Hello, as the title implies this is my first army list so I may have gotten some things wrong if so any help would be appreciated. Cheers
Schwere SS-panzerkompanie 1650 point list
HQ
Michael Wittman and 2iC Command tiger I E- 590
Combat platoons
2 Tiger I E- 480
2 Tiger I E- 480
Weapons platoon
1 pioneer squad w sd kfz 251/7 half track- 90
Total points = 1640
It's not a bad list, though I generally wouldn't suggest it as a first army. Heavy tanks companies can run into some severe issues when dealing with things like Pioneer infantry. I would suggest grabbing the new starter and seeing about using the Tigers as a supporting option for the panzergrenadiers then going to an almost pure tiger list.
Is the new set already out? and thanks much appreciated
won't be till Early October I think but it is extremely worth the wait for what you get in it.
Ok thanks and I thought up this list would this be better for a beginner?

That wouldn't be too bad. A German player may be able to tweak it a bit but it will handle just fine. Not sure if you want to go 3-5 or 4-4 for your panzers.
I didn't even think of that, I think I will go with 4-4 thanks for pointing that out
I think Michaells has created a nice little Panzer list for you there. I might be tempted to drop the 2iC PIV and take a section of some form of AA, be it half tracked or Flak38(t)s. You may well face air support from any allied opponent and you will want that protection.
On a similar note, the 2 Tigers are a quick way of getting a large bulk done and look super cool and are very hard however you might want to consider some form of armoured mortars or artillery just to provide yourself with some additional firepower.
Just a few thoughts.
Ok thanks brother vogt I'll see what I can whip up thanks for the advice
I haven't played a great deal of FoW having only started the game myself, but one thing my opponents and I have found is that a force which tends to favour just one aspect doesn't last long.
My Brit Para's would think all their christmases would have come at once with either of those lists.
Just like in real war - tanks need support from infantry and vice versa.
Just my $0.02
True as that is I made these lists because right now I dont have alot of money so when I do get more I shall add more infantry
Looks okay but, as others have suggested, probably not a good starter army. I love the Tigers though...
You'll be wanting a bit of anti-air as well as some scouts I think. Otherwise you'll be strugling against airpower and dug-in infantry respectively.
What book is it from?
