Well these point cuts are a breath of fresh air. Loondrinmaster loondrinmaster attack squad battalion. frigate-cannon frigate-cannon arkos x 10 arkos x 10 gunhauler- drill gunhauler- drill gunhauler- drill endrinriggers x6- shooting endrinriggers x6-shooting endrinriggers x3-shooting. 1990 points. Built to play objectives, doesn’t have many eggs in any one basket, decent amount of shooting, hopefully.

So how do you play as eldritch council then? You arnt grand alliance order because you can’t take anything that doesn’t have eldritch council keyword without it being an ally. Your faction is eldritch council in this instance, not grand alliance order barak thyrng can be your faction if the whole army shares the keyword, plus your allies allotment

In this case isn’t your faction barak thyrng? They all have the same keyword, barak thyrng. So how are they allies if they share the same keyword?

They don’t look nice at all when it’s a dude laying next to his base. The magnet on the dude end wasn’t the problem, it’s keeping them from popping off the super smooth surface of the flight stand. I clipped mine to be a flat surface but it really needs a bit of green stuff to make a cap to hold the magnet to the flight stem.

I too magnetize my endrinriggers to their flight stands. Drilled the magnet into the seat of their pants though I highly recommend green stuffing a cap around the magnet you stick to the flight stand. Mine didn’t hold up with just super glue.

I like your first list

I’ve been finding out it’s a bit of a trap. Shooting armies that are super squishy might not do well jumping into ppls faces and daring your opponent to fail an initiative roll. I need to start laying back more, letting the enemy come to me. Flying high when the enemy does get there, hopefully weakened. Will be more betta dropping lanes by then too hopefully.

You should be more concerned about the bound endless spell mechanic the lizzys have. Only they can move predatory endless spells. Yay for even less interaction in the magic phase!!!!............./sigh

Yes sorry. Meant to say increases to hit on the attacks of the endrinmasters, thunderers gun butts and admirals own swings

Hold my beer.. Egg basket of death Barak urbaz Loondrinmaster- grudgebearer admiral navigator-flarepistol endrinmaster endrinmaster riggers x 3 riggers x 3 riggers x 3 ironclad- skyhook, ebullient thunderers x 20, cannons, decksweepers, rifles Eggbasket comes down, navigator paints a target, thunderers pop aether gold to reroll wounds, ironclad charged using skyhook bonus, admiral increases endrinmasters attacks, gun butts and admirals swings +1 to hit, endrinriggers bubblewrap the ironclad. get the doubleturn, win.

The lightning vortex from skaven, the suffocating gravetide from slaves to darkness, wildfire Taurus of beastmen, the stormcast everblaze comet. Emerald lifeswarm kinda.

Im not sure what you mean. I meant using our ko in a tempest eye list. Would you like to compare the strengths and weaknesses between te-cos and ko?

It’s hard to do any calculations right now other than seeing how good our ****** gets with a few tempest eye buffs 😃

A unit of 3 gets a discount aye? Sorry didn’t realize, I’d only ever considered them in individual units. Not sure 3 in a unit is going to super effective. Their guns are so short range ive been considering them as disposable.

The gyrocopters are 70 points each do not 3 for 180... 50$ a pop is pretty spendy but they are a must have if you are thinking about switching over to tempest eye (as I am) seeing as how they are good and cheap and you need 12 units in an army if you want 3 kharadron units im making the price more palatable by imagining how awesome my custom loondrinmaster is going to look made out of the spare gryobomber bits.

Skywardens are only maybe as good as riggers in a barak zar list. Definitely worse in all others. I wouldn’t get carried away building skywardens, deff not more than what you want for an escort wing list when you flesh out your force. If you just have to have some thunder in a boat but dont want a frigate and 10 thunderers then maybe 5 in a gunhauler. Zilfin loondrinmaster arkos x 10 frigate- omniscope gunhauler- compartments thunderers x 5 hearthguard berserkers (allies) i personally would take a Knight venator instead of the berserkers but you wanted to use models owned.

Zilfin endrinmaster with dirigible- tough as old boots, ocular staff (on weapons battery) frigate- cannon, omniscope arkos x 10 arkos x 10 gunhauler- torpedo endrinriggers x 6 drill cannons and volley guns. 1000 points. 1 unit of arkos to deploy on home objective, everyone else kites like crazy, play the ranged game, drop off arkos on objective with the frigate once the enemy is shot up enough. Endrinmaster, gunhauler and endrinriggers should be a pretty significant flanking force at 1000 points. Go forth and profit

Has anyone thought about putting 5 units of min thunderers in an ironclad. Gives you a lot more shots at the expense of an aethergold token.

Would a Knight venator count towards my 4-1 kharadron ration?? its not an ally in azyr but it doesn’t naturally have the cos keyword. Thanks!

I’m back!! endrinmaster on balloon huricanum runelord knight venator Battlemage battlemage Longbeards x 10- shields longbeards x 10- shields irondrakes x 20 gyrocopter x 4 gunhauler x 2- drill cannons Would love to hear some opinions

the only barak nar list I’ve written that I didn’t hate was a iron sky command full of loondrinmasters, you could take brokk in that if you wanted. Try and get down to just a cpl drops. Dont forget your thunderers are battleline in barak nar

All that stuff is cool sure. I’m not going off cool factor though I’m more worried about effectiveness and efficiency.

Well 100 points plus the spell cost and the relic slot and the opportunity cost. You would have had had to pay for that everblaze comet before hand and hope the enemy bunches up. Even after you tell your opponent you are paying for one. Then you have to compare the potential damage done from your spell to the potential damage added from say the flare pistol on a navigator. Or the ocular staff on a loondrinmaster, whatever you are not taking that you could be taking instead I too am not sold on the spell in a bottle. plus who wants to buy the skaven endless spells and stormcast endless spells or the mortals endless spells just to cherry pick the one that’s decent for us to maybe find out that hey, not so great after all. I get that ppl have second armies and if you have them go for it but the mechanic just seems pretty gimmicky to me.

One of the admirals relics allows him to use a free command ability every turn. The proclomator mask hailer. Requires you to use a command ability on the admirals warscroll.

I like the optimism. Keep in mind they teleport 9 away but have 18” range. Thats a lot of screening to keep an 18” bubble clear. You can screen your deployment all day but what happens the first time you fly high? Not enough bubble wrap in the world.. how much offense/ synergy are you giving up for a little bubble wrap that is only saving you for 1 round of shooting?
