The 9th Age Leithel's 9th Age Lists

[Leithel]

So in the grand theme that @Mad 'At has started, I'd like to have a thread to create my own themed or un-themed lists for the 9th age and get feedback from people so I've created a thread. There will be fluffy lists in here, strong tournament lists and lists where I'm trying to break 9th's rules as much as I can.

My first list is a Von Karstein monsterous romp

Von Karstein Bloodline
Vampire Count
Level 2 Necromancy
Monsterous Revenant with Fly
Armour of Destiny + Shield
Ogre Blade
Storm Caller

Vampire Courtier
Level 2 Necromancy
Monsterous Revenant with Fly
HA Shield

Total: 850pts

14 Ghouls + FC + Skirmish
14 Ghouls + FC + Skirmish
13 Ghouls + FC + Skirmish
Total: 500pts

10 Barrow Knights + FC
Varkolak + Fly
Varkolak + Fly
Total: 614 pts

Still a few points spare to tweak the list with items or skills on the Revenants.
The army runs as a column, black guard out front with the 4 flying beasts behind. Shotting at the beasts is -2 due to the stormcaller and the cover from the knights and ghouls. Ghouls hound the flanks, redirect light cavalry and a damn hard to shoot at with -2 to hit because of skirmish and stormcaller.

Revenants make or take a charge, hold for one turn and then are supported by the flyers. Magic is used to restore any wounds lost in combat or to indirect shooting like mortars or hell cannons (or whatever those nasty damn things are called now).

Is it too cheesy? It'd be fun for me to play, wonder if my opponents would enjoy it as much.

Looks like a fun list to me. A bit unsure about the Barrow Knights, would be cool to see a Shrieking Horror in there an another flying beast. But it is a cool idea to use them as cover and might be worth it.

About the gear on the lord, I'd give him Talisman of Supreme Shielding instead of Armour of Destiny, that way you could give him Dragonscale Helmet for more protection.

Any ideas for gear on the Hero? I think making him a bsb and maybe giving him War Standard could be cool. A single model running around with +3 combat res.

Thanks @Mad 'At for the feedback. Good idea on the talisman, I'll do that when I run the list. I guess I didn't want to go with the screamer and not really take any troops at all, but I suppose it's cheesy enough already anyway so it wouldn't hurt. I should check to see if ghouls will provide any cover to large targets.

Good idea on the BSB, pretty cheap too so probably worth it. I don't really have a model to represent that, but it shouldn't matter too much in my gaming group.
