It’s what I got. I was doing pretty well when it comes to magic. Granted it was 600 points againt no magic and some magic, so that doesn’t really count too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But below 1k or not, I did pretty well with a limited roster. It makes me excited for 2k, and by a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KibaWildFang Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 So Battlescribe updated to AoS 3. While I am aware that it favors 40k, I feel that it still got something wrong, unless they changed how our faction works. It is saying I can only put one mount trait on my list with 2 mounted kings. Thats a pretty hefty change that I was not aware of before. However, BS also doesn’t count the GW FAQ for Seraphon, that allows the Thunder Lizard subfaction to take more than 4 behemoths, because they become battleline for TL and thar supercedes Behemoths. That’s gotta be an oversight on BS’s part, because one of our strengths is being able to take multiple mount traits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was always the case, you gained additional mount traits for each Warscroll Battalion, which no longer exist. If you want a second Mount Trait, you need to take a Warlord of Command Entourage Battalion and select an additional mount trait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing I’m running one Gheist King, many of the Dragon Mount traits were a bit underwhelming to me anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidsteel Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 If I were to run FEC right now I would still take two GKoRTG. Take Command Entourage and fill it with an AAR plus a Varghulf. Then second GKoRTG goes in a Battle Regiment with your troops. 4 drops and you can still give both the Gruesome Bite trait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s really solid, actually. However, I’m mixing it up mainly because the gheist is pretty daunting for me to paint atm. I also really want to summon in a 2nd Varghulf because I really like how they perform on the table. I’m using my extra enhancement on the 5+ ward amulet for the Gheist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honk Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Next week, I‘ll take my court out for a little hunt… 🥳 Not sure about what court exactly, but probably a feast day: since summoning is at the end of movement, as is the deep strike of the GkoZd, I‘m thinking of outflanking the dragon, with 3 horrors (from GkoTg) and a varghulf (GkoZd) 🤔 if the enemy is very cowardly I might use flayers, but otherwise… regent will either summon another varghulf for the 6 flayertorpedo or 20 ghouls for more bodies 👻 thought about going blisterskin, but I love the discount mage infernal too much anybody with insights on FEC 3.0?! And the ghast is in the hunters btl.🤪 Edited August 9, 2021 by Honk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidsteel Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 @Honk Only Troops can go in to Hunters of of the Heartlands. It's also 2 min and 3 max so can't do 4 units anyway. So the Crypt Ghast Courtier and Ghoul King on Zombie Dragon would need to go in to a different battalion. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuttyknatty Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 You can only take 1 mount trait (unless able to take an extra enhancement)? I’ve missed this! Is this new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, as already mentioned above, you always had 1 mount trait + 1 additional for taking a warscroll battalion. It's essentially the same when taking Warlord/Command Entourage here, except you are limited to one choice from Artefact/Mount Trait etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Abhorrant Emperor is a... Mega-Gargant? Was that just a name he gave it? Also, I guess this proves that Flayers in groups of 3 aren’t that bad after all. Now I’m wondering if my list should break up its 6 man squad into 3s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list is really fast so it can get stuck into gunlines and other lists like tzeentch and shut them down. Final round was against Kaleb Walters hosts duplicitous and the game really came down to it. As a tzeentch player myself, the flayers are a problem because of the mortal wound output. Of course the three man units are more efficient because of the coherency rules. You're getting every attack you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think this disproves the worry that MSU flayers aren’t gonna be good that I heard floating around before the new edition. As funny as 6 screams is, with the base size I’m feeling its best if I do 2 squads of 3 to cover more ground. By the way do you have pics of the converted gargant?

broverpowerd Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I was there also, and play Bill locally (on occasion, the games do not last long). 1) Yes, it was a named giant. 2) Bill makes no mistakes whatsoever. 3) He know your army too, so he knows your mistakes as soon as you make them. Just want to put it into perspective that we probably could have won the tournament with a list from any army, as he is that good. Most of his opponents conceded within 45 minutes because they were almost tabled by the top/bottom of round 2. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I’m nowhere near Bill’s skill level, so he can probably get more use out of MSU flayers than I can. Should I stick to my 6-man unit, then? Guess I really gotta test around.

Bill really knows basically everything you're going to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
