A couple things this weekend.
1. Friday, I picked up the reinforcements for my original purchase. 7 boxes of eels and Malign Sorcery.
2. Played my first game with
Volturnos
Soulrender - Death weapon with bravery check on hits of 6 for D3 MWs.
AoSea - Ethereal Amulet
1x20 thralls
2x10 thralls
2x10 reavers
1x3 Ishlaen Guard
Cogs
Geminds
Namarti Corp
A terrible loss. Barely even considered a game. Vs new stormcast and they came down from the heavens, surrounded me on 3 sides and just murdered my guys.
Fairly confident that reavers are trash unless you run them into melee. Using them at long range is garbage. I'd rather take a more durable unit for less points for objects or Khineri for objectives. Thralls never got a chance to shine. There weren't enough of them left after my opponents first strike and swinging into SCE 2-3+ save rerolling 1's isn't going to be good. The AoSea was disappointing. I failed every dice roll which is whatever but the last turn, I shot and charged and kill a dude. Fairly meh for 440 pts. I'd probably run tidecasters or spellweavers like mentioned earlier in the thread.
3. Built my friends new Nighthaunt army. 2 Soul wars boxes worth, a 10 man of something and the new push fit banshees. Really easy and fast kits to put together. Something like 80 models in 4.5 hrs with mold line cleaning and a little gap filling for 2-3 models that just would not push together. I almost bought them last weekend but after looking at there rulebook, glad I didn't. It's a great army, very durable, lots of MWs but it's just another melee army and I have enough already.
4. Probably going to stick with my plan and buy a DoK army in a month or 2. I love elves. Malekith was the greatest thing ever. I want all the new elves. They also look much better from a competitive viewpoint compared to Deepkin.
