Is 1 Unit of Pinks and Quicksilver Swords going to do the job or would I want 2 Pinks and a Pendulum at minimum? Depends on how many Fate Points you're getting in addition to Horror kills. The Pendulum will do 3.5 wounds per unit and costs twice the price of the Swords. Statistically, the swords will do 4 wounds to a single unit. So, Pendulum+2 units will give you a reliable 14 blue horror points and 1 fate point. A single unit+swords will get you 8 blue horror points and 1 fate point. Pendulum+3 units will get you 21 blue horror points. If you take Arcane Sacrifice with an Arcanite hero you can get another d3 killed (avg 2). If you take Mark of the Conjurer on LoC/Kairos you can get 4 fate points (or 6 with Chronomantic Cogs). Say you used Quicksilver Swords with Mark of the Conjurer Lord of Change on Pink Horrors. You'd kill 4 Horrors, generate 8 horror points and 2 fate points. Now you'll need to cast 10 spells in order to get a 2nd unit of blue horrors. Say you used Pendulum with Mark of the Conjurer Lord of Change on two units of Pink Horrors. You'd kill 7 Horrors, generate 14 horror points and 2 fate points. Now you'll need to cast 4 spells in order to get a 2nd unit of blue horrors. If you took Chronomantic Cogs, you could cast a 3rd spell with the LoC to give you 2 fate points, leaving you with only needing 2 more (and you already have 2 units of Pinks). Pendulum+2 units of Pink Horrors seems to be pretty reliable. You'll likely be generating a few points more than you'll need (on average) which gives you room for failing spells or being unbound. This is all theoretical, I've only played one game and my Quicksilver Swords dealt 3 wounds turn 1 and 1 wound turn 2.

For your information this is the list I am building towards: Lord of Change (General) (Tzeench's Inferno) Wellspring of Arcane Might Mark of the Conjurer Tzaangor Shaman (Fold Reality) Gaunt Summoner with Familiars (Glimpse the Future) Battleline: Acolytes x10 Acolytes x10 Pink Horrors x10 (Bolt of Tzeench) Other: Enlightened on Disc x9 Skyfires x6 Endless Spells: Quicksilver Swords Cogs I am not sure if the shooting from the Skyfires will be better or to try more aggressively to get as many Blues out as possible. If Blues is the better way to go, I can drop the Skyfires in favor of a Curseling, a 2nd unit of Pinks, and a Pendulum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmimzie Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) A another note on summoning. I've been running pendulum and burning head hitting 3 units of pink horror to summon an average of 30 blue horrors the first turn. 51 minutes ago, Reezark_SP said: Tzaangor Shaman (Fold Reality I've stopped bringing myshaman. Hes pretty great for further up field set up of blue horrors, and of course his buff is quite nice on a big unit of enlightend, but his worth becomes abit questionable once you also drop the skyfires. The enlightend hit quite hard enough with just the 9 models, and the pink horrors get an extra + to cast when near a hero so they can throw fold reality for you. Edit: a more depth reasoning on the shaman. +1 to hit is basicly +1/3rd to the spear and beam attacks damage. However those two are only about 55-60% of the damage of a whole model. Meaning by bringing the shaman you are basicly spending 180 pts for only about a 83pts worth of bump to your enlightend unit. Which isnt terrible and is pretty good depending on how you see the unit, and gets better when you bring skyfires as well.

For your information this is the list I am building towards: Hey no problem! It was useful for me, too. I was worried about lacking fodder if I removed the acolytes and took 30 pink horrors, but after looking at the numbers I think it could work, and be fun. Blues are not a replacement for Skyfires, but they certainly are for acolytes. The downside to blues is that the enemy can block their placement, but I'm guessing that's why it's so important to get the summoning out early. I'm thinking I might try this (proxy) with a friend: Allegiance: TzeentchLeadersGaunt Summoner and Chaos Familiars (180)- General- Trait: Arcane Sacrifice - Lore of Fate: Glimpse the FutureLord Of Change (380)- Artefact: Mark of the Conjurer - Lore of Change: Fold RealityThe Blue Scribes (140)- Lore of Change: Fold RealityOgroid Thaumaturge (180)- Lore of Fate: Treacherous BondBattleline10 x Pink Horrors Of Tzeentch (200)- Lore of Change: Bolt of Tzeentch10 x Pink Horrors Of Tzeentch (200)- Lore of Change: Tzeentch's Firestorm10 x Pink Horrors Of Tzeentch (200)- Lore of Change: Unchecked MutationUnits9 x Tzaangor Enlightened on Disc (420)Endless SpellsAethervoid Pendulum (40)Chronomantic Cogs (60)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 98 Since the Shaman is 180 points and does not increase the potency more than adding 3 Enlightened for 140 points I'm thinking I won't take him at all (but that's because I'm not taking any Skyfires or Tzaangor units, too). In terms of pure summoning potential, the Curseling and Gaunt are the cheapest in points per spell casts, but I don't really want the Curseling. The Blue Scribes is still cheaper per cast than most other heroes, and giving all my wizards rerolls to their casts will be very helpful for summoning and will let me save on destiny dice. Ogroid seems to have a lot of potential being able to deal good melee damage, auto-heal, and cast spells. I'm hoping Treacherous Bond will be a useful way to kill off horrors while enraged without risking dying. The one thing that worried me was having no fodder at all. But if I get off all my spells on turn 1, I should get an average of 25 blue horror points and 13 fate points, giving me the option to drop 20-30 blues.

newsun Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 6 hours ago, Kharneth said: I'm hoping for insight from other players to avoid buying units I'll end up realizing I won't use. I really like Pink Horrors, but they're expensive and I'm not sure I can field 3 units, but I'd like to. I already have 3 enlightened and I'd like at least 3 more, but I'm worried about their usage. In 2,000 points 9 enlightened and a shaman is 600 points. That just seems like a lot of points located in a small unit, granted they are very fast and the points include a wizard. I'm also worried about Fold Reality because 1 in 6 casts is going to be fatal. I recently discovered (on here) that Kairo can help mitigate this with his one-time ability, but I don't think Kairo is a replacement for a Lord of Change since he's missing the command ability and his unique spell isn't quite as good, imo (plus I'd need to buy a spawn or two). I'm not sure if I could fit all of the things and the advice I previously got was not to take more than 3 battleline units, so if I took 30 Pinks and 0 kairic acolytes, that might not be so good. On the other hand, maybe being able to summon 20 blue horrors on turn 1 would make-up for it. You may want to consider proxying then. You can do a ton of research online and have the collective tell you the most efficient list, buy that stuff only to find out that does not work with your play style at all.

Old school version was a wet noodle outside of magic phase and no way to leave combat. I'm curious to see how your list plays out. Was discussing running two units of 6 enlightened with min units of screamers to interdict on the way and maybe help proc the rerolls too.

Otherwise it is about optimizing the spells, this is my first time with the LoC so I have a lot of expectations. I wanted to play the Blue Scrib with it to make the spells even more reliable but it is still being built. If you have some feedbacks on the Beastclaw Raiders match-up they are welcomed!

Any advices on traits and spells and the list in general? I was thinking something similar but going Beast alliance (see Beast Thread for my list). I think that because the Phantasmagoria is so expensive, you really need the ring as much value out of it as possible. To me that means not too many wizards as thy water down the value of the Battalion ability, as much as possible of your army in the Battalion so you are going to get choice of first turn, and Bad ****** artefacts to take advantage of having two. With that in mind and lack of casters to take advantage of the LoC command ability, I'd think about putting in a Beastlord with a choppy artefact (probably instead of the Herald), swapping out the Acoloytes for a screen that fits into the battalion (ungors, or Centigors are great) and move all the Tzaangor units into the battalion. Of course, less casters limited the value of summoning, which is why I prefer the beasts allegiance abilities. Obviously best for you too stick to Tzeentch if your running a LoC or loses access to the Lore of Change. 9 minutes ago, marke said: Speaking of Enlightened there doesn't seem to be much discussion about discs vs hooves.

The disk attacked mean that their damage output is similar point for point so basically your trading a bit of resilience (per point spent) for a lot of movement. Disks also have the advantage of being demons, so can be targeted with fold reality (not a minor consideration). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Eyebrows Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hi all - first time poster :) I'm going to a tournament towards the beginning of next year, only my 2nd one. I was looking at maybe trying a Changehost, wondered what folks thoughts on the matter were? Current idea is (2000pts) LoC, with Staff, Mark of the Conjurer, Magical Supremacy Ogrid Thaumaturge Blue Scribes Herald on foot 2x 10 Pink Horrors 2x 10 Brimstone Horrors 2x 3 Screamers 1x 10 Blue Horrors 1x 10 Acolytes with either the shackles or the wall (forgotten the name...) to limit opponent's movement. Not sure on the viability of the list though. Does anyone have experience of using the changehost? What would you do? (Ogrid is there because 1- I have one, and 2- the model is great :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Ogrid is there because 1- I have one, and 2- the model is great ) If you are looking for something competitive, you might need to consider more the mortal side. It seems Tzeentch batallions are not very optimal at the moment. In addition a couple of your units are not great in a starting list except for summoning in specific situations, like the screamers and the brimstones. Your heroes are good but I am not sure about Magical Supremacy, now you can unbind spells at 30inches, largely enough for most of the use cases. Arcan sacrifice is a good choice to kill you own pinks and gather blue horror points early. If you have a gaunt summoner with familiars, he is great against hordes. Consider adding Tzaangor enlightened for a great impact in close combat. With a LoC and a Blue Scrib you may wat to play as many spells as you can, so adding the Chronomantic Cogs or the Balewind Vortex can be a good idea, plus a coupl more endless spells.

I think you need more teeth, either through more casters or Tzaangors (regular or enlightened). You have tonnes of screening units (and even more when the pinks die) but not much worth screening. Another potential issue is lack of turn one options if you go first, only damage you would do is twosspells from the Pinks (changehost swaping them to get closer before cast). A mortal cast with Arcane sacrifice helps (ideally Guant summoner with familiars) and/or balewind vortex.

It's 5" across at its widest point, and now counts as the caster for measuring range/area of control/pile-ins etc, so if you set it up 1" in front of your caster with the widest section pointing toward your intended target, that's a straight up 6" range increase. Then you get the 6" range buff from the model's effect, and the 9" buff from arcane sacrifice. 6+6+9+18=39. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really love to find a way to include cogs on a MotC LoC, vortex on an Arcane Sacrifice Gaunt, and Pendulum for 3x10 Pink Horrors. But maybe that's just excessive haha. We are allowed to cast Arcane Bolt and Mystic Shield more than once, right? Can we cast Mystic Shield on a unit already buffed with Mystic Shield for the purpose of fate points in situations where there are no alternative options? Also, is it possible to use the LoC command ability more than once a turn to stack the +1 to cast spells? I read on here something about using 2-3 of it in a turn for a devastating magic phase but I had assumed the way this worked was simply +1 to cast each turn I wanted to spend a command point.

For instance will take all the killiness out of your list while letting you go truely nutss on pumping out horrors. The main problem being that it's hard to summoning if your opponent pushes out into most of the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
