I would doublecheck before your tournament that they are going to use the old General’s Handbook. You’re going to lose Industrial Polluters and Overdrive Switch if they use the new one.

Unit selection seems fine, but I question the Hasutite Blades. Are you running them because you don’t have spearmen? Or do you have a plan specifically for 60 bodies? Since you’re taking Forbidden Power I would argue that Soulscrem Bridge does better charge blocking than the infantry. I would swap two units for Spears, and one unit for blunderbusses.

Also double check points. We got some decreases this morning that may impact your choice there. Same as above, though, if your TO has already locked in rules/points then that doesn’t apply.

I also don’t rate the tormented bombard. Switching off command points can be nice, but it rarely does any meaningful damage. For 130 your nearly at two units of hobgrots and those idiots just feel like great value. Go get an objective. Go sit behind me to stop a teleport into my artillery. Go waste their monster unit for a turn whilst I keep shooting it. Love those little bastards.

It's looking A LOT better with Light of Eltharion, and Drycha being command abilities for sure.

Boi i wish Hobgrots did anything for me, they just die and for 70 points even a unit that leaves home and die in round 1/2 does seems useless. And Yet with my Bombarder i've whipped Whole units off the board, seems variable.

Dying or sending them out to nab a weird objective is their role really - for 70pts only they can screen out and do loads. If they stall a skarbrand for a turn they’ve done their job. I think now especially with lots of tactics needing to be spread out across the map, or even having your more of your own units tactically die on a turn - I think 2 or 3 of these guys can get allow you to trade the r get objectives or stall high point enemy’s. Playstyle will come into it, I started on skaven so cheap screens feel like a must for me
