    Oops yeah I screwed up in thinking bloodhound was the army keyword but the doombull gained the "Khorne" keyword not "bloodbound" yeah I'll probably just change over to skullfiend then for the artifact and trait on the doombull. Really just trades exploding 6's for extra blood tithe points which can be better anyway since I can spend BT on exploding 6's. I just hope in khorne next book it isnt so that beasts just can not benefit from any of the khorne command traits and such. As for the casting, I noticed that which is why I really pushed away from an endless spell. Honestly I might just drop grashrak to a GBS and grab an extra CP but I really like the +3 movement buff that they give out even if they dont manage to cast anything. Grashrak is just slightly more survivable with his retinue and if his spell does happen to go off than that's one more layer of +1 to hit redundancy. I'm happy to see my calculations werent just wildly off though. I've been reading everything I can find but it's all fairly old what with Covid and the age of the books. Wasnt sure if there had been any big change in perception that I missed.

    So I need some help ironing out a basic list so I can slowly buy the needed bits and I can't decide quite how to finish it off. Allegiance: KhorneMortal Realm: AqshyGrashrak Fellhoof (140)- AlliesBloodsecrator (120)- Banner of Khorne (Artefact): Banner of BloodSlaughterpriest (100)- Blood Blessing: Killing FrenzyDoombull of Khorne (100)- General- Command Trait: Disciple of Khorne- Artefact: Incandescent Rageblade10 x Gors of Khorne (70)10 x Gors of Khorne (70)10 x Gors of Khorne (70)5 x Grashrak's Despoilers (0)- Allies6 x Bullgors of Khorne (280)10 x Bestigors of Khorne (120)10 x Bestigors of Khorne (120)10 x Bestigors of Khorne (120)Ghorgon of Khorne (160)Ghorgon of Khorne (160)Brass Despoilers (180)Total: 1810 / 2000Extra Command Points: 1Allies: 140 / 400Wounds: 146 So I THINK with the last 190 points I want to take 3 individual tuskgor chariots because they arent bad themselves, they allow for some mobility towards objectives, they make proccing the Khorne batallion buff easier and they are worth quick blood tithes points. Alternatively there is a plethora of options in 190 points. Anything from more bullgors+CP, wrathmongers(for extra attack)+CP, extra bloodesecrator+beastlord or bloodesecrator+CP+dirgehorn etc. Etc. I think I want to try to stick as close to Beasts as possible rather than branching too much more into Khorne but also if I'm gonna run in blades I might as well take advantage of those prayers right? I'm really quite uncertain about it all and any help would be appreciated.

    There's some hope in the fact they are printing updated warscrolls for a whopping 4 units in the IDK portion.

    One day late because of Halloween but here is the dragon with her rider fully completed! Naestrahan and their rider Atolmis the Hunter!

    Is this from the new broken realms? Oh man they're gonna trick me into buying daughters of khaine again.

Alternatively turn one bell seer into a deathmaster with the shadow master trait to ensure at least ONE character survives to give out BS immunity and bring 40 more clanrats instead of 10 gutter runners (who are really there just to fill points and screen your characters even more from deepstrike shooting)

    I'm not saying you endorse their thinking but honestly the triple A gaming industries discovery that whales are better for the short term profit (which is all they care about these days) than actually fleshing anything out is incredibly distressing to me and I worry it will leak into other industries. Luckily I dont think warhammer has the player base for micro transactions yet but you can bet if they thought they did they would be catering to the whales first and everyone else never.

    My shooting comes from WLC personally. I like them for sniping out support characters even if they can be unreliable. Otherwise I just try to play the objectives with 120 rats 40/40/40 clanrats and Stormvermin. One of my first skaven games ever I always forget I won because Archaon wiped out my whole army but I sniped his teleport caster early on which he was betting on to score objectives.

    What city is that? It makes a huge difference.

    Hey if it helps Mantics 40 quid giant is the same size as a Mega Gargant so if you want 5 megas for the price of one GW....

    The base isn't part of the contract this time I'm afraid. I plan on doing some resin water effects for swamp bases so the entire army will be based at the same time (which is 20 rangers and a few sisters away) so other than the rider my reanimated forest dragon (not a zombie, shes just so full of life magic lol) is practically done. I still have to tackle adding the butterfly effects to the brown side of the wings but I need to psyche myself up for that for a few days. Here she is is almost all her glory!

    Update on the dragon. It's nearly finished. Just needs some highlights on the bones and flesh as well as a glaze on the bloody bits. Any more experienced painters have any advice on the last and most important step though, freehanding some butterfly esque markings on the wings (like the forest dragons of old) Pic for example since butterfly is a broad term.
  14. The Red King
    If I can submit a model I should have already finished than I have my half complete "forest zombie dragon" mounted by a wood elf waystalker. It's my take on a wood elf style "dreadlord on black dragon" for my Living City army.
  15. The Red King
    Agreed on the second part. As for the first I assume it's just the assumption that there's something there that doesn't have to be represented physically but its cooler if it is.
  16. The Red King
    To be fair yeah shadow warriors do their thing in any list. Sisters of the watch are easy to use in living cities since they dont count as having moved when they teleport in from the hidden paths but any list can also run them effectively as long as you bring a bridge of souls to teleport them though that can also be dispelled/unbound. Tempest eye is a good list for running those units as the warlord can get the +1 wound for all ranged units nearby trait and the greatswords would benefit from +3 inches to their move and +1 to their save on turn 1 for getting into position or surviving.

    Feels like the closest comparison would be the Sylvaneth "places of power" rule. So the most direct translation would be something like "pick 3 pieces of terrain (1 in your territory, 1 in your opponents territory and 1 anywhere outside of either player's territory). These terrain pieces become waystones and gain the mystical and commanding terrain features for WANDERERS units only." Then something something about the bonus for owning multiple. I wonder if the +1 to the dice roll applying to the commanding AND the mystical saves would be too much? I mean realistically how often are you gonna control 3 points on the map at the same time spread over the entire map? I imagine the prime strategy would be to select some out of the way piece of terrain on your opponents board edge but then it creates a flavorful question of whether they can keep you from activating the waystones and furthermore that's then one or two units who are gonna be pretty far from the main battle just so that you can more securely hold one other piece of terrain. It's actually a pretty fitting playstyle reminiscent of Athel Loren of old. Outsider forces that only go out to secure the world roots while the majority of your army sits in the "castle" which in this case is kind of a forest and they defend it very well if and only if they are fighting in their forest.

    1. Yes if they are taken as part of the (1 in 4 sylvaneth units) that Living city let's you bring than for all game purposes they are Living cities. Note you can only bring 1 in 4 sylvaneth units. Living city can't ally Sylvaneth. 2. If you have 4 wizards than two of them are gonna get the same spell. Giving the spell to one caster doesnt take it off the list. Note you can still only try to cast any given spell one time a turn so if you have to double up put it on someone who's warscroll spell you probably want to cast regularly. 3. Sylvaneth wizards can cast sylvaneth endless spells yes. ONLY the sylvaneth wizards can try to cast sylvaneth endless spells though so keep that in mind.

    Update on my "Dreadlord on Black Dragon" for my swamp dwelling living cities army. The base colors are all on. The next step will be to wash everything down to dull it out so it's not so bright. The wings are blank and brown right now cause I plan on attempting some butterfly-esque freehand on it. Wish me luck as it's my first real effort.
  20. The Red King
    I don't know if its necessarily related but I would actually prefer if I could get a box of only the female sequitors just because I find male stormcast just a little comically over proportioned wheras the female stormcast fit right into the range of super human that I'm looking for.
  21. The Red King
    This "Dreadlord on black dragon" is currently on my painting table. A forest dragon and its rider who's souls inhabit the plants that animate the body. The current rider is an old finecast waystalker who will be molded onto the neck (just in front of the sword)
  22. The Red King
    My current project is converting a "plant zombie dragon" (think golgari) to match my plant skeletons for my living city. Gonna run him with a wood elf waystrider on top as a dreadlord on black dragon. Wanted to share some WIP pics cause he's just coming along so well!

    Is it allowed for me to post a link to my post on the selling forums? I'm off loading a DoK army that never saw play because I make impulse purchases T_T it's a great deal on witch aelves if anyone is looking to get started.
  24. The Red King
    https://imgur.com/a/Bx7V5Qj I am located in the Southeastern United States and am looking to offload my DoK army. I picked them up when I first got into AoS because I had a lot of them I had used for my Dark Eldar, but as time went on I never actually played them or got into them and I moved onto other armies. I love their look but I can't justify holding onto 3 armies when I never get to play so here we are. Some of the witch aelves as you can see were converted from the attendants on the shrine and some that I got second hand have some damaged weapons but I will send all the sprues I have along with the purchase in the hopes you'll have more than enough weapons spare to fix that how you'd like. The above pictures are from when I posted the lot to R/Miniswap. The Cauldron and Khinerai have already sold The full list is: Doomfire warlock ×10 $50 Blood stalkers ×10 $80 Witch elves ×57 $250 I'll also throw in 5 of the Raging Heroes snake women archers unbuilt as a freebie. I won't need them if the army sells after all. Asking $400 shipped to anywhere in the Continental US, outside of that we'd have to discuss the shipping depending on how much it will cost but usually I am willing to split it 50/50.

    After I updated the app it kept crashing so I uninstalled and reinstalled. Worked but deleted my lists (oh well) AND ALL OF MY PURCHASED CONTENT! (Yes I have tried "restore purchases" multiple times.) Contacted customer support but it said there's up to a 15 day delay for email responses...
