misthv Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Not that it matters but Skullcrushers are not battleline unless LOKJ is general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcavuk Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 Azyr has put them straight into battleline for blades of Khorne now along with the Khorne hounds regardless of general. I'm assuming it's a formatting error but I copied the list across Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jharen Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Without the inclusion of a Bloodsecrator or totem of any kind really I feel like the Bloodreavers are just a point unit here. Sure they have a footprint and can cap objectives, but it seems a waste of their specific warscroll. Skullcrushers are solid and fairly tanky, but again in this force I'm not entirely sure what their purpose would be? You're looking at 6 drops with this list too, which is a tad high imo for a khorne army where we still have plenty of viable battalions for minimizing drops and controlling the first turn. Murderhost is just screaming to be added to this list in order to seal the deal on the daemons and give you rapid movement at the start of the game, whipped to fury, and running and charging and have only two drops if needed. This all depends what you're going for of course - theme, flavor, creativity, how competitive you're aiming to be etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizianolol Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I appreciate it! I consodered that in a list posted in this forum ! Why 2 insensate rage? Anyway i think 2x10 bloodwarriors can hold points better then 20 reavers or 30 letters! But I like that I think play style is similar to mine:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcavuk Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 The reavers are potentially being split into two smaller units to deliver small threats and if destroyed rack up blood tithe points, the skull crushers provide some speed and mobility and fill a void between monster and infantry in terms of resilience and pace to stop the force getting too strung out, additionally at their new points cost provide more than their Daemon equivalents in role. The Secrator as general allows me to keep the crushers immune to battle shock with inspiration whilst using the blood thristers combined abilities and his whip to launch a bloodthrister up the field into combat turn one. Whilst 6 drops this isn't a tournament list and aside from the flavour of council of blood I find the new battalion costs far too prohibitive to take them (murder host would cost me 20 reavers for example). I'm quite attached to the main part of the list and tried to free up points for the secrator but found if wasn't possible without losing the mortal components that actually wanted the secrator.

Tizianolol Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Ah ok! Anyway the battalion is good imo.. It's cheap and uslefull maybe we'll see many bloodthirsters in this meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcavuk Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 At 260 the two cheaper blood thirsters seem like a steal now. for this list I had considered changing the Stoker and 20 reavers for a Secrator and 10 Reavers but that drops my body count significantly and diminishes the mortal part of the force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melcavuk Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 The mix of all three thirsters does give you the best variety and I do like the warscroll on the Khorgoraths but just can't get behind the model for it (let alone duplicates of if). I get why you like the blood warriors in terms of a nice resilient battleline but the low body count is always a concern for me (having been playing Stormcast for so long) One thing I haven't seen too often but am quite fond of is the Marauder Horsemen, they are a cheap harassment unit with some shooting which Khorne sorely lacks but I don't see them feature in many lists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizianolol Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 My idea is command ability on letters ( run and charge and pile 6) + stoker and secrator buff on them.. Warriors for hold points . 3 big hero got mobility for grab points with letters.. About horseman i havnt test them.. They can be nice idea add shooting. My doubt was about korgo or dp! But 2 of 1 khorgo maybe Is better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcavuk Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 I agree the Khorgoraths are a solid choice as a midrange monster that's suitably tanky. I've scoured various models to see what I could use to convert counts as Khorgoraths since hating the model but have come up with nothing. Otherwise I'd likely tweak my list to fit a couple of units of them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jharen Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I like the inclusion of the Slaughterbrute, simply because you don't see enough of those on the table. The concern would be keeping enough Bloodwarriors on the table to capture objectives, though you do have Bloodletters to spare for that purpose as needed.

Melcavuk Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 Thanks, the slaughterbrute would be keyed to the blood Secrator to gain his to hit boosts but I am concerned as to how massive a target that then makes the secrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
