Lucky Snake Eyes Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Hey fellow legionaries of totally not tomb kings! I recently took our favourite tongueless bootlicker to a local tournament and ran away with 2nd place! (ended up with a by in the first round due too uneven numbers) All battles where in chamon. Here's the list I brought: Lords of sacrament battalion: Arkhan (general, soul harvest) necro (black gold bracers, decrepify) necro (spectral grasp) mortis engine VLoZD (Vile transference, shroud of darkness, lance) dire wolves X5 dire wolves X5 skeletons X30 (swords) grave guard X10 (greatblades) corpse cart (goad, lodestone) Glaivewraith stalkers X4 (drummer) Purchased command points X1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Been out of the Death game for a while. What Nighthaunt units are usable and actually useful for LoS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I‘ve heard the powergamers take chainrasps horde or grimghast reapers... faster and more durable. the full list is in the faq and the wizzards don‘t get access to lore of death spells.

Good to know. Nighthaunt heroes would need to be 'allied' in then? Maybe a wizard for the Nighthaunt endless spells if they are any good that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The „not-in-the-list heroes“ like Lady O, briarqueen or ?Kudross? need to be allied in, with all detrimental effects (deathless etc.). not sure about the endless spells... the summoning rules of the hourglass, reaper and vault state: summon by Nagash or nighthaunt wizzards. So your guardian of souls, who only gained extra legion keyword and didn’t lose the nighthaunt keyword, he is totally fine to summon them. They should count into the allied points though...

Don’t play bedsheets, don’t know... they all deal mortal wounds, the scythe and the hourglass seem too tricky to pull off without shooting in your own food. if your fielding arkhan with his +6 range command, the vault could be a nice horde killer (all models within 6“, MWs on 6) and explosion after 20mw within 6“ for d6mw. But as a predatory spell it moves 8“, for whoever goes second that round. For 40 points it could be useful to mess up some big blobs. You could ally in a nighthaunt battalion, if your game is big enough, max. 20%, models+battalion points. You also have to ally in nighthaunt models that could be taken in LoN... so tricky to stay <400 Edited January 25, 2019 by Honk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRoff Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Hi again! Noobquestion again sorry: Got in an heated argument last game when i used Arkhans spell "Curse of the years" and manage to ge the roll all the way down to 1's, and to my knowledge the unit is insta slain since you do mortal wounds on +1 and you can't roll lower than 1 so it just keeps doing mortal wounds untill the unit is slain? Killed my friends unit of 30 orruks with this spell. Am i wrong or? Since rolling a 1 is not always a fail, only hit, wound and save rolls. So this spell should not go under the rules of 1+? And i think i read somewhere a long time ago in FAQ or errata that the unit is slain regardless of wounds or any special abilities it may have or something like that. Is there an FAQ or Errata for this spell i could find to show my friends? Oh, and there was also alot of arguments that Arkhan is way to strong in Legion of sacrament with a +4 to casting withing the range of a mortis engine. What do you think? Thanks!

Mortal wound saves would still apply thou. And yes, Arkhan is way to strong in magic to keep him alive, shoot him down asap, has only 11hp and a 4+, no problem. For 320 points he is really a strong choice... Edited February 2, 2019 by Honk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradifer Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 How's Legion of Sacrament doing these days? There's been a lot of new releases between DOK, Grots, FEC, Skaven... Did we ever reach consensus on the best combination of endless spells and debuffs for our armies? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinions are not used, mostly because it’s vile transference first for big champs (throne or dragon) and the small one is fast enough and in an offensive enough position to get some value out of the orb. I don’t have the ES but I guess the portal could be nice with Nagash/ Arkhan for Hand of dust, curse of years or soul harvest bombs shackles for board control maybe or the vortex for a necromancer working double time, but the costs are kinda not worth it. predatory spells are too swingy except for the pendulum 🙀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Guardian of Souls getting his Specteral Lure spell off on Grimghast Reapers with a 5 is still pretty stylish. Results of the d6 roll not withstanding.

Sorceress Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 one day I intend to try a necromancer with soul harvest, balewind vortex and Arkhans command power to drop d3 mortal wounds on everything in 15 inches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played this before with Soul harvest on Arkhan, double stack his command ability, cast it through spell portal and rolled the natural 9+ for it to go off twice. Big exploding portal up the board is a nice thing to have while people stress about curse of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 1 spell can go through, the wording on Locus of Shyish is you resolve the effects twice, it's still only from the one spell cast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
