Horned Gobbo list: perfect lore for the weather

Hi all,

Sorry about the weather in Wellington; my celestial wizard lord is getting in some last minute practice.

Here's my list for Horned Gobbo this weekend:

Arch lector: heavy armour, great weapon, dragon helm, 4+ ward
Lvl4 heavens wizard lord: scroll
Bsb: full plate, enchanted shield
38 halberds: full command
5 archers detachment
10 archers
10 inner circle knights: musician, standard
5 knights: musician
4 demigryphs: musician
4 demigryphs: musician
Cannon
Cannon
Steam tank
Hell blaster

Basically my Runefang list but with the tweaks needed to solve the issues I had. Namely: needed 3rd combat punch unit (hello inner circle knights), and needed to give away fewer easy points (goodbye hurricanum and 2nd vanilla knight unit). My net loss was 1 drop, 1 free magic dice, and magical close combat attacks. Given there is only 1 vampire army, and every high elf player and his dog has the banner of the world dragon = not necessarily a bad thing...though fear causing halberds was fun...also losing the +1 to hit I think makes my list better because I'm not worrying about keeping units and combats in the buff bubble = can play more aggressively.

First up I have an ogre list with a unit of lead belchers, and a bus of 30 gnoblars. I'm very keen to see how the army plays...static combat res and stand offish shooting is not something I associate with ogres. 6 levels of gut magic also means having to deal with regen and extra toughness. Looking forward to it!

Any who I'll take pics and do my usual reports. Hopefully I can do better than 10th, and hopefully the weather clears so the  out of towners can get into Welly...
