I?ve been thinking about the difficulties in playing against AMTL lists, and I have come to a point where I?m not sure about something. I wonder, assuming a typical 2700-3000 point tourney, what is the most powerful or abusive list that can be made using the current AMTL list?
I?ve faced several variations, but the most common I?ve seen is the all-titan list. Now, an all-titan list is powerful, but it is rather easy to out maneuver. So, as long as you can resist taking the titans head-on, and you hide enough of your forces within double range of the objectives until the third turn, then you should win the game. The tactic isn?t very satisfying, but it does work. Therefore, I figure the ?all-titan? list isn?t the most powerful or abusive list that the AMTL can use.
So, if I wanted to power game the list, what would you suggest? Being specific helps, but barring that it would help if you used the following shorthand for the different types of formations that can make up an AMTL list. The choices for the list can be broken down into titans, heavies, mediums, and lights. ?
To explain, when I say Titan, I generally only mean battle titans, which means one big, generally fearless unit that can take a lot of punishment. This group includes ordinatii, but not warhounds. Heavies generally include the heavy knights, the normal knights in large groups, and warhound pairs. Mediums include normal knights in non-upgraded formations, LR tanks, individual warhounds, and maybe praetorians in transports. Lights include all the cheap stuff (generally less than 250pts).
Anyway, what do you think is the most abusive possible AMTL list? If we can figure that out, we can start making the list more fair.
