wanted to share a list I'm going to play this weekend. Finally finished painting Archaon and my plastic GUO. I am set on using those models + glottkin, just for fun. Harbinger seemed like the next best thing to go in there. There's not much room after that, so I put 2 units of blightkings and all I had room for was 5 chaos warriors... Spells/Artifacts seemed pretty straight forward but let me know if you disagree. Blades of Putrification on Archaon with +2 attacks is an average of 4.5 MW, for anyone wondering....(27 average attacks, almost as good as a unit of 10 BK without deaths heads... if you can even get all 10 BK into combat...) I figure i will summon groups of 5 plaguebearers at every chance to chase objectives or slow down / harass enemy units, while I just try to table my opponent basically. The biggest risk is having 7 drops and getting shot at before I can use HoDs command ability. Allegiance: Nurgle LEADERS Archaon (660) - General - Lore of Foulness : Plague Squall The Glottkin (420) - Lore of Malignance : Blades of Putrefaction Great Unclean One (340) - Bile Blade & Doomsday Bell - Artefact : The Witherstave - Lore of Virulence : Favoured Poxes Harbinger of Decay (160) UNITS 5 x Putrid Blightkings (160) 5 x Putrid Blightkings (160) 5 x Chaos Warriors (90) -Hand Weapon & Shield TOTAL: 1990/2000

hey guys. The 2017 GHB was very clear that you could not add models to a unit past the original size of that unit. The 2018GHB has very short rules for matched play, and this is not there. It's not in the core rules either. Some rules, like Nagash's deathly invocation, return slain models to a unit. The Plaguebearer icon bearer however, just "adds" models to the unit. So, in AoS 2.0, can I exceed the starting model count for a unit? Does it matter for a unit at 10 vs a max unit of 30? If not, if you can point me to the rule, errata, or Q/A please

I don't think seraphon needs any help generating interest. It's one of the most popular ranges. It's also one of the largest. Second most warscrolls after Stormcast? Think of how many factions have nothing so far in AoS (not even first battletome). Sure, Seraphon have a few resin models, but it's mostly plastic, and they have a hard time keeping a lot of it in stock. I think we are a few years off still.

Um what's your math on the engines? I calculated 35% chance per engine to get 20 skinks. So you'll get on average 20 a turn. It was much better before kroaks command ability nurf. Once your engines take some wounds it will shut down their summoning, you have nothing to really protect your heroes... Very easy to miss on all 3 engines for 2 turns (8% chance. Much higher to only get 20). Fun list tho

Actually like the Gork/Mork Rumor, few thoughts: 1. Orktober - Are they serious about the whole month being green dudes? Or is this really just speedfreeks and a battletome? 2. Goblin book I get. Moonclan, Spiderfang, other goblins have good flavor too. Orruk book. I don't get. Ironjawz and Bonesplitterz each have a tome. The other orruks are old and don't have enough flavor to survive. We don't need a book covering all the orruks...

Can you give us anything else? We still waiting on that Seraphon battletome from you BTW. Same source?

Yeah, I mean 40k you've got 10 factions of space marines and 4 factions of evil space marines...

Underworlds is not AoS. Sure same universe from a hobby perspective, but from a gameplay perspective even though they give you a warscroll, they aren't really that viable. We have no idea what Wrath and Rapture even is, beyond it's in the AoS universe and features Slaneesh vs Khorne. Why are you predicting it comes out this year? Basically we are getting a battletome. Everyone here was hyped about getting a full faction refresh or two which seems like it may not happen.

I think every nurgle player would buy the warband just to have some unique blightkings (the kit is great, I have 20 that look pretty unique, but 5 truly unique sculpts sounds good too!)

Hey guys. Been collecting a while, slowly. Managed to snag a Cauldron kit and a Blood Coven on ebay this week, so I am technically at 2k. I am not sure how viable my collection is though, so I wanted to run it by you guys see what kind of list I could make. I have: Morathi 2x Cauldron kits 10x unassembled Aleves 10x Sisters of Slaughter 10x Witch Aelves 5x Melusai Blood Stalkers (obtained them assembled ? have bits can maybe convert) 5x unassembled Melusai 10x Unassembled Khinerai 10x Warlocks My play group is flexible with WYSIWYG so I can play witch aelves / SoS , Melusai either way, etc as long as it's not too confusing. It's definitely 2k worth of stuff, but if I use Morathi as general (does it make sense to play her otherwise) then I have minimum 10 unit battlelines . If I use Bloodwrack Medusa general I can run a block of 30 aelves/SoS and 2x10 Blood Sisters... What Hero combinations make sense?

Nurgle has a SC box, the Blightwar Box, and has been focused a lot lately (40k Deathguard, Rogue Trader, new Blood Bowl Team). As a Nurgle player, I think it's time for a breather from Nurgle At the same time, I have a hard time seeing them putting 2 Order Aelf battleforce boxes out at the same time. They did release them back to back, so maybe I'm off there. If they want a GA Chaos one, Nurgle does seem most likely (unless they do a Beasts of Chaos box!) Someone mentioned somewhere that Slaneesh vs DoK would be a great box set fluff wise, similar to a Blightwar box. I don't think that would happen for 14-16 months though (have to wait a while after Slaneesh release). That may make them hesitant to do a DoK battleforce box. I really hope we don't have to wait too long for some sort of DoK love though. More Blood Coven, SC box, reboxed witch aelves, Battleforce, they need something!

Grots Wednesday?? Or something else https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/08/27/24th-aug-warhammer-community-at-the-nova-open-reveals-previews-and-top-table-actiongw-homepage-post-2/

For drone heavy list, Lord of Afflictions makes a great hero, he counts as a Daemon so can keep up with them to buff them. You can also convert one with a blightking and a plague drone, just have to chop the legs up some and maybe make him a greenstuff saddle=)

2x10 per turn with hardly any luck. But they aren't as great with 10. Id rather summon a troglodon or bastilladon turn 2... But I guess I'll learn what works.

What do you mean mass skinks.. slann can only summon in blocks of 10 right?

Hey guys. trying to come up with my first Seraphon list(2k) . Been collecting them for a while but this will be my first time playing them. I want my list to include Engine of the Gods, Astrolith Bearer, and a Slann. The rest I'm pretty flexible on. For the Slann I have Kroak and my play group is fine with me playing him with either warscroll. After the nurfs though I'm better off with a Starmaster. I'm currently looking at a Fangs of Sotek list: LEADERS Slann Starmaster (260) - General Engine of the Gods (220) Saurus Astrolith Bearer (160) Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur (260) Saurus Sunblood (120) UNITS 40 x Saurus Warriors (360) -Spears 10 x Saurus Warriors (100) -Clubs 10 x Saurus Warriors (100) -Clubs BATTALIONS Sunclaw Starhost (130) Fangs of Sotek (70) ENDLESS SPELLS Balewind Vortex (40) That's basically the minimum reqs for the batallion + AB + EoTG + BV, with 1 unit of warriors pushed to 40. I have 180 Points left and am considering: Troglodon 10x Guard - can summon Eternity Warden on turn 2 if my Slann seems threatened 10x Knights These are the rest of the models I have in my pool not in the 1820 points above: 15 Guard 100 skinks 15 knightsBastiladon 3 terradon riders Bastiladon Troglodon (or another Carno) Skink Starpiest / priest (got lots of skink bits to make either one) OB on foot What do you guys think. And how do you envision such a list working? What am I trying to accomplish? Thanks

That's the second role model comic (in 22 comics released) that features grot scuttlings. I think the chance we see them in the new grot line just went up a bit!

They've already revealed and previewed Space Wolves codex. And new GSC models. They need a big warhammer reveal. Something no one is expecting, although most of us are expecting it.

the mention of fanatics makes me question the validity of this post. The fanatics are pretty decent models, exactly inline with the normal grots. It would be weird to replace one and not the other.

A batallion in a 1k list seems like a terrible idea to me. costs 20% of your points. Also does not leave you room for much else... 160-180 points, so you can take 1 more small hero or a 4th blightking unit. I mean.... 20 buffed blightkings in a 1k list doesn't sound THAT bad but I think you may want at least 1 spell.

The problem with having two is now you're only 1 more away from trying out that batallion...

The left hand meaning the empty/bile blade / flail hand? Since it's empty for rotigus and his only weapon is in the other hand, I would think it would be fine to have a bileblade or flail there and just magnetize the other arm. I doubt anyone is going to complain if your rotigus is holding a dagger in addition to his warscroll weapon.

they look similar, but some of those are sharp with a lot of angles. The new one is very rounded and does look a lot like the bug on the cave shamans staff. I think it's possible we have 2 very different things here that they are trying to make look similar. All signs point to Slaneesh and Moonclan. Out of the last 17 or so rumor engines, over half of them could easily be moonclan and several look Slaneesh. I bet the moonclan reveal is imminent, after that we can see what's left and I bet there are a few that hint at Slaneesh

I got to summon a GUO a couple of weeks ago on turn 4. It's pretty pointless, as most games are tied up before or during round 4. In this case I may have had a chance if he made his 9" charge, which he didn't. (If you don't make the charge, you essentially are summoning it on turn 5) I usually just summon 5-10 plaguebearers and let them run around for objectives. It's nice to run a hero towards an objective and then summon the PBs 12" closer to it. Can be a life saver when you need to go get an uncontested objective across the board that would take you 3 turns to reach otherwise...

Yep and if you do not want to magnetize right away, just simply use small dabs of plastic glue (not super glue) for the 2 hands, the head, and the maw. that way, you can get to playing quicker with less effort, and later on when you are ready to try a different config. the pieces will break off easily and you can magnetize.
