Tournament Death Lists Discussion

Recommended Posts

with my revised list i ran arkhan, Prince V, 3 necros it was rare to not have 7 x D3 heals on the unit, and since running 30 no one has killed the unit. People tend to just ignore it which is great

correct, you have enough bodies to tail them back to your heros quite easily

Just play heaps man, its the only way to improve

Interesting ...

Arkhan has never won a game for me, but I’m convinced to keep on trying. My rolls are just the worst for CoY

A normal vlozd would give you points for more wolvies (10+5+5)... and please keep us informed ;-D

arkhan is great for mind games, perfect for killing soft things like judicators & with the heal he is perfect for that role, the odds of CoY going off is next to none - if you bet on 3-7 mortal wounds you'll never be disappointed

prince V is worth it imo - better stat line & the breath is OP

going to play against a couple practise games & see how i go; tzeetch, pestilence & nurgle combo & drac cav heavy SCE

am afraid that the wolves will be upped in points in the next GH 2018... They seem to be really low in point compared to what they do: wounds + speed + shaff + cheap...wow

Do you have confirmed proof? If not then that’s just speculation. Ironjawz have had a mass points reduction so I don’t see a simple dire wolf getting stung.

Considering just about every Faction Focus article talks about point discounts everywhere I’m getting a funny feeling.

Sounds like an army that will have a ton of fun smashing stuff then lose big on objectives every time.  ?

I'm personally excited at the possibilities endless spells will bring to first cohort lists.  Spellportal in particular, if nagash can open one, ram a whole mess of arcane death through it, then slam the portal shut all in the same turn to keep the opponent from sending any of it back at him, then that'll be a lot of fun.  At the very hand of dust becomes a very different and much scarier spell at 22" range instead of 18" range.

That'll all very much depend on the specifics of the endless spell rules, though.  Can the same wizard cast more than one in a turn?  can they be cast and dispelled in the same phase?  How many points do they each cost?  Is that points cost per successful (or even just attempted) casting, or does paying that price allow you to recast the spell as many times as you like?

we shall see ^^ Its a win big or lose big army, I agree 100% there. But if people cant deal with the 3 heros thats a problem

can you explain the 18" hand of dust?

I dont think we know enough re: endless spells just yet, I would imagine that as long as you have the ability to cast multiple & have paid for it you can? that makes sense logically but couple weeks we shall know ^^

Mis-type, 18 was supposed to be 3.  Had 22, 18, and 3 rattling around in my brain, and the wrong two numbers popped out.

I meant its different and scarrier at 22" (1" to first spellportal, 18" to second spellportal, 3" to target) than it is at just 3".
