Not sure we do. 48" threat range archers that don't need LoS and can fish for mortals. Amongst other stuff 😢

I have just started an all snake DoK army. Technically they are elite units, but can be opened up as battleline with the correct general. I'd be pissed if I had to add in non snake units to the army to make it matched play legal because battleline rules had changed, it would ruin the theme of the army. Battleline is fine as it is. Some are good some are bad, same for elites, same for heroes, same for behemoths, etc...

The cauldron is going to be a FW dread maw, with bits added on 🤪. The both sit OK on a 25mm. I thought it would be a horrendous amount of overhang, but it's really not to bad. I've attached some potato camera pictures to show how they'll sit. 3 of the snake bodies can work on 25mm, 2 definitely can't. I figure if I bend the very end of the tail up a bit, then it will help stop it preventing getting other bases into contact. Thanks for the positive feedback as well @Graywater & @DJMoose. Much appreciated. I will keep posting up the progress as it goes.

So working on my snake conversions. Am I likely to ever need 2 slaughter queens or 2 hag queens?

Finished the first tester mini yesterday on my all snek lady army. 1 down, 49+ to go 😂.

@Graywater So I've played against DoK lots before GHB20. How has the army changed with the new rules in GHB20, such as ward saves not stacking, etc...

@Graywater thanks for all of the tips. The plan is to convert the slaughter queen and hag queen to have snake lower halves, so they'll definitely be in the list. I'll look into suitable snake lower halves for the khinerai, as they seem useful. With the allies, is taking stuff like the an Incantor worth looking at for having an auto dispel?

But BCR have might means right for objectives, which is how you win games

Hello Everyone I've been lured in by the new snek lady from the preview. I've always liked the snake lady models and seeing the preview I'm wanting to do a pure snake army now more than ever. I have some conversions in mind to keep everything snake related (or as closely snake related as possible). I know that with the current rules available, a pure snake army won't be competitive, but that's not my main aim (obviously being able to hold it's own would be helpful 😄). As my DoK battletome is on route from the online shop and the 4chan tactics site is currently down, I thought I'd ask some questions to help tide my brain over: - With the current rules, what's the best way to run pure snakes? eg. temples, artefacts, etc... - What is the best unit size for both versions of the snakes? - Is the medusa general better on foot or with the cauldron? - Is there any allies that would be worth considering to help patch some of the holes a pure snake army might have? Thanks in advance for the help

@Neck-Romantic I've scratched my head so much that I'm currently scratching the inside of my skull as I've scratched away the rest of my head

@Btimmy it's so bad it's depressingly hilarious 😂. First your squishy 5-6 wound hero must survive a round of combat from the previous turn in order to meet the set up requirements. Secondly you must beat the units bravery with a single D6, giving a 1/6 chance to activate if the target unit has bravery 7. Whilst anything bravery 8 or higher is immune 😂. And that's including our army wide -1 being added. I have scratched my head for 2yrs+ as to why it's only 1d6. If it was 2d6 it would still be bad but would have some potential.

Best bravery based element is our command trait Terrifying Entity. Super OP cheese feast. I banned myself from ever using it after just one game because of how effective it was and the negative play experience it created for my opponent. (please note that the above comment is sarcasm)

I honestly feel that cogs is a trap. Trying to get a 9" charge from a deepstrike is too risky. Cogs makes it a 7" yes, but it's normally then active with extra movement going into your opponent's phase, and having stuff like 16" moving eels with a +2" charge (or anything else having the +2" move & +2" charge) is painful to stomach when it then hits into you, as we don't have the resilience to survive that kind of onslaught Personally I find that the teleporting dreadblade is great for bringing units out of trouble or setting them up for getting where they need to be in the next turn.

I'm curious why you chose Lady O as your general and not a dreadblade? The movement shenanigans of the dreadblade and the generic command ability to draw units to the general is one of our top, if not the top, movement shenanigan. So what was the allure of letting the lady led the pack?

So Duke Crackmarrow and his crew (Underworlds warband) have Hollowmourne keyword. This is rubbish (should be morgaunt imo). Has anyone managed to get him to work?

and it's unlikely that we ever will. A definite answer means a potential loss of sales, as why invest in content that has a limited life span, especially if it's only a year at best. By being vague AF and not committing to a definitive answer it allows GW to sell rules and models with inbuilt obsolescence. The amount of NH players who invested in hexwraiths due to the Dec WD, as those battalions allowed the army to vaguely function again, and they were taken away without having the chance of seeing any real tournament play. Yes covid affected over events, so why they didn't they choose to make an exception to let them roll on for another year? And the OBR ones were Feb WD, so they were basically pointless page filler

So how are people finding the new battleplans using stuff like leaders, battleline & behemoths to score objectives, bearing in mind that due to the FAQ summoned units don't get a battlefield role and Gristlegore takes away the behemoth keyword from our non GK beasts? Is there any tricks and tips that people have found useful?

This is information that I have gathered from asking some GW staff who are personal friends with some of the rules team. It isn't hardfact, has never been defined by GW themselves and the staff I asked also agreed that there has been no clarity on the issue and there should be some. But when you look at the two options of being either: Option 1 - means when an older publication relates to those specific rules that have been replaced, such as the 2 mercenary companies first being published in FP, and then being updated in GHB19, meaning that GHB19 is the only place to use for mercenary rules, as the ones in FP are an older publication. or Option 2- Every single rules publication ever produced before GHB20 is completely invalidated as they were physically published before GHB20, including battletomes, rules books, expansions, etc.... Although as clear as mud with the language they have used, it's clearly not the intent that every book ever released before GHB20 is invalid and not allowed with player/TO consent. A glossary of terms really would clear up so much of the sloppy rules from GW and no 40k is not an excuse for sloppy rules for AoS

GW's term of older publication, relates to the same rules that have been updated in a more recent publication, rather than a set of rules that was published before (which is what the dictionary definition of older publication is, and yes it's stupid not to ever have this clarified by GW). So Greyfyrd Lodge and Tenebrous Court were updated in GHB19, meaning that the older publication for those mercenaries in FP were then replaced, meaning that they are no longer matched play legal without consent from your opponent/TO
