    The old "it isn't bad because it could be worse" defense? I didn't say it was revealing, I said that the sculptor looked at her current model and made a concious decision to make it more revealing. I'm far too aware of the internet I assure you which is why I'm tired. Not shocked, not outraged, not prudishly clutching at my pearls. Just tired.

    I'm gonna be so tired if they release a stormcast warband instead of the many many armies that would benefit from a unit outside of their usual release window. Also the neferata shrine would be a lot cooler if it didn't look like it a was a meme about "the only place people look on this model heh heh heh". Probably because of the downward angle more than anything else. Actually a quick look at neferata actual kit shows that the sculptor decided her cleavage window wasn't big enough and plunged the neckline... Turns out I'm already so tired...

    Humorous fact. The more coaliton units you bring the easier it is to do the "no cowards among us" battle tactic (all BLADES OF KHORNE units have to be within 8" of an enemy at the end of the turn) since they even keyword locked the challenges.
  4. The Red King
    Just to be clear coalition units do not gain the "blades of khorne" keyword, only the Khorne keyword.
  5. The Red King
    I'm barely on the internet these days. Anywhere to see the points changes so I can start list theorizing or just pause the youtube reviews?
  6. The Red King
    The bloodsecrator reviews say khorne units but I wouldnt be surprised if they're wrong. But bullgor with a doombull have all their power baked into the scroll so still fine with me.
  7. The Red King
    Does anyone know if the coalition rules are still in to bring some beasts along?
  8. The Red King
    The lack of obligatory "and this is what they're doing in the gnarlwood!" Raises my silly hope for a beastmen warcry band.
  9. The Red King
    I have it on good authority khorne is going to be good but these rules must be the least inspiring of the book? I mean a 5+ ward is cool but unless the other half of that rule is missing it implies those demons are furious until they get into combat where they have their emotional support blood spray to calm them down? Chip mortal wounds on death is yawn inducing and the final ability is cool but meaningless until we know how blood tithe works/costs/etc.

    My list accidentally ended up spamming chariots just because they were a convenient cost. If I had foot enlightened I would probably swap one or two chariots for them just to shut off commands if nothing else.
  11. The Red King
    Yeah I might have taken the wrong tone myself. Most of my initial reactions were wrong so I'm certainly capable of being wrong again. Heck my original assumption before deep diving was that bestigor were going to completely outshine bullgor lol. Side note. FAQ is up. Nothing huge. Somehow enlightened on foot were changed to 90 points so I dont know how that typo made it in?
  12. The Red King
    I'm guessing those arent pestigor so much as gor aligned with nurgle.
  13. The Red King
    I know people are finding success so I'm probably wrong but I have a hard time seeing them as an anvil when you can get the same amount of wounds/point with the same save and more dmg output from Gors. 2 units of 20 may not benefit from bless or AoD exactly the same but the spawn, cockatrice, etc. Are all equally as effective and they have the flexibility of moving independently and giving out Always strikes last some times. I guess the larger footprint could be a problem but I see it as an advantage more times than not. I personally still see them as a little over costed and yes the debuffs help immensely but that just inflates the cost. Still it's nice to know that others are finding success and enjoying them because I love them and really expect them to come down in points some and then they'll only be more attractive.

    This is only partially new book data correct? Not that I think beasts are going to drop to the bottom or anything. Just curious if this is pre or post tome.
  15. The Red King
    I've been potentially invited to a battle report by a popular youtube channel I just happened to meet at my new LGS after moving so my paint goal for this month is possibly insane! Luckily the wife is inclined to help with some of it but she's never painted before (though as a silversmith and photographer I think she'll be more than steady enough!) 24 gor 20 ungor 9 bullgor 3 converted tuskgor chariot 1 tzaangor shaman And just for cheek I'd like to repaint my herdstone before it makes it to YouTube hah. Wish me luck.
  16. The Red King
    Note they didnt give me any new rumors. I just have personal confirmation that the old rumor of "the playtesters say Khorne is going to be strong" is an accurate sentence.
  17. The Red King
    Through multiple books and faqs skulltaker is in fact not unique for some reason. I've spoken to someone who would know that confirms Khorne is going to be quite good in their next book so I dont think I'd make any purchases just yet. As a beasts player however please dont ally cockatrice lol they're going to nerf us so badly thanks to every other chaos faction having access to it. (It does need nerfed probably, I'm jk)
  18. The Red King
    That's how the Blood Pact traitor guard from 40k get away with it.
  19. The Red King
    They are for open or narrative play and have no cost.
  20. The Red King
    It will definitely get nerfed because it maybe should in our book but will one hundred percent be taken in every chaos book that can ally one (or more) in.
  21. The Red King
    6 inch range ability in the start of any combat phase. 4+ deals d3 mw but if a unit takes any mw from the ability they only hit on 6's for that phase.
  22. The Red King
    Ironically alpha striking 9 bulls with bestial cunning is what my list looks like before you said this hah. So we agree. I'm just miffed the best way to run skullfray is not to take the only "skullfray" thing in the book (the command trait). That said 20-30 dual weapon gor with the skullfray buff, and exlosing 6s (wild rampage), and +1 damage (tendrils of atrophy) and the beastlords +1 hit/wound, do put out some of the silliest damage numbers I've ever seen ( 112 versus a 4+ save) even if you'd never get everything lined up perfectly like that in a real game. That's also magic reliant so not very khornate. But the way I see it if Khorne doesnt care enough to give us marks then you can slip a little "blood magic" by him. The Great Brass Bull is less clear on magic than Khorne is after all.
  23. The Red King
    Good luck T_T Realistically there is no great way to do Khorne in a beasts army. We kind of need our wizards and the skullfray general trait is best when applied to tzaangor variants. My opinion as an avid skullfray player is to wait and just coalition some bullgor and doombull into Blades of Khorne since most of their power is on the warscroll anyway. Maybe proxy a few other units. Sadly GW decided not to support the god marked frays this time around. Better luck in 4 years or so.
  24. The Red King
    There's a lot of really great math on page 2 that might be a lot better than my opinion but on the topic of the eating I think it's best not to think "oh darn this doesn't do the trick i want" and instead think of it more like a likely 3 kills per activation, which boosts their kind of pitiful average damage. They at least take some buffs well. Wild rampage (which is bad on a lot of our units because they already have an ability that triggers on 6's), titanic fury, doombulls call to slaughter, the very unlikely beastlords hatred of heroes. Gorgon probably need more support than is reasonable but I wouldn't expect them to not do anything for you and at least they can heal themselves so there's that? I havent personally made any lists using the 2 I have but I havent even gotten to play a game yet because of life so I would take my opinions with some salt.
  25. The Red King
    I want to use them so badly but as others have said 20 gor outdamage them while also having the utility of being gor and benefiting from all herd if I end up not going gavespawn but I really love the IDEA of the morghurite spawn as a defensive debuff alongside my cockatrice and enemy charge phase charging slitherwrack doombull. Layers of defense. In practice it may turn out that massive amounts of free gors is just a better way to go. I got sidetracked. Bestigor are overpriced and don't have anything going for them that cant be done better by another unit in the same book sadly.
