King Under the Mountain Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Has anyone here painted their ships with a Barak Zilfin color scheme? Just curious on what Citidal paints you would recommend for the greenish window ports. Need to go out tmr to buy some new paints and would love some help.

cofaxest Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) So... I have played 2 games today. 1 Against SCE (I won 12-5) 2 Against Slaanesh with Archaon (I was tabled, but only because of my mistakes) First game Scorched earth Long story short. My opponent use 6 birds and 2 squads of liberator as a screen for big shooty unit and heroes. On turn one I kill all birds and 1 unit of liberators so my opponent can't destroy my points. Stormcasts shoots 2 times in my Ironclad and fail 6 towound rolls from 6 (3+ with reroll 1s, lol) SCE gets double turn and kills my Ironclad and some thunderers (alot of them actually) In return I was able to kill 1 more squad of liberators, knight azyros, 2 more guys and burn 2 of his objective markers (plus scoring all of mine) On turn three SC failed to charge my gunhaulers and we call it a game because even if he will table me he can't get the same amount of points. Second game I made 2 mistakes that cost me a game 1) I decide to attack flying Keeper instead of Archaon 2) I disembark thunderers and think that you can't embark them if there's enemy models within 3 inches of the ship. My thunderers doesn't do anything for 2 rounds and Archaon tables me) But after the game I can bet that I could kill Archaon and 1 keeper on the right flank. Right now I feel like 20 thunderers with full tohit and towound rerolls can easily kill any 1 model unit on turn 1 and our movement abilities could be very frustrating for your opponent.

FractalRain Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) FYI, I saw a store copy of Aether War and it has lots of cool lore added, as well as some aerial battle rules. Additionally, it has Warscroll Battalions for the KO and Tzeentch models in the box! I suppose other box sets did too, but I hadn't seen them before. Looks like the battalion costs 110 points. The KO battalion is Intrepid Prospectors: 1 Endrinmaster with Dirigible Suit 1 unit of 3 Endrinriggers 1 unit of 3 Skywardens 1 Grundstok Gunhauler Battalion ability is after all armies have been set up, but before the first battle round begins, you can move friendly units from this battalion up to 6". Nothing too powerful, but a cool bonus! Edited January 10, 2020 by FractalRain updated battalion cost 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you have both to hit and to wound rerolls in the same turn? Beautifully painted miniatures by the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe my gunhaulers was broken but with drill I deal 5-6 wounds each round. 3 mw on 5+ tohit and rend -3 is very dangerous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlmGandix3 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 So this might be a though question without playtesting, but what are the strategic diffrences of skywardens and endrinriggers. I thought about using some in my tempest eye list and maybe build a Barak Thryng army later down the line. I want to use them as fast units to grab objectives and do some damage on the flanks and maybe some hero sniping (be it melee or range). I really like the new grapling launcher so you can now tie up key units. At first glance the skywardens seem stronger since they have two melee attacks and 2" range. My conclusion is if I want a more shooty squad i should go with the endrinriggers due to their 1" range and the skywardens are more melee focused since I can get more of them in range with their 2" range. With the tempest eye spell for extra attacks this might be diffrent though.(would be hard to keep a mage in range) I havent used them before so I dont know how good they fit or their melee and ranged capabilities compare.

Imo you want to keep Endrinriggers close to your Ironclad to heal it up and shoot with Volleyguns and Skyhook/Grapnel/Drill Cannons while doing so. Skywardens on the other hand are our best close combat unit now that they have the most attacks. Buff them up with a Khemist, take Barak Zon or a Triumph to reroll hits on the decisive charge and wreck whats in your path. Worked before if you were lucky, works perfectly now that you can chose your reroll/ improve hit/wound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5kaven5lave Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 In GW’s slight defence re: Aether War, it lasted a lot longer than the OBR vs. Ogors box. A week’s warning plus almost a week on general sale should be enough time for interested parties to scrape the pennies together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
