Centurio Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Because they are not spells and are not mentioned in the rule as being limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice will add it to the list! Though for Narrative play I'm almost always perfectly okay with any use of Battalion, even cross factions if your capable to represent something similar and it is logical enough for the Campaign.

My gut feeling still has me on the same page however and that is that GW avoids including all the Mortal units with possible Khorne mark because I think that eventually they will get integraded into Everchosen (of Darkness) and basically become the 'Chaos Undivided' sub-faction for the Chaos Grand Allegiance.

Orin Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Build Skullreapers. They're a better unit all around for 40 pts less. with a 3a3h3w and always re-roll hits of 1! If you like the look of Wrathmongers do what I do, Take there helmet and put them on the reapers. Looks great and functional.

Killax Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Skullreapers are a great choice! Though Monsters hate Wrathmongers I like the bunny helmets too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Grimwood Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I don't know Wrathmongers are an excellent unit. With the new Blood Blessings their durability can be improved which is their only issue game wise. Model wise however they are a nightmare those flails are swines for breaking in transit. I cut them all off a turned them into Skulreapers because they're so annoying even with their advantages.

I actually saw my unit of 5 skullreapers roflstomp a lord of change and a ironjaw megaboss in 2 combat phase. In the department "too god for the point cost" they are on skyfire/kurnoth hunter level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killax Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Great Battalion unfortunatly not incorporated into matched play. However! Keep in mind that self made up Battalions and effects can be awesome, get creative and certainly share ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of Ruin Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Since i got the chaos part of the aos starter kit, i have wanted to add khorne daemons and once they came out.. Bloodthirsters and skarbrand!! My question is which khorne mortal units work well alongside them and what are aome must have daemons? Ideally i get a good mix between bloodbound and daemons with blood warriors, bloodletters, bloodcrushers, bloodthirsters, a skull cannon or 2, slaughterpriest and an aspiring champion. Would that work? What to add? Is a bloodtthrone worth it? What about korgoraths and slaughterbrutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 @Knight of Ruin would you believe me if I'd say you that every choice is most certainly worth it? Leading to me being extremely happy with this book and this army as an allround Khorne fan. Since the Artefacts and Command Traits all Bloodthirsters have become relevant, you could even argue that for their points they can currently compete for high competative lists with Skardbrand. We have a ton of synergy within the faction, a lot of choices simply work with Khorne units, this includes Mortals, Daemons and Bloodbound So again go with what you like the most in terms of looks. If you want to go for a good mix your list will grand it to you. Slaughterpriest and Aspiring Deathbringers have become excellent supportive Heroes while the Bloodthirsters, named characters and Lords of Khorne are fantastic choices for the hardcore melee chopping. Practically anything can work, add what you like, the Bloodthrone in general is one of the less popular choices, but don't let that stop you. Magnetizing those Skull Cannons will allow you to run either. Khorgoraths are more than excellent. Slaughterbrutes of Khorne are nice but for competative approaches I'd pick 2 Khorgoraths over 1 Slaughterbrute. Having fun is what it's all about!

Evilmonstar Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Has anyone tried just spamming Khorgoraths yet? I've been building lists with between 6 and 10 of them and they all look just crazy fun. I haven't really had a chance to try it in a real game yet though. Anyone else given this a go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you got them, go for it! From my perspective our massed infantry units are generally a better choice due to how well we can amp up the attacks, speed and other culumative bonuses for them. I only have two Khorgorath so cannot speak for what they might do with something like Skaarac. What I do know is that most of our synergy doesn't focus on Monster untis we own. One of the biggest advantages MSU + Khorgorath do bring is Crimson Rain (4 B T points) making them a true tarpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurio Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Is this a legal 2000 point matched play army? I am confused by the Goretide saying it MAY contain 3-7 of certain warscroll battalions... when any additional units or warscroll battalion can be taken... 2000 points Goretide The Goretide must contain the following: -The Goretide Mighty Lord of Khorne -Slaughterborn Battalion Exalted Deathbringer 10 Blood Warriors 5 Skullreapers 5 Skullreapers The Goretide may also contain the following: 0-1 Gorechosen Battalion - NONE 3-7 warscroll battalions chosen in any combination from the following <snip> - NONE Any number of additional KHORNE BLOODBOUND units or warscroll battalions. 2 warscroll battalions: -Gore Pilgrims 3 Slaughterpriests Bloodsecrator 10 Blood Warriors 10 Bloodreavers -Brass Stampede 3 Mighty Skullcrushers 3 Mighty Skullcrushers 3 Mighty Skullcrushers Total Points: 1970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aspirant Snaeper Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 47 minutes ago, Centurio said: Is this a legal Goretide list? No. First, in order to take the Goretide, you *need* to have three units of Blood Warriors in the Slaughterborn battalion, so you need at least 15 broken up into units of 5. Next, as for the "Any Additional Khorne Bloodbound Battalions" part, I believe refers to any Battalions *not* listed there, or if you already have the maximum 7 Battalions listed by name, you can go over that with additional Battalions (Ex: Hey, if you wanna run 10 Gore Pilgrims, go right ahead!).

Centurio Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Ah I messed up the 3 units of blood warriors, that was an oversight. The second part of your answer is what I was wondering about, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspirant Snaeper Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Essentially, focus your list on the Goretide and Slaughterborn elements, and then use the "Any additional Khorne units" bit to fill out your list. I'm wondering if the Goretide makes non-pointed Khorne Bloodbound Battalion's legal... I mean, they are Battalions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
