THUNDERFISTS Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 So far it looks like a lot of positive changes. Moving the Bloodsecrator around will feel a lot better, and turning the Wrathmongers from a liability to pure buff machines is very welcome. Excited! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surtur Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 These are, for me, unexpected, quite massive changes to the Warscrolls. I am so curious about the points... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can still deny an enemy spell in their phase, so it's probably still the same? Unless there's a clause we haven't seen for particular uses of the BT chart.

Zamik Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 So I'm wondering about Blood Tithe points now, since it didn't sound like you have to kill things to get them--you just get them based on the turn? Also, very cool about getting a unit of bloodreavers to run and charge. Only thing is to make sure they don't outstrip the bloodsecrator, since his aura's reduced (his points better be too!). I love that blood warriors can reroll wounds around an objective. Can't wait to play Take and Hold now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me the article implies you can use them in the opponents phase. It talks about the blood tithe being a safety net if your opponent gets a double turn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still get Blood Tithe the same way, it was mentioned in the first preview article: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/03/12/mar-12-battletome-preview-blades-of-khorne-big-changesgw-homepage-post-2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, because you can't always count on killing units, especially if you're up against big monsters (or running your own monsters for that matter). The effects he listed as 7 and 8 points are both "once per battle," so maybe we have multiple mechanics to generate blood tithe, but balanced with being unable to use the really powerful effects more than once? I'd like it if there were just a baseline of points that you get per turn, then augmented by your killing/dying prowess. And maybe this quicker accumulation mechanic is how they deal with blood tithe points evaporating when spent? Sorry I'm going full Pepe Silvia on this info!

He also mentions the effects last for the remainder of the battle, so it should be a non issue that you can only use it once per battle.

Bjornas Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) With the Blood tithe table remaining as it is I get the feeling they don't really want Khorne to be a summoning-heavy army but just a few units here and there. And I feel, since we seem to be getting improvements to many units, maybe that will be fine. Edited March 15, 2019 by Bjornas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysonic1 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Khorne summoning has always paled when compared to the other armies, but it was fun to spit out 2-3 units a turn or one giant unit of Bloodletters. I don't see any of these tweaks changing that if that's still what you wanted to do. Although it seems like if you wanted to go heavy on the Blood Tithe the goal should be one or both of the once per battle abilities ASAP before you summon in units to benefit from them. Edit: also I was totally correct about being able to move your Bloodsecrator now. We're getting so spoiled I love it.

It's a shame that they reduced the range of it as well as making it wholly within. 16" is still a decent bubble radius though so with him being mobile it might still be an overall buff. Might be worth going back to having 2 of them in a list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the previews and leaks, I don't think that issue exists anymore. You don't NEED the Bloodsecrator, and it being wholly within encourages you to move him with a smaller entourage, not your entire army. Don't want those costly, killy units to deal with battleshock? Roll them with your Bloodsecrator and a priest. Want to take the battle to the enemy, or rush to a far off objective? Take a hero that can give his leadership to nearby units, or just eat the battleshock, or kill the enemy before they can kill you, or use your smaller units to tie them up while your hero wades through them lopping off heads. Using Goretide, you can make sure your Blood Warriors or Bloodreavers keep up with your Juggerlord, so have them grab onto the enemy while your RAEP-lord does the heavy lifting. Bloodsecrator has been reined in, it cannot be the lynch pin for your ENTIRE army now. Hell, nothing can: not the alter or judgements or other units. The power has been spread out from one giant bubble to multiple small bubbles, and it's up to you to manage those bubbles. Just now, Bululu said: I will answer questions later.

Judgements same only one try per turn and each priest can try one Even more indication that you'll need to spread your army out into multiple forces.
