You could consider this a 'historical' list - no scouts or outriders, as per the fluff, and plenty of characters that would be propping up the bar in the Wyrdfire. I haven't really checked it through carefully, so please keep me honest if you spot flagrant rules avoidance or spurious maths. I'm prone to both.

On the off-chance that this sequence of fights ever gets played, I'd also suggest that one-shot items in this list are gone once they're used and not replenished; also that once the spells are rolled in the first match only and persisted with afterwards. 

These are suggestions, of course, I'm sure it would be tough enough just getting through six back-to-back battles!

  1. Making the Grey Wizard a Loremaster would solve the issue of whether to roll for new spells, as well as being in line with the scenario fluff.

    The army itself looks like a big damn anvil to break upon, and not very different from my 3,000pt force that got tabled twice by Kasfunatu's Ogres/Vampires (so maybe I shouldn't be put in charge of it...)
