ReAnimate Studios Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 49 minutes ago, XReN said: It really depends on what set up you have, but generally good battalions give you your battlelines, so Ghoul Patrol is universaly the most point efficient, for my personal preference King's Ghouls is second best because I love me some unbreackable ghoul brick. Deadwatch is good when you rock Infernal General or Blisterskin, any Horror battalions are good in Hollowmourne and with Haunter General, Menagerie is good in Gristlegore, Royal Mordants have one of the best abilities, but the least point efficient. And Royal Family is just meh, I feel it's more for 2500 points games where you have more points for courtiers and doesn't allow you to reduce your drops as much as other battalions. Thanks going to reevaluate my lists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finklelord Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 With the recent discussion's I want to try something different. A battalion I haven't used and a GKoZD using Blisterskin. I'll more than likely be play testing this verse the new Sylvaneth book (if he has it), Beastmen, or Gloomgitz. Spoiler Blisterskin Leaders Abhorrant Archregent - General - Hellish Orator - The Dermal Robe - Deranged Transformation Abhorrant Ghoul King on Royal Zombie Dragon -Miasmal Shroud - Razor-clawed -Eye of Hysh Crypt Ghast Courtier 6x Flayers 20x Ghouls 20x Ghouls 6x Horrors King's Ghouls Challice of Ushoran Extra Command Points: 2 Summons: More than likely going to summon two Varghulfs. One to support the Flayers and the other to Support the Horrors and Ghouls. Strategy: With the speed I would like to get the knights in the bubble of the GKoZD and go to town with "fearless" ghouls taking objectives as needed. I'm not really building my list against the people I am facing specifically, but hoping for more of a TAC list. I'll be the first to admit I am not the greatest at making lists and tend to go and do my own thing but hopes are I won't get crushed to bad. Thoughts? PS This community is great and I am always grateful for the help! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honk Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 4 hours ago, Finklelord said: Thoughts? I like the diversity approach. Double varghulf summon should stabilize your troops and give you some needed heroes for scenarios. i‘m not sure if the 120 for Kings ghouls is really worth it, but drop reduction, CP and artifact ... maybe 30/10 ghouls could be an idea, to have one aggressive unit, while one does boring stuff. With blisterskin + Transformation you should be pretty fast in changing the pressure on the board... best of luck and FOR THE LADY!!!

Gristlegore artefact - the one that you can attack first - just work when you charge. Besides this, GKoTG ramped up a bit in points! It's still strong, but not as it used to be!

It's kinda funny story, I bring Burning Head for Rerolls, so if my opponent hits me with it I pretty much don't care because I want it close to me, if he doesn't - he haven't dealt damage.

I wish there were more battalions that used Flayers, but I understand why. 14 hours ago, Honk said: maybe 30/10 ghouls could be an idea That seems like a better idea. The times I played with 10 Ghouls they normally get ignored since I typically sit them near the throne/objective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blisterfeet Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 So 3 games today at 1500 versus new Sylvaneth book. Game 1 was cut short while still close but Game 2 and 3 went to the gnarlroot list. Minor Victory and Major Victory. While the Major Victory was littered with mistakes from both parties. Game 3 was a tie and went down to kill points and I had been tabled in the last turn. Have to say I struggled with low drops, having the larger drop Sylvaneth counter deploy against my Terrorghiest/ZD. I tried to go hard against the double threat his army had, but the shooting from Dyrca and Hunters and counterpunch with reroll 1s on shooting and fighting were too much. I did whiff a little in Game 3 (failed charge with reroll on TG) have to say the new tree book was quite impressive. If you have any games against them please share any tips. I tried to deny forest space etc but seemed I just got whittled away at and the teleporting is so much more consistent now objective sitting seemed to never quite be enough if I didn't alpha and do something Lists we ran Spoiler Allegiance: Flesh Eater Courts- Grand Court: Court of Delusion - The Feast DayMortal Realm: UlguLeadersAbhorrant Ghoul King on Royal Zombie Dragon (440)- General- Trait: Magestic Horror - Artefact: Doppelganger Cloak - Lore of Madness: Blood Feast- Mount Trait: Razor-clawedCrypt Ghast Courtier (60)Abhorrant Archregent (240)- Artefact: The Dermal Robe - Lore of Madness: Spectral HostBattleline20 x Crypt Ghouls (200)10 x Crypt Ghouls (100)10 x Crypt Ghouls (100)BattalionsGhoul Patrol (180)Endless Spells / TerrainChalice of Ushoran (50)Corpsemare Stampede (70)Total: 1440 / 1500Extra Command Points: 1Allies: 0 / 200Wounds: 65 Throne and summons of 3 flayers and 1 infernal 2 games as this then subbed for 3rd game Terrorghiest with Ethereal Amulet Versus Spoiler Allegiance: Sylvaneth- Glade: GnarlrootLeadersDrycha Hamadreth (320)- General- Deepwood Spell: Verdurous Harmony- Companions: Colony of FlitterfuriesSpirit of Durthu (340)Branchwraith (80)- Artefact: Chalice of Nectar - Deepwood Spell: RegrowthBranchwych (80)- Deepwood Spell: TreesongBattleline10 x Dryads (100)10 x Dryads (100)Units3 x Kurnoth Hunters (200)- Greatbows3 x Prosecutors with Celestial Hammers (90)- AlliesWar MachinesCelestar Ballista (110)- AlliesEndless Spells / TerrainGladewyrm (30)Total: 1500 / 1500Extra Command Points: 1Allies: 200 / 200Wounds: 80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been wary of Gristlegore and running it but now I think it might be time to get the savage striking out. We have a doubles tournament later in the year so he will be on my side then 😂😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAR is still auto-include imo, the summoning and the extra spell is too valuable. to play competitively, too many variables to make a define statement, you’ll have to be into the style and learn how to deal with your local victims 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amysrevenge Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Ghoul patrol still works for me. For the 180 you get one more CP, you can put Gruesome Bite on a second AGKoTG, and you can get a big brick of Ghouls over to the other side of the board (in addition to the smaller summoned units) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XReN Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Alrighty, I took 1st place on local tournament today with 240 points total. I used this list because I only managed to paint Burning Head before the event. Spoiler Allegiance: Flesh Eater Courts- Grand Court: Court of Delusion - The Feast DayLeadersAbhorrant Archregent (240)- General- Trait: Dark Wizardy - Artefact: The Dermal Robe - Lore of Madness: Spectral HostAbhorrant Ghoul King (160)- Lore of Madness: Deranged TransformationBattleline6 x Crypt Flayers (340)10 x Crypt Ghouls (100)10 x Crypt Ghouls (100)Endless Spells / TerrainThe Burning Head (30)Total: 970 / 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 57 In first game we played Duality of Death, after a turn of moving around my sylvaneth opponent got double turn and potatoed with Durthu when attacked my summoned Varghulf and a unit of Flayers, in retaliation my Flayers killed Treelord Ancient, my ghouls killed 5 revenants on the other flank, then my turn, killed Durthu, another 5 revenants and that was pretty much the game with my opponent having only 3 kurnoth hunters with bows that will be destroyed by Flayer deathball Second game was Better Part of Valor against skaven, I gave him first turn, he rolled -1 to hit aura on screaming bell, moved a unit of rat ogors from one of his objectives, moved up with HPA, Bell and 40 giant rats, I summoned 20 ghouls to his empty objective, buffed flayers with +3 ferocious hunger and deranged, almost killed his bell, he had -2 to hit from Look Out and Bell aura, I got left with 2 flayers, then I got double turn, screamed Bell to death with Flayers, dented HPA, burnt his objective for 2. From there he had a bad double turn because 1 Flayer was still alive and he failed charges with HPA and Rat Ogors was forced to leave his objective with rat wolves burning it for 4 points, I burnt all of mine and started full retreat, so even with 1 objective worth of 8 points he won't be able to win agaist my 16 VPs, I also finished HPA and rat wolves Third game I lost, Battle for the Pass against LoG with Necro, 30 Grimaghasts and 40/10 chainrasps, in the process I killed around 90 chainrasps and 60 grimghast, but he was sitting on objectives long enough so I couldn't catch up. I still managed to complete every Hidden Agenda, it was Invasion in the first match, Slay in second and Defender in third. The burning head literally did NOTHING and I would have been better with additional CP. Flayers can really kick ass even at -2 to hit, if well buffed. Varghulf was an MVP of the tournament as he singlehandedly destroyed 30 grimghasts and about 20 chainrasps in 3rd game, I had a double turn and first he got +3 to all attacks and +2 on claws from 10 enemy models within 3", in the next turn I buffed him to +4 on all attacks, what a legend. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
