So i have a weird situation. For [reasons] i'm taking a friend's White Banner army to the Salt Lake Showdown in May. It's a completely kitbashed army to make them look like Mongols (Hu playing in background), really cool...but he did not make any remotes. So my dilemma: how can i make a viable list for killy missions and button pushy missions with a Blue Wolf, infantry and no remotes?
Sorry, don't know how to post a list, but here. 1x Bluewolf 1x Liang Kai 2x Monks (5pts version) 1x Beasthunter (17pts Camo version) 1x Shanji AP HMG 1x Shanji Heavy Rocket 1x Shanji Paramedic 1x Jujak Engineer 1x Jujak Lt Total: 300pts & 6 swc Monks are a harris and Shanji/Jujak a core. While lacking a range option of a sniper or misssle launcher, this list is beefy with firepower and toughness. Use the monk harris to distract/kill/throw smoke while the Bluewolf and Core fireteam anvil and hammer the enemy. Even as a 9 regular order list the 3 tactical awareness will help for shufflling around the map, and a core of 5 two-wound HI make for a durable force that can heal and unjam itself with the engineer and paramedic, as well as serve as 2 button pressers for missions. And the beasthunter can be used as a foward detterant or kill piece.
The theme sounds fun, I would have used Dahshat however for bikes. I love when the Hu ride their bikes in one of the MV. ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 7 6 3 BLUE WOLF AP Spitfire, Heavy Flamethrower, Panzerfaust / DA CC Weapon.

So both of these lists have aggressive shooty LTs in links. I'm assuming i'll just have to be careful with the link and play cautiously?
Here's an alternative but it's hard without knowing what you have. ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 9 3 BLUE WOLF AP Spitfire, Heavy Flamethrower, Panzerfaust / DA CC Weapon.

You do have to be careful with the Lt, and all your specialists are in one place as well so placement from templates is real important. That said, I usually bully people with my core using its tact aware to press up the field and lock things down with the HMG and Heavy Rocket. Secure a spot with the core so they won't be hit from outside of their rangebands, and use the rest of the list to enable that by threatening or killing whatever they can.
So far my favorite troop and fireteams in White banner are the Beasthunter (Yu Jing version of course), and a haris of Liang Kai with Shaolin. Liang Kai makes the Shaolin Regular but also when they get to a target they can rip up the enemy. I used to never get Shaolin into CC and now I've done it several times with good success.
In my last tournement I managed to get Liang Kai and two monks into CC with an enemy TAG. I made him roll a whopping 10 armor saves with three hits and a crit. Lucky for me he failed exactly 3 of his saves bringing him down. It was pretty epic having them leap from smoke into melee.
Hmmm. Interesting WB lists. It also feels like there have been happening a lot in past two years, what I had dedicated on studying (and I graduated just past December).
