Every other "Pheonix King" cheated. They used spells to fake their legitimacy. They screwed him royally (pardon the pun), and then lied to their own people. And then there was Tyrion's rejection of him after he passed the test the second time. Seriously in the HE propaganda he was bad for failing the test of the flames and then bad for passing.

Black_Fortress_Immortal Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 What would you think of a mixed DoK army with Darkling Covens allies for Sorceress + Darkshards? Allegiance: OrderCauldron Of Blood (200)- General- Witch Brew- Trait: Master of Defense- Artefact: Phoenix StoneDeath Hag (60)- DeathswordCauldron Of Blood (200)- Witch Brew- Artefact: Talisman of Blinding LightSorceress (80)- Allies30 x Witch Aelves (270)30 x Witch Aelves (270)10 x Witch Aelves (100)5 x Doomfire Warlocks (160)1 x Bloodwrack Medusae (120)30 x Darkshards (300)- AlliesBloodwrack Sisterhood (140)Balewind Vortex (100)Total: 2000 / 2000Allies: 380 / 400Wounds: 151 This would give 30 Darkshards for their strong non-rend shooting power (haha) and be able to fuel a sacrifice for the Sorceress to get on her Balewind and debuff the enemy with Word of Pain. The Doomfire Warlocks are optional, but I think having another Wizard option to pop Mystic Shield/Bolt and grab objectives would be great. If the Sorceress on Balewind needs to arcane bolt something, the warlocks can followup with their doombolt for 2d3 mortal wounds. 2 Cauldrons with the Aelves is self-explanatory for granting Witchbrew to each unit of Aelves.

Edgecoc Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I was think of using my old Darkshards for my new DoK army as well. Hopefully those gorgon archers are better though. Can’t wait for all that new stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DantePQ Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I thing it's best to wait few weeks and find out how DoK work, maybe their playstyle won't work with Darkling Covens at all. Maybe DoK could use Sorceress maybe not (becasue they will have spellcasters with unique magic lore). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucentia Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Digging the cover art too, and we get some DoK dice, which marks the first time any of my armies have been deemed worthy of custom dice. Some interesting tidbits in the community post too, seems to me like the faction is getting a pretty heavy mechanical re-working, with mentions of changes to witch aelves and cauldrons, and a spell lore but nothing on prayers. Looks like a multi-week release, with Morathi and the battletome proper up first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucentia Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Hah, I just chopped up my last Khaine statue to try and convert it into a Celestant Prime, but put that project on hold when news of the book came out, now I guess I have a pretty good reason to finish it.

Ekrund Oath Splitters Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Looks like each one offers a reroll of one of some sort. 1 and 2 I can't make out... 3 is hard to make out, reroll some roll of a 1, if it involves the avatar of khaine reroll all... maybe hits? 4 is reroll 1's to wound, 5+ is reroll all X saving throws and immune to battleshock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yokai Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Shapeshifting mechanic finally confirmed officially, no more speculation (which is a relief). Still not entirely sold on the idea, it will be interesting to read the previews next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleun Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 looks like a mechanic with stacking points while getting better and better bonusses. Could be a turn based system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the shapeshifting mechanic forces both players to make decisions (if it works like I think it will). The Daughters of Khaine player has to decide when to drop command abilities and lose a strong caster in exchange for a strong flying monster, while the opponent has the option to force this transformation trough damaging Morathi. Im not even sure If I want to start a Daughters of Khaine army right now but im very excited about this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch of Izalith Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 @Kaleun I don't think I have ever spent so much money on GW stuff as I have in the last 12 months! There's no way I'm not ordering Morathi right away though. I'm off work the week after so I get a chance to clear all the half finished stuff off my paint desk ready for the Queen's arrival. I like the hints at the change mechanic. sounds like it will keep everyone happy (narrative players who wanted it damage/random activated and competitive players who wanted control) The avatar of khaine statue getting rules is a bit lame!! Particularly when there's that nice Forgeword avatar that we could use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DantePQ Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I will use that FW Avatar as statue for sure getting it painted as we speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleun Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 why do you think the Statue of Khaine gets separate rules?? Just because it is on the Cover of the battletome? @Twitch of Izalith All hail to the Queen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenshin620 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Speaking of Khaine it amazes me that despite being a unit in 40k for decades, other than the huge FW model, there hasn't been any new Avatar models in forever. And given how the 8th edition eldar codex came and went, looks like it'll stay that way despite many other factions getting big character models like nurgle.

Could also be the plain white background compared to the more dramatic dark. The white tends to bring out the studio paintjob in a sterile look. IIRC many people didn't like other studio painted models like the Glottkin for looking too toy/action figure like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
