    Yep, that's right.
  2. The_Yellow_Sign
    Yes, Taurus would work, IIRC. I believe that they ruled that it's about "layers of application" when it comes to abilities that cause you to fight first/last in the combat phase.

    I've actually heard from someone at Creature Caster that their next release (announced around the end of this month or early next month) will be Beasts of Chaos-related, and based on our conversation I got the impression that it might be a Shaggoth. So there could be a really awesome Shaggoth model coming very soon!

    Cheers! Yeah if you're not interested in playing competitively then should be fine. For Dragon Ogre-heavy army I would personally suggest a Great Bray Shaman with either Tendrils of Atrophy (if you plan to take a Balewind Vortex) or Vicious Stranglethorns to sit around your Herdstone for sacrificing, and then fill out the rest of your army with Dragon Ogres and a couple Shaggoths: one with Sundering Blades, and the other with Hailstorm. I would use units of 6 Dragon Ogres as hammers, and units of 3 as screens.
  5. The_Yellow_Sign
    I personally run 6 Dragon Ogres in my list to defend the territory around my Herdstone so that they get some much-needed rend/save debuffs from the Herdstone. They're fast and also pretty tough for a Beasts of Chaos unit, with a 4+ save, good wounds/model, points per wound, and two ways to be healed (tied roll-off or Shaggoth spell). They're decently killy as well if buffed by a Shaggoth, though less killy than Enlightened or a horde of Bestigors. I don't think that an all-Dragon Ogre army would be competitive, but it would be fun to play and would work well in casual games. They're really cool models so it would look great on the table. Here are 6 of mine that I'm painting (just need to do the metal bits):

    Good luck! I like the 6 Skyfires and 6 Enlightened; that's what I usually run when I'm going for a Tzeentchy list. The only questionable choice is Cogs here, because it will benefit your opponent as well and reduce your speed advantage. Not necessarily a bad choice though.
  7. The_Yellow_Sign
    I'm pretty annoyed that they turned yet another unique character into a golden poster-boy. Bleh.
  8. The_Yellow_Sign
    No, that's a very bad idea.
  9. The_Yellow_Sign
    Get a Tzaangor Shaman to buff the Enlightened; +1 to hit makes a huge difference to their output. Also, swap 10 Gors for Ungors. Almost no reason to ever take 10 Gors except as a tax for Desolating Beastherd.
  10. The_Yellow_Sign
    There's already a lot of rock-paper-scissors in the game though: Sylvaneth and Idoneth make shooting armies mostly useless, Arkhan and Nagash counter magic, Nighthaunt counters high rend and Beasts of Chaos herdstone and spells, etc. Gore Pilgrims wasn't the only competitive Khorne list by the way: Council of Blood has also been popular.
  11. The_Yellow_Sign
    What I would personally like to see is GW making Khorne more anti-magic focused, maybe even allowing them to counter enemy prayers as well. There's already so many armies who's playstyle is fast and hard-hitting, so they need to take Khorne in a slightly different direction than just "Chaos DoK".
  12. The_Yellow_Sign
    I wish Beasts of Chaos got a box set. Would have been nice to get a plastic hero like a Shaggoth, Doombull, or Beastlord.
  13. The_Yellow_Sign
    Yep, just scroll through recent posts in the Beasts of Chaos facebook group; he made a post there.
  14. The_Yellow_Sign
    I have a feeling they picked these images intentionally though.
  15. The_Yellow_Sign
    Jesus Christ more Stormcast?!
  16. The_Yellow_Sign
    Their poses are actually pretty dynamic: you just have to use terrain on your base to make them look like they're climbing over rocks. For example, here's one that I'm working on (just skin and scales have received paint so far):
  17. The_Yellow_Sign
    He's 400 points though. I think he's fine just where he is.
  18. The_Yellow_Sign
    Yeah the Dragon Ogres (barring Shaggoth) are beautiful sculpts, and look even more awesome if you do a bit of basing work to repose them.
  19. The_Yellow_Sign
    KO finished 11th out of 200, and only because he lost to the champion in the final game. Also, the difference between 2nd and 11th was miniscule since they were all on 5/6. The only player who went 6/6 was the champ.
  20. The_Yellow_Sign
    Considering that KO were one game away from winning the biggest AoS tournament ever held (CanCon 2019) and only lost to the champion in the final, I don't they're too badly off. They also won a GT in Japan a few months ago, so they're definitely not a bottom-tier faction like Slaves to Darkness, Everchosen, or Dispossessed. I agree Ironjawz are not in a good place though.
  21. The_Yellow_Sign
    I'll be so annoyed if it's another Stormcast box set...
  22. The_Yellow_Sign
    Darkoath Chieftain is available: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/darkoath-chieftain
  23. The_Yellow_Sign
    Idoneth are also elves, so there's two elf factions right now.
  24. The_Yellow_Sign
    Yeah I think you're right that there's no probably no models on the way. Very surprising for Skaven since they have so many old kits, or kits that are no longer available (Island of Blood weapon teams).
  25. The_Yellow_Sign
    I really hope they stay in. Though the kits were only available in Island of Blood, they are beautiful models and a pretty important part of Skryre thematically.
