If you are going to use him as your general he is a support hero that should not be in combat, in that case I would put the wyrmspear on him. And if he is not the general but more of a "throw way" hero with high movement to run forward and bleed magma on the enemy when he dies I would still put the wyrmspear on him but I guess it is more debatable.

RaritanAnon Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Is this a pretty good 1000pt list? I wanted a little bit of everything the list had to offer. It's shy 60pts though. Dunno what to do about it.

Erdemo86 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Hey guys, i have a question. Why Are so many People Playing the runefather on foot as General? Can someone explain why his command ability is good? What can i do with extra that Pile in Of 5"?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His "ward save" abillity makes him as durable as a hero on a magma plus that he can get cover and he is easier to hide. The most important thing for your general is not to die everything else comes secondary. That is because of the immune to battleshock aura. And if you have him hiding in your deployment zone your units will be very stretched out to benefit from the battleshock aura. The enemy can use this to make few models be able to pile in. One thing that could help you with this problem is to have a longer pile in and that happens to be his other abillity. And he only cost 80pt.

Veterannoob Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 The Runepappy on foot is OK but don't forget the Runeson on foot as a general when you face armies with higher wound models as most or all of the army. Like much Chaos, Beastclaws, Ironjaws, some Stormcasts so you can have the buff and a swiftly moving army. Been away from forums for a while but glad to see Fyreslayers discussions still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Here you have the "net-list" formula IMO but a lot of other lists are playable. 1 Runefather or Runeson on magma as general 1 Battlesmith 2 x Runesmiters 0-1 Runesmiter on magma 2-3 x 30 Vulkites 0-1 x 30 Aurics (probably 1, these list seems to have most success right now) 0-1 x 10 Hearthguard beserkers (1 if 2 units of vulkites and runefather as general) 0-1 Kinband (1 if runeson on magma is your general and you have 3 units of vulkites) Plus some allied stuff to fill out the points (for example skywardens are popular) Example list from the UK masters: Runesfather Battlesmith 2 x Runesmiters 3 x 30 Vulkites 30 Aurics 2 x 3 Skywardens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erdemo86 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hey guys,i have question. How do you deliver the hearthguard berzerkers? Do you tunnel them with a runesmiter? Because i think its hard to get that 9“ charge. Vulkits can reroll 1 dice so its easier to get that charge but i wonder how to do it with hearthguards?

Fyrslayers are stong in general, build a random list and it will be ok. But if you look at the tournament results in the UK tournament scene, the top placed tournament lists have had 30 aurics and 0 berserkers. But could be that berserkers are better but havn't been tried out as much on that scene yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that you tunnel Vulkites and Aurics but HB starts on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnie25 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Fyreslayer players, would you think a single Runeson on Magmadroth would be useful to have as an allied beatstick for a Stormcast Eternal list? I am thinking of getting a Getting Started box. How well does it function as a stand alone beatstick. Its function would mainly be to act as a nuisance and dish out some mortal wounds as that is what my list is lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord-Of-Scotland Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 they can be good with all the different ways for doing damage in different phases but you really have to watch them getting swarmed with 12 wounds and 4 up save. but used well they do damage. I was playing nurgle and I put a rune son and a rune farther both on magma in to a squad of 6 bees they dealt with them then went in on 2x10 squads of plaguebearers and survived. that was most of his army at 1,500 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of SCE players use 30 Berserkers as allies, so buying the getting started box might be a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord-Of-Scotland Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 The start collecting box is a great deal, also get one of the best units a runesmiter. the 30 man block of vulkites is really hard to kill with there beserker fur with picks and Sheilds potentially mortal wounds on the charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FractalRain Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Okay, my LGS is have a Getting Started Box tourney for fun - no real prizes - to coincide with the Malign Portents painting etc. So, I have a Fyreslayer box set with Runesone on magma, Runefather on foot, Runesmiter, and 10 vulkites with slingshields and picks. I have never played Fyreslayers and just got some to ally with my Kharadron, but I do have the GH2017 and the Battletome. Any ideas/strategies for playing with just what is in the Getting Started Box? Thanks for any advice you can provide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use Runeson on magma as general with maybe blood of the berzerker and maybe meteoric axe or ash plum sigil. Go second if possible, use the rend rune (or movement rune if you need to), put reroll wounds on the magma, go forward with everything, shoot and try to charge everything against the hardest thing in the opponents army and hope for the best. Remember to use 3 dice when you charge (and discard one) and pile in twice with the magma. If you manage to put enough damage into his best unit/hero you will probably win.

Darren2607 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I'm considering allying in a couple of gyro bombers into my 2k list for a bit more movement. I've got about 180 points to play with. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turragor Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Some Fyrelsayer changes (bladed slingshield nerf) in FAQ https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/age_of_sigmar_order_en-1.pdf /edit/ wait...the wording could almost be a buff in some cases? Long chain of vulkites can bubble a target they didn't charge and aren't within a 1/2" of. Models just got to be within 8" of a target you pick. No other restrictions?
