Heaviermetal Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) I was a bit disappointed with the lack of variety at first but I'm looking forward to running these guys soon none the less. 5 cards is very limited. It would have been more interesting to at least see a few weapon choices in the card variation or an option of blightlord leader on pusgoyle at the very least. If anyone wants to post the Demon side of things here, feel free! I'd love to hear some feedback, games etc on them, as I may consider grabbing them at some point too.

Baron Wastelands Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Picked these cards up yesterday too. The abilities are a bit underwhelming in general (though the sting is nice in some missions), but the basic fighters are solid. 2 lists: Blightking leader, Blightking with tocsin, Blightking icon bearer, 2 Blightkings, Pusgoyle blightlord. 995pts Blightking leader, 6 Blightkings. 1000 pts The first list feels more tactically flexible due to having all the runemarks, has the blightlord which I think is almost an auto-include, and can be built from a single start collecting. However, I will of course be going with the second list as it has exactly seven models in it (grandfather be praised). 🤪 Edited February 23, 2020 by Baron Wastelands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girafarig Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 always icon over generic blightking, he isnt too cheap to be viable if its not a matter of 5 points and i would have more speedbuffs spread out than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaviermetal Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) @girafarig Two icons sounds like a solid idea. I'm curious what could be done to add variety in that model though. I'd rather not have 2 of the same poses/banners. I've also read about a build using 2 Tocsins, for split group momentum which sounded interesting.

Heaviermetal Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 I'm going to try and get in a game this week, with probably the same setup to start. I'll post back on how that goes asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaviermetal Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 @Groomy, Yeah, I can completely understand why people are on the fence with em. I think they should have just made demons and rotbringers one pack. The added variety would have given alot more to build with and explore different playstyles.

Heaviermetal Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) I've got everything built and tak'd such as the arms and helmets for ease of painting except for the pusgoyle which I'll wip together tonight. I'm going to try a list with: Blightking leader, 2 Tocsins, Icon, Blightking and Pusgoyle 1000 points Edited February 26, 2020 by Heaviermetal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree entirely; and it seems plausible this was the original intention, since there are not separate campaigns for them in the tome of champions. Maybe they playtested them and decided they were too versatile when all together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vomikron Noxis Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Any thoughts on daemons? They seem a bit better, and a lot more interesting, than Rotbringers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaviermetal Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) I've been on the look out for anyone posting anything anywhere, but have not seen a thing on demons yet.

ccconner777 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I agree that rotbringers feel a bit restrictive. Like, why no pusgoyle leader? Seems odd that the highest ranking guy in the rotbringer hierarchy on this roster cant be a leader. And why not different blightlord options for dual weapons or shields? In every warband ive seen so far a guy with a shield has +1 toughness over the same guy without, why break away from that pattern now and introduce unnecesary inconsistency into the game's rules while simultaneously choosing not to intoduce more variety into probably the most restrictive roster currently in the game? The demons seem more interesting to me. Far more unit variety and different ways to build your warband leaning into either the shambling horde of plaguebearers or an elite drone squad. I love the quad ability that heals potentially up to 12 wounds on a nurgling model too. Looking forward to trying these guys out. I think maggotkin could have just been a single warband since they already share a couple identical abilities anyway. But i bought both card packs and will probably try both out anyway.

Heaviermetal Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Not having a sorcerer in the list was also a missed opportunity, especially with the added beast grave model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaviermetal Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 I think I will be adding one of the Allies to my first list to see how they do together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaviermetal Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) I created custom Lord of Blights and Lord of Plagues Ally cards with the official values if anyone would like to use.😀 Edited February 26, 2020 by Heaviermetal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaviermetal Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 And one more just for fun, house rules Sorcerer. (Leader) Mix between Rotbringer Leader and an Arcanites caster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avvien Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) I've been out of the hobby for a while (time flies), but Warcry is pulling me back in and now my FLGS will be running a month-long Warcry event throughout March. The event demands a static list which I need to decide upon beforehand, but I was thinking that whichever way things go I'd try to report some of it here. Everybody seems to agree that mortals just aren't suited for the game. They're apparently performing poorly and are finishing last in most events I'm reading about (Real shame, I own 25 blightkings I'd love to put on the table), so anyway I was planning to bring a daemons list for the tournament. So far I'm thinking a 980 / 1000 list consisting of: - 1x Plagueridden - 5x Plaguebearers - 3x Nurglings - 1x Beast of Nurgle I'd love to hear about any tips, tricks, or experience any of you might have with warcry in general, and how you think one might make the most out of a Nurgle daemons list! Also adding a pic of the boys I'm bringing. I figure a Nurgle-themed thread might have some painting tips I could benefit from too, as I feel some of my models are coming up a bit bland.

Heaviermetal Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) So I sorta got a game in today against Nighthaunt with my Rotbringers. I took the standard loadout; Blightking leader, Blightking with tocsin, Blightking icon bearer, 2 Blightkings, and a Pusgoyle blightlord. The game went poorly for me today because I ended up getting the rubbish deployment option. If I could have went with the other option, the game would have gone much smoother in my favor and probably more fun for both of us. The objective was attack/defend, attacker needed to collect and burn, 3 of 6 objectives. I was the defender and it was easy to see, going against fliers who spawn in the better deployment locations near the objectives would easily win this game. We hadn't played this one before, so we didn't know how stupid rng it turned out to be. Still, it was fun to move a few inches and get into a bit of combat lol. Will have some more games this week and will report back when I can. Edited March 24, 2020 by Heaviermetal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
