Can this GKoTH summon some let say Crypt Flayers if he is allied? it is unclear to me. And is this once per battle or what? Indeed he can and yes it'll only be once.

I'm convinced they'll be underestimated and at that size they're almost always going to get their re-rolls. Tweaked a bit though to take on board comments about objectives. At those sizes I ought to be able to summon them repeatedly from my grave sites. LeadersArkhan The Black Mortarch of Sacrament (320)Vampire Lord On Zombie Dragon (440)- Vampiric Sword & Shield & Chalice- Artefact: Wristbands of Black Gold Necromancer (110)Spirit Torment (120)Battleline30 x Chainrasp Horde (240)5 x Dire Wolves (60)5 x Dire Wolves (60)5 x Dire Wolves (60)5 x Dire Wolves (60)20 x Chainrasp Horde (160)BehemothsMourngul (300)- AlliesEndless SpellsGeminids of Uhl-Gysh (40)Soulsnare Shackles (20) Well, you might be right that the ‘rasp’s and doggies will be ignored. After all, your opponent will have Arkan, a VLoZD and a Mourngul to worry about. But what is the overall strategy? The way I look at it, there are 3 basic builds: resilience threat overload sneeky Resilience is the most forgiving. The idea is that your army can take a beating in the first half of the game and then rack up the victory points when the opposing army runs out of steam. The strategy is to outlast the opponent. Threat overload is much more aggressive and aims to present the opponent with more threats than he can handle at once. Victory is achieved in the first half of the game by causing damage at a rate the other guy can’t recover from. These tend to be fast armies with big nasty stuff. But mistakes can cost the game. Finally, the sneaky armies which have tricks to prevent the enemy army from functioning, and then surgically take the opponent’s army apart. Takes lots of experience to pull it off. So there are some examples of overall strategy. Which is best depends on which play style suits your temperament. A resilience ‘rasp list might be built around 120 rasps and plenty of small hero’s to regenerate them. In a threat overload or sneaky build, only 40 rasps would be enough to fill the high model count unit role. They are actually good for this role because they are cheap but still relatively mobile. When all is said and done, every list is ok. It is practice that really makes the difference. The interesting thing about your list is the combination of VLoZD and Mourngul. I am interested to hear how that works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boombatty80 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I'll see how it plays out. It's important to note that I'm primarily a tournament player so the list needs to be very versatile both in terms of what it can handle competitively in melee as well as being able to full-fill objectives.

Honk Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 The command abilities of the flesh eater court was mentioned in the sneak peaks and faction focus... haven’t seen it printed yet XD https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/05/27/27th-may-faction-focus-flesh-eater-courtsgw-homepage-post-3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Indeed it says "These abilities now cost no reinforcement points and have been tweaked so they work once per Ghoul King. In short, this means that every Ghoul King essentially comes with a free unit" Not sure if GKoTH is better than several GK on foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honk Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Well, together with the gkozd you could summon an elite Unit with a varghulf... that‘s pretty scary. and the barefooted one then only costs 40 points aaaand they enter from a board edge... but you need to get all the command points from somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I've checked: GK=140 points, for 2 GK = 280 you have decent immediate rehenforcement (summoning) crypts horros/flyers = 160points*2 : none of those are weak. The GK, by 2 , have decent wounds and attacks and boost their friends from crypts!!! What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatly. But I really think that we have something there: "The GK, by 2 , have decent wounds and attacks and boost their friends from crypts!!!" This is a HUGE wounds+attacks for only 280 points!!! Edited July 5, 2018 by GeneralZero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFI Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Was wondering, with the masters teachings you could do two blobs of grimghadts or even myrmourn squad. Then suicide thd one unit to cause max dmg, it dies, kill one thing witn thd othef heavy hittef unit and use mastedx teachings to summon the unit to a new gravesite. Then thd second heavy hitter dies and uou use the new fresh unig to kill one unit and revive the dead unit and so forth. Invest in your objectives plus hero support and revolve around the 2 killh units for damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
