DEUS SIGMAR!
For some weeks we want to run a new Kotbs Fun Warband from 19:00-21:00 Altdorftime on Wednesday.
That is the time before our Main Dwarf Warband. So after that we switch to our Dwarfs.
What is this about:
The Empire Swordsmen is a fun concept Warband.
Main Focus are 20 Kotbs and 4 WP. All Kotbs have slotted the Elemental Damage Tactic and the Damaging Aura active. Meaning every Kotbs will do around 100-150 Damage to everyone around them every 3 seconds. So the plan is to go full Sword and Shield to survive for some time and get these damaging ticks on Destro. And fight for the Emperor!
If this WB is on a max setup it does something like 2400 Damage to 24 targets in 30 feet every 3 seconds. That is pretty much a BW on a bad day. And it is usually not enough to whipe anything on Destro as 4 Healers should be enough to outheal their groups with a Groupheal every 3 seconds. But the idea is just to add the damage on Top and a Kotbs SnB Warband should be capable of sustaining some Damage. Slice Through and some coordinated Sunshield drops should give some Sorcs a headache.
Roleplay:
No Roleplay required. We scream a little /say Deus Sigmar on command and try to catch destros for some Damage ticks and to get the kill messages going.
Who can join:
Pretty much every Kotbs or WP lvl 16+. But for the Kotbs we highly recomend him to be at lvl 27 so he can have the Elemental Damage Tactic Active.
The damaging Aura on physical Damage does no damage at all. Therefore we need the Elemental Damage Tactic.
Builds:
I will not provide general builds, at least for now, but provide some key points.
For each Kotbs we need this:
Spoiler:
Mighty Soule (Do elemental Damage)
Slice Through (Hit 3 enemies with snares)
Aura:
All out Assault
We will provide 1 or 2 High Resist debuffers with something like this:
Spoiler:
Warpriest build:
Spoiler:
Groups cleanse and AoE Detaunt could be swapped when there is more than on healer per group, AP restore and bubble would be a way to go either, the 2nd WP could go higher into Salvation for Martyr's Blessing.
Just have to stay near enough behind the tanks to fuel RF with Smite and swap Book with Shield for that, defensive RR with FS, Block, fill with Parry and Wounds.
Style for Kotbs:
No cool event without a unfiromed style.
Actually you can come with your Kotbs as you like. Provided he is in a SnB setting and uses the follwing Shield as an appearance.
Spoiler:
IF and only IF you want to get into a little uniformity we use mostly the T1 and T2 armors to have as much puffy Arms as possbile on the Kotbs. Also Armor parts in Black. But like I said this is only if you want to do it.
Style for WP:
Get yourself please the same appearance shield from T1 to blend in.
Cool but what is with my WH or BW?
If the WB is not full we will get WHs and BWs in. But that is not the focus of the WB. If we are getting more Kotbs you might will get removed from the WB. OFC we could build a somewhat meta WB with 8kotbs/8BW/8WP and meltabomb pug warbands. But what would be the fun in that?
