This is this event's third year and while I toyed with the idea of bringing an Ogre list, I ultimately realized that I had always been the softest army in the room the last two, so I figured I would keep the trend going. At least, as far as the shaky Swedish Comp is concerned....
Ok, so first the cons: It has a lot of points tied up in some very frail characters. Without the Sisters units, it is very thin in the monster hunting and magic utility department. The Wild Rider units are much smaller than I like to run them. It is a little light on fortitude for this kind of list. There are no Waywatchers. The entire army depends on the dragon doing well against hard targets. The BSB is not as well protected in this army as I would like it to be. Finally, I have to get a dragon painted up in the next couple weeks, which will be tricky for me as I still have bad nerve damage in my thumb from a cut long ago and I was never that good of a painter to begin with.
Now the pros: Aside from some of the fast cavalry bits I normally take, it has every toy I like in the army in there in some form. While smaller than normal, the Wild Rider units have shields and with the way I suicide them every game anyhow, they are a lot more expendable. I get to use my nice converted Eagle models, though one used to be my BSB I doubt anyone will care about a guy on one of the models. The shadowdancer has some really neat tricks you can pull with her in conjunction with the Eternal Guard and your free forest. I never really rolled 4++ wards worth a damn on my BSB before, so the minor defensive downgrade probably won't even be noticed. I really like dragons and have two awesome models to work on for the one I want to field. It has both the dispel scroll and froggy scroll in there. Finally, it comps a whopping 16.2 in the Swedish system that this event plans to use, despite being really not much of a downgrade from my normal list that comps 11.5 in the same system.
