Praecautus Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Hi chaos devotees. My khorne blood bound are due to take part in a path to glory campaign and I am undecided on my starting line up Mighty Lord of Khorne to provide charge buff and axe o doom Slaughterpriest for MW and other prayer Gorebeast chariot to charge upfield and put pressure/act as threat that can't be ignored but now I struggle Should I add 20 reavers and blood spectator - big scary blob but folds when the spectator dies or 5 blood warriors with blood stoker - less reliant on spectator, stoker buff is nice but low model count and now glaive or 10 blood warriors lose buffs but 10 blood warriors are always a threat Help me TGA, you are my only hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireymonkeyboy Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I assume you mean Bloodsecrator, not Blood Spectator? If so, take him. Always take him. My experience with PtG is that mobility really matters. Reavers are cheap, fast-ish, benefit most from the Bloodsecrator, and give you some bulk to start out. You'll be able to pick up units as you go, so if you want offensive punch, you'll be able to recruit Bloodwarriors within a game or two. I started with a Juggerlord, Slaughterpriest, Bloodsecrator, Skullcrushers, and Bloodreavers, and did well. FMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praecautus Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 Haha yes evil auto correct. Thanks for input was concerned about it folding but the number of models was appealling. Thanks for the input, will try reavers and the blood secrator. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praecautus Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 So I played my first game last night against a Tzeentch warband and it was a blast - axes v magic. Reavers did a great job of being a scary looking force and drawing all the fire and pink horror spam away from my heroes. The reavers didn't even survive turn 1 but everything else was unscathed. Slaughter priest continues to be one of my favourite units, pulling the kairic acolytes out of position and then soloing them and boiling their blood. Bloodsecrator made life uncomfortable for the Lord of change causing a few destiny dice to get wasted and having a pink horror blob on him for the entire game. MLoK is deadly but oh so slow, could not catch the chicken of change who escaped the board. Chariot was ok but started in the wrong place. Lost the plan due to the LoC escaping but it was fun. I have added 10 blood warriors with double axes. I sit at the bottom of our league on 0 points but don't care, it's the fun that counts and I am learning my army.

Fireymonkeyboy Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Tzeentch can be a tough match for us. Faster, MW at range to punch through our armour. Good that you're having fun, though - I really enjoyed our local campaign. FMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praecautus Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 Yes the speed of his LoC was too much and I missed the blood stoker or a second priest to cover the far half of the board. Plus I had some bad positioning at the start. Some of our abilities came as a surprise but I think I am the only khorne player in the area. I plan to use that lack of knowledge to my advantage ? I got off lightly though, some other games had chain summoning pink horrors Hoping to get another game this week, hopefully against a different style of army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got lucky with you opponent then. Good on him and means you at least had fun. What army are you playing next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What army are you playing next? The pink horror spam was good natured between friends, it's quite a nice community at our store ? Next battle is tbc but I am itching to get my new blood warriors into battle. May be brayherd or kharadon overlords. On an aside the store manager has challenged my 2k list to take on his death army, looks like it could be fun. I just need to finish my wrath mongers and skull reapers first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
