Thalassic Monstrosity

I like it. What does everyone else think?

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a new army to oppose my friend's Lumineth and I've been considering Idoneth (I've been considering a lot, I'll be honest). I'm just curious. I like Allopex... Allopexes? Allopexi? And Namarti. I don't want to go eel-heavy (even though I know that's The Thing). I have to ask: what Enclave would support that sort of army best? Further, how well do you all think I would do against Lumineth? Thanks for any answers in advance! Edit: I'm also considering adding Bundo Whalebiter in partly to continue the nautical theme and partly as a big target to soak enemy fire.

Thanks for the answer! Granted I wish that WASN'T the answer but c'est la vie.

Hello! I'm considering focusing on Slaves to Darkness for a while to oppose my friend's Lumineth. What would you all recommend as good tools to square up against them? I know he's working on a pretty strong (from what I've heard) list with Cathallars and Sentinels. Any advice you can give me is greatly appreciated!

I think I may wind up doing just that. Thanks for the suggestion!

That's a good question. I suppose it boils down to aesthetic; I want to play Slaanesh but I prefer the Mortals both as models and in theme.

Thank you! I'm okay with using Knights and Warriors as sponges while other units do the hammering. I'd actually planned on having Hellstriders zip around alongside the Knights for a little extra punch!

Hi everyone! What's everyone's take on mortal-heavy Slaaneshi armies? I hear a lot of disparaging for Warriors or Knights in comparison to Marauders, but if Marauders weren't an option how would they fare?

Thank you so much! I was thinking that migbt be the case and I'm glad to get it cleared up!

Hi, everyone! I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how two one-handed weapons work in the Anvil. If I want to give a character two axes, do they simply have two separate entries? Does the characteristic enhancement apply on a per-weapon basis, then? I suspect that might be the case but I want to know for sure.

I'm really looking forward to the Khainite Shadowstalkers. Not just for the models, which I think are great, but for their fluff.

Hi, I just had a quick question, @NinthMusketeer When selecting a starting warband, it says you can pick from any eligible table, does that include the Elite tables? Does it take two choices like the Elite tables of conventional Path to Glory lists?

That's a good point. It certainly seemed massive when it came out in comparison to all the old gor and ungor models in the army book.

Huh, I never realliy noticed those. I remember when it came out I thought it was brilliant but never picked one up.

Oh wow, I didn't know they were so close in size!

I expect a new tome next year (Fyreslayers and Kharadrons both got updated three years after their initial release, I believe). Having said that I don't think we'll get any new units in the tome other than the Khainite Shadowstalkers (I think (and hope)) and Morgwaeth's Blade-coven.* Speaking of, the fact that Morgaeth and her Coven are listed in the updated points leads me to believe that they would have been released by now if not for the machinations of Clan Pestilens. I look for their announcement every weekend. *Edit: and maybe a terrain piece.

Ugh, tell me about it. At my hospital - because it's been around for so long and is expanding so damn quickly - we'll have multiple terms for specific functions and everyone seems to insist that no, their own nomenclature is the only legitmate one and only idiots use anything else. I have to say, GW really understands how my brain works. I can't stay excited about anything for very long and I think I'm about ready to cycle back around to being interested in Lumineth again.

Don't they have a big reveal planned this Saturday?

Don't expect much. No new reveals or much lore.

Everything changed when Archaon attacked. Only Teclis, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the Idoneth needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years later GW revealed the new Teclis.

They look like giant sideburns to me.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/03/03/seraphon-the-rulesgw-homepage-post-2/ Can I be the first to say wow? Because wow! Starborne are the Seraphon we know: Bravery 10 and Lords of Space and Time. Coalesced are much more primal. +1 attack to all their Jaw attacks and -1 Damage to all incoming hits (minimum 1) Then there are subfactions: Dracothian's Tail lets you teleport units in from reserve. Fangs of Sotek give Skinks 3" extra movement first turn. Koatl's Claw give Sauri +1 to hit when they charge. Thunder Lizards is the all-stegadon party they've hinted at. More info on it soon.

It's a win for everyone! Just as the Great Plan foretold!

"Seraphon are back, and they’re lizards again." Wooo!

If they go the Slaves to Darkness route they'll probably buff saurus at the expense of skinks. That's just a possibility, though. All I know is I have a bunch of skinks and saurus... saurses? Sauri? Anyway, they're hideous so I don't want to use them.
