    AoS3 - Soulblight Gravelord Discussion

    in Death

    Posted · Edited by El Syf

    They also mention his greatsword is good for killing enemy heroes. Probably won't amount to anything though :(

    It will also be interesting to see if the warscroll alludes to any other changes for Soulblight in the future, I believe there was a subtle change to the hunger on the latest Warcry vampires warscroll?

    Tips & Tricks for Playing Faster?

    It won't make it go any faster as such but if you can't remember special rules an attack might have (after to hit and wound rolls), I still find it best to roll the dice then worry about it. There's always a chance you or your opponent will fluff the roll, so reading what would have happened is rendered null and moot anyway.

    Warhammer Fest 2022 Reveal (singular)

    Yep, there's definitely more mileage in the tank for future death releases all the new vampires have looked really good now we've gotten past the bald phase. I still think the vamps need a bit more attention warscroll wise and vampiric powers should have made a comeback!

    Will pick him and his accompanying book up for sure though.

    Isn't it about time for a lunineth release #3? 

    It technically has to happen at some point.

    Which is depressing given how overboard the first 2 were and the fact they decided to absolutely curb stomp the entire death faction (from a lore perspective) to show how good the pointy ears are! Not that I'm a disgruntled death player...

    Allegiance: Soulblight Gravelords
    - Lineage: Kastelai Dynasty
    - Grand Strategy: Sever the Head
    - Triumphs:

    Leaders
    Vampire Lord (140)
    - General
    - Command Trait: Rousing Commander
    - Artefact: Fragment of the Keep
    - Lore of the Vampires: Amethystine Pinions
    Prince Vhordrai (455)
    - Lore of the Vampires: Vile Transference
    Mannfred von Carstein, Mortarch of Night (380)
    - Lore of the Deathmages: Fading Vigour
    Necromancer (125)
    - Lore of the Deathmages: Overwhelming Dread

    Battleline
    5 x Blood Knights (195)
    10 x Deathrattle Skeletons (85)
    10 x Deathrattle Skeletons (85)

    Units
    3 x Vargheists (155)
    5 x Black Knights (100)
    20 x Grave Guard (280)
    - Great Wight Blades
    - Reinforced x 1

     

    Not an optimized list but I can now say I do buy the grave guard hype, I completely forgot they did mortals in addition!  Managed to get a win too which was nice was the scenario where you deploy in the corners of the board. Still a massive Vhordrai fanboy, the ultimate distraction Carnifex but actually gets stuff done!

    SBGL Battletome Update in December WD

    Posted

    I may be so set in what command traits and artefacts I choose that I forgot some even exist but on the warscroll builder I could swear there's a couple of new ones added.

    Kastelai seem to have Bloodsaints shield which I honestly do not remember whatsoever from the battletome, unless it is that bad!

    Building towards this list. It's a hero smash and casting list. Two things I think will be super strong in AOS3. Rerolling casts for all vampires is just so busted. You can fish for 9+ if you really want to. It's such a powerful ability. I'll give the +1 dmg core spell to my wizards. It means next to cogs, Prince Vhordrai can give himself +6 to move and +1 dmg to his lance. If you charge, you're at -3 rend flat 5 dmg. Yes sir.

    I'm new to this army, but any feedback?

    Allegiance: Soulblight Gravelords
    - Lineage: Vyrkos Dynasty
    LEADERS
    Prince Vhordrai (455)
    - Lore of the Vampires: Amethystine Pinions
    Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon (435) - GENERAL 
    - +5 Ward save artefact
    - Command Trait: Hunter's Snare
    - Death Lance
    - Lore of the Vampires: Amaranthine Orb
    Belladamma Volga, First of the Vyrkos (200)
    - Lore of the Vampires: Blades of Shyish (not sure about this spell) 
    Necromancer (125)
    - Lore of the Deathmages: Spectral Grasp
    UNITS
    40 x Deadwalker Zombies (230)
    40 x Deadwalker Zombies (230)
    20 x Deadwalker Zombies (115)
    1 x Corpse Cart with Balefire Brazier (80)
    ENDLESS SPELLS / TERRAIN / COMMAND POINTS
    Umbral Spellportal (70)
    Cogs (45)
    TOTAL: 1985/2000 WOUNDS: 148

    There's so much stuff with the new edition I haven't even got my head round yet, +1 damage spell on Vhordrai  on the charge makes our MVP for my money.

    Slight curveball - what's people's thoughts of including a mega-gargant in a soulblight army?

    I don't think there's much to entice to people in to do it.

    We have Vhordrai, Manfred, Neferata, VLOZD and at a push Nagash. All monsters all benefit from Soulblight Gravelords keyword, I suppose it's more if you already have a Mega-gargant model, then you probably would want to fit it in somewhere.

    Given the options we have, I wouldn't be going out of my way to purchase one to put in a soulblight force.

    So other than very limited access to high rend (which is something not many other people seem to value) we do have a great army for 3.0.

    Also can anyone who has put the coven throne together some me from wasting money and tell how easy it would be to get rid of the vampires currently on it and replace with the new vampire lord stepping down or Prince Duvalle with his foot on the cauldron? I’m probably looking at paying someone to do it properly but just wondered on the feasibility. :)

    Another quick point... I’m assuming after everyone lost their minds Petrifex Elite will not be able to benefit from all the +1 to armour save stuff that coming?
