  1. Been toying with this list concept. Won't be able to field test it for a week or so. Tell me what you think. Tempest's Eye Knight-Azyros -General -Hawk-Eyed -Patrician's Helm Aether-Khemist -Adjunctant Celestial Hurricanum with Battlemage 1x30 Longbeards 1x10 Longbeards 1x40 Arkanauts 1x30 Sisters of the Watch Gyrobomber Extra CP The idea is to form a mobile firebase, using the command ability to give the Arkanauts and Sisters run and shoot first turn. Arkanauts target heroes, Sisters target blobs or elites. Longbeards take the counterpunch.
  2. Anyone know the exact wording of the "1 in 4" rule? There is currently some debate in my group whether a Tempest's Eye army could take two units of Handgunners, a unit of Liberators, and a unit of Arkanauts for example and have it be legal.
  3. Well ****** on a stick. I JUST started converting a bunch of Dispossessed Warriors for a Cities army, and now it looks like they're being Squatted.
  4. The Iron Sky Squadron warscroll battalion consists of 2-9 Arkanaut Companies and 2-9 Frigates. The Arkanauts and Frigates are all part of the same battalion, so they can be dropped at the same time if desired. Due to transport rules, you can opt to deploy units inside the frigates. These also count as one drop. So if I were going to do a one-drop (again, space out your drops if possible while still guaranteeing 1st turn initiative), it would usually go like this. Declare deployment of the Iron Sky Squadron. Frigate 1 carries Company 1, Khemist, Navigator Frigate 2 carries Company 2, Brokk, Endrinriggers (Brokk and Endrinriggers also do not count against transport capacity due to Hitchers rule) Company 3 deployed for maximum effect, either to claim an objective or maneuver into sniping position. Because the three units physically on the board at the start of turn 1 are all part of the battalion, this can be done as a single drop.
  5. Oh undoubtedly. Was probably the most strategically intense games I played at the tournament. Like I said, I feel I mostly got lucky, and felt like dogshit when I saw how disappointed he was.
  6. That's what the formation is for - to allow me to control opening initiative. I'm pretty sure I took top of 1 every time, though I fought a lot of fast armies. If I could deploy in such a way as to keep my assets out of the enemy threat radius, I would give them top of 1 in a bid to gain a double turn.
  7. I would like to note, I was 20th before paint scores were factored in. *superior sniff*
  8. Looking forward to the NOVA Open this month, it's really hard to not be super depressed at my chances. I never expected to win the thing, but I really feel like I don't even have a chance to be in the top 50.
  9. The list Watcher posted is accurate. I took the Verdant Mantle on my Navigator; though I was sorely missing my Earbuster Khemist, I feel the ability to remove Palisade is just too vital for our army as it stands. Took 12 Endrinriggers with 3 Grapnels. And yeah. Realm of Shadow basically gives you the ability to pull off a Clown Car without the restrictions on Clown Car. I played in Ulgu twice, both times the opponent conceded after the top of 1. I also played one game in Shyish against a Nurgle list, was far more close but I ended up taking the mission 18-8.
  10. Battlegrounds in Midlothian? I was the Mhornar!
  11. KO are dead competitively, and this makes me sad because the NOVA Open tickets I bought are non-refundable and now I don't have time to get another army ready. If I drank, I would be drunk right now.
  12. Chuck, followup question. There is currently some debate (it boils down to RAW v RAI and some keyword weirdness) whether or not the Harbingers (Lord Ordinator, Fungoid Shaman, etc) released with Malign Portents can be used in any army (so long as they share a Grand Alliance) as General without the army losing allegiance abilities. For instance, a Kharadron Overlords army using Barak-Nar rules but having a Lord Ordinator as general. There is also confusion as to whether this would use reinforcement points. Will NOVA be clarifying this for the purposes of the GT, or relying on GW to fix it? Edit: I'm aware this was addressed in the FAQ, but that actually didn't do much to clear up the RAW vs RAI confusion.
  13. Hey there, Chuck. I think this is Chuck. Two questions. 1) Obviously you can't give me any exacts, but do you know roughly when we can expect to see the scenarios for this year's tournament? 2) I know Games Workshop's community team will be in attendance this year covering the 40k GT. Will the AoS GT also be getting any streaming coverage this year? My team and I look forward to seeing you in September.
