Fiery Gunline?

[Noisy Assassin]

I had a rather interesting idea today, and was wondering if anyone had tried something similar. Would probably be around the 2400 mark in order to fit everything in. A gun-line type list based around three units of the following:

Firebelly lvl 2, 5 Leadbelchers w/ musician

This would give you a rather fun bit of shooting, backed up by 3 Fireball spells plus other assorted LoFire goodies. Then when combat inevitably comes, you've got some really nice flanking/support units with S4 breath weapons.

Throw in 600 points of core, a BSB, some Sabres, and a pair of Ironblasters and it might be pretty interesting. Thoughts?

What if you tried 2 units of the FBelly/Leadies combo, and one unit of 7-8 leadies with a BSB with the Flaming Banner?

That way, you get lotsa flaming attacks, and the big batch would utterly decimate any regen or flammable units! It's kinda risky for the BSB, but if you're doing a gunline anyways, might as well, right?

Then, do 600 points of Gnoblar trapper bunkers (12x10packs), and with three Sabres, you'll be plugging up the mainline while the Leadies fire away Throw in the two Ironblasters to put an end to their artillery, and back it all up with a Heavens Slaughtermaster general (hm but then you'd need the butcher tax... are you planning on making one of the FBellies the general?)

I've actually been pondering on making a gunline list. I hope some of these ideas help out a bit

I don't think the firebelly's best spot is with a unit of leadbelchers. He can fire his breath weapon weather or not he marches. He's toughness 5, so he is resilient in combat. I'd rather have him (or a butcher) acting as my hellheart caddy and running him straight up the field with a nasty combat unit.

Go for it though and let us know how it works.
