MADPolo Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I'm sure this same question is answered everyday and I've been reading/lurking, but figured I'd ask anyways. I have the Khorne portion of the starter set and will be, at first anyways, playing him and his Stormcast. I'd like to put together roughly 1000pts together. I'd like to go mainly Khorne Bloodbound, but definitely am not against mixing in other Chaos. So after the starter box, where should I go from here for a solid .VS Stormcast setup?

Wolden Spoons Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 As always the Start Collecting boxes are brilliant value. Blood Warriors x10, MIGHTY Skullcrushers and a slaughter priest. Job done. oh and pick up White Dwarf too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkiham Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 1k points. Hmm. 2 bloodsecrators, 240 2 units of 10 blood warriors, put glaive on champion, 640 Bloodstoker 720 gorebeast chariot of khorne 820 Mighty lord, 940 Bloodreavers x 10 1000 Had to alter the list as I calculated it wrong.

BloodBeast Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Check out the latest episode of the Heralds of War podcast. It's a rundown of how to put a Bloodbound army together after the AoS starter box. The Start Collecting box will take you to 1000 with a couple of bits leftover.

Arkiham Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 sorry, that second number is the total points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolden Spoons Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 List looks like a good start, I'd be tempted to find room for a slaughter priest though. Not keen on just ten blood Reavers as I'm not sure they accomplish much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADPolo Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 I think I'll go with that list for now. I have the Slaughter Priest from the latest WD, so I'll play around with him as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avindskjold Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 This is just a suggestion if anyone else is in the same boat: this list totals 1k and is put together from the contents of the starter set and the Start Collecting! box, plus an Aspiring Deathbringer model. Very easy to collect! Leaders: Mighty Lord of Khorne - 140 pts. Aspiring Deathbringer - 80 pts. Bloodsecrator - 120 pts. Bloodstoker - 80 pts. Battleline: Blood Warriors (10) - 200 pts. Blood Warriors (5) - 100 pts. Bloodreavers (20) - 120 pts. Mighty Skullcrushers (3) - 160 pts. Total: 1,000 pts. Might not be the most competitive list at 1k, but it ensures no mini from those sets goes to waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolden Spoons Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Oh, still missed out slaughter priest. Obviously Mighty Lord of Khorne is good magic defence too but priest help you crack open a good defence line. Plus, not many other options for ranged mortal wounds.

He's 100 points, so I guess it'd come down to him or the Mighty Lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspirant Snaeper Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I would ask if it was acceptable to run a list 20 points over and fit him in over the Aspiring Deathbringer. The Warriors form an excellent core to the force. The five man unit I got from the starter box has proven to be a resilient bunch and I can imagine more would only increase your army's staying power.

Herald of Chaos Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I have run the starting force from the AoS starter box plus the bloodbound start collecting box to bring everything up to 1000 points, leaving a few bloodwarriors on the sidelines. I found it performed well and was nicely balanced. That said there are other ways to go if you want to bring the filth, but for the addition of one easy box, I think it is a good way to go, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolden Spoons Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I'm not sure Bloodbound are actually capable of filth. Very solid and can generate tons of attacks but nothing screams take thirty units of me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aspirant Snaeper Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I almost made a Bonesplitterz list and might just still, if only to give my gamer-group and I some insight on how to defeat it. This was the list: Orruks 10 1XX Orruks 10 1XX Savage Big Boss 1 1XX General Kunnin' Rukk --- XX Battalion Arrowboys 20 2XX Arrowboys 40 4XX Total: 960/1000. The 40-boy unit of Bonesplitterz puts out 120 shots a turn, two times a turn (once in the hero phase and once in the shooting phase) and can still move 5" as well. On top of this, I was going to give the Big Boss the 'Bellowing Tyrant' GA:Destruction command trait to let that unit hit on a 4+ as well. So that's 240 shots hitting on 4+/4+/(-1 against Monsters)/1 a turn. The 20 Arrowboy unit would hit on 5's and only shoot once, but as long as they're at full strength, they're still pumping out 60 additional shots as well. The general consensus is that you should use terrain to your advantage to block line of sight, character-snipe the hero's if you can (killing the Big Boss reduces their hit rolls and removes their hero-phase shooting/moving/etc) and generally make sure only your tankiest units are in range/line of sight of them. Valkia is handy in this instance with her movement and flying to boot, have her charge in and Slaupnirify © the Big Boss so the threat level against the rest of your army gets reduced to zero.
