    AoS 2 - Disciples of Tzeentch Discussion

    in Chaos

    Posted

    Played in my first tournament (it was a doubles tournament) setting yesterday and took 2nd place with my partner. I have to admit that I've been very leery about playing DoT at lower points values and am surprised it went as well as it did. 

    Spoiler

     

    Allegiance: Tzeentch
    Mortal Realm: Aqshy

    Leaders

    Ogroid Thaumaturge (180)
    - Lore of Fate: Infusion Arcanum
    - Artefact: Thermalrider Cloak 

    Gaunt Summoner and Chaos Familiars (180)
    - General
    - Trait: Arcane Sacrifice 
    - Lore of Fate: Bolt of Tzeentch

    Battleline

    10 x Chaos Warriors (180)
    -Handweapon and Shield
    -Hornblower
    -Standard Bearer
    -Mark of Tzeentch

    10 x Tzaangors (180)
    -Brayhorn
    -Icon Bearers

    Units

    3 x Screamers of Tzeentch (100)
    3 x Tzaangor Enlightened on Disc (140)

    Battalions

    Endless Spells

    Balewind Vortex (40)

    Total: 1000 / 2000
    Extra Command Points: 0
    Allies: 0 / 200
    Wounds: 74

     

     

    With the  game being small and objective based and only having minimum Enlightened, I brought the Ogroid instead of the Tzaangor Shaman to use his spell in the hope of spawning Brimstone Horrors.  I used the screamers to screen him from the front and followed up with the enlightened behind. Thermalrider Cloak was quite nice in that regard. I used the Chaos Warriors for Arcane Sacrifice targets since they have the 5-6 up save vs. Mortal Wounds.

    New Years Hobby Resolutions 2019

    in Age of Sigmar Discussions

    Posted

    I was pulled back into the hobby after a roughly twelve year absence, so i have no prior resolutions. Being overly ambitious and picking up far too much has resulted in an extensive collection of unpainted plastic that I desperately need to work through before looking at new models again. I have everything I need to play the armies I want at the moment, so hopefully the allure of new plastic stays at bay. 

    Pledge:

    100 dollar budget per monthfor picking up necessities for finishing an army; mostly paint, basing materials, magnets, maybe endless spells if absolutely necessary. I might reward myself if I reach various milestones, but I'll figure those out elsewhere in more detail.

    Expand my GW paint collection. I actually quite like them now, even if I wish they were in dripper bottles, and my old Vallejo game colors seem to be separating after being inert for several years.  

    I have that obnoxious, overarching goal of finishing all of my unpainted models, but I am not going to hold my breath on this one just yet. I can however, focus on a large chunk of my collection and finish my Tzeentch. I play DoT/Thousand Sons, and already have plans and parts for working my way back into Beasts of Chaos (where my interest in Warhammer started way back when). Finishing these models would take out a large chunk of the workload I have made for myself. 

    Outside of everything Tzaangor flavored; I have almost 3k points of Nighthaunt if I count all of my multiple characters from the starter sets, about 1500 points of Khorne Daemons, and a good 1500 points of Admech received for the holidays. There's a lot to go through. 

    There's a lot to paint. I'm (hopefully) going to be busy.

    So, between my SO and our local Warhammer store doing a secret gift exchange sort of thing, I have suddenly found myself in the possession of two LOC.  GW hosed the thing with the point cost though, and I am unsure if it's worth it to use one to build Kairos, keep two plain LOCs, or see if it's possible to exchange one to finish off an army.  Is it at all possible to magnetize Kairos? Has anyone tried?

    Technically that was from back in the day prior to the Battletome ... and all of the ARCANITES had the additional S.

    They have a similar issue for BRAYHERD vs BRAYHERDS.

    They list “Brayherds” in the Allies list ... but there is no “Brayherds” Allegiance. It’s Brayherd.

    And there are “BRAYHERD” units ...

    It isn’t in a current faq, but I recall that the addition of an “S” didn’t actually change it ... in the original Tzeentch battletome “ARCANITE” and “ARCANITES” as keyword bold was used in several places.

    The top of the Command Traits List is “Tzeentch Arcanites” ... for example.

    The one of the Familiars gives you a base +1 to cast ... without needing to kill anyone btw.

    So if it works by RAI, is it just a matter of Azyr being finicky? In that case, are the familiars compatible with the Balewind Vortex? Or does the GS and Vortex being the same model disrup coherency?

    Yeah, it seems really arbitrary,  but I also suppose it answers what would have been my next question with regard to the balewind vortex. The rules changes  for 2.0 have me looking at using my Tzeentch stuff for AoS instead of just 40k and I picked up the GS on a whim. Means I don't need familiars anymore, so it all works.

    That depends on the Gaunt Summoner you are attempting to add the Command Trait to. (It would have to be your general.)

    The trait is a TZEENTCH ARCANITE Command Trait.

    For example, the Gaunt Summoner on Disc (from Everchosen) doesn’t have the ARCANITE keyword.

    Yeah, I have it set to Gaunt Summoner and Chaos Familiars as my General. Switched it back to regular GS and the trait is available. Shame, would have preferred the latter. 

    Thank you!
