drkrash Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I'm not on the StD train yet, so I suggest a unit of Wrathmongers and the Icon for the hell of it. Not sure about general, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamik Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I’m kind of excited to get the Daemon Prince in a list, I feel like he’s been a diet bloodthirster for too long and now he feels like a proper general, with a solid melee profile and a command ability to gum up enemy charges.

Frowny Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I think the halving charges in a giant bubble is sneaky strong. It immediately stops all deepstrike charges, which has some utility. Put him in the middle, pick a flank to fight on, move him 12inches to the other and then keep them from engaging you so you get favorable activations. An 18 in bubble is huge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praecautus Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I love my daemon prince, the old scroll was pretty good but now it’s ace. I’m going to be buying a second and arm it with the sword, gotta love 2MW on a 6. Put an artefact on his talons and both profiles are doing MW, synergises so well with our inherent buffs and abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relic456 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hey folks, I asked this over in the Rules forum but didn't get a response so thought I'd throw it in here as well. Does Korghos Khul/Mighty Lord of Khorne's Reality-Splitting Axe ability still trigger at the end of the phase if KK/MLoK are slain before the end of the phase? I can see arguments for both yes and no and would be interested in your thoughts or rules support. On the one hand, the ability states that as long as any wounds are inflicted, the ability triggers. On the other hand, do model's abilities still activate if they aren't on the battlefield? Any insight is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itgnightraven Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 is the sword better than the axe on the khorne daemon prince? and is it an autopick with killing frenzy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new scroll i would say the sword due to the extra attack, reach and ability to do MW on a 6. You can always put another MW causing artefact on his talons to op his MW output further as both profiles will be buffed by blood secrator and he will pile in twice with reapers.

Axe for me. Don't like the d3 damage and 4+ to hit. Range 2" can be an argument, but he's fast enough to jump over screens I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the case for me as i am always playing a priest with killing frenzy in my lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll.exe Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 -sorry Khorne- Is anyone else looking at the Chaos sorcerer lord combo with wrathmongers and Archaon or Marauders? Rerolling everything with one hero is pretty ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the case for me as i am always playing a priest with killing frenzy in my lists. It would be very marginally better. Also d3 damage still sucks. Also you should have better things to use killing frenzy on than 1 model with 7 attacks (of which only 4 benefit from the frenzy). 1 hour ago, Troll.exe said: -sorry Khorne- Is anyone else looking at the Chaos sorcerer lord combo with wrathmongers and Archaon or Marauders? Rerolling everything with one hero is pretty ridiculous. I'm liking the idea of using shrines instead of priests because they hand out rerolls and 3+ prayer with reroll from altar will almost always go off. Sorc doesn't seem good because altar and bloodsecrator will interfere with him casting the reroll spell.

Agent of Chaos Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Ran the Daemon Prince as my General in Goretide yesterday. That command ability is boss! Your opponent has to roll at least 6 to make a 3" charge. Its so crippling and allows us to play an even more effective defensive game. After my opponent failed a few key charges I just consolidated on the objectives, buffed up and collected VP for another turn, then dared him to attempt to charge me again. He still ended up dieing in melee due to my inability to roll 3+ saves but still very happy with that performance and highly recommend. In a game about movement that ability is just devastating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charleston Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Yeah, while within the StD book itself Khorne seems a bit weak compared to Nurgle marks, DP´s and some other units do look fabolous in a Blades army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeSwordfish Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Sounds like the Daemon Prince is the best bet for my army then, though I'll need to drop something to take him. Is there any particularly fantastic artefact for him? Can't go wrong with the Thronebreakers Torc, which also leaves my Bloodsecrator free to take the Thermalrider's cloak - but the Torc goes perfectly well on the Bloodsecrator too, so the prince could have some other thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll be using the Torc almost exclusively on the Damon Prince. My Secrator barely gets picked on anymore. People absolutely loathe Priests, Skullreapers and Bloodthirsters in my experience, and I suspect the Prince will have a massive target over his head once the full import of his command becomes known haha.

Blade of judgement still very good on him. Torc would give him the best protection against shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartazjb0y Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Points changes I pulled from the app (didn't check Batallions/Judgements) Skull Cannons: 140 -> 130 Bloodsecrator: 140 -> 120 Skarr: 120 -> 100 Valkia: 120 -> 140 Insensate Rage: 280 -> 270 Unfettered Fury: 300 -> 270 Skarbrand: 400 -> 380 Wrath of Khorne: 320 -> 300 Bloodcrushers: 140 -> 120 Mighty Skullcrushers: 180 -> 160 EDIT: I compared to my copy of the GHB, missed that some of these changes had already happened Edited December 16, 2019 by smartazjb0y 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AresX8 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 @smartazjb0y The only real changes are that our cavalry units dropped 20 points per 3 models. That's a big deal, and Bloodcrushers being only 10 points more than Bloodletters makes them far more appealing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeSwordfish Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I like that cut a lot - means i can take both the bloodstoker and either hexgorger skulls or a command point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll.exe Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 So I’m looking at the Choas Chosen with a bloodsecrator and warshrine in support. Take killing frenzy on the shrine and using Favour of Chaos. With that base size I’m guessing you’d probably take a couple of units of 10 and be able to run the first rank 6-7 wide and still get the last 3-4 into combat in the second rank. Hitting on a 2, rolling for 6s twice then wounding on a 3 with rerolls. Basically the same as Skullreapers except you don’t need 5+ models for the reroll, -1 rend and 40 less points. Has anyone else been looking into this option? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AresX8 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Skullcrusher and Bloodcrusher point drops are legit! Azyr update finally pushed out for me and I've laid eyes on the new points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth criminal Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 And here I was painting the chaos knights. I expect dog spam to be replaced with bloodcrusher spam as the filler of choice. 2 hours ago, Troll.exe said: So I’m looking at the Choas Chosen with a bloodsecrator and warshrine in support.

Eventually I arrived to conclusion that the mongers already do the thing chosens want to do and the third best units after marauders and knights are the warriors because Khorne normally doesn't get to do what warriors do (tanky bricks that can reasonably hit back). Although now skullcrushers are probably better than warriors in this role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos lord they get double activation. Warshrine gives 6+ after save. And prayer buffs. Then of course the khorne buffs that work on them. They can get pretty nasty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
