Kaleb Daark Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 reproduced from War of Sigmar: -Lot of illustration -Bunch of fluff and story -Regroup Bloodbound, mortal and Daemons army. -Blood tithe system for Khorne only army ! (you get point by killing or be killed and you can use them for extra punch/threat range/heal/reinforcement). -Extra Prayer for Khorne Priest. -Bunch of Warscroll battalion for Mortal and Daemon - 4 new type of chapter like battalion (see the image down there) -There is a 3-8 Bloodthirster only Formation ^^ (Council of blood, my new life goal !) -Daemonic gifts (weapon and adornments) -Extra banner option for "Totem" -Artefacts of power for mortal, Trophies for Bloodbound. -18 command traits (6 for Bloodbound, 6 mortal, 6 daemon). -Bloodreaver got a save now 6+ but cost 1 more point. -Heavy metal section. What i miss/dislike : - A Beastmen of Khorne section :'( - Old mortal Warscroll (but it's on the App anyway) - The big battalion are a bit too big to use them. The Stormcast Chamber battalion were more reasonable Conclusion : The book is very fun to read with loads of great idea ! My khorne motivation is at 100% now !! It's not a quick money grab and it's very nice they took their time to update Stormcast and Khorne battletome. If you are a khorne player it's a solid buy.

TrexPushups Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I just realized how amazing murderlust is. I can charge in my opponents hero phase! Take that shooting armies! Extra amazing if you managed to clear off an enemy unit standing between you and a juicy hero now you can capitalize on that even if you can't get a double turn.

This lets you follow up a charge from last turn or tie up a unit that they want to charge with. It is delicious.

****** Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Tithe 5: #tripleturned or #grotunblocked Can prayers stack? +1 to hit on bloodletter/skull reapers could be interesting Murderlust with some whipping could get you moving crazy distances There's going to be a lot more disposable 10 sized units of reavers knocking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkiham Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 I'm really curious to know what this totem thing is. If it's the ability to allow us to pick a totem ability the warshrine is awesome as it's a priest totem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr0 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Liking what we're seeing so far, the BT rules are mostly good pretty situational but that's okay. Meteor seems a little underwhelming for the amount of BT required, but I like the rest. Without seeing the actual scroll, looks like the Slaughterpriest lost the d6 sniping and Lash abilities, but we gained quite a bit of utility so I'm happy to have two of them to try out. Huge fan of the old Chaos art, some of this is reminiscent of that and it comes with tokens and the warscrolls I was hoping it did! (Hopefully not as fineprint as the Stormcasts were, but I don't care). Really pumped for this book, sucks I'm leaving the country the day before it's released but the good news is that I've preordered and it will be waiting for me a two weeks later.

Killax Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 From what we've seen so far I really like the small bonusses added. Don't know if the Bloodreaver change was the right call, as it really just steers you more away from them as needed and as I believe GW intended... However if there are more bonusses for them to be found than the minor cost increase is no issue. So far I'm looking really forward to see the complete book in all it's glory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the ability to allow us to pick a totem ability the warshrine is awesome as it's a priest totem brilliant, so the shrine gets to keep all its existing stuff and on top of that, picks a blessing from the choices offered. so keeping a handful of marauders near the shrine and they can be sacrificed to feed the tithe.

Kaleb Daark Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 right, so just checked the GW site and the Khorne Bloodbound faction is no longer showing under grand alliance chaos. However, I typed in Khorne in the search box and I got this: Slaughterpriest Host This bundle is a great way to bolster a chaotic Bloodbound army, and gets you a Slaughterpriest and four sets of Bloodreavers - in total, eighty-one miniatures, huge numbers of weapons, all sorts of awesome customisation! Red Headsman This bundle gives you everything you need to build the Red Headsmen Warscroll Battalion, as found in Battletome Khorne Bloodbound. One Aspiring Deathbringer, one Skullgrinder and three units of Blood Warriors - thirty-two angry miniatures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galas Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Did those bundles give any discount? Or just discount you the clicks of picking those miniatures in the web? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkiham Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 I'm massively hyped about the potential of the Warshrine. This is why. It's twice the cost of the normal slaughterpriest, but for that you gain +1 to it's save, and a 6+ ward, this 6+ ward is a 18" bubble, it moves faster than normal priests and hits harder, on a 3+ it grants a unit rerolls to hit, it doesnt count as either a hero or monster, yet acts like both. It's a big model, & provides a strong aoe affect, therefore draws ere from the enemy, it triggers the bloodreavers and can walk up with them and fight unlike the bloodsecrator who often ends up out of their range. It now gains a free prayer, and hopefully a totem affect to pick from & is surprising in combat. The downsides. One model not two, so 2 prayers not 4. That's not too much the, one also allows unlimited unbinds, which doesnt always pay off to take that's about it. unless you get your priests into combat they can struggle to get a prayer off. I feel the models abilities outweigh this loss, boosting the bloodreaers and giving them and additional save. As well as any other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callimaco Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 A little help: When I decided to start building an AoS army, I settled on Khorne Chaos and started with some older WHFB stuff I had around begining with a box of Chaos Warriors. I put the project on hold with the talk of a new Khorne book. Did I paint up a unit that I won't be able to use with the new book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
