Bloodletters I think - defo a solid part of a Khorne Army. Help you on your way to a blob of 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Bloodletters in sets of 30 remain amazing so far. However they are full of mold lines these days. Still... I'd go for the Bloodletters unless you have plans for Marauders. Basically to headswap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I use plastic Frostgrave Barbarians for Marauders. Cheap as hell and they look fantastic. Very Norse, and slightly smaller than my Reavers, who are supposed to be embiggened with the power of Khorne, so that works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is because they come from a completly different company (tomahawk studio of somethin'?) with a different universe (still fantaisie but in the snow). They mostly have a viking look which match more or less the one of the marauders (less barbarian, more bearded guys, think the wildlings of Games Of Thrones). okayish quality, monopause and a tiny little bit smaller. Cheaper yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medivouk Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I'm playing about with an army list at 2k. Mostly for fun games at my local club. C and c welcome Allegiance: Khorne Bloodsecrator (120) Bloodstoker (80) Aspiring Deathbringer (80) - General - Bloodaxe and Wrath Hammer - Trait: Slaughterborn - Artefact: The Brazen Rune Skullgrinder (80) Daemon Prince of Khorne (160) - Artefact: The Crimson Crown 10 x Blood Warriors (200) - Goreaxe & Gorefist 30 x Bloodletters (270) 10 x Blood Warriors (200) - Goreaxe & Gorefist 40 x Chaos Marauders (200) - Axes & Shields - Mark of Chaos: Khorne 5 x Wrathmongers (180) 5 x Wrathmongers (180) 5 x Flesh Hounds (100) Bloodforged (140) Total: 1990 / 2000 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 178 main plan is to wrap the wrathmongers and buff characters in the two big units, forming 2 combat blocks, and then letting the hounds and blood warriors hold/ get objectives or join the scrum as appropriate. I know murderhost and gore pilgrims are more meta, but bloodforged seems fun to build and play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not sure what o would change to get them in. I say give it a few battles and see what happens and then update the list based on how well it meets your playstyle.

MOMUS Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I'm waiting with baited breath to see what new dispel options we get. In the new magic teaser they mention khorne might get the short straw but it will be readdressed. Hoping this means new book and not just bolt on rules...

That would give you 2+ to hit and mortal wounding on 5+ For them As long as you have at least 20 of them on the table. The fleshhounds would be good ... but the priest opens up options for prayers.

gertat Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 So when we get to use more units command abilities in AoS 2,0, that opens up some alternative lists. What do you think of this aggressive list Allegiance: Khorne Leaders Karanak (100) - General Daemon Prince of Khorne (160) Daemon Prince of Khorne (160) Skaarac the Bloodborn (500) Bloodstoker (80) Bloodstoker (80) Battleline Units 5 x Flesh Hounds (100) 5 x Flesh Hounds (100) 5 x Flesh Hounds (100) 1 x Khorgoraths (80) 1 x Khorgoraths (80) 1 x Khorgoraths (80) 1 x Khorgoraths (80) 1 x Khorgoraths (80) 1 x Khorgoraths (80) Battalions Blood Hunt (130) Total: 1990 / 2000 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 125 You can move the the Flesh hounds forward in the herophase and the move+charge Stoke the 2 Daemon princes and move+run+charge and the rest follows and can run and charge Engage the enemy the first turn at multipel places. Bonus you get a lot of dispel from the Flesh hounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent of Chaos Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Fast and nasty! Probably not much point sending the hounds into melee though. I would use their speed for objectives while the Korgis and Princes wreck face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck I wouldn't be surprised if Bloodletters get a point increase. Its all the sweeping changes that really affect bok anyways like look out sir protecting support heroes and using fast units to tie up shooting.

Signs on the old starter sets are saying they will be removing the Blood and Thunder set, along with the standard Starter set. (They are also retiring the original “mighty Battles” book.)

Killax Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Well I think the article pretty much showed nothing new, except for the one piece of artwork, which is nice. Also gives the suggestion that even Khorne followers have some form of a community. I agree that Blades of Khorne is solid as is, in the end all that makes or breaks a faction though is Pitched Battle Profiles in Generals Handbook when we are talking about competitive approaches and usefullness. It isn't their core design that is broken... If anything I'd say a Bloodsecrator has become more in line with other Heroes due to his effect not being all to different from a Command Ability anyway. All I really hope is that we finally will see the Daemon + Bloodbound Keywords adressed. As before it still makes no sence that a Khorne Lord with a Fleshhound is just Mortal, or a Khorne Lord on a Juggernaut for that matter and yes same applies to Mighty Skullcrushers. But other than that, yeah the focus for this new edition will not start out with Khorne vs Stormcast. Doesn't really matter to me but it also means that it will thake a long time before Khorne will see another update. Slaanesh is first, so one spark of hope that remains is an eventual Khorne update in 40K's World Eaters which then (perhaps 2019) will bring forth a separate Khorgorath and plastic Fleshhounds. Still looking very forward to this Blood Brothers because melee combat focus is where it's at this new edition. This will please Khorne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep ... the keywords for the Lord Of Khorne on Juggernaut are different than the original Compendium version that was “Khorne Lord on Juggernaut” (but have identical stats/Abilities) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With both lore I mean the old Bloodbound Battletome and the Blades of Khorne Battletome. I don't really have any particular fear for this edition. There is one thing that can change too much to make BoK unviable though, which would be to either cap the Bloodsecrator further down or make it even more expensive... We will see what occurs. So while I like army list ideas under the new edition I really think it's way too early to think about that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOtherJosh Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Annoyingly enough (or not, depending on the point of view) this isn't an issue in DoT, HoS, or MoN. Either way, it should be consistent across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karol Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 For new players like me, does it mean it is going to be really hard to get enough models without the big starter? I don't have the whip guy and am not going to pay the scalper price people want for him. Strange write up, lots of pictures, and not much about the army changes. The 50pts command point seems interesting, I often end up with 150-200pts not spend on anything. I hope that GW won't nerf slaughter priests too much, and that gore pilgrims, something am aiming to play, won't get hit by the nerf bat either.
