Play 5 games of the better part of valour without any battleline in your army and then tell me how sweet those vegetables are.

Any issues with the app, uninstall it and end your subscription. I would direct newer and older players to warscroll builder, it’s easier to use, updated with the new points and the army list format is much better.
-
I can understand your thoughts pre GHB2020, but now they have specifically placed emphasis on battleline for scoring in the scenarios.

Gotcha tactics is one of the more shameful behaviours you can see in this game and should be discouraged at all levels. I feel with the rise of alpha strike style armies in AoS the gotcha mechanic is definitely more prevalent, I usually warn newer players of this so they are less likely to get caught out by other players just looking to earn a scalp. Its common courtesy in the UK to have a quick run down of units and abilities in the deployment phase, if you win a game due to your opponents lack of knowledge on X or Y, it’s not a win.

I think the living city rules have a lot of legs in competitive play, I’m trying to hone down my choices so far in practice games I’ve been taking: nomad prince, sorceress, drakesworn Templar 2 scourgerunner, shadow warriors, greatswords, irondrakes, aetherwings, ballista, 2x10 wild riders, sis of the thorn, Flame Phoenix Swords, geminids, extra CP The drakesworn is a great pick for the living city, tough made tougher by healing, decent combat, rain of stars for reach, bow to take advantage of the CA and I usually give it the spear, so much utility in one model I think the prime is a good piece as an ally but would need to rebuild the whole list and I’m tempted to squeeze in a gyro or two to deal with hordes swifter.

Chatting with some friends who are involved with GW business, they said it might be forge worlds succession plan to HH. In which case they might follow the same format, campaign style books focussing on a few factions at a time with minis to support. (Maybe a ravening hordes book as a get-you-by). People wondering why GW has made this move, the most popular thread on this AoS forum is about the old world. KoW and T9A forums aren’t talking about the latest AoS news.

Everyone getting so heated about what kind of basing has obviously forgotten ”bases don’t matter”
-
GW has lost some market share due to KoW and T9A, they’re now seeking to claw it back with an existing IP. Im just wondering if it will have points or will they just let it flounder for the first 12 months? Someone call mo ashraf!

Living city is quite good at mitigating the books main weaknesses (no CP, not easy to get first turn) Attached is the list I’m thinking of, it’s essentially a change host -with elves (Tree Host?) Emphasis on mobility and threat range. Everything that can move fast or shoot long range would start on, while the archers and drycha would ambush. Mounted sisters will really help with endless spells getting exactly where I want, magic loads and then shoot loads more to wipe off units. Tried to have as many multiwound to benefit from regrow.

I’m playing in a 1000pt doubles event in October with secondary and tertiary objectives. 3 games with staggered points for major win - major loss secondary objectives are 5 points each, chosen once per game tertiary objectives are 1 point each but can be done every game for generic things (killing general) Ive thought about a couple ways to go with khorne, either loads of units for maximum tithe, or power units. In the end I’ve gone for the latter: WoKBT general BTUF priest 3x5 dogs The thing I’m not sure on is whether to take the priest or star blood wrath, priest is all round better piece but one of the secondary objectives can be easily scored by skarr and his summon ability (need hero in opponents territory)

I’m building 6 crushers and I chose the axes, I don’t think -1 rend is worth only hitting on 4s. For heavy shock cavalry they are pretty meh and lost the shield ability in this new book. I will probably field them (if ever) as grinders/sponges, 18 attacks 3s 3s and a 3+ armour save is good to grind.
-
@NorthernNurgling looks really nice 👍 One suggestion, do the skin tone a lot lighter, i also did black armour and grey skin and it makes the models really dark and hides the detail from afar.
-
Ah forgot about the abdomen, can’t remember how it goes together is it part of the basic legs or skarbrand has his own on his own legs?
-
Actually looking closer at the sprue I think you can :) skarbrand comes with his own legs/arms/wings, so if you made him with no wings (can’t fly) you could build a whole bloodthirster providing you had the torso pieces (front/back/neck).
