Josh Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I Just thought it would be a good place for the people who enjoy going to a tournament & hashing out & refining their list, I feel it would be a good place to share & post up Death lists doing well around the world, because lets face it we aren't tier 1 and need all the help we can get!

seanafly Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I’ve been wanting to get back into Death for ages now, saw this list and immediately built it. Slaughtered a beast claw player with it first game. Except I run an extra necromancer instead of the 10 skellies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undeadly Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 When I attended a tournament in San Antonio, this was the list that I brought; The general idea of it was based around overwhelming the enemy with threats, and presenting a very solid defense, with the incredible mobility and near immunity from Shooting VLoZD. Arkhan in in there to satisfy the magic requirements, and help take down some of the more stubborn enemy units with his spells. While the VLoZD flew around the board, causing havoc in the backline and triggering the Gravesites of both the Black Knights and the Direhounds, Arkhan and his magic show sat in the back and supported the skeletons, while also crippling/obliterating the enemy if they came near.

Thanatos Ares Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I’m taking my double dragon night list to heat 2 this weekend!! i find that playing a lot with a list and getting to know what it can and can’t do is actually more important than list design to a certain degree. for example on paper my list doesn’t look highly competitive but at Blood Tithe I beat muderhost/Gore pilgrim combo, Fyreslayers and warherd. Narrowly lost to Changehost twice but they were dice roll loses not list/play fails. anywho my list: Legion of Night VLoZD general shard of night deathlance, Shield, chalice vile transference -1 bravery Command trait VLoZD sword, Shield, chalice pinions 3x 5 Dire Wolves 5 Black Knights 2 Harbringers w/ Halberds 2x Terrorgheists 2000pts bang on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanatos Ares Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Grand Host or Sacrament do seem to be the strongest options competitively tho so far admittedly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippyRick Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I am at Heat 2 this weekend and my Death are back out. Going with Grand Host of Nagash with most of my GHB2017 List. Played a couple of games so far and this is the first list i have used Nagash in AoS as well. He is a beat stick and with the new book and the spells selected he dishes out serious damage. It is by no means a tournament honed list but my previous list was out of the ordinary which i often try to do, so will have to see how it goes. The new addition of the 20 Dire Wolves is great, love the size of the unit and the front line vs charging armies. Nagash Supreme Lord Of The Undead (800) - Lores of the Dead Spell 1 : Fading Vigour (Deathmages) - Lores of the Dead Spell 2 : Vile Transference (Vampires) - Lores of the Dead Spell 3 : Amaranthine Orb (Vampires) Necromancer (110) - Artefact : Grave-sand Timeglass - Lore of the Deathmages : Overwhelming Dread Cairn Wraith (60) Cairn Wraith (60) Tomb Banshee (80) 6 x Spirit Hosts (240) 6 x Spirit Hosts (240) 20 x Dire Wolves (240) 10 x Skeleton Warriors (80) -Ancient Blades 10 x Skeleton Warriors (80) -Ancient Blades Total: 1990 / 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how to attack it! Not looking for advice or anything like that.. just someone from the "opposing side" saying that this list looks really strong save for no real way to hold multiple objectives.

Marc Wilson Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 This might be simplistic but for me matched play is objective play and objective control is about getting to them first and not dying, preferably mobbing them with bodies and denying space - you don't need to kill anything at all, or if you do only the stuff that can kill you. Everytime I start to think of a Death list I just think of multiple blocks of 40 Skeletons. There's mileage in just multiple cheap casters and then just Skeletons / Wolves.

Undeadly Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 3 minutes ago, Bradifer said: How did the tournament go? Did you post a battle report anywhere that I missed? No battle report yet, but the gist was: Round 1: Chaos Dwarfs vs LoN. Major victory for LoN This was the first round against the ringer, so a major victory was already earned. But either way, I still scored a Major Victory. His list was the stereotypical Chaos Dwarf list, featuring a load of Bull centaurs, the flying bull, a bunch of demon engines, and lots of infantry. He evaporated one of my Skeleton Hordes and tore straight through Arkhan, but my VLoZD swung around and helped capped his objective. I also scored a first turn charge thanks to some lucky rolls and a good grave site positioning, tying up his flying bull before it could get anywhere. Round 2: Big Dino Thunder Stomp VS LoN. Draw. This game was a bit trickier, although not quite brutal on my side of the game. He played the Thunderstomp starquake list, or what ever it is called, which features the Bastilidons. Those things are rather tough to crack, although they were far less scary after a particularly good round of magic thanks to Arkhan. I was able to tie up his Cold one Knights and Carnosaurs via my Wolves and Mortis engine respectively, although it was only due to a lucky, or rather unlucky roll in his case, that his bastilidon got stuck in the middle of a Skeleton wave that pulled it apart. It was a draw however, since we had to control both objectives to make it a victory, and neither of us could break the other. Round 3: Slyvanneth/w Raptors V LoN; Major Victory This was a bit of a tricky matchup, seeing as he had a lot of ranged power, and a very frightening fist of Kurnoths/w scythes and Durthu. He filled the middle of the board up with trees, but I paid that little mind. Out of the 6 objectives, I held my two for the entire game, and claimed the middle two for most of the game. I than proceeded to swing my VLoZD around his army, and carve up his backline, and than I proceeded to "Pillage" his backlines, carving through some Kurnoths, and two units of Dryad. Arkhan got lucky, and Curse of Year'd a Son of Durthu into non-existence, before getting mauled by the Kurnoths. Spell wise, things were very important. The fact that the necromancers could fill out the basic "Upkeep" spells of Vanhels, MS and AB while Arkhan could nick their spells made them a very powerful combination. Plus, the Mortis Engine proved pretty useful at tanking charges and hits. Fading Vigour and Overwhelming Dread proved to be super valuable, and helped neuter a good deal of the enemy, and can really blunt the blow a elite unit or monster can do. Although, Amarthine orb felt a little underwhelming. It's a fun spell, no doubt, but I feel like Soul Harvest might actually be the more efficient offensive spell, since it's a flat d3 wounds that can potentially turn into d6.

Tizianolol Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I played friendly a sacrament list with vlozd too. The only problem of lagoon of sacrament battalion is you have to protect mortis engine. If it dies , you lose bonus from the battalion. Mortis is a big model , it's hard protect it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
