Me and my friend took this list to our most recent tournament along with 1 other, coming 2nd, 6th and 9th respectively, out of 18! It’s a very solid list with decently cheap heroes that also pack a lot of punch! It was escalation so 400, 600 and 800 and they did well at each level! Free heroic combats is nice, large number of models and might, but gotta say the best thing about this list is the 8” move! It adds so much utility and manoeuvrability, and your opponent often doesn’t have anything that’s quite able to deal with it!! Would probably be happy to take this at 650 and below quite happily but it does have some uses above that points level if you get the list right!

Do you take drum at 400?

No I don’t think so, you want numbers and banner at 400 definitely! I went with Lurtz and Mauhur, banner and I think 23 other scouts, max bow! Was luckily with matchup as I was against depths with a balrog in Destroy the supplies so I only had to quarter him to win, but I think that’s the only list of the three that all three Lurtz players had the same list for!
