  1. Alright I‘ve tumbled through all of the warscrolls. Without counting in Battalions and Allegiance Abilities no Warscroll looks really strong apart from the gaunt summoner. I am a bit confused especially about the weapon damag values : The best weapon overall always seems to be the ensorcelled weapon with 3+,3+,-1,1 all the other weapon options lose too many attacks, hit too badly and or are conditional. Every 2+ dmg weapon loses at least one rend (most are rend zero) - surprising especially since it seems fine for Orcs to be 2+,2+,-1, +1 damage for entire hordes... So far the Warscrolls are a bit too tame and the new Krakadrak Chaos Lord made me go „Meh?“, Knights and Varanguard made me go „meh“ very hard...I expected more reliable punch. However there were some nice changes to the Slaughterbrute, the Mutslith changebeast and marauders. I haven‘t had a look at the chariots since I am personally not interested in them. the whole army has several ways to grant +1 to wound, hit, +1–3 to charges and Rerolls to armour saves and all hits and wounds, yet it lacks in damage and rend. it has mortal wound shrugs of 5+ on most units. summarized weaknesses according ONLY to the warscrolls: A lack of High damage attacks (2+ Dmg) weakness to rend, almost no access to good rend (2+). No Warscroll feels really strong. Too many units can grant similar buffs which makes some abilities redundant (a lot of +1 to hit and wound and rerolls). summarized strengths: A high volume of attacks with substantial buffs to hit and wound. (+1 mostly but most stats are 3+, 3+ anyway), high armor, mortal wound resistance. Sidenote: The Warcry warbands haven‘t changed afaik I am now very interested in what additional rules the Allegiance Abilities will add!
  2. Could one currently use the mammoth for Slaves of Darkness or was it moved to legends permanently? @swarmofsealsis there a size-comparison anywhere?
  3. I wonder if the new Battletome allows us to use the Chaos Mammoth since it has all the required Keywords.... (would be AMAZING). Also Mierce just launched an awesome mammoth! I imagine if GW had put out a massive plastic mammoth (they also appear in the AoS Lore) the internet would have thrown bars of gold at them XD
  4. Results of Turn 03! This turn took 3 Weeks and we had quite a lot of battles. Order fiercely defended the Lead Quagmire against two undead uprisings. Chaos smashed the undeads back into the dust on their path to glory while defending the corrupted touch with it. While Order was busy fighting off swarms of spirits and the Flesh Eater Empire's Legions, the Grand Host of the God of Death himself seized the opportunity to drive all living opposition from the Quicksilver's ascent. Meanwhile a Green and a Hungry Tide swept over the Gleam, smashing and feasting their way through the baffled ranks of chaos Barbarians who fled The Gleam which cut off the supply lines for further attacks on the iron fist coast. The next Turn will take two weeks and every victory grants and additional 3 victory points!

  5. I wasn’t offensive (only towards religion) and I don‘t disagree, I am aware that he is a combination of several real-world religions and or factions, yet imo I‘d prefer a bigger focus on the Nordic aspect. =}
  6. Thx! It‘s pretty much what I did though he has too many wounds on the board, I can‘t deal enough damage to get rid of enough Orruks so I stand a chance to win.
  7. Actually Sigmar has more with Odin and Thor in common than with any Christianity nonsense. They should focus on that. edit: I don‘t capitalize redundant, insignificant, dated overused terms
  8. That‘s a bit too 40k angelic (mini-Angels everywhere) though I like the artist‘s style. I‘d prefer if they drew less inspiration from Christianity since Christianity is in my opinion stale as hel (thx to every horror or mystery movie being about the classic devil, angels, god, god, god, god 🤢🤮, Jesus and all the other uninspired Apokalypse plots).
  9. I like the tidbits of lore they showed us so far. The only thing I really don’t like is the Battletome cover-image
  10. Daughters of Khaine (only 40 witches) because it is my only army that is mostly painted
  11. I might be wrong but losing 1-wound models does not generate any depravity points. you basically shoot his heroes and he has lost?
  12. I‘ll be using Spire tyrants and blood reavers as marauders.
  13. Ok that‘s fine (warchanter‘s should have an errata which changes their effect to this!)
