TheWilddog Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Also what do you guys think about the points bump to the Deadwatch battalion? I have run it before to some good results. However, I thought it was a little pricey at 160. With the new cost at what 210, I am not sure it is a go. Maybe I am just struggling to view all the battalion hikes in perspective but this one seems like it hurts a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knocking it out of the park with those conversions. 3 minutes ago, choocheelo said: Yeah.. they are awsome :3 Thanks guys! Yeah, the ghouls are by far the most time-consuming conversions, hence my desire to build an army around Crypt Horrors! I've heard good things about Crypt Horrors, but whether an army that uses them to replace ghouls as its core troops will work well on the battlefield I don't know.

Elmir Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 The flying circus can still be played... Just the battalion that goes up by 50 and a GKoZD goes up by 40. I don't think it's that earth shattering to have a +90p nerf to something that was pretty good before. It'll also depend on how good the FEC's artifacts are I guess.

TheWilddog Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Flesh-Eater Courts look to have a turn 1 charge with the Ghoul Patrol now. The Patrol's 9' inch away deployment plus the new item that grants a one time plus 3' to charge to all units within 6' of the hero its on (Ghast Courtier in this case) seems to get 90 or 120 ghouls in your face on turn one. You can even push the odds up more with the reroll 1 on charge rolls derangement. Not sure if this is great but it has me pretty excited. Will see how it plays.

And not only it, if combined woth the summoning trait can be really interesting. And it's quite useful for Alpha strikes quite crazy (es GkoTG\DZ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move in Ghoul Patrol, summon in two units of Crypt Horrors. Proceed to smash. Fun times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And ypu have to consider the space from the border that you can use: using 40 ghouls units limits quite a lot the options you have, they are too big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mainly thinking units of 40 ghouls to get the discount but 30 might be better given the space limitations. Will be fun to test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
