First swing at a Mordheim list - Possessed

Ok. So I'm debating using Mordheim as an excuse to start a WoC army...

Here's the list I came up with:

Magister
-shortbow
Ritual: Visions of Torment (10) - stun target

2x Possessed

2x Brethren
-shortbow
-2x swords

3x Brethren
-Longbows

No real clue. I could drop the Brethren down to one each and work a Mutant in the list...Thoughts?

General theory is:
Magister sticks close to the 2x sword Brethren, 3x w/ bows hang back, 2x Possessed run as linebreakers.

Bows of all types are good. As are swords for parrying.

There is a trick to grouping your henchmen. You want as many groups as legally possible in my mind and not just one group. Here is why: a group of henchmen all get the same move up... Like ws or bs when you roll it. If they are in 3 groups you get potentially 3 different rolls meaning 3 shots to get that lads got talent, giving you heroes beyond what you can start with.

I finish all my finals on Monday. I'll try to tell you what I think of this then, as well as hopefully have my list up.

Another general pointer. Buy the max heroes starting out.

K, I could drop the brethren to try and fit in some mutants.

So if I buy max heroes i'd be going out without any henchman at first.

Is that too much of a pendulum swing back?

Maybe. Its a hard decision. If you have too few guys you get swarmed and that's bad. If you don't have enough heroes you get behind in experience.
