Post subject:  Mahud 800pts

So here goes:
1:The betrayer armoured steed
12 Mahud blowpipes

2:Khar'tok: Mahud king, camel, shield, blowpipe, warspear
3 Raiders with blowpipes and warspear
3 half trolls
3 mahud blowpipe spear
3 mahud blowpipe

3: khe'rnek: Mahud chief, camel,blowpipe, warspear, shield
3 Raiders with blowpipes and warspear
3 half trolls
3 mahud blowpipe spear
3 mahud blowpipe

only 6 might, 39 models, however these guys will deal out alot of hurt
especially seeing as I have maxed out blowpipes to go with the betrayer
Sadly I didn't have room for a taskmaster in this list

C&C very welcome

Are blowpipes really all that strong?

For 800 points that's a low-Might, low-numbers, low D and low F army, but it's propably the best it's going to get when only taking Mahud.

I'd rather have 5 spears than an armour for the Betrayer.

The army is going to look very badass, that's for sure :-D

I do not believe there is any limit on blowpipes.
From all my searching they are not "Bows", so the 1/3 limit would not apply.

I'm sorry, but these numbers at 800 points don't work. and only 6 might. that army will go down.

To make it a army witch is better its maybe a idea to put the betayer on a fell beast, so you can hurl and that's really distructive.
Blowpipes: they are good, because of the betrayer and your whole army has them. but don't give them to your heroes, 5 points for a blowpipe is 4 more than it should be.

@denize: low fight doesn't matter, with 6 half trolls F5 you will smash averything.

I should take this: ( I don't knwo the exact point value's, but this is a gues)

betrayer on fell beast
8 mahud warriors+blowpipes+4spears
2 halftrolls
-------------
just attack and shoot when you have the chanse. use your fell beast for hurl, thats really distructive
----------------
mahud king: camel shield warspeard
10 mahud raiders+blowpipes
----------------,
This warband can be really distructive. you just trow them against a army and with impirial you will kill most of the enemy army. use your might for 2 heroic moves to charch again and your charch will work good.

mahud captain: camel shield warspear
8 mahud warriors+blowpipes+4spears
2 halftrolls
--------------
try to get your captain with your camels for 2 more heroic moves.
the rest just attacks.
becouse of the half trolls they can match most of the warbands becaus it's hard to slay them and they slay others easilly.
---------------------
the army I would make (in 60 seconds)
But i don't know the point values for sure.

MVG,

800 points leaves you with enough for a Mumak, doesn't it? Get one of those, and it should take care of things pretty well.

Post subject:  Re: Mahud 800pts

well let's actually give you a list of models I own, so you get an idea, also the ringwraith is the original idea behind this list:
1 king foot 1 mounted
1 chief mtd
3 chieftains foot
6 half trolls
6 raiders(1 banner)
24 mahud(12blowpipe,6spear,5normal, 1banner)
and 2 mumakil with tusk weapons (1 with sigils)
all those guys are painted the same as each other ie blue and brown, with black skin and white face paints.
I don't know why I just don't like mixing different colour paterns together it looks chaotic.

Post subject:  Re: Mahud 800pts

do you have a fell beast?

then take a mumak with some upgrades. and crew with blowpipes

mahud king on camel+schild+warspwear
7mahud raiders+blowpipes (captain just acts as a normal warrior)

betrayer
mahud warriors witch blowpipes (and some spears)

with the remaining points just make the mahud warriors half trolls, and/or fill the warband of the mahud king.

Post subject:  Re: Mahud 800pts

I do have a rw on fell beast, however don't have a 7th mahud raider, one of them already has a banner to boot
heres' another list
800pts yet again

Mumak with beast master, rocks, sigils
11mahud

Mahud king camel, shield, warspear
5 mahud raiders

the shadowlord on horned fell beast

so plenty of killing power, not much staying power for the models not on the mumak

Post subject:  Re: Mahud 800pts

The best I can make with the models you give (assuming the Fell beast):

The Betrayer - Fell Beast
6 Mahûd Warriors - blowpipe
6 Mahûd Warriors - spear, blowpipe

Mahûd Tribesmaster
11 Mahûd Warriors - blowpipe
1 Mahûd Warrior - banner

Mahûd King - war spear, war camel, shield
3 Mahûd Raiders - blowpipes
3 Mahûd Raiders
6 Far Trolls of Far Harad

800 points, 39 men, 26 blowpipes, 6 Might

If you don't feel like buying a Fell beast, you have 40 more points to spend on whatever you like. I'd say that the amount of models you own would make a better 750 pts army than an 800.

6 Mahûd Raiders - blowpipes, warspear
6 Mahûd Warriors - blowpipe

Mahûd Tribesmaster, blowpipe, shield, camel, warspear
11 Mahûd Warriors - blowpipe
1 Mahûd Warrior - banner, blowpipe

Mahûd King - war spear, war camel, shield
6 half Trolls of Far Harad
6 Mahûd Warriors - spear, blowpipe

6might, 39 models, 1 monster, 1 spell caster, 31 blowpipes

Hey just wanted to give you props on your army man, they look great, you nailed the skin-tone. What paints did you use for it?

Author:  Grungehog [ Tue Jul 16, 2013 12:35 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Mahud 800pts

the skin is scorched brown, the cloth is regal blue highlighted with ice blue as dry brush, the brown cloth is scorched brown> bestial brown> snakebite leather

I do not have any contributions to make to your army list and my comment is off-topic, but nevertheless I have to say that your army looks extremely bad-ass!

An effective army and brilliantly painted too, well done. If you extend the points limit, I think you should get some haradrim warriors with bows to make sure that the enemy can't take you that easily at very long range.

Author:  Grungehog [ Tue Jul 16, 2013 10:32 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Mahud 800pts

tbh if I extended the points I would probably go for a warband of watchers of kaarna with bows led by a Dalamyr

they're my only other models that at a push have a similar colour patern
