Thanatos Ares Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 So after my gaming group went through a lot of emotions reading thru the new ghb. The dust seems to have settled and list writing has begin anew which brings me to my question: Has your list changed? Has it only been tweaked or complete re-write? My list hasn't drastically changed that much and it still looks like it should do! (Stickler for themes an all that [emoji51]) So folks, looking forwards or pining for what once was?

Ademo Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 funnily enough - my mixed death stayed exactly the same, necromancer and massive unit skeleton savings exactly offset the increase to the lehion of death battalion!My moonclan has had a bit of reworking, pricier grots and heroes but the ability to take squig units as battleline means it's quite a nice rounded list now, not relying on msu grots to fill battleline.All in all I've enjoyed having to rethink and am trying to weigh up what army to focus in next!Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lare2 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I'm now eyeing up blocks of 60 zombies again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feuermann Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I am building a force of deathrattle, and I dont know if a "Bretombnia" style army would work. Mounted necromancers, mounted wight kings and tons of calvary ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTurtlesAllowed Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Gained a few extra points into my summoning pool. And the new traits and artifacts should help. Overall, a small upgrade? or maybe just the same. IDK yet. Need to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanafly Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 My list was GK on TG, necro, vargulf, haunter 4x 10 zombies 2x 6 horrors Mourngul 2000 Losing 80 points with the horror increase means I had to drop 10 zombies and downgrade my vargulf to a second haunter :(( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanatos Ares Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 My list was:VLoZD-General, Ruler of the NightVLon Nightmare GKoT-Cloak of Mists and ShadowsGKoZD3x 5 Skeleton Horsemen Terrorgheist But now it is:VLoZD-General-Death Incarnate-Cursed BookGKoZD3x 5 Dire Wolves5 Black Knights2x TerrorgheistsIt took a few write throughs to get there but I'm happy and actually back in zone with list writing again after my initial disappointmentSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageBoss Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 My VCs collection has always been pretty diverse, so I never really had a go to list (never really found anything that worked for me in AoS anyways). The next list I will probably try is: Allegiance: DeathHeroesVampire Lord On Zombie Dragon (440)- General- Deathlance & Shield & Chalice- Trait: Death Incarnate- Artefact: Tomb BladeVampire Lord (140)Necromancer (110)Varghulf Courtier (160)Crypt Ghast Courtier (80)Battleline40 x Crypt Ghouls (360)5 x Dire Wolves (60)5 x Dire Wolves (60) Units5 x Blood Knights (260) 6 x Crypt Flayers (320) Total: 1990/2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizianolol Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 This list is intersting, your good a big unit supported by ghast to hold points and flyers+ knight and vlozd to take points, they are fast and strong.dire wolf are fast too and pretty good in defence! I'm curious to see if it works:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discoking Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Mine was: VLoZD Covern Throne 3x5 Bloodknights 6 Vargiests Isabella Balewind Vortex New list: VLoZD Covern Throne Vampire Lord on Nightmare 3x5 Bloodknights 6 Vargiests 1940pts so should get triumph roll most of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lare2 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Was thinking: Nagash (general) Arkhan Neferata Zombies x40 Zombies x10 Zombies x10 Corpse cart Total: 1960 The app's telling me it's invalid though... Am I missing something? Don't have GHB2 yet so not sure if requirements in this edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goddin Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Old list: VLoZD 3 x 5 blood knights VLoAT Vampire lord on horse Summon the Mourngul. New list: VLoZD 3 x 5 blood knights Arkhan the Black (allied) Summon the Mourngul. I'll also be looking at other options instead of the mourngul now that he has been nerfed. Using Neferata instead of Arkhan seems very appropriate, summoning morghasts and including a coven throne or vampire lord on horse would still be right in the wheel house. I'm not sure how I'll deal with hordes. It's a real problem. But I still like the elite army, and 2 sources of -2 rend with everything healing each turn is quite strong.

Criti Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Short answer: lots. My main tournament list was anchored by both a Vanguard Wing and a Hammerstrike Force and was running very tight on points to begin with. With the increase to batallions, I'm back to the drawing board entirely, as the list' s support elements were very finely tuned and I can't see the overall effectiveness working if I removed any of those pieces.

Wraith01 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I'm dropping a battalion for Khorne or dropping a unit to keep it, won't know for sure until I play at least one game each, that's it really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaaras Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Irritatingly yes, although perhaps its for the best. Previous list was mixed Destruction, with all the Orruk factions represented and some Fimir warriors for fun. It looked like: Orruk Warboss on Wyvern 20 arrer boys (not savage) Orruk chariot 10 Boar Boys 2 x 10 Savage Orruks Savage Warboss Wardokk Brutal Rukk Ironfist with one of each Warchanter 3 x Fimir Warriors Think that was all. Now: Ironjawz main Maw Krusha Iron fist with 2 x Ard Boys, 1 x Brutes (might swap these over) and 1 Pigs Warchanter x 2 probably Weirdnob Greenskinz Allies: 20 arrer boyz (I spent some time converting these, not giving up) 10 Boar Boyz. Or Savage allies 20 x Savage Orruks Wurggog Prophet or Boar boyz So yeah a bit of a change I guess. On the Chaos side of the house though, my Slaves to Darkness will be getting some daemonic aid, which should be fun, although I am a little annoyed that Thunderscorn don't ally with Slaves any more, well not as one of the named allies. Slaves to Darkness: Godsworn Champions of Ruin Sorc Lord on Manticore Lord on Daemonic Mount Sorc Lord on foot (more magic...) 2 x Chariots 10 Knights 30 warriors Host of Slaanesh Keeper of Secrets 10 x Daemonettes. No idea how this will go. Do feel mixed Destruction got hit pretty hard on the generic allegiance ability now only on a 6 when within 6" of a hero. That isn't going to happen very often and will (potentially) lead to units being isolated and easy pickings. Oh well, see how it all goes. Its only day 3 after all. Any thoughts or suggestions for improvements in synergies are more than welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
