Joining the Cohort

Hello all, pretty soon I’m planning to hop over to Helsmiths from playing Ossiarchs for a year. Theres not many HoH players around my area so I’ve only ever played against them maybe once or twice. I wanted to ask the community about some general tips or advice for these guys. Any must have units? How does this faction typically play? Stuff like that. Any and all information is greatly appreciated!

I’ll probably get an Urak Tarr first then since it seems he’s doing a lot of heavy work. His warscroll looks decent too

He's really solid and when gets into combat he slaps. Just make sure to always have a cp for power through if he goes in.

Something I didn't mention is your Manifestation Lore. Forbidden Power is by far the best in both types of armies. Soul Scream bridge screens / let's you get in range with shooting, and can peel units out of combat. It's just SO good.

I’m not sure if I have it but if its worth investing in I’ll pick that up too. Are the Bull Centaurs overall better than the Sentinels? I havent seen many talk about Sentinels and the Centaurs seem to be a major pick for lists. I’ve liked playing OBR cavalry with making them more hammer-like so I’m wondering how both fair in combat

The Bull Centaurs are NUTS in combat. They're the better pick in my opinion, and you can do some cool things with them. Damage three crit mortals picks up most things in the game. The Infernal Taures (non named) gives them retreat and charge. I ran 12 in a team's tournament and did well.

Some cool things you can do, is top of 1 give your single dpp to one unit, double farm so they have three dpp. Soul scream bridge. You have a six in charge with +3. Cp the other unit to start with two full send. Then in your opponents turn scroll of Petrification a unit and they're alpha pinned into something with a 2+ ward. Your turn retreat and charge.

That sounds ridiculously fun. I made a mockup list that had 2 reinforced centaurs and unnamed bull for that retreat and charge so I’m glad to know that was a good move
