  1. @Stroke he specifically talked about a double turn so don‘t get rude if you don‘t understand what he is talking about. efit: the spell would be great if it lasted until the players next battleshock phase
  2. I am still hoping GW will introduce a subfaction that allows S2D to include other mortal Chaos units into our allegiance abilities (blightkings, Ssyl’esske, drones, bloodwarriors etc.). I‘d really love a „mortal Grand Alliance Chaos“ vibe ^^ (I really dig those models but I am not fond at all of starting those armies)
  3. That‘s not the issue. Cabalists can move an endless Spell if the ritual succeeded at THE BEGINNING of the hero phase, that is BEFORE you have summoned any spells. You‘d really bank on a double turn for that to be useful. yeah Gaunt summoner Spam is always good, yet S2D should not require gaunts everytime if they want to cast...
  4. My issue with cultists is that they focus too much on their sacrifice mechanic: wasting CTs for it etc. while it misses the point: we need more wizards with 2+ spellcasts. There‘s also no way to make a non mage a mage (you can only make them „unbinders“). Additionally the way I understand the endless spell movement mechanic you can‘t use it the turn you summon an endless spell since it happens at the start of the herophase. - honestly, WHY. So many cool ideas and then they don‘t build upon them at all. I get a similar feeling with Archaon and his Mark mess: why didn‘t they just make himself never benefit from any mark BUT always radiating every chaos mark? Now he has to awkwardly pick one while forgetting his other marks? Daemon prince: it feels like these were meant to be wizards (points wise etc.) and then the designers thought „mhm who‘d ever pick a sorcerer now?“ so they Gave the sorcerer his awesome ability but forgot to add the wizard rules to DPs? maybe it‘s just me but the book feels rushed?
  5. They propoably simply have a better understanding of color due to their background ^^. But nice story Edit: NVM I just reread the study! Females can see more colors than males. (Which means more shades of a color) now I am a sad panda 🥺
  6. I don‘t get it: why don‘t they all simply have the undivided mark? as fun as this army is to play there‘re so many design decisions that (imo) make no sense and are a bummer if you recognize them. I hate having cool models that perform like a wet noodle that cost as much as a gold nugget. anyway I‘ll just try hard to play every unit I like in a way that might make it useful ^^ edit: - Daemon princes (of Tzeentch) can‘t be Wizards - Knights suffering from the rubber lance Syndrom and a „low“ armour save. - Warriors being bland objective sitters - Cultist Heroes and Units having no interaction whatsoever with the central rule of the Battletome (marks) - badly needed model updates that did not happen - generally overcosted „armoured“ units. - Circleless Varanguard if they‘re used in a sub faction other than HotEc - The requirement of having a hero nearby so a mark OF A GOD has any effect.
  7. It‘s not. That line makes sure you have at least one hero so you can‘t spam 8 Chaos spawns for the battallion
  8. They‘re worth 140 at best. 160 if they can use the lances AND the swords. I will never get why the knights have no 3+ armor though... edit: about the battalions: just add a marked Chaos spawn, it‘s a 50 pts unit to fill the battalion
  9. I‘ll occasionally put my Ogroids on 60mm bases (magnets ftw) and use them as daemon princes.
  10. The Sphiranx and the Fonoroid can have their uses ^^ I also couldn’t resist the Ogroid Myrmidon - I even build an army list around him, just so I could use him in a meaningful manner (I‘ll get stomped but whatever xD)
  11. They‘re okay but overcosted ^^ (and somewhat too weak for what you’d expect of them lore-wise)
  12. It‘s been an absolute Star in every game I used it in so far
  13. You are right. But the heck!? I am rather certain my box did not contain that head
  14. Aha. the Dark skinned Warrior is pretty obviously female.
  15. Wrong. It includes two female heads for the Chaos Warriors. on a different Note I‘ll be trying to rock this semi-competetive List at the end of the month (when my Sphiranx arrives) it‘ll include almost all the Models I want to play:
