Some whopping lists so far! I remember when I first joined forums in the early 00s and I was so shocked to see the volume of models people own, even just unbuilt and boxed were more than I own. Currently: Dark Aelves 20x Dreadspears 2x Sorceress 20x Blackguard 10x Doomfire Warlocks 10x Blood Sisters 1x Bloodwrack Shrine 1x Avatar of Khaine 2x Hag (including 1 old metal Hag) 1x Slaughter Queen 10x Witches (old metal ones) Sorceress on Drakespawn Dreadlord with Great Sword Malus Darkblade (just a Dreadknight now though) 10x Shades (for sale!) 2x Reaper Bolt Throwers Celestar Ballista 3x Hydra 2x Black Dragon 1x Drakespawn Chariot 25x Drakespawn Knights 1x Lokhir Fellheart 1x Black Ark Fleetmaster 40x Black Ark Corsairs 1x Kharibdyss 2x Scourgerunner Chariot 5x Assassin 20x Dark Riders Future expansion around the Daughters of Khaine. And if one day I finish them, 10-20 converted Dark Shards from the 40 Corsairs... Stormcast Eternals Vandus Hammerhand Lord Relictor Knight Incantor Lord Ordinator (conversion) 2x Celestar Ballista (on their way) 10x Liberators 3x Prosecutors 5x Retributors 3x Vanguard Raptors (Longstrikes) 3x Aetherwings Just need another 5-10 Liberators or Judicators and some Endless Spells for a 2k list for the Stormcast. Will pick up the other Knight Incantor once the magazine with him on comes out. It's not the best list in the world but they're my sons and he's very happy. I'd try and get some Starmauls and Great Hammers but the bits are hard to come by unfortunately. I also have quite a few Space Marines, but I think I'll sell most of them and just make a kill team now to be honest. For those interested in 40K, that's something like 2 Dreads, techmarine, assault terminators, terminators, 30 tactical marines, Telion, Tigurius, Sicarius, apothecary, chaplain, rhino, 5 scouts, 10 devastators, 2 landspeeds, 3 bikes, 10 assault marines. I don't think I'll ever play 40K, but I have a can of Macragge Blue and I still love the character models...

The idea of building a hero from a kit sits well with me actually. If there's plenty of bits in the box, at least it gives some variety. Clearly the Knight Incantor is a model they want people to own. Freebie on a magazine, in the Starter Sets and now in the Evocator box. I got the Starter Set one for not much more than a fiver, so it's easy to get hold of even if they never put it in a blister.

99% sure they stayed the same. Just the points drops to Black Guard, Black Dragon and rise to Sorceress etc.

I can't face painting horde armies unless there's an obviously quicker way, like Nighthaunt. It's been a task doing Drakespawn Knights! Another good killing unit to consider are Executioners, though I'm not sure if there's better options in none Aelven Anvilgard factions!

I think with Anvilgard, I get the feeling speed is very important. I'm going for it on the back of an Order Serpentis view; 2 dragons with 14" move. Hydra is your anvil, and I'd take two now. Drakespawn Knights are reasonably quick (10" move). You can add Aetherwings for further "around the back" antics, but also think about the usage of Endless Spells. I'm not sure if there's one that can emulate a wall or table edge (Shackles maybe? Palisade?). Or, use the Cogs to improve movement. That requires a Sorceress and a big block or two of Shards/Spears. Alternatively, I'm thinking maybe a massive net of Corsairs (40 @ 260) with a Fleetmaster to have them re-roll hits. Potential also for Shadowblades - using the Dark Riders who are nippy with 14" moves. Trying to squeeze in Realm Reavers or Ebondrake Warhost I think is quite important. Main problem is the lack of number of allies to take. And of course, I look at these lists from a very aelf-centric way. I have some Stormcast but I just can't bring myself to have them work together ?

Purely because the Bloodwrack Shrine leaves a Hag and Slaughter free! I have toyed with playing the Slaughter Queen as a Hag, saving me 40 points to use elsewhere, but not sure how. I've messed around trying different Cauldron combinations but I think if the Medusa is General, giving her the extra wounds on the Shrine is quite useful for 60 points difference. At 1250 points I'd consider the Ballista. I have two on the way, but I'd use my Reaper Bolt Throwers anyway to keep in theme. I did also think about including a Hydra at that point level, or dropping a unit of Doomfires at 1k for a Hydra if I take out the Slaughter Queen for a Hag.

I've not bought any myself yet, but the Prosecutors and Aetherwings I picked up last month and assembled make me shudder every time I move the box they're in. I think the solution for me is to manufacture a series of metal shelves that I can put into a plastic storage box (father in law works in metal works, he can get me the sheets cut) and just magnetise my entire collection. I've seen people use large fishing or tool boxes that are very simple and metal. I've got a 1k list ready to build, but not sure on temples, spells or artefacts, so advice welcome. Not played with the Daughters of Khaine yet - initially bought the Sisters/Medusa to ally to my Order Serpentis but also got my hands on two Doomfire Warlock kits so 1k list just happened...

I don't think you need to with the black dragon model. Perhaps just use more wash on the upper, scaly part so it's the same colour, but darker. Equally, you could just colour those spines at the front.

Those tiles are ace. Where were they from? Also, what is the Blood Sister conversion for? /edit. Saw you said local store. Ordered some Evergreen ones. Cheers!

I don't know why, but I imagined that the Hysh aelves would see the light (fnar fnar) before the Ulgu aelves. As much as I would be all over Malerion's aelves, please let me get my Order Serpentis and Daughters of Khaine done first. My wallet can't take any more...

There's a cthulhu themed greenstuff roller I had my eye on for the Idoneth Deepkin, which I think could really suit the Daughters of Khaine. @Bananamanalso had some incredible looking basing, using temple ruins, columns, pots and things. Awesome.

Fairly sure that's true for matched play. It's the other game modes that the points (obviously) wouldn't apply.

Love the work. It made my life so much easier 4 months or so ago when I first got back into the hobby. Thanks for the hard work!

Looks like good old Warscroll Builder has been updated to AoS2 and GHB18: https://www.warhammer-community.com/warscroll-builder/ (Unless I've missed a trick and this is common knowledge!) Might be useful for those who are struggling with Azyr at present.

Glad I saw your name! I trust master @DantePQ ?

With some changes to the Idoneth Deepkin warscrolls (better Leviadon, worse Ishlaen Guard), has anyone spotted anything for the Daughters of Khaine?

Yeah, if you look on the main forum there's a couple of threads dedicated to the new endless spells and malign sorcery. I've not investigated their use for Daughters of Khaine, but when I have the book I'll definitely be looking at the options for all of my armies.

I need to have a look again at Anvilgard because it's a nice little extra. Combined with endless spells and realm artefacts, it might be easier to properly hem people in and get off the Implacable March.

@MrZakalweI'm scared painting mine. I can't settle on a wing colour or anything but growing up all I wanted to do was paint the dragons! Progress this week: Just the base and charioteers to do. Also, actually finished 5 more drakespawn. That's just 5 left of the first batch of 15 (10 in waiting however) and the knights. Malus/dreadknight done on this unit too: Failed the June challenge miserably. I have gotta get a move on with this painting business!

I keep discounting the ability to sacrifice and taking them as allies as a back line in my own army. Taking 2 lots of 10 spears or shards and 2 sorceress for the 400 allowance gives access to some spell casting power. You can still sacrifice outside of the DC allegiance can't you? Just based on key words? I've made a thread about the other Aelven factions and how allies, endless spells and artefacts of AoS2 here if anyone wishes to contribute:

I like the Tauralon too, especially if you could paint it a shade of brown or even black. I would like to see a mount more resembling the iconography of the Stormcast, particularly something lion like. Like a good Manticore. I appreciate the imagination put into the recent releases. The Deepkin were similar. How easy would it have been to go with kraken, sea dragons, incorporate the kharibdyss and so on? Some would still like that (can't say I wouldn't) but I'm pleased there's some curve balls like the Eidolon. Going forward, I'm really interested to see what happens with the remaining Aelves of Hysh and Ulgu... Particularly Malerion's Aelves.

I don't see any price cut at all. If we get a Start Collecting or larger box that's the extent of the discounts I think. The Khinerai are expensive for their points value too. With that said, the DoK and Idoneth have played an important role in recent story progression so even if they're expensive (and I've no idea on sales figures), they're most definitely here to stay as a faction. (Irrespective of how new they are too!!)

Not worth sharing a pic of work done on my drakespawn, but mouths about done, spines, teeth and claws on the way. Running a club at school, so took Lokhir to paint, rather than transport all my drakespawn. This is the result of 3 hours (1 hour club plus 2 hours tonight): It's all washed and ready for the final highlights. I'm going to use the Blood God paint on the swords, covering the whole metal. Then, I'll do fine little silver highlights as in the Daughters of Khaine battletome. Love that look. I've also finished building and spraying my son's Stormcast Eternals: The gold spray is fantastic. It covered really well, two fine coats from top and bottom. He'll do all the Reikland Flesh, drybrush and I'll do the fine details. I found them a joy to paint before... Unlike my own bloody aelves!

This is what makes a forum, threads like this. Superb work @Lysandestolpe, it's inspiring!

Lizards nearly done! Faces, spines and gold to go. Won't post the chariot pic because I've also updated the June thread. Also WIP... My son's first army being built. 1k Stormcast (Starter set, 2x extra Retributors, Vanguard-Raptors).
