Long story short I felt like playing infantry heavy and had a ton of fun with this list the other day.
Maddox
- Defender
- Defender
- Firefly
- Squire
Jakes1
- Hammersmith
Runewood
- Firefly
Strangewayes
Max Sword Knights
Max Sword Knights
Steelhead Halberdiers
- Murdoch
Played into Cryx Scaverous list which was about the worst match up due to all the potential souls. Despite AOEs and sprays I still had a ton of guys make it. Feat turn I was able to kill Malice, Nightmare, Deathjack, bone chicken, Aikos1 and War Siren. MAT 11 Pow 13 Flanking Sword Knights are wonderful to behold and having 30 dudes at DEF 15 to melee charges really blunts the alpha.
Any other goofy fun lists to liven up a dead sub forum?

I played at a champions tournament last weekend solo listing Siege2 in Gravediggers, the full list is below. It was remarkably good fun (and not particularly competitive) highlights included getting to go second pick the side with the trench terrain every game (I won 5/6 rolls to go first/pick sides. I had one very frustrating game against Wurmwood where I lost seven Trencher Infantry to a Hellmouth top of one. I lost most of my games due to leaving Siege far too far forwards, when I could've leapt to safety.
The two I did win were a Scenario victory against a Khador player who was far too tentative with his colossal and gave me too many shocktroopers and bombadiers for the blockhouses to shoot. Second win was a Scenario victory against Ashlynn D'Elyse, who game me a tough fight, having Trenchers of his own, a unit of Stormblades with the UA and some warjacks (Nomad, Nomad, Talon, and a Rover on Gaston). The scenario was Recon2 and I was very lucky one turn to clear and score my opponents flag.
Overall double blockhouses aren't very effective. However the look on your opponents face when you place 5 extra terrain pieces and a razor wall on the board is a picture! I think one with him might actually be a reasonable idea, though not the top tier competitive stuff, it's still solid.
The overall idea of the list was to have a silly list that was fun to play, and that's certainly what I got!

I was tired of not being able to deal with armor, so I've been taking more lists that can crack armor. Even if I lose, at least I don't feel helpless across the table. Black Industries is the prime suspect of this, but Bones of Orboros, Primal Terrors, The Exalted, etc all present problems to our light infantry shredding armies.
So my pair for an upcoming tournament is Siege1 and Stryker3. I would prefer Stryker in Gravediggers, but I don't have my commandos painted, so it's in Storm Division.
Stryker3
Ironclad
Rowdy
Squire
Storm Strider
Laddermore
Rhupert
Savio Acosta
Stormblade Captain
Silverline Stormguard (max)
Stormguard (max)
Storm Lances (min)
They might die like flies, but whoever makes it will at least kill whatever they get to.

Unfortunately Stormguard get there so much slower. Stormblades getting advance move, but not Stormguard mean Blades can almost keep up with Lances turn 1, but Guard (who are supposed to be a screening unit) are going to struggle to get there. Have you played them in the tournament yet? Anything interesting?

One of my frustrations with the Storm Division theme is exactly that. We have 4 Storm Knight units and multiple Stormsmith models, and only the Stormblades get Advance Move. I think it should be a flexible choice like Armored Corps, it would be much better. The electrical immunity benefit is also 99% useless, but that's another discussion.
Tournament is next weekend, but played a game yesterday against Grayle in Devourer's Host. Ended very quickly when Stryker3 got killed single-handedly by Lord of the Feast. B2B with Rowdy camping 4 focus and got slaughtered. Storm Rager and full corpses, with Divine Inspiration. It wasn't pretty.
So hardly anything else in my army got to see action since Stryker died so quickly, but the Stormguard were set to get killed a lot by Wolf Riders. If nothing is within 10", they can't do anything but run again and try not to die, which is pretty hard for them to manage. Granted on the counter attack it would have only taken 1 per wolf rider with the feat, so who knows how it might have played out long term.

Firefly act as positive charge beacons and leap damage buff during feat.
With escort and sprint They usually arrive where u need the buff.
U need to explode the World during feat and they are the key enablers.
U can also always shoot trenchers/Risen in the back for some eleaps early. With tough/Blockhouse casualities are limited.
