    Don't forget the Horrorghast, it's stupidly good addition to any bravery bombs

    I think Gyrocopters and then mop up with missle infantry, you would also need something that can body block other threats though. I already played against full bonesplitter Big Waaagh army and something I observed is that: they are stupidly tough, strong and numerous, but don't have spare CPs for auto-battleshock, so my opponent lost 2 units due to models fleeing after I killed like 2/3s of unit myself. Also Hollowheart spell isn't great against 2 wound models, but will work just fine against gobbos and aelves.

    You better read through the battletome, but here is some knowledge: They think that names like Goretalon are normal human names There are courts that follow Nagash and there are courts who flee from him and they all see him differently. Also Nagash himself can control FEC in his presence through the Abhorrants, unlike Ghouls they are proper undead and therefore belong to Arch Necromancer. And they see literaly everything and everyone delusionaly, they can see their allies as noble knights even if it's actually madened tourtured souls of Nighthaunts and they can see Stormcast as vile abbominations that came to destroy their kingdom. They think they tame the beast, whille actually they just ressurect one with help of Shyishian magic, to make this absolutely clear: they can see anything as anything else, they don't see themselves as nobles performing necromantic ritual over half-eaten rotten body of a dragon or what not, they see themselves as nobles training their gryphon.

    Cities can't ally with SCE, so no. You can take SCE only per "Stormkeeps" battle trait as part of the City
  5. XReN
    Yep

    It does count as "a unit on the table", it goes in the same "drop" as Lord Castellant/Veritant

    I don't think it's that easy to counter with Sylvaneth, the amount of woods they can set up is limited by terrain set-up and deployment, they will also have to take 1st turn to protect themselves therefor making it possible for shootcast double turn, with THAT many birds they also won't be able to touch Shootcast in melee for a whille, at the same time multiple reserve deployments would mess with Sylvaneth's ability to place new woods even more.

    Unless you meant warscroll realm spells and I'm just a dummy. In that case you get to know Arcane Bolt, Mystic Shield, 1 spell from warscroll and 1 from City Lore
  9. XReN
    No, realm spells are used only when you use realm magic rules from malign sorcery, don't confuse the ability to use them with realm an army hails from. IF you use mentioned rules than all your mages know all realm spells for the duration of the battle

    They are available, but author just used them for theme and good picture, you can't take them instead of proper Demis in battalion, just to be clear.

    By pure stats - Hydra is better, more damage, shooting attack, unconditional wound regen, better move and better damage chart makes it a superior choice over Kharibdyss However, Kharibdyss has two pros that need to be mentioned: if it's healing procs - it will work before opponent can deal it any more damage and it can proc every turn instead of Hydra's every battleround, that can make a difference between life and death and is also nice to have with Acidic Blood Curse, so it will tank damage and dish out MW longer. And it also has the -1 bravery aura that synergises well with Drakeblood Curse that gives another bravery debuff. What I would do is this: take both types of monsters and choose a 2nd Curse as Illicit Dealing - give Felgaze to Hydra (so you give your opponent a combined -3 penalty to bravery distributed between 2 monsters) and Acidic Blood to Kharibdis because it has the chance to stay alive longer.

    If I manage to slap together enough units untill this Saturday I'll run this Command Trait in Meeting Engagements list, so my Rearguard (consisting of Cogsmith, 10 Freeguild Guards and 2 Volleyguns) can get into position faster. The copters would also benefit from this trait to make long bombing runs and still shoot their guns. And gunlines are fun when they can actually push onto objectives fast enough to also win the game
  13. XReN
    I'll buy everything. But will start with a battletome and Mortarch
  14. XReN
    There is only one book, you either buy whatever you like or check out Anvistrike list (there was a link a page or 2 back), any way you pick you need to learn the rules and play some games to get you going. The better units in our book are: Lord Castellant Lord Relictor or Lord Veritant (they share some functions) Knight Incantor Knight Azyros Vanguard Raptors with Longstrike Crossbows Aetherwings (when used with Vanguard Raptors) Evocators on foot (called just "Evocators") Sequitors Dracothian Guard (4 types of dudes riding wingless dragon things that come in pairs) Knights Heraldor and Vexilor, as well as some named characters are usefull in some lists Liberators and Judicators are a decent choice for battleline requirements

    After a lot of bashing my head against the wall I came up with this list That is pretty generic "Everyone loves Celestial Hurricanum list" Compliments arty by making it a 2+ to hit when within aura of both the Lordinator and Hurricanum, good GWS spells by buffing battlemages that are honestly just too good not to take (Hi Hollowheart) and together with City's CA (the only scenario it's actually good at) it makes Handgunners 2+ to hit even when they move and when they don't - it negates any -1 to hit. Sadly no tanks, no copters (btw the stupid wording on steam guns don't allow them to benefit from battle trait), you just pray that your firepower, MWs and to hit penalties would allow you to cleanse the table early enough to still win by points. Also you can somewhat safely take first turn with it because Hold the Line doesn't prevent you from moving - you just use it and wholle opponent's turn he has to face 2+ 2+ halberds and handguns.
  16. XReN
    You are also using wrong point costs in your list, they have been changed in FAQ
  17. XReN
    Use this to build your list: https://www.warhammer-community.com/warscroll-builder/ PLEASE NO CUSTOM NAMES, you can add them later when you settle on what list you like Then post your list here: https://www.tga.community/forums/topic/18228-aos-2-flesh-eater-courts-discussion/?page=113 Then we can discuss it.

    Buy second-hand models You can save up and buy an army second-hands once you find a good deal. Or play Stormcast, they are by far the cheapest to collect because they are elite (means more points for less models) and poster boys ( means having loads of 2 faction boxes, battalion boxes and start collectings which you can buy yourself, split with a buddy orm again, buy second hand for low price) If SCE are not your cup of tea - you can still choose a more elite army to go for (like FEC, you can get 2000 points for very cheap price) Don't buy units because they are cheap, buy what you actually want when such opportunity arrives. If you stumble into a deal with units that you do want and don't want you can still buy it, strip whatever you don't want of paint and re-sell, or just re-sell it, I just think stripping models of paint would add some value to them for not that much effort. Trade bits, make conversions, lately I've got a unit of freeguild guard for free with mish-mashed weapons, I just need to find some bit's to build a normal unit from them. I also converted myself a Ghast Courtier for my FEC from bits and Blackstone Fortress' Ur-Ghoul that I've got really cheap.

    Man this thread is quiet, @Double Misfire maybe you have any interesting list ideas to keep things going 'round here? I also struggle to make a list for this City that I'd like.
  20. XReN
    Awesome report, thank you for sharing. Do you by any chance have any photos from those games? At least after deployment? My friend who is interested in running similar list would like to see that. Also, what are you planning to run instead of ballistas in Evos on Dracolines list?
  21. XReN
    Considering units: You are right on spot about castigators, they are overpriced for not being a battleline, shorter range than Judicators, less shots than ballista Ballistas are best when you take 4 of them with LOrdinator Evocators are great Incantor is good Sequitors are good Lord Arcanum is your "tax" for battleline Sequitors Usually SCE can do well regardless of the list, but for competetive play your friend will need to go Anvilstrike route.
  22. XReN
    just to add to @Kramer's pretty accurate response - like mentioned in the lore sometimes reforging can return a stormcast to the same battle in which he was slain. It's probably a long battle, but it's still rather impressive.
  23. XReN
    Sorry, your initial question haven't transfered your intentions that well. Yes, they are viable as skirmishing distraction unit, you can also use vanguard palladors in such role.
  24. XReN
    Yes I suggest that you play entirely dfferent units, because Prosecutors can't be the core of your list and aren't intended to be one, they don't have what it takes to do so. They are purely utility - you can use melee ones for tying up missle units or charging into the corner of big blob to mess with it's pile-in whille your main fighting unit charges other side and deals damage, you can also run them with shields and Grandaxe so they will deal some damage in the process and stay in combat longer. You can use ranged prosecutors to chip down wounds on multi-wounded targets and flank with them, then throw them in opponent's way to prevent a charge to more valuable unit. And knight Azyros is only usefull for his lantern, his combat abilities aren't any better than any other hero. I have been using Prosecutors for more than a year back in 1st edition, they are great fun, but there are better options damage-wise, so you have to use Prosecutors for utility they bring.

    We also still need a command trait as good as staunch defender and more battle traits, that make sense - "here guys, we give you this amazing battle trait of -1 to hit but it only works in your turn, we also take away all your battalion's abilities that would synergise with this trait, except one that have a bunch of tax units, have fun" Named characters that are not golden boys, seeing Lynus is a sign of hope though. Further reduction of Celestant Prime's cost and give him 2+ save already! That is an Alpha Stormcast, he deserves to be the only model in this game that has a native 2+ save.
