Everything seems better to me - except for the more expensive Fireborn, but that needed to happen. I'll miss the double shot on monsters from the Fireglaives, though. I'm glad they fixed their editing errors as well. But this also looks like Hobgobs are officially not allowed, right? Yeah I'm still not sure on this as well. I mean if you are building a list with the official GW warscroll builder so maybe you can. It just still advises you to use the grots warscroll.

I haven't tried him yet, but I've got my eye on the Chaos Sorcerer Lord, mainly because he can buff LoA troops and warmachines. 160 is pricey, but could be well justified in a list with, say, 30 Ironsworn, 6 Bulls and a Mortar.

Hmmm - well I feel like the Legion has a pretty easy time re-rolling rolls of 1 to hit, wound and save as it is with BSB, Castellan, Blackshard Armour and Blackshard Warhost.

Roark Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Geez, good point. We're fairly covered eh. Although, I don't think I'll personally ever take the Host for what it costs now, and how it restricts movement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, I can still see a place for the sorc lord. Blackshard Warhost is expensive and like @Roark said it restricts movement. It also doesn't help out a unit like Bull Centaurs. Blackshard Armor doesn't help in melee, and the Chaos Sorc Lord can give two different units reroll 1 to saves. The BSB is fantastic, but I think it'll be awkward to use in practice because the units need to be ENTIRELY within 18". That's going to be tricky if you are trying to do board denial with large units of Ironsworn or take a massive regiment of BCR like @Ben suggested. And in the cases when everything is fitting inside the BSB bubble you can always just cast mystic shield or arcane bolt... I'd guess that for MSU the Sorc Lord isn't a great choice but if you are going for big blocks he can be really helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fued Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 best use of 80pts spare now? khorgath and hellflayer are the best 2 choices i could find for a unit, but not sure how to justify it into chaos dwarf theme/lore herowise masque of slaneesh of skaar were the best 2 i could think of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have an "easy" time rerolling 1 to hit, especially with how expensive the battalions are, and their pre-reqs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you don't have Artillery, you're REALLY relying on those pyrelock shots (boosted by Castellan, of course). So it'd look like: Ironsworn x 30 Ironsworn x 10 Fireglaives x 30 Fireglaives x 20 50 shots, rerolling 1's to hit, wounding on 3's, rerolling 1's to wound... 2 damage on 5s and 6s with -1 rend?

Pheww... I thought about the double banner in case I needed to go for two different flanks. What artillery would you suggest? With this being a brand new army, I'd love a solid game plan before making the obviously expensive purchase.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In big games, I like the double Deathshrieker, double Magma Cannons. Ignoring LOS, D3 dmg shots are great for wizard/priest sniping, and Magmas for big units of battleline or things with a high save. I haven't tried Dreadquake Mortar yet, but I'll be running a Chaos Sorcerer with it for rerolls of 1s. The 2d6 damage can really do some work, it looks like.

Yeah I mean really excited for trying it against armies built with the new massive unit size rules. Hopefully we will see a lot more 10+ unit models to obliterate with the dreadquake lol.

Roark Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I think my fave new little combo is an Iron Daemon towing a magma cannon around. No longer is it necessary to babysit with a Daemonsmith. Effective range for the cannon is now 28" in turn 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just bummed I can't tow two magma cannons with a single iron daemon anymore, especially since the models for the mortar and the other artillery are made to have train three cars. I do understand how it could have gotten out of hand though. It is still going to be a combo I include in almost every list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
