ThalmorRepresentative Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Hi TGA Community, I'm new to AoS and am looking to begin with a few friends. I'm looking to start the Daughters of Khaine and the Idoneth Deepkin sometime in the near future (Yeah I'm the elf dude lol). I'm just building a 2000 list to work toward and gradually build, so any input would be appreciated! Sect: Hagg-Nar Battalion: Hagg-Nar Cauldron Guard 1x Slaughter Queen on Cauldron: Command: Devoted Disciples Artefact: Thousand and One Dark Blessings Prayer: Sacrament of Blood 1x Hag Queen on Cauldron: Artefact: Iron Circlet Prayer: Catechism of Murder Battleline: 30x Witch Aelves w/ Paired Knives 10x Witch Aelves w/ Pair Knives 30x Sisters of Slaughter w/ Barbed Whips and Bladed Bucklers Others: 10x Blood Sisters 10x Khinerai Lifetakers 10x Khinerai Lifetakers I think the plan is to surprise the enemy with a more durable build. I have taken two Cauldrons (which might be an over-investment, not sure) to anchor either flank and hopefully effect the center as well. Hagg Nar boosts this effect with +1 to saves. I am not sure about how good the fanatical faith save becomes, does the +1 roll for Blood Shield apply to fanatical faith? The Thousand and One Dark Blessings makes the Slaughter Queen even more of a tank. The Hag Queen can also buff with Catechisms of Murder, which I'm also thinking about taking Crimson Rejuvenation, but I figured that I would want CoM more. 30 Witches and 30 Sisters of Slaughter to charge in and cut through infantry, one in the center, and one nearby on the flank. 10 aelf Witch Squad is meant for rearguard duty and objective guarding. Blood Sisters are meant to anchor and put pressure on a particular flank. The Khinerai are meant to be in reserve from turn one, then come down behind enemy lines and clean up any vulnerable ranged units. When they complete their task, the Khinerai will charge into any combats or weakened units (hopefully from the rear) and help finish them off. That's how I'm planning it for the most part! Would appreciate any advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richelieu Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Couple of things. Witch Aelves get bonkers with buffs and you're pretty light on them. The DoK spells are excellent and the prayers are even better. You should also generally have 1 source of witch brew per large unit. You have 5 large units and 1 witch brew. Unbuffed those life takers will be useless and they will quickly outpace your blood shields (they don't buff fanatical faith btw). If it were me, I'd drop the hag queen on cauldron and 5 lifetakers and pick up 4 hag queens on foot and a Medusa. That way you've got prayers and witch brew for all your units. The fact you get a prayer plus witch brew on a single 60 point model makes hag queens possibly the most potent buffer in AoS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richelieu Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Another thing. You only get a single artifact, plus one additional artifact per battalion you include. In this case, your second artifact is probably best as a shadow stone on the Medusa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
