Killax Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 So that idea, shall I just convert my Harry the Hammer into a Mighty Lord of Khorne? https://cdn.wallapop.com/shnm-portlet/images?pictureId=124781469&pictureSize=W320[/img] I bought the second starter a while ago second hand and the stuff is a bit squished and mauled. Still unpainted but I thought maby just cut up this model, use Harry with a Fleshhound and call it a day. I will certainly add a Khorne shield however, as I think he wouldn't fit the Khorne look all to well otherwise. Thanks for your input in advance guys!

Centurio Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I managed to get my copy of AoS Skirmish today. I'm going to play a game at 50 reknown on Tuesday. I'm thinking of trying this: Exalted Deathbringer with impaling spear Wrathmonger (wrathmaster) Wrathmonger 20 Bloodreavers So what do you think of this warband, and does anyone else have ideas for skirmish warbands?

misthv Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Trying to find digital copy of Skirmish book but can't find it in app :-( Can someone provide photos of all Chaos factions and SC? We're going to start playing any time now!m and I need to build my warband :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 @Centurio looks cool to me! I'd personally mix up the models some more but I understand the idea behind Bloodreavers really well. I dont think there is a digital copy of the Skirmish book yet, might eventually come, but not too soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurio Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Part of the reason for using the 20 Bloodreavers is that I need to get them painted! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireymonkeyboy Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Given that models activate independently, if you took 20 Bloodreavers, your opponent would be entirely in order to take a half brick in a sock Been thinking about possible campaign starts (25 renown). The Slaughterpriest's native abilities seem pretty useful, but you're practically limited to Bloodreavers for the rest of your starting warband, and the 5+ save has me nervous. Skullgrinder's damage output is interesting, and the cheaper aspiring champ as well (though the 7 Bravery is sketchy). FMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xasz Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Why is there a renown difference between the two Aspiring Deathbringers? Seems odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Have to say, AoS is allready skirmish enough for me Play Malifaux and Mordheim aswell so I don't think AoS Skirmish will quickly follow (I happen to like Malifaux a lot, has tons and tons of depth). On another note, it's officially revealed guys! The wonderful Khornate Dragon with lord. Here are some of the older shots aswell: I think it's an amazing centerpiece for AoS Khorne fans. If I ever happen to have a ton of money left for such a project I'd consider getting it as a display piece. If someone will get it, please let me know. I'd follow that process with a lot of interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk Havnt tested it yet, do know that everything works with Murderhost, can't imagne Bloodforged not working well with it. Especially because Wrathmongers are an excellent support unit and Bloodreavers can quite easily deal with oppossing infantry but Monsters can become an issue if you arn't completely able to swarm it down, due to terrain, board control or other reasons. Check this out: Quote Battalion: Murderhost; Bloodforged Mighty Lord of Khorne Valkia the Bloody Bloodsecrator Bloodsecrator Skullmaster 30 Bloodletters 30 Bloodletters 5 Fleshhounds 10 Blood Warriors 5 Wrathmongers 5 Wrathmongers Add Artefacts to your liking really, The Crimson Crown is good, Mark of the Slayer becomes good for such an army aswell. Violent Urgency and/or Talisman of Burning Blood speeds it all up a little. In general three Artefacts to choose from will give you a nice competative edge for two Battalions who are rather cheap. The real question becomes how much you like Wrathmongers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played two games yesterday, with Khorne. Battleshock will kill you in this game format. So skip the blood reavers, if your opponent has ranged he will shot down as many blood reavers as he can and force you to take a batlleshock. I would say go for blood warriors!

FMB My slaughterpriest did great, I chose the "heal D3 wounds" and it saved my wrathmongers more than enough. His D6 mortal wound shot is amazing as well. Just be sure to keep him safe from snipers.

Centurio Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I had since decided to drop 12 of the reavers and use 3 blood warriors and 8 blood reavers. Given what you said, I may go with 5 blood warriors though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Yeah for Skirmish the bigger the badder! Bloodletters are significantly better as Bloodreavers for this format. Likewise Blood Warriors and Skullreapers would be my elite picks. As for heroes, I think I'd say Slaughterpriest, so much utility is great at this level. Aspiring Deathbringer is a great alternative aswell. I guess named characters are not an option? Because Skulltaker or Valkia would be sick.

Jharen Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I agree, Slaughterpriest is still a good choice for Skirmish I think, more so the Hack-blade and Wrathhammer one due to his number of attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that is considered an allegance ability? I though Blood Tithe was the allegiance ability, not the Prayers? But I assume I must have missed the line that states something about only using whatever is on each individual warscroll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you will see the Allegiance Abilities section as it list each section of abilities.

Fireymonkeyboy Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I would think the "come hither" ability would be super useful as well. FMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly! Many AoS games dont care too much about this but AoS skirmish duals do. Same applies for Gore-slick Blades, Enscrolled Axes and Id also feel very comfortable with a Khorgorath.

Jharen Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Khorgoraths appear to me to be just an amazing choice in Skirmish. They have loads of attacks in melee with rend and 2 damage which makes them good at killing heroes, then you have ranged attacks too for picking off weaker models. You have a self heal ability and the ability to lower their generals bravery if within range too. Khorgoraths are just truly terrifying beasts in Skirmish.

Killax Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Yep yep yep, I like Skirmish. Though have to say Bloodbound isnt completely designed for this a game in between will feel great. Cant wait to use Shadespire models for this aswell. This just might be the best exuse to go heavier into some conversions aswell Small BoK orientated review: - Bloodletters are solid, low in attacks but cheap too and potential Mortal wound offcourse; cool at 2. - Bloodmaster is an optional choice at 16, but not my pick. Miss the Skullmaster - Blood Throne at 24 can be fun. - Bloodcrusher at 11 is cool. - Blood warrior at 4 is super. - Bloodreavers are a nice filler, not my backbone pick. - Aspiring Deathbringer at 16 is solid. - Aspiring Deathbringer with 2 handweapons is 20 but logically slightly more expensive. Great buff fellow. - Exalted Deathbringers at the same cost seem logical but without general not that exciting. - Mighty Lord costs as much as a house - Skullgrinder cool at that double 8 cost but low on attacks is risky here. - Slaughterpriests are excellent, seem worth the 20. - Skullcrusher at 9 is sickly good - Skullreaper and Wrathmonger at 7 is excellent in cost distribution. Wrathmonger duos can be great. - Khorgorath is a real tank at 16. I think the real winners here are Skullcrushers and Khorgoraths. Good saves, heavy damage output, allround awesome models. Again I don't get why the Bloodcrusher ended up more expensive as a Skullcrusher... What am I missing there? Battleshock effects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jharen Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Fun little fluffy list I may try running in Skirmish at 50 pts. Bloodstoker Khorgorath 9x Chaos Warhounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATS Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 In a cavalry heavy khorne list, should i take 40 bloodreavers or 15 blood warriors, their main point would be to just tie up enemy units while my skullcrushers and varanguard flank. Im running a unit of varanguard with the mounted archaon, and lord of khorne on juggernaut with 3 units of skullcrushers, forming up a brass stampede formation. Ill also field the aspiring deathbringer and a bloodsecrator, archaon´s command ability lets me trigger all the other hero´s command abilities.
