[A Quick Overview: Beasts of Chaos and Chaos God allegiances]

Hey guys, sorry if it has been answered already, but I´m going to play a Depraved Drove battallion with my Slaanesh Demons, and I´m facing some insecureness about the use of magic lore for my Great Bray-Shaman. As far as I interpret the FAQ and designer commentary, the BOC gain both allegiances (BOC and Slaanesh), so in my understanding, the shaman uses a spell from the lore of twisted wilds, sicne ther HOS battletome has only lores for daemons and mortals.

I wrote my list with battlescribe and didn´t get any failures, but Azyr didn´t let me choose a spell for the shaman (But we all know how well Azyr works sometimes...).

So, it seems, I don´t know what´s the right way, and since GW just did an update on BOC and HOS, there will be some time until the next.

Thanks in advance

I did some modifications to the Yncarne from 40k myself. Added a large demonette claw (from a seeker I think) some demonic stuff protruding from her etc which I think works well. Definitely has a good slaaneshy vibe.

 

Here's the only photo I can find of her. I should try and get a better one.

My gosh, that's amazing! Thank you ?

[AoS 2 - Hosts of Slaanesh Discussion]

Hey guys, to expand my Slaanesh demons (atm 500 points), I´m thinking about adding a daemon prince (Additional to more seekers and daemonettes). I´d like to make the prince a princess. I guess the lower half fits okay, and I´d do some bewbs from green stuff, I´m looking for some ideas to add a female head. I searched through a big bunch of GW´s models, but haven´t found a fitting head. Has anyone an idea for an affordable head?
I also checked some third party models, but I´d rather keep it mostly GW based.

Thanks in advance

It’s still very powerful but if you want to charge the Soul Cage victim with 3 units you just need to make sure you get another couple of charges off elsewhere. 

 

I guess when you deepstrike some units around it (9" distance) and you´re lucky enough to roll a 10+ for the charge, you´ll cause some serious mayhem. But for this, the target unit needs to be seperated from the other enemy models.

[AoS 2 - Nighthaunt Discussion]

I have the german Battletome, and for me it´s pretty clear that it means the caged model is the last unit the enemy can activate .

The command abilitie is used at the start of the combat face and Only last during that combat face.

Yes, im aware of this, but nontheless, you attack two times (1 after the charge on normal attack profile, and regulary in your combat phase, but this time with additional +1 attack per modell), and this will give the other player a really hard time with ~100 attacks. That was what I meant.

I´m thinking of a little conversion, since I´d like to add Doomfire Warlocks to my roster, but want an all female army. My idea is to use the DW horses, but as riders I´d take Sisters of the Thorne, and use some bits from the Witch Aelves. In addition, I thought that the old drakespawns would be nice as mounts for them (as long as it´s okay for my opponent to have drakespawn with horse rules on the table).

For now, this is just an idea, but I´ll want to do this in the near future. I´ll keep you updatet.

How does 1 GoS return up to 12 with spectral lure? Is the spells effect done twice if the casting roll is 10+?

I played him as the Chainguard batallion, which allows to add d6 modells additionally to Spectral Lure.

I just cant seem to break from 2 torments and a GoS. The redundancy helps the late game and it starts to make your opponent grit their teeth at up to 6 models coming back / hero healing on their own turn

I also played 2 Torments + GOS +2x 20 CR (Chainguard). You could clearly see the desperation in my opponents face. to hit on 3+, reroll to hit 1s and also reroll to wound 1s. Also the ability to bring back up to 12 modells via Spectral Lure is such a pleasure to play.
Buff the CR with the mKOS´ +1 attack and roll a 10+ charge and you´ll get a special place in hell.

Hey guys,

 

today I had my second match with Nighthaunt, and first with 2000 points. We played the triumph & treachery battleplan and my opponents werde Beastclaw Raiders and Stormcast Eternals.

I played following army list:
Allegiance: Nighthaunt
LEADERS
Knight of Shrouds on Ethereal Steed (140)
- General
- Command Trait : Ruler of the Spirit Hosts 
- Artefact :  Midnight Tome  
- Lore of the Underworlds : Shademist
Guardian of Souls with Nightmare Lantern (140)
- Lore of the Underworlds : Spectral Tether
- Infernal Lantern (Artefact) : Beacon of Nagashizzar
Lord Executioner (80)
Spirit Torment (120)
Spirit Torment (120)
Arkhan The Black Mortarch of Sacrament (320) - Allies
UNITS
20 x Chainrasp Horde (160)
20 x Chainrasp Horde (160)
8 x Glaivewraith Stalkers (120)
10 x Hexwraiths (320)
4 x Myrmourn Banshees (80)
3 x Spirit Hosts (120)
BATTALIONS
Chainguard (120)
TOTAL: 2000/2000     EXTRA COMMAND POINTS: 1     WOUNDS: 118
LEADERS: 6/6    BATTLELINES: 4 (3+)    BEHEMOTHS: 1/4    ARTILLERY: 0/4
ARTEFACTS: 2/2    ALLIES: 320/400

Besides some rather stupid mistakes at deepstriking and charging, the list played out pretty well. Arkhan managed to kill the BR general with his curse of ages in the first round and got me my first victory points from my secret objective. The Stormcast player with his 3 Ballistas was quite frustrating, and he got the win with 27 VP, opposide to my 25. Last but not least the Beastclaw player only got 11 VP, so I´m pretty happy with the outcome of the match.
My biggest problem so far is to keep an eye on all the buffs, proccs and synergies of the Nighthaunt. Sometimes I forgot that I can reroll to wound rolls and such things, but I guess this will get better the more I play.
