: 10
Week 2
Being restricted to only adding to the battlegroup, I decided my best bet was to play the Charger. This would allow me to Marshal him onto a Journeyman the week after. I don't feel like normally it would be worth sinking thirteen points into the Charger/Journeyman module, but with the need to add only to Battlegroup in week two, this made sense.
- Charger - PC: 9
Week 3
The list here can finally start fleshing out and taking advantage of having both Arcane Shield on the Ironclad, and Dauntless Resolve on the Stormblades to make both more survivable. The Stormblades can also synergise well with the Firefly's +2 to electrical damage.
Journeyman Warcaster - PC: 4
Stormblade Infantry - Leader & 5 Grunts: PC: 10
Week 4
Here I decided to drop in the Officer and Standard to get a higher body count in the Stormblade unit. I then dropped a full unit of Stormlances so I could have a quick, hard hitting flank unit that could take advantage of Maddox's feat. I put a min unit of Trenchers in to hopefully act as a tarpit and to block LoS and absorb some shots from the other infantry.
Storm Lances - Leader & 4 Grunts: 20
10
- Stormblade Infantry Officer & Standard - Officer & Standard: 5
- Stormblade Gunner: 2
Trencher Infantry - Leader & 5 Grunts: 10
Week 5
For my final addition I added in Ragman to help with armour cracking and I moved the Trenchers up to a full unit.
Ragman: PC 4
So this is the list I will be building and painting over the next few weeks. Please feel free to leave suggestions on how you would paint, play or change this list :)
