I was just wondering what you would think of this list. I know full mounted easterling force is not that good, but its a list I think I'll like playing with( I love easterlings). Tips/replacement opinions are welcome.

Can drop 2 kataphrakts to make them all black dragons.

I play Easterlings a bit I always use the black dragon upgrade. I recommend it. This list looks fun it might have trouble if your playing competitively.

Black dragon's for sure and drop the captain for a war priest if you can. With him you can support other cavalry and use his fury to save you models since you have low numbers.

Looks like a fun list.
You may want to consider adding a War Priest, to increase survivability, and upgrading to Black Dragon. You really need the extra fight value.

I havent actually played easterlings much but i sort of feel like the captain might be better and that since you have such low numbers youd actually glbe getting less out fury then if you had a horde.

If you go black dragon's Fury is less useful, as the reliable courage buff isn't as necessary with Courage 4.

Fury should be channeled and used for the save it gives. The army has only 17 models and you really need to keep them alive for as long as possible

Thanks for the replies. I totally agree with the black dragons.

I still think it would preform well in 500p tournaments, due to the armored horses.

Have yet one question:
Is it worth to use a warpriest and only use him for bladewrath on the dragonknight? I think the fury is not worth to use in such small army (with priest army becomes even smaller). If I screw up the 5+ save, I would be very boned.

All in all thanks for tuning in
