TrexPushups Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 What I really hope they add in the new Battletome is summoning. For example: You plant Portal of Skulls with the Bloodsecrator and summon a unit of Bloodletters or a BloodThirster, with no need for a Chaos Sorcerer. Could end up being a slaughterpriest prayer thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart phone rings off and a friend links me a picture of the new book. Wallet quickly retracts into jeans, I shall stall my thrist for a few weeks! Wondering how good combos between demons and mortals will be. As well as if we see any points adjustments. Further, the new AoS starter box.. does it have the characters from the first one? What will people use as their source for the Kill-Banner? I Just ordered some Bloodletters! I wouldn't wait on the new Starter Set, it apparently drops the Mighty Lord of Khorne and the Bloodsecrator, buy the old set asap. On the Stormcast side it Drops the Lord Celestant on Dracoth. They will most probably start selling them separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galas Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Wheeee! Now they only need to sell the Bloodsecrator separate from the Starter Set! And personally I don't think that they will stop selling the old starter set (But I can be totally wrong). The new Thunder and Blood its more like a boardgame. And yes, summoning demons if you kill enemies its the way of Khorne! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaleb Daark Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 = I'd love to see plastic flesh hounds especially if the lord of khorne's one is anything to go by. My khorne army has turned into a human tidal wave of bodies at the moment with the mammoth, a warshrine, 40 chaos warriors, and eighty marauder/bloodreavers and all the other hero's. I need to get some skull reapers as well as I have lots of khorgoraths to take advantage of skulltake as well. not sure whether to keep them separate as distinctly pre-aos and post AoS armies. With the chaos dwarfs it's got a distinctly Tamurkhan grand alliance feel to it... which reminds me, must buy some bloodletters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspirant Snaeper Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 If this new Battletome does little to help Khorne against fast or shooty armies, I will be dismayed. What I also fear is the loss of synergy we had with Slaves of Darkness units. I sense that it will become an either/or scenario. Not sure how well Slaves work with DoT so I'm not sure if theres precedence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuneBrush Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this resolves a number of the gaps we currently have - so vulnerability to shooting/lack of return fire, no option to summon etc. We're certainly getting more prayers (glad I have two Slaughterpriests now!). Holding off on fully planning my 2k for Bristol Smash now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowlzee Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 A couple of things that would help fix our shortcomings. Skullcannons D3 attacksSkullcrushers/Bloodcrushers roll D6 for each model for murderous charge. Skullreapers normal weapons rend -1, specials extra damage or rend -2Khorgoraths 60 points Just A small number of changes to make things viable again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie Grimwood Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Dark feast to add cumulative bonus to give Reavers consistent bite (not OP given their lack of resilience). Battalions or command abilities that decease the effects of shooting. More prayers, possibly make the big axe carrying Slaughter priest a more powerful version.

TJ@DFG Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Bloodsecrator summoning with portal: 1000 times this! I was just thinking that the bloodsecrator should have that ability and so should slaughterpriests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolden Spoons Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Exciting times ahead regardless. Even if just khorne commands, prayers and artifacts. Maybe super formations too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocke2 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 no new models, but thats ok. Khorne has some nice models right now. been wanting new prayers for the priest forever, and would be great if he could summon with prayers.....summoning that a wizard can't unbind! hoping for some nice new formations and hopefully new battleplans.
