hakoMike Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Here's what I am planning at this point. It gives me the basics with room to substitute artillery (2x spear @120, 2x rock @100) if I feel like I need some ranged presence.

Vasshpit Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I'm in as well. I've started on a Liberator / Judicators heavy Stormcast list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayniac Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 What I'm planning is, if I can get my group to ignore 1020 points (and take a Triumph roll or something): LeadersHarbinger of Decay (140)- General- Trait: Great Destroyer- Artefact: Chaos RunebladeHerald Of Nurgle (100)UnitsPutrid Blightkings x 5 (180)Chaos Warriors x 10 (180)- Halberd & ShieldPlaguebearers Of Nurgle x 20 (200)Plague Drones Of Nurgle x 3 (220)Total: 1020/1000 If not, then I'll drop the Herald and take a unit of 3 Nurglings instead to be 1000 points even. My army concept is an oldschool-esque Chaos Warband that mixes various evil creatures under the banner of a charismatic (or terrifying in my case) champion; in theory at higher points levels I'd look at adding some Skaven and/or Beastmen if I can find the synergies.

There's always the option to drop 1/2 the plaguebearers and add the nurglings for an even 1k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are an afterthought in AoS. A slapped on additional way to play. Believing they are the be-all, end-all is totally gonna lead to disappointment. 2) It's not a "problem" to fix. It's just a system not matching your expectations. Like I said, it's causing me to have to build a different list for my armies, too, but so what? If I want to play with all my desired toys, I will simply select a mode of play that allows that, not expect the system to change to accommodate me.

Requizen Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I'm thinking of doing 1000 of either Death or Seraphon, but with how much I've spent on hobby, the wife will probably only allow it past March or so. Which is probably ok, my Stormcast are still not done yet >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We as a community just kept asking for points, we got it and now we feel it limits us.

Darth Alec Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 Yo guys, chill! The 1k is a guideline. if your dream list is 1100 points, build 1100 points. If you want to build a tournament-ready army, stay under 1000. I certainly won't begrudge anyone for going over by a smidgeon. It's great to see so many people getting on board. This is going to be really cool. I hope everyone gets the stuff they need for christmas. Also, if you're in twitter, consider using #1karmy when posting pics. That way we can easily keep track of each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikester1487 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Ooo this sounds like a lot of fun. Gonna bookmark this for after adepticon and pick an army. Maybe those steam dwarves or tzeentch arcanites will be out by then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in once had the annoying experience that they did come round with a delivery, as I wasn't home delivered it to the alternative pick up spot. But they either forgot to leave a note or the not got lost. But 2 weeks and a couple of calls later I discovered it had been waiting at the neighborhood store around the corner ? So my brother got the same book twice as a present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Those of you wanting Arcanites are in luck. The latest GW preview suggests an early '17 release.

I am presently painting 2 different 40k armies for a league... and working on my 2k snowman army for KoW...and my DeepWars Kickstarter should be arriving any day now... and I'm moderately certain the wife picked me up a new gang for BMG... but what the hell?

JontyGoesGaming Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I'm a big fan of 1k armies- mainly because I've got chronic Hobbywobbleitis and am constantly distracted by new ideas for hobby projects. I'm also far too easily lulled into ebay purchases.. I also think they tend to be just that much better for narrative gaming, especially when you start including Time of War rules, which I absolutely love. As a result I've got a stack of things I've bought off Ebay the last two years which I really want to paint, and field in some sort of way, but don't want to go to the effort and expense of turning into 2k 'tournament' armies. A quick rummage in the loft/project box turns up the following. The Skull pass night goblins, and a couple of trolls. A bunch of random Elves, which I planned to 'mix in' to my existing High Elf army to play some End Times Khaine scenarios (and never did). Some Dark Elf corsairs, bleakswords and drakespawn knights A half finished Orion conversion and a few glade guard. So here goes. Points purely included because I'm cutting and pasting from Scrollbuilder - I'm that lazy. The White Fang Tribe Moonclan Grot Shaman (60)Skarsnik, Warlord Of The Eight Peaks (100)Moonclan Grots x 20 (120)Moonclan Grots x 20 (120)Moonclan Grots x 20 (120)Grot Fanatics x 3 (90)Sourbreath Troggoths x 3 (200)Grot Spider Riders x 10 (200) Rackspar's Reavers Assassin (80)Sorceress (80)Black Ark Fleetmaster (40)Bleakswords x 10 (100)Drakespawn Knights x 5 (160)Black Ark Corsairs x 10 (100)- Repeater Handbow & Vicious BladeBloodwrack Medusae x 1 (120)Kharibdyss (200) The Wild Hunt Orion, King in the Woods (380)Spellweaver (100)- Heartwood StaffWayfinder (100)Glade Guard x 10 (120)Hunting Hounds x 5 (100)Eternal Guard x 10 (80)Great Eagles x 1 (60)Great Eagles x 1 (60) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 For my Host list I'm thinking: Daemonettes (10) x2 240 Seekers (10) x1 240 Herald on Exalted Seeker x1 160 Keeper of Secrets x1 280 Spare points to make the Keeper exalted. I only need two models then. Will have the Daemonettes and Seekers come Christmas. Smaller list with enough variety to be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craptrain Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Alright, this is my tentative 1k list (am I a cheater because it's only 8 models?) Tamurkhan the Maggot Lord (500) Plague Ogres (160) Plague Ogres (160) Gigantic Chaos Spawn (180) Tamurkhan is already on the way. If someone has painted him before, I would LOVE some insight as my painting skills are maybe a B- if I'm being generous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
