DynamicCalories Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 As someone who bought some discs to support his BoC, and just bought Aether War, I was hoping the Herald would make discs battleline! Looks like i’m investing in Acolytes or Tzangor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neffelo Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Well, @Sinfullyvannila Turned out I was right on the money about changes to the Tzaangors Eh? I wish I hadn't been, because they got nerfed pretty hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageBoss Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) Now I really need to think about what I want to do with my DoT, Have a fairly large selection. 2x LoC 1x Herald on Disk 1x Herald on Foot 1x Changeling 1x Magister 1x Gaunt Summoner (I still miss you familiars) 1x Ogroid 2x Tzangor Shaman 20x Pinks 30x Blues + Brims 20x Tzangors 40x Acolytes 9x Skyfires 3x Enlightened on Disk 9x Flamers 6x Screamers 2x Chariots 1x Vortex Beast Curseling seems like something I might want to pick up. Completely stumped on list building and covens at this point though. Thats going to take some time.

And I still think the LoC is far too expensive for the modern game state. But all 3 Flamers look to be much better (still waiting on a way to buy exalteds on their own though, without having to but the whole chariot) in addition to the KAs. honestly i'm pretty on the lord of change, but if you want just run guild of summoners and summon 2 for nothing. LoC has always been great in the army and can really boost your spell out put. With better change host just letting you teleport units you are in pretty good shape. But now he just eats endless spells where ever during your hero phase with no cost to your spell out put. This means you can play endless spells with impunity. Honestly thinking of figure out a 3 LoC list with 1 on the table and getting 2 more with guild of summoners. Then maybe mixing in some more endless spells where possible Edit: this in change host seems pretty cool as they can teleport where ever for free, set up endless spell that you can immediately or later pick up with your lord of change(s). You'll have a better buffs from your lord of change in guild of summoners as well as every turn on a 4+ you get more CP meaning you could get up to +3 to cast on your pinks. With each pink squad being effectively 50 wounds it actually an insanely durable list depending on how much of what you end up beable to fit in.

It’s almost as if they were fine the way they were and that it was a terrible idea to change them in even the most marginal way.

AverageBoss Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Hmmm. Thinking Gaunt Summoner Ogroid Magister Changeling Tzangor Shaman 10x Acolytes 10x Acolytes 20x Tzaangors as a base. So still 650 points to work with. Dont think I will be using my Skyfires or Enlightened too much sadly. With the loss in synergies, Enlightened could have stayed where they were and Skyfires could have dropped 20-30 points imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acolytes got a huge buff Tzaangors (on foot) are almost as strong as they were when they were broken when you use the hidden agenda Magisters are insanely good Gaunt Summoner got a big buff Thamaturge got a price drop Its literally just the Disc guys that got nerfed.

Is it worth taking over the Gaunt Summoner though, with the 10 free pinks though? Taking both is so expensive so I think we have to choose one.

Luckily the Horrors are simple to paint. I could easily see a list running at least 3x20 Horrors (or MSU's of 10) and filling the remainder with with have you. Maybe Flamers, Screamers and heros?

Loving it so far. I'm thinking you'll want to max out your change host loading up in horror hero's is the way to go to make room for endless spells which you'll need to increase the LoC usefulness. Flamers and screamers can also be used to make way for endless spells. Only change host downside is your really pressing yourself to get 9 spells out a turn. While you'll have +2-4 on everything a few fella and you'll fall short of 9 spells in your first hero phase.

I thought they were all 1:1 splits, meaning it would be 180 Wounds (60 Wounds per 20) and not 300 (or 80 Wounds per 20). If it's the latter and you can use Changehost to teleport them anywhere and also potentially completely an Agenda to make a unit count as 2 models... my god.

I wasn't into to starting another horde army after Skaven but this looks way to fun\unique\competitive not to. Really can't wait to see what people find effective in tournaments, but I'm really feeling the Horror spam Changehost lists under Guild to be something we see a lot of.

Taking both is so expensive so I think we have to choose one. Yeah I think so. Some of our other heroes got much cheaper(Scribes, Magisters, Heralds and Ogroid and Shaman got marginally cheaper). So it’s probably just pre-epmting the LoC, which you can get if you do Guild of Summoners, or Kairos. We probably won’t need Cogs in our lists anymore Gaunts can now be our “cheap” extra casts. We just have to use Acolytes for our battleline now instead, and they are actually worth it at 100 now.

kenshin620 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 From the review spoilers, DoT is more of a sidegrade/streamline of most rules rather than "X rule is now Y rule". Not that it's a bad thing imo, you don't want people on a forum complaining about your army for months on end now! Other than the Horrors of Tzeentch thing though. I'm sure that might be a hot topic for a long while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed it was all 1:1 as each box contains 10 of each but.. not anything GW cares about of course. It would mean we would end up with a ton of spare Brims in that case which I don't like. That's a good bit of cash though as I would need 6 Pink boxes and 12 boxes of Blues on top of the other stuff (like 3 LoC's). I've never been more thankful for local guys giving huge discounts 😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
