Tizianolol Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) On 4/1/2021 at 4:46 PM, Gwendar said: If you want to run a magic focused list, I would argue Hosts Duplicitous for the free RR's is the better option.. hell, even Guild. Flux is only giving 1 caster a +1 to cast and any spell cast that does MW's to a unit will do 1 more on a 4+ to that unit; not exactly good by any stretch of the imagination. I've posted plenty of spellcasting lists and I ran them competitively for ~4-6 months with good success. Unfortunately against the current meta shooting armies it can struggle a bit since it's hero-based. If you play vs something without hero-sniping capability it's great. Speaking of lists, have a couple to run by you all if you're looking to try anything new. I don't post much anymore but IRL games may be starting again soon and I'm looking at starting up my batreps again with the following lists:Varanguard Hide contents Allegiance: Tzeentch- Change Coven: Hosts ArcanumLeadersChaos Sorcerer Lord on Manticore (260)- General- Command Trait: Spell Hunters- Artefact: The Fanged Circlet- Lore of Fate: Shield of FateChaos Sorcerer Lord (110)- Lore of Fate: Glimpse the FutureKairos Fateweaver (400)- Lore of Change: Bolt of TzeentchGreat-Bray Shaman (100)- AlliesBattleline10 x Pink Horrors of Tzeentch (220)10 x Kairic Acolytes (100)- 10x Cursed Blade & Arcanite Shield10 x Kairic Acolytes (100)- 10x Cursed Blade & Arcanite ShieldUnits6 x Varanguard (560)- Daemonforged BladesEndless Spells / Terrain / CPsUmbral Spellportal (70)Darkfire Daemonrift (80)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 100 / 400Wounds: 96 Essentially an Archaon list, but with 6 VG instead. With Daemonforged weapons you're looking at similar output as Archaon and you get to fight again if there's still something within 3" effectively doubling that damage (~36 wounds vs a 4+ on average per pile-in) and actually ending up a bit higher than Archaon with 10 more woundsOG Casting (slightly modified) Hide contents Allegiance: Tzeentch- Change Coven: Hosts DuplicitousLeadersChaos Sorcerer Lord on Manticore (260)- General- Command Trait: Will of the Phantom Lord- Artefact: Brand of the Spirit Daemon- Lore of Fate: Infusion ArcanumKairos Fateweaver (400)- Lore of Change: Bolt of TzeentchThe Blue Scribes (120)- Lore of Change: Tzeentch's FirestormThe Changeling (140)- Lore of Change: Treason of TzeentchChangecaster, Herald of Tzeentch (110)- Lore of Change: Unchecked MutationGreat-Bray Shaman (100)- AlliesBattleline10 x Kairic Acolytes (100)- 10x Cursed Blade & Arcanite Shield10 x Kairic Acolytes (100)- 10x Cursed Blade & Arcanite Shield10 x Kairic Acolytes (100)- 10x Cursed Blade & Arcanite ShieldUnits6 x Tzaangor Skyfires (400)Endless Spells / Terrain / CPsUmbral Spellportal (70)Darkfire Daemonrift (80)Total: 1980 / 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 100 / 400Wounds: 100 This is essentially my original casting list, but without Be'lakor (since he's due to be changed into who knows what) and adding in 6 Skyfires. Now, anyone who's seen me post before knows I sing praises about Skyfires; yeah, they're overcosted but they aren't as horrific as everyone seems to think. They're a bit dual-purpose and make your opponent (who will undoubtedly beat you on drops) think a bit about their 40" threat range taking out one of their support characters. Since they get RR's by attacking first you can easily get them to clear an objective of a chaff unit since fully buffed they're generally throwing out ~20 wounds vs a 4+ save. Are they going to take down 20 Hearthguard or 30 Phoenix Guard? No, but that's not their purpose; you have a ton of MW's via magic and a few ways to stack negative modifiers on units to take care of situations like that. This will generally get out at least 10 FP a turn unless you roll absolutely horrifically. Obviously if you like you can drop Skyfires for Enlightened or a StD unit + Sorc Lord or switch around the casters. This could be ran in GoS too and in that scenario you just use the Changeling as a RR battery.. I just enjoy summoning inescapable Horrors every turn and getting free RR's to casting and unbinding without worrying about rolling to get the RR's that I always end up rolling a 1+ for. As alweys i love your lists so mutch, expecially the second one! -Do you think they gonna change belakor warscroll?:) - what about add balewind vortex for herald of tz ( 40pts) if I decide to play englighted? Thx so mutch!!:) Edited April 3, 2021 by Tizianolol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabbuk Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Hey guys, I've tried to use the search engine on TGA and couldn't find the answer I'm looking for and Google also had mostly old info (pre new battletome). Any advice on building tzaangors with shields or dual blades for a unit of 10 or a unit of 20? Hope someone can help out. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its 20 go shields, you'll have 8 greatblades and 4 mutants so there usually won't be room to fit many of the remaining 8 into combat. If its a unit of 10 it can go either way, dual blades will be more damage, especially once you lose the extra attack but for the most part tzaangors don't do much when you lose the extra attack anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeryenn Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Ok, I'm really confused now. I'm building my first Kairic Acolyte 20men unit. The warscroll says that 3 in every 10 models can use Glaives. That means a unit of 20 can use 6 of those guys. Now.... I find that there are only 4 Glaives on the box (pic, parts 69 and 70) since Kairic Adepts weapon is called a blade (though it looks much more similar to a glaive than a blade). So, what is the truth behind that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only way it makes sense. Also if you notice, on GW website, the Adept has a sword so this glaive could be given to someone else too.

Deadrixc Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Hey Changecasters, Im looking into getting my first army and ive always loved tzeentch's aesthetics. So I was wondering if you guys could help me build a 2k point list. Ive already made a few draft lists but I thought id come here first. First thing is, Id like to play a mostly mortals army. Tzaangors and kairic acolytes seems really fun, especially when you add in battalions and change covens. also horrors burn through cash faster than warpfire through a nurgling. Id probably be using either the cult of transient for changehost, or the pyrofane cult, both seem like interesting and different ways to play. Any advice or tips are appreciated!

Aeryenn Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I've encountered another problem. The warscroll says that only one model in a unit can be a Kairic Adept. Unfortunately the unit's boss is called so, then another with a dark scroll is also Kairic Adept and the one with a bird as well. Does that mean I have to choose or i can have all three as this "one per unit" only refers to the boss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx so mutch!!:) I appreciate it, I love making and sharing them with people. As for Be'lakor, absolutely.. I think it's a given he will be changed and points will be increased since he's basically just Archaon but for Daemons.. so I leave him out of lists since he may\may not have the unit shutdown and even if he does he may double (or more) in points and then it won't be worth it in a casting based list (unless he becomes as beatstick as Archaon) I ran BW all the time for the Changecaster since it pairs so well with him.. but in that particular list I just couldn't fit it in which is fine. If you can afford it in a list do it, otherwise it's not a huge detriment if you don't have it On 4/4/2021 at 5:15 AM, Tizianolol said: Speaking about host duplicious, if I summon a spawn into an opponent unit, that spawn became an host duplicious unit?

Correct, that's one reason I typically run my caster lists in HD (and also why you could use a Magister as he also can summon a Spawn with his spell) along with the fact the free RR's to casting\unbinding are so good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you could, although I greatly prefer the ability to pull things out of what with the Shaman's spell. Plus it makes the Skyfires move an extra 3" if that matters to you (45" threat range) compared to just doing d3 MW's and maybe getting another Spawn. Either way it can be justified I suppose.

The Adept is the boss of the unit (there's only one) then the guy with Scroll of Dark Arts, one per 10, and Vulcharch guy, one per 10. You can choose to put less if you want. I didn't even know these other two were called adepts. Just stick to what the warscroll says 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advace Not quite sure what the purpose of the Changecasters are? With Archaon you really want him juiced up so he can take a punch and deliver one as well. You typically see Kairos paired with him because Kairos can cast the Daemonic Power off the Chaos Sorcerer Lord much more reliably plus you have the added bonus of being able to ranged snipe a hero or something else with Umbrall Spellportal + Gift of Change. Archaon will be out and about doing stuff while the Changecasters will sit back and do very little. I feel like the typical Archaon list you see in Tzeentch is quite refined and honestly this just seems like a toned down version of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heijoshin Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Hey Everyone, Sorry if this has been asked before, but can I use multiple destiny dice for multiple rolls? I ask because in 40k, Sisters of Battle have a similar dice changing mechanic. As rolls are "supposed" to be done 1 by one according to the rules, and there is a restriction of only one "act of faith" (dice change) allowed per phase, I can only change one hit / wound or save roll, despite having loads of dice to use. Is this the same in AoS? Say I have 3 4s, can I change 3 hit wound or save rolls to those 4s? Sorry if that doesn't make sense. All of this Tzeentchian trickery makes my simple Death non existent brain hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started building my Tzeentch army recently and this is one of the pictures that serves as a great inspiration for me (in general, I absolutely love Adrian Smith and Karl Kopinski): I really like the idea of playing Tzeentch army with a lot of Chaos Warriors, Knights, Tzaangors and Skyfires, supported by Wizaards and Greater Daeons (this is probably far from being tournament-level army, but that was never my intention anyway). Cult of the Thousand Eyes from the "Wrath of the Everchosen" book is definitely something that fits in this idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Hi, quick question regarding Kairos special rules. From his warscroll: "In addition, while friendly Wizardsare wholly within 18" of him, Kairos Fateweaver knows any spells on those Wizards’ warscrolls that are possible for him to cast." What does "that are possible for him to cast" really mean? What are some exceptions to this rule? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAWhit88 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 A new player looking for some advice. I have collected a disciples of tzeentch force that I intend to make a little less squishy with S2D units (warriors, knights, warshrine). I would also like to run the Phantasmagoria of fate battalion as I like the look of BoC units, and I would like to have a cygor as a mage sniper with fate dice. My questions are: - Has anyone got experience of running this battalion with DoT? Or does its ability to give non wizard units a chance to dispel work too much against the summoning mechanic? - Would I be better off taking a ghorgon than a cygor? Any advice/anecdotes welcome and my apologies for the noob questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheo567 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) Hi! I would like to get your advice on starting a 1000 points tzeentch daemons army. I really don't want to be THAT GUY but I have been a fan of horrors and flamers since the old 2000 times. Reading this thread and other resources like goonhamer I think that Eternal conflagration is the easiest but more predictible way to go. In the end I arrived to two different armies and I don't know if the second one is in a more serious disadvantage. I really like my LoC model (it was a present from my wife, who will also be my more frequent opponent) and I would like to use it, but between this and the horror units I don't have that much points wiggle room I guess. Army 1 Allegiance: Tzeentch - Change Coven: Eternal Conflaguration Leaders Changecaster, Herald of Tzeentch (110) - General Fateskimmer, Herald of Tzeentch on Burning Chariot (140) Battleline 10 x Pink Horrors of Tzeentch (220) 10 x Pink Horrors of Tzeentch (220) 3 x Flamers of Tzeentch (140) 3 x Flamers of Tzeentch (140) Total: 970 / 1000 Extra Command Points: 0 Allies: 0 / 200 Wounds: 45 Army 2 Allegiance: Tzeentch - Change Coven: Eternal Conflaguration Leaders Lord of Change (380) - General Changecaster, Herald of Tzeentch (110) Battleline 10 x Pink Horrors of Tzeentch (220) 3 x Flamers of Tzeentch (140) 3 x Flamers of Tzeentch (140) Total: 990 / 1000 Extra Command Points: 0 Allies: 0 / 200 Wounds: 41 So what would you change. Are they viable? Thank you in advance for your help. Edited April 27, 2021 by Prometheo567 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
