    I love the model but I also like to play fairly "competitive" lists that I can take to small tournaments. Overall she seems to bring a lot to the table. I keep telling myself you get 200 points of summoning from her so in reality her cost isnt as bad as it looks. 660 is pretty crazy.

    Was Gnarlroot changed in anyway or is it the same (based off what we know now without the tome)? The endless spells seem like a boost to Alarielle/TLA, but it seems like she was nerfed pretty hard.

    As someone who just bought a Sylvaneth army on eBay, I was hoping to get some insight from you all. Other than points have there been big changes to Alarielle? Was her melee dmg nerfed? Also, did Gnarlroot exist before? It seems to fit Alarielle lists well with a TLA and Branchwych for support. The endless spells seem good with Alarielle as well.

    Do you guys think the fact that Gutbusters arent in the new GH that is a good thing or a bad thing? It either means a new book or they are getting phased out right?

    Sadly, due to lack of warhammer/aos community in my area, I'm selling my BoK. https://www.ebay.com/itm/283505230732 Pm if you're interested. Tears of the blood god...

    As anyone tried a full MSU build for our army? MSU works well for us because of BloodTithe and also because our Bloodwarriors still get to fight before they die. So many scary things out fight us right now so maybe going MSU and spreading out the enemy could work? What do people think about something like the below. It's a lot of points into battalions but it's 3 drops and you can use the command points to shoot out the Bloodwarriors. I'd love peoples thoughts and CC. Is it too inefficient with 320 in battalions? Goretide: Chaos Lord on Manticore (250) Bloodsecrator (140) Slaughterpriest (100) Slaughterpriest (100) Exalted Deathbringer with Impaling Spear (80) Bloodstoker (80) UNITS 5 x Blood Warriors (100) 5 x Blood Warriors (100) 5 x Blood Warriors (100) 5 x Blood Warriors (100) 10 x Bloodreavers (70) 5 x Skullreapers (180) 5 x Skullreapers (180) BATTALIONS Slaughterborn (180) Gore Pilgrims (140) ENDLESS SPELLS / TERRAIN Hexgorger Skulls (40) Wrath-Axe (60) TOTAL: 2000/2000

    As a Seraphon player who is now getting into Stormcast (building Anvils list) I think people should try out some Skinks. They are not battleline anymore but they do all the things you are looking for. 10 bodies, fast, and super high bravery. The biggest thing is if you take multiple units and they get charged, one will die, but then you activate and get to remove an entire unit of combat. I plan on using some in my army. Do people have good reasons for not using them? I plan on bringing a 20 man unit of Sequitors and some skins to be my defense against charges.

    Looking at the BOBO 2019 results, a huge AoS Tournament with almost 200 people, is a little depressing. 1 Stormcast in the top 50 finishers (42).
  9. Warbossironteef
    Yeah unfornuately not many things in the game, including our units, can effective kill Hearthguard Bezerkers, unless you can kill their heroes. I think Fyreslayers is going to be an uphill battle. But we do have some faster units and can compete for objectives. You might need to try and plan some double pile ins and things like that to cripple those tanky units, but it won't be easy.
  10. Warbossironteef
    So I literally last week just bought a bunch of stormcast, most of it being 30 Sequitors, 3x Ballista and 6x Vanguard Raptors with Longstrike. Do you think I should be sweating right now because the new GH will bring nerfs/point increase? What is everyone's general feel about it?
  11. Warbossironteef
    Something cool that hasn't yet come up but I can see it working out sometimes is that the MantiLord can pile in 6. So if he is whipped you can charge in pretty reliably then you might be able to, with your pile-in 6, fly over a chaff screen and reach something behind it.
  12. Warbossironteef
    I think a Reapers BT is probably a better target for Sword, especially considering BTs get rerolls of 1 to hit. I like the DBlade on him because it makes him more well rounded and it relies less on getting all the buffs but I'm sure it could work.
  13. Warbossironteef
    The Lord on Manticore has 4 attack profiles, 2 of them are the rider's weapons. That means the Goretide Command Trait give plus +1 damage to two attack profiles. His main weapon lacks any rend, so you give him the Demsional Blade for -3 rend. Then his main weapon is 4 attacks at -3 rend 1d3+1 dmg (you can also swap it to the 6 attacks weapon) and his Lance on the charge is 4 FLAT dmg. He is cheap, fast, a mortal (can be whipped), has 4 attack profiles so +1 attacks and +1 to hit are great value and when compared to a BT his best two weapons never degrade as he takes dmg. He is only usuable in Goretide and with the artefact IMO, so in that way it's restrictive. I have high hopes that if Slaves of Darkness ever gets updated he will be even better (getting rend on his weapons).
  14. Warbossironteef
    Yeah I would like to go to 20 but the MantiLord only works with an artifact and I dont want to run a Rage BT without a + to hit artefact. 4s to hit is too unreliable. The Unfettered Fury is the cheapest way to counter strike first or strike last shenanigans. I dont plan on him being the biggest beat stick in the world, more a utility piece with a 22 inch threat range. Which is why I'd stay at 1950 instead of bringing the Icon so I have more CPs. I'd sell my souls for BWs to get more special weapons. It annoys me so much they wrote the rule that way.
  15. Warbossironteef
    100% about the BW weapons. Wtf is the 10 man per weapon?? I hate that rule Even per 5 would be a huge improvement and still fair.
  16. Warbossironteef
    Hi All, Do you think the below is a competitive take on Goretide? The extra CP point is great because it can allow you to fly across a whipped unit of BWs and then auto run your BT so that it has a 22 inch threat range. The Lord and Skullreapers follow up and both have the added bonus of being able to be whipped.

    Have people found any success with Paladors? The models are some of my favorite. At 200 they arent super killy machines but they seem to do a little bit of everything and could be a good utility piece. I'd imagine just running the shock axes makes the most sense. Anyone have any good tips for how to use them?
  18. Warbossironteef
    Has anyone here tried to combine Longstrikes and Ballistas? I'm new to Stormcast so below is just theory crafting. The battalion gets you an extra CP for double firing and if you positioned well you could use it on either the rerolling hits Ballista or Longstrikes. It also has some screening/movement tricks with the skinks and aetherwings. I had 2 questions maybe experienced SCE players could answer: -How do 5x Seq units perform? They seem efficient because they get 3 special weapons -What 2nd artefact would you take in the below list? Lord-Ordinator (140) Lord-Arcanum (180) 20 x Sequitors (400) 5 x Sequitors (120) 5 x Sequitors (120) 6 x Vanguard-Raptors with Longstrike Crossbows (360) 3 x Castigators (80) 3 x Aetherwings (50) (or 10x Skinks) 10 x Skinks (60) 10 x Skinks (60) Celestar Ballista (100) Celestar Ballista (100) Celestar Ballista (100) BATTALIONSHailstorm Battery (120) 1990

    Have people here tried using skinks in their lists? I guess the biggest drawback is more drops, but as a Seraphon player I know how good they are for 60 points. They move so fast and have 10 bravery, it seems like a great fit. Even for 2x10 units it could be worth it. I'd love to hear your opinions on why to take them and why not!
  20. Warbossironteef
    I think all the points on 30 man blob are valid and I'm sure it could work. I don't think the discussion is can it work, the discussion is, can a 20 man blob do what you want and give you more points to put else where in your army? I think in Goretide, that answer is yes for most games. I'd try both!
  21. Warbossironteef
    I feel like 30 man, disregarding the physical size of the unit, is too pricey, 600 points. I think 20 man is probably the max I'd run and IMO is the max number that makes sense. Maybe you could get 600 points of value out of a 30 man unit but a lot games you won't, so I don't like the idea of over-investing . But your mileage my vary!
  22. Warbossironteef
    Off topic a little, but does the community have any clues/feelings for when or if Slaves to Darkness will be updated? I feel like that update will be big for Khorne. My mortal lists seem to lack options in terms of a true hammer unit. Skullreapers are good board control but slow and Manti-lord is good but is close to BT range. BT's work okay in mortal lists, but if you run Goretide you really are losing the huge buff from Reapers.

    I almost lumped our judgements into magic... please don't hurt me
  24. Warbossironteef
    Welcome to the world of Hearthguard beserkers..... On paper, it seems like Khorne is going to struggle against that unit. I believe that army also has defense from magic which makes snipping their buffing characters difficult as well.
  25. Warbossironteef
    I need a quick ruling on Sword of Judgement. Was it ever faq'd that the 6 needed to be unmodified? Or is it just a 6, meaning 5's if buffed by our Slaughterpriests?
