To me this seems fair since shooty Stormcasts and Seraphon are the most smelly cheese. Fighting cheese with cheese seems legit 🤣

   I started collecting Khorne about a year ago, but due to personal reasons I had to stop. Now I've come back and everything has completely changed. 

I currently own the following:

1 slaughterpriest

1 bloodstoker

2 bloodsecrator

1 exalted deathbringer with impaling spear

1 khorgorath

5 bloodwarriors

20 bloodreavers

5 skullreapers/wrathmongers (magnetized)

I'm looking to make a 1,000 point list to play with some friends, any tips are appreciated. Thanks!

I think u can just go with everything u own except 1 bloodsecrator. It comes up to 920 points but you start with 1 extra command point.

Slaughterhost - Goretide

1 bloodsecrator - General  (Hew the foe) (Thronebreaker's Torc)

1 exalted deathbringer with impaling spear

1 slaughterpriest - Killing Frenzy

1 bloodstoker

Battleline

5 bloodwarriors

20 bloodreavers - Meatripper Axes

Others

1 khorgorath

5 skullreapers

1 Extra Command Point

Makes sense. In my lists I get two items. One is the +1A sword for my Insensate general, and the other is the banner of Wrath for the Bloodsecrator. That's been leaving him really vulnerable to shooting.

You could also give him an artefact, but therefore you should use a battalion toa ctually have 2. Given him the Doppelgänger cloak, and you should be ready to go.

Finally finishing up my skullreaper conversions. Utilizing leftovers from the wrathmonger/skullreaper set. Legs and bits from bloodwarriors and some bloodreaver parts. I took some build process pics aswell. Still need to finish some gap filling and sculpting. But here is where they’re at. I sourced cheap parts locally on trades and such. But you can find the odd eBay lot with the bits you need aswell if shipping is worth it.

Nice!!! I got 3 boxes to build from, I intend to build 20 reapers and 10 mongers.

What did you use for the back armor?

I just picked up the newest Battletome.  Why is the Slaughterbrute of Khorne not in it? It his Khorne in its name! 

Probably have to wait for the Slaves to Darkness to get updated since it is technically more predominantly a Slaves to Darkness unit.

I disagree, I mean there is a specific warscroll for the Slaughterbrute of Khorne.  He's not just marked like other Slaves to Darkness. 

Was hoping to only have one battketome to bring. Oh well

Well you only need it for the warscroll right? Why not use the app? And fair enough if you like having hard copies etc etc but for the sake of 1 warscroll I'm sure it will be fine.

Well the assumption would be they would buff the slaughterbrute in a battletome since it basically has been unchanged since the start of AoS. It suffers quite a bit in the rend department for example.

I used greenstuff and sculpted my own on the first ones I did when I was laying out the models and figuring out how to fit things together. Also grabbed some spares from eBay for 6$ with the torsos included to make things easier. Used bloodreaver heads on this recent set I’ve put together. I also custom made the vicious mutation claw to look different. Using the bone piece I cut from a leftover wrathmonger torso. I really like how these ones look personally. One more to finish off for these 5. Just a new box set essentially with minor alterations.

Sorry if this has been asked before but:

If a Bloodthirster in a Tyrants of Blood battalion has the Halo of Blood, do all the other Bloodthirsters in the battalion get to strike immediately after the Halo of Blood model?  Or does just one of them get to strike immediately after the Halo of Blood model?  

As it's written, I feel like it's the first option, but that does seem super duper powerful; so I thought I'd see what others think.

Had a couple of 1500 games yesterday (preparing a tournament) against a FEC with a deadwatch, 3X6 flayers, regent and 2 courtiers.

I tested two lists

A blood hunt list, WOKBT, Karanak, 3X5 hounds + priest + 3 juggernauts + BTUF.+ axe judgement - Reapers of vengeance.

This one was nice, mobile and the opponent couldnt cast a spell properly. but in the end, all the dammage was dependant on the BT and the command ability.. The +1 to wound heroes was nice. Expetialy with the flail to snipe thoses pesky courtiers. i won.

 

The second list : no bloodhost.

Aspiring DB, Secrator, 2 priests + 3X5 hounds +2X5 Reapers +1X5 wrathmongers + icon and axe+ 3 mighty skullcrushers.

I won this one too but felt much happier this time. More drops = more BT points all the dammages where shared between more units and skullreapers with +3 attacks are amazing. I sent the Skullcrusher in suicide mode with +1 armor and the ennemy took hours to kill them, negating an entire unit.

No bloodhost because there was no ability that i wished in thoses and i put the 5++ command trait on the deathbringer and gave the amazind D3 mortal wound banner on the bloodsecrator. I felt thoos was the right choice.

If the TO isn’t letting you know battle plans ahead of time then I wouldn’t go to a tournament without at least two models that can score in wizard / artifact missions. I find TOs love including those missions. 

If you know the battle plans ahead of time then don’t worry about it. 

For the scoring purpose I actually find the godsworn hunt can be good as get a wizard and a screen unit for 150.

The TO loves to roll a D18 and see what is coming. i take the risk. a bataillon is hard to  get at 1500
