Unless he was talking about the Dread Falchions Im fairly certain spirit blades max out at rend 3. Yeah I realised as soon as I hit send that that's what it is called. Yeah I think he might be talking about falchions. But those are only 3 attacks not 5, so not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obeisance Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Oh holy ******. I'm so incredibly wrong. I was using the Falchion profile instead of blades. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obeisance Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Yeah, this was my third game. I transcribed a bunch of notes and stats into an excel document, but copied the wrong profile. Boooooooooooo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your cheatsy Skaven side is coming out I see 😉 One thing with your list, why run 2x10 Mortek instead.of another unit of 20? I assume just for more board coverage but I've found the units of 10 aren't worthwhile at much.. I'd rather have a more solid unit up front and in the fighting.

Aelfric Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I have a question and thought this would be the place to ask it. If a Gothizzar Harvester is slain, can it bring itself back to life (using the Bone Harvest ability) with D6 wounds on a 4+? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwendar Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Hey everyone, got a short game against Sylvaneth again.. this time using Nagash. Everyone has been out for the Holidays so I apologize for the Sylvaneth game spam.. other players are slim right now but this guy is great to play. Hopefully the January Meetup will allow me to get in 1-3 different games. Anyway, yeah... thanks for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because once it is slain there is no unit to return it too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obeisance Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 How are people finding Petrifex lists that don't run Arkhan or Katacross? (Also Nagash, I guess) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Also Nagash, I guess) They've worked reasonably well for me (Liege, Soulmason, 2x Boneshapers) but I still think I prefer to have Katakros for the +1 hit aura over banking on the spell to go off on top of all his other utility and 5 RDP. I still have the most success with Katakros + Soulmason, 60 Mortek w/ battalion and 6 Stalkers.. but the above 4 hero list is pretty close (and you can get +1 to wound with the Cartouche).

The Katakros\Soulmason list usually takes Carrion + Predator or I take a Shrieker + Carrion. The other one has enough left to take all 3. Of course, you could also throw in some generic Endless Spells, just be aware you will always have to move your OBR ones first meaning your opponent will always get to move the generic ones no matter what.

Obeisance Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I've gotten a lot of value out of the Shrieker, some from the Predator. I've never actually cast the Carrion. It doesn't seem worth the -1 cast. Prove me wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I could see it being useful is if something is hiding from Arkhan and you cast it behind then Arcane Bolt them twice. EDIT: Or hiding from Nagash and you bolt them 7 times Edited January 1, 2020 by SleeperAgent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obeisance Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Wait, it grants point of origin on casting? I thought it was just line of sight. I assume range is still needed from Arkhan? Otherwise it's basically a spell portal. Edited January 1, 2020 by Obeisance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwendar Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 @Obeisance Right, just LoS, not a point of origin like the Spellportal. It's great for people that like to hide their stuff behind terrain (like a Slann). Also, keep in mind it puts out damage\healing every phase in which you did damage.. so it could potentially add up to a decent amount over the course of the game.

I think about the one on the previous post, mainly 3x20 mortek, Arkham Liege soulmason, and the shield corps. Not sure yet on the extra 400 if go with 6 stalkers (less drops and more focused on killing big thingsa and taking advantage of the extra atacks) or 2 crawlers (2 snipe heroes and units in objectives). Is there a better option to go semi blind? I would test the list a lot before playing the tournament, but unfortunately I havent played much before sending the list and I havent figure out the most optimal list yet... Thanks! I'm trying this but with 2 shapers instead of arkhan and with the 400 points, I'm doing 2 harvesters. Having basically a 4+ after save is really good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cast out anywhere in LOS, ideally in a big blob on enemy units, on a 3+ in the hero phase, shooting phase, charge phase, combat phase, battleshock phase that a model is removed near it, every unit within 6 takes a mortal. I've killed characters with it without targeting the characters with anything 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scurvydog Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Having quite a few games under the belt now, I think in terms of strongest list, as in bring to tournaments in top competetive play and never to your friends, is a Katakros and guard spam list, including stalkers. I am thinking Arkhan might not be a bad choice, as he does bring a lot for his points, with petrifex and Katakros buffs he is a force himself to fear in combat and decently durable too, while also providing those nice heals along with Katakros to provide som oppressive staying power. As the list is weak against Mortal wounds, having access to 3 unbinds with +2 will really help as well. While Mortek does a LOT of damage especially as petrifex, the Stalkers do even more. The next choice would be 2 harvesters instead of Stalkers, as they also do a lot of damage, while giving even more sustain, they are less effective going of on their own though and the list is somewhat lacking in board presence, so having the stalkers might be best, as durability is not really the issue, and nothing comes close to the output of stalkers in precision stance.

As petrifex Morteks are plenty tough and a 40 man unit will just result in a lot of models not being able to fight and also less board presence. With 20/20/10 you can get the shield corps battalion instead of the Ballistari one, which is far more useful i find. You could also consider to give godbone armor to your boneshaper instead (as he needs to be rather close to the action) and make him more durable and give the Liege Kavalos the Helm of the Ordained for a +1 to hit bubble within 12" of him. He has the speed to position it decently and make for a mini katakros. The guard blobs can handle well enough with the wizard support, so the Kavalos is really useful with the deahtriders, buffing them with the +1 hit bubble, +1 attack command and then the petrifex +1 rend and they will oblitarate whatever they charge and can also do some sneaky pile ins potentially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for the advice however, the problem I have with running 20/20/10 in a shield corps is I need an extra 70pts for the extra unit of Mortek and the Shield-corps battalion. Could drop the endless spells for 50pts but still 20pts short. I could drop the unit of Horses and Carrion endless spell and have 20/20/20 Guard with the Shield-Corps battalion but I quite like the quickness of the Deathriders getting around the table.
