Hawthorne's Squadron

By Doodlebug, in Runewars List Building

I wanted to try making an all cavalry list lead by Lord Hawthorne. Not sure how effective it would be, but would sure be fun. Might be better with Lord Hawthorne as an upgrade rather than a unit but I don't think we've seen the upgrade card yet?

Would love to paint them up in a Knights of Dol Amroth theme.

With 18 trays of Oathsworn Cavalry in the list I would need 2 cores and 7 cavalry expansions, not sure I could justify that.

What do you think? How would you build an all cavalry list?

I would love to see this on the table, you should totally do it, record it and put a link on here!

I think their ability to get across the table and hit hard would really put you in the driver seat of your games. I really don't know what would be an effective counter.

interesting list I would also love to see how it plays. a counter might be a large reanimate unit that could soak up hits? maybe with terrifying heraldry that added panic to everything engaged? with some small archer units to spend those panics on and add blight?

Seems like a wonderful list to blight and mortal strike off the table. ;)
