  1. Right I get that point is the current contention. I wish GW answers this question. I feel that any reroll should disallow primal dice. It's not like the enrapturess will suddenly become taken, shes only a 5 wound 5+ hero who would get blasted immediately.
  2. I don't see this particular faq? What I want to know (and if i'm misunderstanding something here, please point it out) is if we cause a unit to reroll due to enrapturess, can that unit add primal dice? The one FAQ about ability triggers is about certain dice (doubles or a number is a 6) and not about forced rerolls. Thats the thing I want to clarify on.
  3. When Sigvald charge, he gains Fights First. When the keeper places Excess of Violence of him, he gains fights last. Because the rules say, then this happens, it cancels out and he fights normal. All pretty straight forward to me
  4. Faced off against khorne tonight. Allegiance: Slaanesh- Host: Pretenders- Grand Strategy: None Chosen- Triumphs:Keeper of Secrets (400)**- General- Shining Aegis- Command Trait: Strength of Goodhood- Artefact: The Crown of Dark Secrets- Universal Spell Lore: Flaming WeaponContorted Epitome (190)**- Artefact: Sceptre of Domination- Lore of the Magnificent: Born of Damnation- Aspect of the Champion: Fuelled by Ghurish RageLord of Pain (130)**11 x Blissbarb Archers (150)*11 x Blissbarb Archers (150)*11 x Blissbarb Archers (150)*10 x Slickblade Seekers (400)- Reinforced x 15 x Blissbarb Seekers (200)3 x Fiends (200)*Galletian Sharpshooters**WarlordArtefactTotal: 1970 / 2000Reinforced Units: 1 / 4Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 133Drops: 9 was my list. Went full drops and took fiends to try them out. His list... a bunch of priests, blood throne, skarbrand, some bloodthirster. 20 bloodletters, 3 bloodcrushers, 2 units of dogs. Mission was Realmstone Cache with some awkward terrain placement from TTS. He gives me first turn, and I move up with archers, throw LOP on objective. I killed both units of dogs and dealt 8 damage to a blood thirster. He heals some of the wounds back and gets some buffs up. He summoned dogs in and sends them in to eat unleash. Problem for him is I unleashed with archers furtherest from his bloodthirster and they killed the dogs. Bloodthirster charges in, but rolls low and ends up in range of 2 units now free to unleash hell. They kill the bloodthirster on the charge. Bloodletters roll poorly on their charge, fight fiends and archers but don't do a whole lot. I end up winning priority which puts Bloodletters in a bad spot and Skarbrand is wide open. He conceded. We talked about what could've been done. What are some good units into the army and where the list would fall apart.
  5. I'm really liking a lot of what we got here. I'm very happy for the book. I'm curious to try double keeper in invaders to try to give them both a lot of attacks. I'm curious about unique heroes as well, as Shalaxi would be such a killer here with this heroic action. 3 attacks on soul piercer (or 4 with icon) is just going to drive some heroes into the grave.
  6. So I think Temptation Dice are kinda fun. It seemed like it was 6 total from rumors. But 6 per battleround is spicy. that is on average 12 mws if they always deny it. Or its 21 depravity if you roll average if they always take the dice. That can be a good bit of damage, also if you use EK for around 10-20 dp if your hammer just murders a unit. You could be at a ward pretty quickly.
  7. So interestingly, in AoS coach's timestamps, there is no spell lore section. In all of his other videos, this section has its own spot. It also seems our traits and artifacts are still tied to subfaction... which I'm not particularly a fan of.
  8. I love this new ability. We need more things that just occur instead of playing minigames within minigames that get us a small prize. Take Dark Delusions. 2d6 cast, casting value 4. Enemy doesn't unbind. Then target selection. Resolve effect. This is what most spells get to do. But DD adds... Roll bravery on 2d6. Against something like ungor? Sure. I think I'll get to beat bravery 5. But like... do we really want +1 to hit against ungor? Nah, I want it against larger targets. But those braveries tend to be higher. So now my spell that resolved gets an extra attempt to just fizzle anyways. You look at BoC spells. It;s +1 dmg, take d3 for no commands. I think they have a no pile in spell. These are spells very much worth casting and add a lot to the army. I want some more consistent effects or if they are going to force us to have any "random" result that we have ways to influence this dice.
  9. I think cygor at 210 is a little expensive for us as an ally. But Chaos Gargant has a 3" -1 save aura. It can be a nice little companion monster to join twinsouls and stop AoD but also give twinsouls some rend.
  10. on AoS Coach's discord, knights have not been performing for people in large amounts. They work well in 5's because you can go slam them into something for damage, but not to really load up on them. Varanguard are definitely better knights for what you need. Running the 6 that I do, its definitely going to slam into whatever I need to and will still grind well.
  11. It really is. I've been playing new slaves to darkness and it's a lot of fun. I just enjoy being able to just go kill things. No longer do I feel bad that a unit didn't die. It's honestly refreshing. New GV allowing us to take myrmadesh again without worry is great and 110 is a good price for them... just comes to little too late.
  12. Two lists I'm toying with Host of the everchosen Sorc lord (Master of magic/Tome/Speed) Slaanesh Sorc Lord (Levitate) - might be the candidate for bonus enhancement like teleport or triple CA. Slaanesh 10 Slaanesh Chosen w/ Banner 10 Nurgle Chosen w/ Banner 6 Khorne Varanguard w/ fellspear 1 unit of Cabal 1 unit of Unmade Other list Chaos lord Nurgle w/ Idolator Lord (heal) and triple CA. Sorc lord (tome/speed) Sorc lord (Levitate) 10 Slaanesh Chosen w/ Banner 10 Nurgle Chosen w/ Banner 6 Khorne Varanguard w/ fellspear 1 unit of Unmade Both lists fall under Battle Regiment. First list is 1940 so likely to get triumph. Second list is 1975, but I get access to get rid of Invocations, another potential unbind and a sturdier general who can pass wounds off to nurgle chosen and rally them back with a 5+.
  13. So I think there is some neat play here, but ultimately... we just need a new tome. I'm burnt out trying to make this mess of a book work and be fun.
  14. Warshrine may need to work its way into our lists. Giving Sigvald 3d6 charge can help him eliminate targets better. I like Theridons as while clearly them being marked is tied into their costs, slaanesh wasn't giving them as much so they would be doing just as well in a hedonite army.
  15. There are 9 books remaining from the rest of the armies. slaves is probably an early January release with the rest of the updated kits probably shown around Christmas/New Years. most armies on that list don’t need new units, they just need new books, but we know they love adding new heroes. We also saw 10 books this year, so it’s possible.
