JackStreicher Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 @Agent of Chaos how did you get 5cp? ^^ you can only get cp via battallions and you can only buy one. apart from that I made similar experiences. (Yet I have to add that the Chaos Lord on foot is a super hero slayer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy another one for 50 pts less, you could have 6 in total at Turn 1. :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus The Blue Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Going to be playing with my Despoilers list for the first time tonight. Mainly I want to crush stuff with Soul Grinders, but should be a solid list. Despoilers, 2k, All marked Slaanesh were possible. Daemon Prince: General (Paragon of Ruin), Sword, Doombringer Blade Daemon Prince, Axe Be'lakor, Whispers of Chaos Chaos Sorcerer Lord on Manticore, Mask of Darkness 3 * 5 Horsemen with Axes 20 Marauders with Axes 3 * 1 Soul Grinders (1 Sword, 2 Talons) Prismatic Pasclade. Hope is that the Pascalade works well with Twisted dominon to shut down lines of site against shooting lists. Other synergy is Doom Blade with Soulgrinders, as it works on shooting as well as Melee. So one enemy monster/hero should be marked for a very swift death. Horsemen are a bit of a stand-in until I can get more Marauders built (converting them).

Magnus The Blue Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 On an unrelated note have people played with Javlin horsemen much? Seem solid on paper once the unit has 10+ models they are throwing out 3+/3+/-1 shooting which is not to be sneezed at! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStreicher Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 On the topic of S2D having missed a mark I guess the most frustrating part is that GW just ignores it and they don‘t say „hey guys, maybe we were a little too tame with S2D, check out this new FAQ with slight reworks“ - everyone would be happy! So we‘ll have to wait another 2-5 years until there might be changes for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I read this a couple of times now in this thread: You cant give Oracular Visions to a Daemon Prince since he lacks the Keyword Mortal. Same with the Tzeentch Warshrine Prayer. Only for Mortals. Would be great, but GW says no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent of Chaos Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I'd only just realised the limitation on daemonic power and now you point that out 😞 Thanks though. That pretty much eliminates the need for a 2nd sorcerer lord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enwolved Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I love to run Chosen, I think they are incredibly underrated and I put Oracular Visions on them almost all the time. The other one can go on my Karkadrak or sth else. So a second one can come in handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasnad Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 How does the chosen models compare to the new warriors? .. Any good alternative conversions or models that would fit in well? .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I‘d recommend to do the following: Depending on the Mark you‘ll give them you could use the following models: -Blightkings, Bloodwarriors, conversion of Melusai for Slaanesh, Chaos Warriors with Kairic Acolyte Weapons for Tzeentch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have everything painted up yet, but something like this: Definitely room for improvement though. Chaos Warriors are my favourite unit, although I think it would be better to just have more Marauders. Not sure though, need more testing when I finished the marauder models. I also think Furies are underrated as well, but I cant them them in this list unfortunately. Everything is just really expensive in points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent of Chaos Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Looks pretty good to me. If I wasn't taking Be'lakor than a warshrine and some chosen is a good trade. Why Despoilers though? Wouldnt you get more out of Ravagers? Only Daemon Prince Generals can take the Despoilers Command Traits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enwolved Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) Yeah you are right, but I am not sure yet.. I feel like all the Legions dont do that much for me. Maybe I will take the Mantle for D3 command points. Then I need to go Despoilers. Its also nice to have the 18'' aura for my General though. Kinda want to have the DP to be Khorne for his CA, so he cant be the general in my case. But will definitely try Ravagers as well.

You really should go and test this as ravagers. Always nice to have 10 Marauders spawn at an edge and steal an objective if the opponent doesn't watch out. Or you bring some furies early on... ;-) Can't really see what despoilers does for you in this list, if you aren't takin' the diabolic mantle.

whispersofblood Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I think we need to carefully seperate two sets of facts here. S2D has probably 2 extremely competitive archetypes, like oppression tier if played by a good enough player. On the other hand, all the reasons a person might be interesting playing S2D are not included in those lists by default, but you could compromise the list sort of to include some of them. The thrid problem is the game is actually moving away with a lot of speed from the things that make Knights and Warriors actually a sort of strong. Concentrating your points in infantry units, that are not either extremely offensively powerful and durable, or able to take 4+ rounds of high end combat dmg is on its way out. 5 man knight units are actually alright as mobile walls, they generally take more than their points to remove, but they aren't at the peak of the role, so often cheaper units will be surperior because you can get more of it.

If spelled right it would be (Marauders,Marauders) and Marauders. The first group is so marauders heavy that the unit is called "Marauders,Marauders" Or maybe he has some insight into a beta version of a new battalion called that. According to the existing synergies i guess it let you reroll spell rolls made by marauder units and they get every mark but you have to chose which one at the beginning of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reroll casting rolls would be too OP though, it’ll be something like, “ in your hero phase, if this unit makes a successful cast, then they get to reroll casting values of 1. This effect last until your next battleshock phase. In addition, this unit can never benefit from abilities that allow you to cast spells” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
