But..my inquiry wasn't about how to defeat Tzeentch It was how to effectively use Chaos Knights and Chaos Warriors or any of the other Mortal Units with Khorne Bloodbound, including the Chariots or any of the leaders. They just have some cool models and I was curious about their place or viability within a Khorne army. As I understand it, Khorne is probably in the same place as Ironjawz: Middle Tier. Not the worst, but definitely not the best. Just somewhere in the middle, aka "fine". In other words: for an army that's already not amazing, do normal Chaos units offer enough to bring or in any way enhance our list to boost them and make them stronger, or is it more dead weight to an already weakish faction?
-
I asked this in Slaves to Darkness, but I'll ask here, for all Khorne players to see and get their opinions: Is there any situation in which one might take Chaos Warriors or Chaos Knights? (Or any of the other dudes, like a basic Lord of Chaos, etc..) For me, personally, I'm having trouble figuring out Blood Warriors place in Khorne Bloodbound. I like the models a lot, I think they're really cool, but I find they're slow and often don't really make it into combat, and I'm not sure what to do with them. I've also learned to respect mortal wounds and things like Skaven with lots of mortal wound generation, the Chaos Warriors with their shields seem like a really tasty defensive objective holding unit. Thoughts or opinions on normal chaos boys place in a Khorne list as opposed to the strictly dedicated? (I don't play demons so I have no comment on any of the demon units.) PS: Is there any shooting or artillery units worth it for Khorne?

Take my “advice” with a barrel of salt, however: in the lore and like 3 seconds of reading I’ve done because I really want to collect this army it seems like they fight with Bleakswords out front, Spearmen behind those and then Darkshards behind those. So maybe trade 20 Darkshards for 20 Bleakswords or Spearmen as a screen to block charging? You can still shoot into combat unlike 40k. It might help?
-
Yes that was explained to me on my first game of AoS 2. As you can tell I have not played much AoS, mostly 40k but I like AoS more now. Between Khorne Bloodbound and Ironjawz I really think I’ve found my armies. Even though I started in September 2017 to GW Games starting with Blood Bowl table top, and I had an entire Khorne army, I only ever played 10 or less games. Now I’m trying to get Games in weekly because I just really love my Ironjawz.

I've read this sentence several times over, but is there any way you could say it differently? I keep getting mildly confused. What I *think* you are saying is that now, models need only be within 1", and not base to base, for their 1" weapons to hit, so it is now easier to use 1" weapons? Base to base contact is no longer strictly required?
-
That's a good point. I love the Mighty Lord of Khorne but using him would take me 20 over the cap unfortunately. However I could use a Bloodstoker.

Yeah, I like Blood Warriors are "ok" but I have a hard time finding a purpose or spot for them. My Skullreapers just murder everything in literal droves and I adore them, and my Bloodreavers are weak chaff, but they get consecutive buffs and can at least lay down a bit of hurt and fuel my blood tithe, plus they can grab objectives. They're disposable but versatile. Chaos Warriors to me are appealing because of that mortal wound save and they just feel pretty sturdy. I do like how when Blood Warriors die they're allowed to fight anyway, so they never feel wasted per-say, but they also never seem to be amazing. Chaos Warriors feel like they bring a unique amount of defensive tankiness that Khorne doesn't exactly have. That's why I had my eye on them. TBH I have a theory crafted list like this: Allegiance: KhorneMortal Realm: AqshyLeadersLord Of Khorne On Juggernaut (140)- General- Trait: Violent Urgency - Artefact: Talisman of Burning Blood Slaughterpriest with Hackblade and Wrathhammer (100)- Blood Blessing: Killing FrenzyBloodsecrator (140)- Banner of Khorne (Artefact): Banner of RageAspiring Deathbringer with Goreaxe and Skullhammer (100)Chaos Lord On Daemonic Mount (140)- Mark of Chaos: KhorneBattleline3 x Mighty Skullcrushers (140)- Bloodglaives3 x Mighty Skullcrushers (140)- Bloodglaives3 x Mighty Skullcrushers (140)- Bloodglaives3 x Mighty Skullcrushers (140)- Bloodglaives3 x Mighty Skullcrushers (140)- BloodglaivesUnits5 x Chaos Knights (160)- Chaos Glaives- Mark of Chaos: Khorne5 x Chaos Knights (160)- Chaos Glaives- Mark of Chaos: Khorne5 x Chaos Knights (160)- Chaos Glaives- Mark of Chaos: KhorneBattalionsBrass Stampede (200)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 1Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 151 I do not expect this to be the most competitive list, but I think it would look incredible as an all mounted force and might do somewhat decently.
-
I’ve been keeping my eye on Slaves to Darkness models because I really love how Chaos Warriors and Chaos Knights look. Is there any place for them in a typical Gore Pilgrims Khorne Bloodbound list of mortals? Are Chaos Warriors a good replacement for a defensive wall versus Blood Warriors? How about Knights? Anything else of note that could help bring something cool or new to a normal Khorne Bloodbound Army?
-
I can run this list if the GW store lets me borrow their endless spells, but I don’t think they have a spare Balewind Vortex. That’s also on my list to get.
-
When it comes to demons I have no idea. I don’t own any and probably won’t own any except Bloodthirsters. For some reason I just don’t like the Bloodletters Aesthetic and no matter how strong they are I can’t bring myself to run any.
-
I’ll do some play testing when I am able and see what happens. Really like Brass Stampede and Skulltake Battalions but I’m worried Khorne Bloodbound cannot function without Gore Pilgrims. I may be wrong.
-
So I don’t plan on playing in any tournaments but I would like to bring a solid all-rounder list as my local meta is fairly competitive. Things on my to-do list are: Get a Baleful Realmgate as well as a Fungoid Cave-Shaman and Malign Sorcery for endless spells. I chose my realm based on my Waaagh’s personal lore, but I have no clue at this point what general traits or artifacts I should be going for, I also like Ghur because it’s where Ironjawz are originally from based on what I can tell in the Battletome. Right now this is about the best list I can manage. What do you think? Realm: Shyish Leaders: Megaboss on Maw-Krusha (general) Megaboss Weirdknob Warchanter Warchanter Battleline: x5 Brutes with Dual-Choppas, Boss-Klaw & Smasha, Gore-Choppa x5 Brutes with Dual-Choppas, Boss-Klaw & Smasha, Gore-Choppa x5 Brutes with Dual-Choppas, Boss-Klaw & Smasha, Gore-Choppa x3 Gore-Grunta with Pig Iron Choppa x3 Gore-Grunta with Pig Iron Choppa x3 Gore-Grunta with Pig Iron Choppa Battalion: Ironfist
-
I had asked this earlier, but for the quick and short of it: Is it viable or worth it to run 2 battalions, mostly Gore Pilgrims + <insert Battalion> like Skulltake or Brass Stampede? Or would the points being invested in the 2nd Battalion most likely be wasted?
-
I was watching the Stormcast Podcast about Khorne and the guy mentioned stationing troops around Gravesites to neutralize them or something?
-
How do you guys feel about double Battalion lists? Are they worth it? I’ve got two lists I’m considering and I would like to play test them. List 1: Leaders Lord of Khorne on Juggernaut Bloodsecrator Slaughterpriest x3 80 point Aspiring Deathbringer Battleline: x 3 Mighty Skullcrushers x3 Mighty Skullcrushers x3 Mighty Skullcrushers x3 Mighty Skullcrushers x10 Blood Warriors x10 Bloodreavers x5 Bloodhounds Warwscroll Battalions: Gore Pilgrims Brass Stampede or: Leaders: Bloodthirster of Insensanate Rage Bloodsecrator Slaughter Priest x3 Bloodstoker Battleline: x10 Blood Warriors x10 Bloodreavers x5 Blood Warriors Warscroll Battalions: Gore Pilgrims Skulltake Other units: x5 Skullreapers x5 Skullreapers x1 Khorgorath

-
Which one? The burning head or the Geminids?
-
Whoops you’re right. I have 60+ Bloodreavers some with the re-roll blades and most with the Meatripper Axes.
-
Seems to me the best way to get those is through Slaughterstorm because then you get a bunch of extra stuff. Just not sure I need 3 whole Skarr Bloodwraths...
-
I have 14 with Gorefists and 30 with Dual Axes. I’ve got loads of Blood Warriors

Hey guys. Long time Khorne fan, I play them in 40k as well (World Eaters Space Marines). For some reason I hate Bloodletters, I think their heads look incredibly stupid, but I love Bloodthirsters. I don’t have any yet. However I have a massive Khorne Bloodbound collection from AoS 1. I love all the Khorne Bloodbound models. I think I’m in a position to run every single mortals Battalion at least for minimum strength. I have 1 Mighty Lord of Khorne, 1 Bloodsecrator, 1 Lord of Khorne on Juggernaut (the real one made of Resin), 3 Exalted Deathbringers (2 with Spears and 1 with the Gouge thing), 2 Scarr Bloodwraths, 2 aspiring deathbringers with Goreaxe and Skullhammer, 1 Bloodstoker, and 2 Slaughterpriests for Leaders. I plan on getting a Skullgrinder, Valkia and a few others like the 80 point Aspiring Deathbringer and the alternate sculpt for Slaughterpriest. Like I want a Chaos Warshrine. Then I have 3 sets of 5 Skullreapers, 2 sets of 5 Wrathmongers, 12 Mighty Skullcrushers but I want more I love their models, 60+ Bloodreavers, and 14 Bloodreavers with Gorefists and 30 or so dual-wielding and 1 Khorgorath. I want another but I don’t know how to get one anymore. Am I missing anything critical for my army (that’s not a demon and are they really actually super critical?) what list do you think I should focus on? I love Mighty Skullcrushers in the model but somehow I haven’t played with them yet. I just had a game play testing Skullreapers my first time and I absolutely loved them. Any advice or direction for me? I know I have a decent sized collection but honestly I only played maybe 3 Games in AoS 1 and only 1 in 2nd edition so far. Honestly I have almost no experience with the army I just love the lore and melee armies but mostly I play 40k.

I changed my list up to: 1 Megaboss on Foot 1 Warchanter 20 Ardboys with a mixed array, 2 hand, dual wielding 3 Gore Gruntas with pig iron Choppas 3 Gore Gruntas with pig iron Choppas 5 Brutes with Boss Klaw, Gore-Choppa and dual wielding.
-
It was 1000 points.

I’m feeling really frustrated right now. I keep playing against this Skaven player and I feel completely helpless. They have so much shooting and ****** mortal wound generators that they just literally get free damage. He never suffers the supposed draw backs of this alleged RNG, he just always seems to roll well and hit and do what he needs. Multiple times he’s deleted my Gore-Gruntas before they could even do a single attack, with mortal wound spamming and shooting. How the ****** do you deal with Skaven? They bring more wizards than we can, they bring more guns than we have period and they ****** mortal wounds like it’s their only source of nutrition. I triggered two full turns/combat round of smashing and bashing deleting 3 units each time AND I STILL LOST. He just shot my guys camping objectives and I was too far forward to run back so I had to go for HIS objective markers or waste turns backtracking. Do we have a counter to Skaven, or is it Rock Paper Scissors design and they’re rock and we’re scissors ?
-
You know I’m really new to AoS and I only ever played a handful of games in 1st edition and only 1 in 2nd edition, but as far as I’m aware battleshock bombing is like... a real strategy to configure your army around. I’m pretty sure all manner of Aeldari are good at it. Do you think it would be feasible as a different kind of strategy to make an Ironjawz army based on making enemies break in the battleshock phase?
