It is finally done. Even after Archaon this beast was a bit challenging. Especially metal parts. Wings, in opposit, the most easy part

Anyone have been thinking about taking Beasts into Khorne and Nurgle armies already?

I'd it worth buying any pusgoyles I have 20 blightkings now but am curious if pusgoyle are worth taking in large numbers? 

A bit of the math. 

You can take 6 pusgoyle for 600 pts. And you definatly will need a Lord of Affliction. Batallion probably is not worth it. So it 820 pts. They indeed can get turn one charge. But that is all. 40-man blob of skeleton - they are going to fight at least three turns, if your enemy are not going to do with them anymore. They can't discore objectives because of their small number. Legions of Nagash, Nghthaunt, Fyreslayers, Daughters, another Nurgle - they can't do anything. 30 letters will kill most of the squad. 

Instead you can take 20 blightkings and they actually can deal damage without any buffs. For just 620

How tall is the WoK Bloodthirster (including Base)? Want to buy a transport box for my army.

around 40 cm with wings I presume

[AoS 2 - Blades of Khorne Discussion]

Yes, I am blind. So still 3 damage per attack is possible

2. Chaos lord on Daemonic Mount w/ Immense Power and Deathdealer. In a Gore Pilgrims list he'll usually have 5 attacks hitting on 3s (rerolling 1s) which do a mighty dmg4 each. His command buffs his posse of Chaos Knights, who also benefit a lot from the expanded Portal of Skulls (+10 attacks). He also provides a handy Locus for Letterbombs, has a 5+ MW save, and has Look out, Sir!. Difficult to ignore with dmg4, but also not trivial to kill. 

Sadly, this guy don't have Bloodbound or Daemon keyword and cannot get such traits or artifacts

[AoS 2 - Blades of Khorne Discussion]

Still didn't found anything that Crimson Crown cannot stack. Like neither was said, that it can, so at least in our meta we still play it with stacking. 

Also I tried NOVA list with 4 bloodthirsters and 20 flesh hounds with karanak and two batallions. On NOVA there was not so much bubbles of skeletons or nighhaunts. In that case this list would never be on the first place because these guys can do a lot damage, yes, but not so good against hordes. 

And there one thing... Zombie-dragon with 3++ invulnarable because of the artifact and who reroll all his hit rools. It kills Bloodthirster in statistic or at least severe wound them, so it is difficult for them to fight back. As well as they have a hard time to get through that 3++ save. Only bloodletters can deal with him without big trouble.

I want to put Archaon in a 2000 point list, thoughts on this?

 

Archaon - 660 points

Harbinger of Decay - 160 points

Lord of Blights - 140 points

Sorcerer - 120 points

20 plaguebearers - 240 points

3 x 5 blightkings - 480 points

3 plague drones - 200 points

 

135 wounds 2000/2000

 

The problem that there is not so so many synergy around. 3 squads of blightkings with lord of blight and no blightcyst? You don't have good casters, so with good denial you unlikely can cast anything. 20 plaguebearers are not enough, kill 1 and the buff is going down. And just 3 plague drones will do exactly nothing, better take blightcyst. 

Here is my list I am going to use on our local tournament

Archaon (General, Plague squall)

GUO (bilesword and massive blade, Tome of Thousand Poxes)

30xPlaguebearers 

30xPlaguebearers 

5xChaos Warriors (mark of Nurgle)

Allies 

Lord of Khorne on Juggernaut 

Endless spell - Chromatic Cogs 

 

1940/2000, 114 wounds

Thing here is that Archaon now can kill on two 4+ any hero or monster. With 5 attacks and after charge it will be very likely. Chaos warriors are for some home scoring and we have additional command point

Someone asking army list with four Thirsters 

[AoS 2 - Blades of Khorne Discussion]

Yeah, I saw these. And in 2017 version there was the rule about 6 or more and now it is gone but with no other rules in its place? And that mean the rule is no longer applied then?

I found an interesting combo in this faction.

Wrath of Khorne Bloodthirster under Bloodsecrator will get seven attacks. We give to Wrath the Sword of Judjement artefact, which give d6 mortal wounds for each roll of 6+. Two priests will buff him +2 to hit and then we put some daemon hero with crimson crown (a second batallion requied, but Gore piligrims will do perfectly). In the end we can get 7 attack, which in 4+ will do D6 mortal wound and generate another attack. It is under 14D6 mortal wounds. And Wrath of Khorne is rerolling hit rolls against heroes. But the case is that Nagash is probably going to kill him by returning mortal wounds on 6'. Or severely damage him. But it is fine.
