Tyno2025 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 So i'm looking into building a khorne force for sigmar and I REALLY like the skullreaper and the mighty lord of khorne models. I know there is a battalion with skullreapers in it, but i'm not sure what's the most efficient way run them in a 2000 point list around them. Any suggestions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 One unit of 10 can be amazing and so can 2x 5 be. In either case I would say that 10 of them are sufficient to start out with. Their usefullness really depends on your list, host and possible Battalion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyno2025 Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 Any ideas on building a list around a couple units of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosUndivided Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Yes. Start with Slaughterborn battalion and go from there. The Reapers really benifit from the Bloodsecrator, Blood Stoker, and Slaughter Priest buffs so any/ all of them are a good addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyno2025 Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 Are they better in 5 man units with an icon or with 10+? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyno2025 Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 I guess I should also ask what kind of list would you build as an example with them in it. I was playing around with the skulltake battalion myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimrock Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) I'd say skullreapers are best in units of 5. With the change to 'wholly within' on most buffs the 5 man unit will be a lot easier to manage, and 5 of them will kill most things with a few buffs so a 10 man unit might be overkill. If I were going to use them along with a mighty lord of khorne i'd probably try something like this: Mighty Lord of Khorne Exalted Deathbringer w/spear Slaughterpriest x2 - bronze flesh and killing frenzy Bloodsecrator Bloodstoker 2x 10 Blood Warriors 10 Bloodreavers 2x 5 Skullreapers 5 Wrathmongers 3 Khorgoraths Wrath Axe Slaughterborn Battallion *Skullfiend* Host Use the reavers and warriors as a screen, then crush them with buffed reapers and khorgoraths. Simple enough if your opponent doesn't have a lot of ranged attacks. Edited April 17, 2019 by Grimrock Fixed the host name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyno2025 Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 Did you mean a different battalion besides skullseeker host by chance? Looking it up it looks like that's a daemon battalion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking it up it looks like that's a daemon battalion. I think @Grimrock meant the Skulltake Battalion (it's the only one with Korgoraths) but this wouldn't work with Slaughterborn because the Skullreapers can't be in both Battalions at the same time. Something with the battalions went definitly wrong here. When looking at the used models I would say Skulltake + Gore Pilgrims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimrock Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Sorry! I meant the skullfiend slaughter host, I'll edit it above. It's the one where you get a command ability to reroll hits and wounds on the khorgoraths and the artifact gives two attacks, helpful for getting the most out of the MLoK's axe. I'm not a big fan of skulltake actually, too limited on range and not a huge benefit. Slaughterborn is nice for the resilience it adds and doesnt need to be near the hero.
