Post subject:  Corsair Fleets 500pts SBG
Was thinking about making an all Corsair army, here are a couple lists I came up with. (I should mention that I dont have any of the models yet)

1 Captain w/ 2 handed weapon - 55
1 Captain w/ crossbow - 55
1 bo'sun w/ 2 shield - 50
10 Corsairs w/ spear and shield - 90
16 Corsairs w/ shield - 128
10 Corsai Arbalester - 120
498 units, 41 units, 10 bows, 4 might

OR:

1 Captain w/ 2 handed weapon - 55
1 Captain w/ crossbow - 55
1 bo'sun w/ 2 shield and bow- 55
11 Corsairs w/ spear and shield - 99
16 Corsairs w/ shield - 128
12 Corsairs w/ bow and spear - 108

500 points, 42 units, 13 bows, 4 might

What do you guys think? I think Corsairs could be pretty devastating with their throwing weapons, Though I am unsure how they play as i have never played them before.

I like the second list better purely from a monetary standpoint, but let me know what you think?

I prefer the first list. Crossbows, at least for me, are really scary. :o

Go with the crossbows, they're awesome ;) D6 in a corsair army is excellent.

Crossbows it will be then. And yeah the D6 is great, but they cost more. Unless i can get a conversion that will work.

Corsair Captain w/ 2H weapon
Corsair Bo'sun w/ crossbow
Corsair of Umbar with shield and spear x11
Corsair of Umbar with spear x5
Corsair of Umbar with shield x16
Corsair of Umbar with bow x16

50 models, 2 Might - 16 bows

One of my friends uses this list and it's deadly, you have to use some WE-esque strategies though because of their flimsy armor. It's also rather easy on the pocketbook.

Thanks CreatureFear, i think i will start with a list like that and then either convert up some Arbalesters or buy some later on. Just to take it easy on the pocket book.

I like WE tactics, so that will be fun.

Looks like a solid list, could perhaps use a little more might.

The Bo'sun could easily be replaced with another captain (so you'd then have 4) - my friend uses that list because that's what came in the boxes, but it's always worked well anyway, especially since it sits at a solid 50 models.

Yeah I can always do a little converting to get the bo'sun to look like a captain. But i like the list, lots of models, lots of thowing dagges, thats alot of potential damage.

I needed to see this thread. I've been thinking for some time now that a Corsair army should be my second. There is a sale @ the local retailer tomorrow on box sets and blisters and I think I'm gonna walk in there and buy that exact list. Sweet! Thanks guys.

Hmm.....the first list is ok because you can't move crossbowmen unless you don't want them to shoot.
