    The rules nerfs are the more impactful changes in my opinion,

    This…

    of course it is the SBGL cheese, but after the faq there are other glaring fudge fests like the blizzard lizzards that are way more oppressive and unfun.

    Best thing is the nagash drop, still 50 too much , but now at least somewhat possible

    I'll report after, hopefully this will happen Tuesday.

    So… what happened 🫣

    the LoA 2.0 Rules were pretty decent, but I‘m Not sure if you can prevail against the regeneration and damage a half-ambitioned LoBlood list might bring.

    how would I go about painting Lapis Lazuli onto a model using Citadel Paints?

    Well, Google Lapislazuli and Go for it… since it is a crystal, you‘ll have defined sharp edges of varying colors. Black + Blue + ICE Blue , maybe Edge highlighting with turquise 🤔

    d add a Deathrattle Kingdoms Subfaction, making those wights casters and scary.

    No.1 yes, with bone Giants and constructs and abominations… and no magic beyond a Necromancer dude

    but That would be back to LoNagash again (once More with feeling) , which i liked but don‘t think they‘ll do

    They've been doing really well with all the 3.0 tomes.

    Well, looking batreps and listening to the new Slaneesh tome, it:

    imba or bust time again…

    Not sure about KO, but them kinky people surely got the decadent package of goodies…

    I liked the old Book, it was good and not a rolfstomp your friends like them pink diversity got 🫣🥶🤷🏿‍♀️.

    shows off the stuff gw can pull off with their superior production methods & materials that rival mini companies just can't do, and that even 2d printing has trouble with.

    Maybe, but if we‘re doing the „look what I can“ dance, against other sculpters and home 3D printing, they hit rock bottom hard.

    lost kingdoms has great terrain same as a bunch of others… some have cool minis.

    people who Go the length to get a good 3D resin printer and get good at it, have already decided against GDubs…


    showing off something nobody needs is (a bit) besides the topic of the company and the „needs“ of the playerbase…

    epic morghast Champ making them cool again pushes both lines,

    epic Blender/mage Vamp making vargheist great again could be more beneficial than a stupid fancy furry vamp Lady  (which could be awesome, if she had beefy werewolves, Just saying)

    it might yet do so with a more significant model wave attached, rather than just a pity hero.

    Just like the sky-dwarves 🤣

    but I hope they get some decent rules and a 30% range increase… blender gk hulk and elite infantry would be nice, maybe some vermin with sneaky vanguard skillz (like the nurglings)

    I lied, I have to get the whinging out before I can go to sleep.

    Good morning 😅 Good thing you liked ?it?

    I‘m Not thrilled… fudging furry, that Abomination is all over the Place imo and for me doesn‘t push any buttons (beyond exterminate).

    I didn‘t know the term pity hero, but it seems fitting, right down the Kriza lane. Looks funky on display, will Never See the table. And as you stated, there are still some Open spots in the line up for a Model or two (cav-hero/the beast II), way GDubs insists on releasing something nobody needs, is puzzling/frightening.

    Cado was ok, but why do cado II ?!? Because he financially delivered, so they said „again, gimme cash“… 

    🤔but production costs should Not differ too much between a 30mm figure mold and a 50-90mm mold which I hoped for (red Duke 😢)
     

    That said, still hope for a wider FEC range … which is good

  8. Give me a 750-800 Naggi, 

    as stated above, there were great vamp variants in the old world that were cool to field and easily compatible with their new fluff… an Blooddragon Archduke is a 280 melee blender on par with Sigvald or an IJ boss , while the Necrach variant has base stats, but 2 casts with +1

    anybody say endless spells?!?

    we still have a great variety of troops , especially for fluff and casual play, so I‘m fine with that. Don’t tryhard creativity GDubs 😅

    What are you guys running these days?

    Thought about a similar list, with

    AAR - GK - GkoTg - Infernal (General, Wizard)

    2x6 flayers + 2x10 ghouls 

    that’s 1870

    with 130 tba 🥶

    for endless, ghouls or second infernal (GC)

    Not sure about 9 flayers units, galetians helps, but still tricky to position and place on a tight table.
    Horrors without rend still not really worth it imo.

    more bodies could be nice, second infernal as champion or barricades and the stampede sounds all debatable 🤷🏿‍♀️

    How are you all finding soulblight now? They seem to do great in a save stacking meta,

    Just watched some „northern invasion“ on YT, they play pretty meta and he brought a Manni + Neffi + palanquin + necro with skellis, vargheist (bounty) and black knights… purple sun list 🤔 new PSun won‘t eat Skarbrand and a boomthirster, but 🤷🏿‍♀️ D6+6 hurts

    in hindsight, my Nagash list (2wolves,skellis, necro and 20gg) stole a very good draw against a pretty meta IJawz list (cabbage with dmg-axe, boss, 2 cheerleader, 2x5 riders, 10+5 brutes, 20+10boyz iirc) with a spell portal, I would have won 

    And the classic venga lord+ knights is a tough brick to chew. Throw in the coven throne (ca for extra save) or Mannfred (for 2+\2+) and the knights will do you proud 

    almost forgot Neffi… if your knights are at „ - 1 save“ (Venga, Coven, Shield, Defense) and 2+\2+ (coven) Neffi might just throw in a -1 to hit aura 🤔 the ignore rend spell might then be wasted on the knights 🤣

  11. Having a tournament, let’s say a Joust coming up next month…

    Gristlegore

    AAR (spectral host) + 2x GoTg (Mawshard, spells monstrous vigor or flaming weapon)

    9x Ghouls

    Chalice and Palisades 

    1990

    Throw the rabble at the objectives and charge the Sonz of the Lady into the enemy… 

    Any thoughts?

    double gheist charge should keep the enemy busy and the rabble scores. If one unit gets hit, well, tough luck there are others still claiming the objectives… the palisades slows/blocks a flank and the chalice heals the GkoTg if in range

    I really don't get why they're doing nothing with FEC when it could easily be one of the signature Factions for AoS since the concept is really unique and easily expandable.

    No pointy ears tree hugging daffodil munchers…

    when the R&D is not enthusiastic, you gotta play with the hand dealt

    Alternatively they could just bring out Ushoran!

    Well… yes, that is of course a given 🤣

    Horrors with a 4+ ward 😍

    Auto-returning slain models on a 4+ if ww 12“ of an abhorrent ?

    talks about a court-jester were once a thing, I’d love extra protection on our heroes. -1 hit or ablative wounds or +1 cast for 40-65 points (old world item style)
     

    Give the Ghast Courtier a buffing ability, similar to the nurgle piper, so ghouls are relevant, beyond fodder

     

    On the other handside, FEC is a min-max list, never had variety, so if GDubs has an interesting idea (which I dread right now) they might go for it

    Is there a discussion anywhere about FEC wishlisting for a model expansion?

    Not to my knowledge…

    After reading your comment, I started thinking, and thinking. The range is the slimmest out there, one line + 2 elite + four courtiers, 2 kings on mount and the two foot kings…

    that is even slimmer than a fireslayer thong 

    but how and with what would you like to expand the range, without making one choice obsolete or going into a us too direction.

    i thought about bats, fast objective grabber, but SB has them, sooo kinda boring

    a big 250-300 point hero? Well with the naked attitude it won’t last and between the aar and a varghulf, I‘m not sure what I need, since I‘d rather take a GkoTg suicide rocket

    Cheaper chaff would throw out the ghouls, with the low save and high rend in the meta, heavy infantry is not cutting it

    i‘d love to see horrors get a good warscroll… Regeneration of killed models on a 4+ or something 

  15. If you compare his impact on the game to almost any reasonable 1k composition, he is outmatched and outperformed. Within SBGL and even more so against other armies…

    a giant brings more hp, same capping power and probably even more damage. Hand of dust delete is nice when it happens, but it can fumble.

    From your game would you say he is worth his current points?

    With the portal for ranged Hand of dust he is at 1025… 16hp 3+ no aftersave, no factionwide CA like before, no decisive offensive spells

    I think 750-800 is reasonable, but it is fun to field him and after the first opposition, people like it 🤷🏿‍♀️ easier win for them

  17. Well, that wasn’t even half bad…

    his 10 brutes mowed down the poor zombies, Puppies on the right got wiped in defense of Naggi, puppies on the left held on for dear un-life.

    20 GGs with van hels counter charged the brutes into minced meat, Big N debuffed the cabbage and spanked it. 30 zombies came back 👻

    5 brutes and a boss totally whiffed against my guards and got devastated, only 3 of the boarriders made it into Nagash, after a cunning redeploy… kinda bounced off

    sadly we had to quit early, but sanguine blur was worth it, I really should have used a spellportal and our mighty overlord is fun to play with. Probably would have lost on points, played the 4 tablequaters scenario, but my 3.2 turn, Nagash in combat with two riders, with 7hp… and the guards ready to rock

    I've been playing Nagash in Nighthaunt the last few games and Cogs is an auto include now.

    So downsizing the zombies to 40 for cogs and the sun? Or cogs & portal? 
    depending on enemy, nurgle with the sun, iron jawz the portal 🤔

    Subfaction, artefact, trait?

    Yes, with sprinkles on top… 😹

    I was thinking about vyrkos, pack alpha and phylactery (18“ deathless)… 

    nobody gets rerolls, but the extra cp should come in handy, when the necro buffs the guard. The extended deathless as a noob fail safe in positioning 

    LoBlood also sounded interesting, Saquine blur gives the guards 6“ pile in 😈 the bling is tricky…orb or garments or the ring, the amulet all kinda nice. Depends what my opponent fields, guess nurgle or IronJawz. Nurgle with the garments Jawz with the orb

    LoNight with unbending will and morghebs claw would have my necro running with the zombies, not really a fan 

     

    internal debate switches between VD and LoB 🤷🏿‍♀️

  20. Will try out the big man next week… first try of the new rules 😱

    Nagash

    Necromancer

    2x Dire Wolves

    60 Zombies

    20 Grave Guards

    1990

    Think that will be interesting? Guards will be headhunters, puppies conquerors 🤔 

    or is our mighty overlord total trash in ghb22? 

  21. 23 hours ago, El Syf said:

    Does anyone have any list ideas for him yet?

    I could see him doubling up with knights as an aggressive hero. 

    charge in, fight and afterwards staying in the pitch, while the BKs get the healing spell and next charge. He takes the „damage“ Spirit and mops up the survivors 🤔

    For those moments, when the vangorian lord is too expensive or somewhere else…

    side-hero for Neffi or Manni 🤷🏿‍♀️ blocking or counter charge, since his healing hunger and spell is interesting.

    maybe even healing Nagash 🤣 or VloZd etc…

    As I said, the damage might be alright, but he is too expensive and too squishy to be thrown into melee.

    I see his power in versatility and healing
