30 points for the horn/flock are both interesting. The horn is a nice little debuff that's kind of short ranged and easily dispelled but you can get it in place at least once on a key combat at 15" The flock is equally easy to get rid of (more so kind of) but the "no inspiring presence" rule can be strong and it's range is somewhat unlimited. The black souled cowardice rule means the turn you summon it you just have to put it close to a unit of yours, move within 1" and then you pick it up and put it wherever you want. Alternatively on your opponents turn they can pick it up and move it to an empty corner of the map if they end within an inch but you can maybe use it to dictate the opponents movement or use your dispel in their turn to get rid of it (if you're within 30") and resummon it on your turn. All in all I think the horn is more generally useful but the flock is maybe more interesting and tactical?

I don't think poor timmy with his all melee army is comforted by the fact that the fox spam list he can't do anything against isn't doing well at tournaments.
-
I'm not actually salty but the idea that LRL need another new book (and mini) to fix the NPE is funny because it's like some elf player at GW was like "my friend only collects for the lore and painting and I'm really bothered by the fact that I can't ruin his experience as well!" Introducing new and improved NRE! (Negative release experience* *patent pending)

With confirmed points changes I'm definitely bringing the wildfire Taurus all the time (am I correct that the strikes last is not dependent on the 2+ roll since it's a separate sentence?) Also centigor seem pretty good in general with their insane mobility and the herdstone changes. With no outside buffs they average 6 wounds on a 5+ save (enough to kill most support characters and some chaff) and more importantly if you put them in the new bounty hunters batallion they deal 14 wounds on the charge against a 4+ save from turn 3. Sure there are better bounty hunters but with a 22-36" threat range and only being 85 points they seem to punch above their weight class while not being important enough for the enemy to focus down. Edit: Bestigor in the bounty hunters batallion average 22.96 wounds against a 4+ save (if it's a gallatian veteran with 10 or more models) and also benefit from bestial vigour and run/charge so they might be better than bullgor? I knew this coming season was going to be killier but that's insane. It's worth noting the bulls dont need to be Gallatian veterans to do their damage wheras the bestigor do need to be battleline to benefit from fighting in more ranks.

Wildfire Taurus at 70 is much more likely to get used by me.
-
Someone just ping me when beasts or khorne show up. Much like GW it seems whoever is leaking these points forgot about them T_T
-
Leaked on a youtube video or??
-
I sure hope so. Honestly a 9 man squad of bulls seems promising if the increased range rules leaks are accurate considering we have rally on a 4+
-
I wish I could see what his list looks like without the double spells. To see what he rates best. As for the Taurus I think it's just too expensive for how unreliable it is with our weak magic. As for the Sphiranx I love the models but I don't own them and since they cost the same as a cockatrice it becomes a question of which one I'd rather have and I THINK it's the cockatrice personally. If I was going to use sphiranx I'd probably like to try to squeeze the direflock spell in alongside them. Watching nighthaunt has shown me "cant inspiring presence" is pretty strong. I think the Chimeras real selling point is the +2 to charge. Out of ambush that's a 7 inch charge instead of a 9 and that's a big difference.
-
Any idea why all his casters have 2 spells? Surely not a mistake but I dont know the cause. Edit: I'm dumb, he spent an extra enhancement on it duh. That's a novel idea actually.
-
This will lead to... In the main game as well. "It's a luxury hobby! If they can't afford it they shouldn't play!" (Not quoting you) ignores the fact that this game lives and dies on the availability of a game. I mean the models are nice usually but almost no one here has not went looking for a better rule set only to find one but with too few players to justify. Warhammer can and will become the same kind of ghost town if prices continue this way. Just a bunch of whales playing the same game against the same guy over and over because nobody can afford to keep up let alone start from scratch.

Idk I see Seraphon topping tournaments still. I dont know them very well and First Prince is also topping tables but I wouldnt say Seraphon arent winning anything.
-
I recommend greenstuffworlds fur texture plate ( also their chainmail one). I used them on my guys.
-
Was it hard to do? Where did you source the loin cloths from?
-
I mean the kragnos base decoration that looks completely divorced from the rest of the model matches KB shields and stuff but the KB banners otherwise depict a monster with huge TUSKS not horns and doesnt really look like Kragnos to me at all. Ah yes my vote for some of the most egregious "marketing said we arent pushing these guys so make up some reason why not" writing of early AoS. "The elves uhhh fled to azyr because they were actively unable to survive nurgle diseases so they are hated. What? Oh I mean yeah Alarielle herself did also eventually give in to despair and retreat in ways they couldn't but that's different... and I suppose that yes Sigmar is famously described in every intro as having abandoned the mortal realms for safety just like the wood elves but of course the Sylvaneth like them. They're on the cover!" I mean the living city specifically calls out how wood elves arent allowed in the city proper because they ran away but also Stormcast have seats on the city council I'm sure and according to the lore the living cities armies are often led by a wanderer so I guess they just have their meetings at the edge of the city so the general of their entire army can you know... come.

If I ever need more than 10 I may do that same thing. My problem with my centigor is they're actually a little too beefy and awesome to be what they represent.
-
I like my beasts kind of "disciplined" which is why I was drawn to skullfray. The dichotomy where worshiping khorne makes them MORE disciplined rather than less like most of his mortal followers.
-
I actually have 5 more that havent had their greenstuff added who looo better than the first 5 but mine are made from the horses off the chaos chariot mixed with bits from khorne skullreapers as I run a Skullfray.
-
Man between the "not bullgor" theridon and another centaur that isn't going to be beasts of chaos I'm really starting to fear they will just soft kill Beasts into slaves to darkness without ever updating them again.
-
So. What are the chances banner 13 is actually kurnothi? Supporting evidence? None really. My lucky number is 13 and I want it? The symbol looks like a bow and arrow? There's already sylvaneth happening earlier in the year?
-
Those rats are amazing models. The elves not so much. Though I do note that none of their knees match the recent rumor engine with the holey knee pants.
-
I just wish bloodbowl models weren't so monopose ( a problem with GW in general these days). They make great conversion fodder but when they sculpt things that are clearly bloodbowl into integral and hard to reach places it vastly reduces the chance I'll bother converting it and thus buying it.
