    This list won a 50 man tournament in Copenhagen back in February. His list had also won another tournament in Sweden. 

    It's good. Definitely viable.

    Thank you so much for finding that list! I'll only need to buy 2 boxes of guard, a Liege-Kavalos and the endless spells. All of which I like the look of. Excellent :)

  2. Hallo friends,

    I currently have Arkhan as well as Nagash and I was looking through the Legions of Nagash roster and thought to myself...these old models kinda suck.

    But luckily I can use both of these heroes in the bone daddies army.

    So is anyone able to tell me if there is a viable build for Ossiarchs that includes both Nagash and Arkhan? Or should I be building a list around one or the other of these heroes?

    Thanks!

    I don't like that giants can be taken by any army. They loose their uniqeness.

    Anybody knows what happened to Aleguzler Gargants Colossal Crushers box? It seemed like a good deal. Hope it returns or GW creates a similar box.

    Does anybody know how tall are new Giants? Like 4 liberators one on top of the other? Predictions in inches/mm?

    Way bigger than 4 liberators imo.

    Honestly, I am expecting that the "everyone can take a gargant" rules turn out to be a bit of a dud with the broader community.  The mercenary rules overall have not made a huge splash.  There are a few armies and builds where mercenaries are a good choice, but choices from your army are still often better.  That is the ideal place to be in and I expect that is where Sons of Behemat will end up as well.  This game is just not set up for a single model to make that strong of an impact on an army outside of allegiances unless there are some crazy rules involved.  The only way I can see giants making an outsized impact with other armies is either if there is some rule that lets them gain allegiance keywords with the armies they join and then get access to weird buffs - or if they have some weird potent new abilities on their warscroll that cannot be accessed any other way. 

    Would be hard to balance for sure. If they benefit from allegiance abilities then there will probably be some broken OP combos. If they don't benefit from allegiance abilities then they will probably be on the weaker side when it comes to matched play.

    Oh well, I just want to see some epic conversions to match people's armies!

    There’s one AoS model that I see as relevant, the rogue idol, the only thing that’s a big useful threat as it can get buffer by both Bonesplittaz and Ironjawz makes it grossly overpowered 

    I reckon you could kitbash a rogue idol pretty easy. Scam World sell it for $160, insane.

    I genuinely can't imagine why anyone would buy the Bonegrinder from this point on, Forgeworld or Citadel. It's an awkward, gangly, monkey-faced trash fire that looks like it was sculpted by a child when it's standing next to that amazing mega-gargant kit.

    I've no doubt it's someone's aesthetic, but I just can't imagine putting them on the same table.

    In my mind forgeworld is largely irrelevant, be it for AoS or 40k. Don't care what models they do or do not make, whether they have rules, whatever. I don't want overpriced boutique resin with unreliable rules.

    So is there consensus opinion that the Chungus Lord brings more to an average (mostly)Mortal Khorne list than a StD Daemon Prince? I have a hard on for the Daemon Prince's command ability. So much so, that I want to take the crown on one, so it can use that command ability every round, to stifle the opponent's objective play. Haven't tested this idea  yet, but maybe that's why I'm not seeing how the Chungus Lord brings more to the table.

    Personally I just prefer Chungus Lord's model. By a mile.

    I know lots are not wanting this, but the Stormcast really need a new book.  For the protagonists of the game, they are in a very poor place.  They deserve to work a bit better than they do.  Hopefully we will see something in the preview (although the Gargants would be my first choice 😁)

    Maybe some new rules in a campaign book or something to boost up their competitiveness. Haven't they had like 4 battle tomes so far?

    I strongly suspect that they intended to announce 9th edition at Adepticon but are trying to delay that announcement until they have a bit more certainty about restart dates. That’s probably why the 40k news has felt a bit lacklustre so far. 

    I know that 40k is off-topic but how would 9th edition work? Would they make all of the previous psychic awakening and vigilus stuff redundant? What about all of the codexes they spent so long updating?

    8th edition is so bloated right now but would seem strange to me to just cut the cord on all of that bloat so quickly. Personally I'd never buy a campaign book again if they did that (not like I buy campaign books anyway, hehe).

    If there's one thing GW know will sell it's more Space Marines, so we can probably and safely assume the "Models you've been looking forward to for for years!" is referring to more Primaris.

    I'd bet money on that, yep.

    Well, I've not been in Warhammer for a year, but I'll still assume female order humans and dwarves.

    I'd like to see new human models in general, male or female. Would give me hope that Cities of Sigmar is something that'll be around for the long term.

    I‘d like more unique Stormcasts, yet I dislike the Space Marine Release approach.

    How about not opening a new chamber but already opened chambers evolving? 
    - New dynamic Liberators with heavier armor and Helbards

    - Dracoth Knights = Paladins on Dracoths with huge helbards and hammers. Super heavy elite shock cavalry with impact hits and dynamic poses

    - A Azyrite chariot. (Ballista or two Paladins on top?)

    - Liberator phalanx with a once a game spear throw

    - Overall more dynamic Stormcasts and a beta rule which grants all of them +1 hp

    - Prosecutors with differing heights, so they can be played while keeping the 1“ cohesion.

    - Sigmar 

    Love to see all of this happen as long as it's held in the 1 battle tome for Stormcast.

    Space Marines have a Codex plus Codex Supplements, unique characters for most chapters, not to mention the more unique chapters (dark angels, blood angels, space wolves) that have their own Codexes. It's insane, especially when you look at how neglected most other factions are in comparison.

    The space marine chapters all got a primaris  special character release with their supplements. 

    Would love to see the same here. Release the stormhost sub books with 1 special character. 

    Dear god please no.

    I think most AoS players are glad that Stormcast haven't received as much attention as Space Marines lately.

  12. Okay, so the consensus is that Lord Chungus on Giant Iguana gets the dimensional blade, Bloodsecreator gets Thronebreaker's Torc.

    I like the idea of 3 more skullcrushers instead of 10 reavers and the khorgorath.

    You could fill them with Marauders as you need a third battleline then and the Rest is up to you. I personally would go with 40+20 Marauders, so that you have 4 threats your enemy has to deal with. 

    I wish marauders had decent sculpts. I can't bring myself to buy them when they look so dated.

    What do you want out of playing Slaves to Darkness?

    Do you want a cool army of Chaos Warriors and Knights, lead by a demon prince or a big, beefy mounted leader, walking in and going toe to toe with your opponent? 

    Yes!

    On 3/31/2020 at 10:55 AM, readercolin said:

    Do you want an army that includes a bunch of the warcry warbands making an impact on the battlefield? 

    Yes!

    Do you want an army that  consists of big blocks of chaos marauders, teleporting around the board and then charging in to slaughter whatever they run into?

    Eww, no. Old models are no bueno.

    Do you like Archaon, and want to see him lead his Varanguard to victory? 

    Eh, no, not a fan of Dorghar's model and the Varanguard cost too much ($170 AUD for 3 horsemen).

    On 3/31/2020 at 10:55 AM, readercolin said:

    Personally, I bought in to slaves to darkness because I like the aesthetic of the heavily armored warriors and cavalry charging towards my opponents and fighting them Mano e Mano.  After 3 months of playing the army, I'm going to finish painting them and then set them aside, because their performance is so poor on the battlefield.

    Well that saved me some money at least. I'll never understand why GW give good rules to goofy models and bad rules to awesome new models. What's so hard about achieving some kind of balance?

  14. Thread seems a bit dead...!

    How about a good ol' fashioned list critique?

    I want to make Mortals work as I love the models and don't particularly want to spam Bloodthirsters and/or reapers of vengeance.
