I cant seem to locate this. Was it a reply to someone's comment?

I have been using the Bt of IR in my past 5 games. I pair him with WOK and take Reapersof Veng. The rest of my army is mortals and make use of the Slaughterborn Battalion. With proper screening from Blood Warriors or Flesh Reavers he should get you to where you need. If shooting is a problem there is the Ethreal Amulet or Wragged Cloak. I understand that sometimes this is not enough even, but making my opponent prioritize their targets has won me victory after victory. Let's see do I shoot the thirster with the big axe, the one that's stopping all my magic, or the 3 units of Skullreapers coming toward my left flank. Something will reach enemy lines, and with said screening and relics, usually a lot hits enemy lines. If he gets there he's the perfect bomb. The look on your opponents face when everything in 8 inches starts taking mortal wounds, and that's before the damage happens. Then with Reapers, he gets to go twice, which often makes up for that random damage value. In my last 3 games he has been the MVP.

Hello all. We are going to try the rules for meeting engagements this Friday during our weekly game. We usually play smaller games... 1k to 1500. I play Blades of khorne and am really excited for this new format. The first thing that jumped out at me was the table size. Both armies should be clashing in no time at all, and Khorne cares not where the blood flows.... I'll give my impressions of how the game went after. Sorry not more to add for now... but really looking forward to this!!!

Because sometimes you dont need to attack in the hero phase, and you need to summon bodies to take an opponent's backfield objective. There is no putting someone down for picking one chart over the other. Both are useful just depending on what the mission and situation requires. In my last game I summoned a skull cannon and attacked in my opponent's herophase.

It's a Creature Caster model... the Lady of Stife. I put her on the oval Bloodthirster base and I added the axe and whip from the WOK Bloodthirster. Thanks though... i appreciate the compliment. Her name is Purgatory.

My Bloodthirster

I am new to posting on this forum, but I have been using it as a tool to become a better player. I have had a lot of success at 1500 points in my local meta against Shooty Stormcast, Nighthaunt Hordes, Nagash. Snowball Beastclaw, Flesheater, mixed order, and Idoneth Deepkin. I know it's a limited meta, but I thought I would share nonetheless. Here is the list I use... Reapers - Shyish General WOK Thirster Mageater - Ethreal Amulet or Ragged Cloak Exalted Deathbringer Spear - Skullshard Slaughterpriest Bronze Flesh Battle line 10 Bloodwarriors Fists 5 Bloodwarriors 5 Bloodwarriors Other 5 skullreapers 5 skullreapers Slaughterborn Comes to 1440 which gets me a triumph, extra command point, and the army is only 3 drops. Screening with the small warrior units with counter charges by skullreapers works wonders for me. Bronze flesh goes on 10 man to hold an objective. With the battalion, it very difficult to shift this unit off its said objective.I completely shut down the magic phase with my bloodthirster and good placement of the skull altar. 2 unbinding attempts at +2 and - 1 to cast is where it's at. Ethereal amulet or ragged cloak, good deployment of the army, and if I'm lucky... reroll saves triumph, keeps the bloodthirster alive for him to do what he needs to. I find we can often take the enemies punch and deliver an even more devastating counter punch. Skullreapers are absolutely amazing for this. Bloodwarriors are good with fists and no respite to punish the enemy for even attacking them. Dont be afraid to use the bloodtithe for summoning either. I've won several games summoning a unit of 5 dogs off the altar to take an enemy objective when the rest of his army is committed to my advancing force. My army is very command point hungry as the bloodthirster wants to fight twice and reroll to hits, so I've even used the bloodtith for the extra command point. The ragged cloak is amazing against ballista ******, and it gives you a psychological factor in determining the enemies setup. I cant say it enough... skullreapers skullreapers skullreapers. They are the backbone of this force and one of our best tools available. At 2k I'd take 2 more squads to fit in the battalion and a bloodsecrator to give them more attacks. I've won 9 games straight with this variation and I'm looking forward to taking even more skulls in the name of the bloodgod!!

Been having some success with this list. Nagash Necro Cairn Wraith 30 Grim Reapers 40 Chainrasps 2 Morghasts 5 Wolves Spell Portal Comes to 1950 for extra command point. I know.... no Skeletons, but Rasps are harder to take apart. They dont deteriorate as much as skeletons and have decent damage output with Nagash buffs. People seem to be down on Morgasts due to non summonable, but that extra attack and being battleline is hard to pass up. They are a great hammer, and a decent distraction opposite the big guy. People tend to ignore the Cairn Wraith, but he packs a small punch and another hero is required to spread deathless minions. With the right relic such as the Sword of Judgement, this little guy could end up being quite a surprise. I could maybe drop 10 Rasps to fit in a Lord Executioner, but i think 40 is a good number. In the end, just trying to think outside the box a little.... Plus the army looks great all painted up with the new units.
