Death to all by rend 2 vomit! I am really hoping that he gets rereleased in a legacy release. Now that I was able to order a couple copies of Gorbad Ironclaw Throgg remains one of the models that I really feel bad for missing out on.

Karchev23 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Endrinriggers. Love them to bits, one of the units that made me fall in love with KO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffounet Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 My old metal dark riders. They always hit with pillow on their weapon in AoS but, i like the raiding/flanking vibe of the unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you could almost argue it for Flesh-eater Courts too.......... Well Beastmen could maybe be a destruction army, but skaven are just a different kind of story. from my perspective (or from most skaven players), they shouldn’t even be included in any of the grand allegiances, but simply put, have their own. Oh, Queek headtaker and Thanquol are one of my favorite units in the game and lore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angrycontra Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Magmadroths. I just love magmadroths. I started collecting fyreslayers simply because I love my magmababies so much. I have 3 of them even though I doubt I will ever wield all of them in any serious game. They're fun to paint and pretty to look at too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayple Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I'm a big fan of the screaming bell/plague furnace, and struggle to bring them into my lists, but my biggest "pet model" has to be the Skaven Warlord. Tend to be the last model standing just because I go above and beyond to keep him safe. Hiding him in houses and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoah_twitch Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Great thread, I'll throw my hat into the ring. Tenebrael Shard is really high on the list, he reminds me of Kabal from mk3 except an aelf. Yes, he only does something on a 4+ and so most competitive people probably go for more consistent stuff, but the only thing I've found more fun than hiding an assassin inside his pants is giving him a sword of japan from ulgu. Him and pretty much anyone with a 6" activation and pile-in, currently it's icefall yhetees (once I found a suitable gw counts-as). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of Queek Headtaker love in this thread. A good amount of Skaven mentions in general like they're just this great pet army in general. I love it.

My 6 blightlords and Loa are in every list I make haha. I know it’d be a better idea to take drones, but I think pusgoyles are so much cooler!

Tarryk Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I love the Araloth/Nomad Prince model. If/when they get around to properly bringing Wanderers into AoS I really hope they base the rest of the army on him. That and he is also a bit of beast on the table too!

xaljorn14 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 My pet model would have to be the Knight Azyros. I didn't get to use him when he acted like a teleport homer but he always earns his points. During a skirmish league he single handedly won me a game vs sylvaneth. I charged him forward into melee with a dryad next to the objective my opponent was deployed all around. The next turn I won intiative and used his lantern bomb to wipe out over two thirds of my foe's warband. The next time I used him in a 1500 point game, he tied up a tzentch chariot and pink horrors for 3 rounds, detonating his lantern to burn away a ton of the demons arrayed against him. I still need to finish painting him actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkBlack Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I don't always bring it, but often regret trying to take the game too seriously if I don't. My mutalith, with my Tzeentch daemons. It stayed after I sold my mortals (as did my spawn). That thing looks amazing and the random effects add some fun to a game that I believe is at it's best when not taken seriously.

MrZakalwe Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Seawarden and 30 Highborn Archers combo- basically every one of my Order lists is built on that core as the Seadrake Pennant/Stand your ground/Volley of arrows combo is hilarious and has never yet got old for me. The look on your opponent's face the first time you you drop 47 wounds on something using some crappy Compendium stuff is glorious. Edit: although finding out the hard way about Archaon's reflected damage ability with that unit was less fun - put Archaon down to a couple of wounds from full and killed twenty-something of the archers (including battleshock). Call it a draw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb070707 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Personally, no matter the size or state of the game, I like to include at least 5 blood knights. They are the soul(blight) of my lists, lovingly painted, immortal crusaders willing to charge anything on the other side of the table. They capture the feel of any death army, and are quite effective to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash Bauer Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 What an awesome thread! Personally I can't help but bring a Skullgrinder in my Khorne Mortals lists. The idea of a blacksmith using his anvil as a weapon is just fantastic to me. All of you are making me want to get Queek for my new Skaven army!

It makes me happy to know someone represents them and love them as they deserve. They almost got me to invest into a Fyreslayers army as I have always liked Dwarfs and Slayers have been a personal favorite. The only thing that stopped me was that I don't like the Magmadroth in multiples. I have a thing that makes me really hate duplicate sculpts in an army. A lot of big monsters you can tweak to give them a slightly different pose or other modifications, but the Magmadroth is one of those highly detailed models in a really particular pose that just seems like converting the pose would be more trouble than it is worth. But, if they ever expand the Fyreslayer range with a bit more stuff I would probably scoop up the army in a heart beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tailessine Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Idoneth Leviadon! The army i am planning will need at least 2, as fluffwise their howdahs are used to transport namarti squads to keep up with the Akhelians. Plus it has about the most dangerous bite in the game and looks amazing. Ironjawz megaboss is my other choice, he is the epitome of orkiness.

Aginor Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I have a few models that I just love to run because the models are so nice. My custom made Wight King with Banner which is not playable anymore so the banner is only decorative now. My Chameleon Skink Stalker (Oxyotl) that was removed from the game a week after I painted it.... *eye twitch* And my custom made Skink Chief which... *sob* is not playable anymore. See the pattern there? Yeah I am not a lucky guy in that regard. At least I also love my Bastiladon and Slann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I don't have my pet models yet - but I am quite determined to have two potential pets: 1) A Khinerai assassin model conversion with a group of lifetakers. I just love the idea of winged death flying down and then a shadowblade assassin appearing from the group to further slice and dice the enemy 2) Gryph hounds. I don't want to build a Stormcast army (even though they look great and have a diversity of mounts/beasties that I do like); but I want to take Gryph Hounds! Even if they are not as good as they were before (their watchman ability now only works on Stormcast not any friendly unit so they are no long as good at holding back to protect against units swooping into the battlefield).

Leviadon is one of those models that looks so good it practically makes you want to play the army. Not only does it look like a centerpiece but that save it provides makes it a tactical centerpiece.
