Hi everyone! I have a tournament in a couple of weeks, and I want to start painting, but to do that I need to figure out the list first 😛 what do you think about this one? What would you change? I play woth aking and soulscryer and not volturnos so I have more heroes for the missions that gave more points etc. Rest is pretty much self explanetory but I could give more insight if needed. What changes would you do on this list? And sorry for any grammar mistakes english is not my first language.

So what does the most obnoxious, npe, tournament winning OBR list looks like right now?
I was about to ask the same, although I would have probably verbalize it differently
I have a tournament in February but have to send the list next week and I have no idea what to play yet, so I was thinking on looking for lists to play.
I think about the one on the previous post, mainly 3x20 mortek, Arkham Liege soulmason, and the shield corps. Not sure yet on the extra 400 if go with 6 stalkers (less drops and more focused on killing big thingsa and taking advantage of the extra atacks) or 2 crawlers (2 snipe heroes and units in objectives).
Is there a better option to go semi blind? I would test the list a lot before playing the tournament, but unfortunately I havent played much before sending the list and I havent figure out the most optimal list yet... Thanks!

Hi there! Dont know if you wanted confirmation, but I've just received the dice in Spain. They look amazing, photos really dont make them justice, they are great! And thanks for everything!!

Hi there fellow Ossiarchs! I was just wondering, the lack of information yesterday means that the earliest we will have models available is the Halloween`s weekend correct? Next weekend we will have the announcement, one week of news and information, then they go on preorder and available the following weekend. Im sad because that will mean I wont have them for a tournament November 17th (Im not sure Ill have time to build everything, not talking painting) but I guess it makes sense to release the spookie units around that holiday.

Looks good @miguel_fernan, although If I were you I would try to thin down your paint with water, and paint your miniatures with 1-2Thin coats of paint rather than 1thick coat.
although if you’re painting with contrast 1thick coat will usually be enough.
Thanks! I already do it, or at least try to thin down the paints, I would add more water and go for 2 coats
thanks for the advice!

Hi everyone!
This is my first time participating in this iniciative and honestly Im really excited, Im gonna try post pics about my progress to get motivation to continue my work, even though my painting lvl is pretty noob as I just started into this part of the hobby.
In anticipation of Ossiarch Bonesplitters release, where Im gonna be heavy invested, I figured Im not gonna have time to anything else in the next couple of months other than building, priming and painting this army. So im gonna challenge myself to finish my 1.5k list of Gloomspite Gitz, and finish my models for my Ossiarch army to a more advanced lvl than tabletop.
Im gonna do my contract for:
1 arkhan and mount. They are tabletop lvl now, im gonna do layers and give my first try at highlights. It would be one of the centerpieces of my army, and I want him to be the best I can do.
2 morghast. Same, layers and highlights. They are now tabletop lvl.
3 Rockgut trogoths. Going for tabletop lvl, they are right now only primed.
6 rockgut trogoths. Going for tabletop lvl, but they are pretty much finished now, only missing a couple of details (they have tons xD)
2 Dankhold trogoths (one regular and one trogboss). Tabletop lvl, now only primed.
2 wizards from goobalpalooza to use as fungoid chamans, tabletop lvl, now only primed.
10 boingrot bounderz, tabletop lvl, now I have 5 missing only a couple of details, the other 5 only primed.
The bad moon scenery, tabletop lvl, now only primed.
I think is a good list for my first month with a painting contract and I will for sure need motivation as I dont have really much time to paint with my current job. Lets see how it ends.
Im rooting for all of you, keep the good work!
Hi there and good afternoon!
Since it is the 10th and I just finished my Dankhold Troggoth (ended going with full paint following the Warhammer TV video) I figured out it is a good time to post an how Im doing post and to receive feedback and motivation. Sorry for the potato photos, all were taken with my phone.
I ended up not touching morghast and Arkhan (yet) as I wanted to be optimal with the use of my paintings, and that werent going to be used in other models yet. So progress 0%
And as for the gloomspite, lets go to show them! Family picture
3 rockgut trogoths (tabletop). Skin almost finished, base finished. So around 25/30% completed.
6 rockgut trogoths (tabletop), unless im missing small details, finished. A little bittersweet because Im xtremely proud of my bases (first time trying to do something special and I think I nailed the rock efect with the cardboard) but really dissapointed with the faces, as Im pretty sure the colors I choice dont go well together.
2 Dankhold troggoths (tabletop). I would call this 80% completed. Once is fully finished (with the warhammer video) and the other has layers on the skin (but not really like it, is a technique I definetely need to polish) and rest of detailes have base colors and shade pretty much all of them. So with a couple of more days of work, and finishing the base, it will be over.
Completed (and pretty) one
Not so pretty one
2 gobbapalozza wizards to use as fungoid (tabletop). I would say 70% finished one, 20% the other. The almost finished is because I love the model, and put much effort that on the other one. But honestly Im gonna have to fight the urge to finish it at a better lvl because I love it, and that would made me not finish the contract
the other one
the 10 boingrot (tabletop). I honestly dont know what to say
I would call them finished, but I dont like the ropes as black and Im thinking of doing test in some of the bits of the rockguts (the gobling hanging). That would put them at 70% and again I wont have time to finish everything on time for the Ossiarchs to arrive. So dont know what to do. Somewhat happy with the end result.
And last the moon (tabletop) only advanced in the bigger parts, so 20% completed.
Overall pretty happy with my work this first full third, and my games are looking more awesome now with less grey. But my confidence on ending everything prior to receiving my first Ossiarch to build are going down xD. Im loving the contract this far though because is the boost of confidence I need to pick up the brushes and just get the work done, and overall Im learning tons looking for new techniques and asking for feedback.
Speaking of that, anything goes and pretty much say wherever you want, im fairly new to painting but I love learning and any comments are welcome.
You all keep the good work, there is still plenty of time and you can do it!! And thanks for reading!!

Hi there and good morning! At least morning here in Spain.
So im gonna do the payment withing a couple minutes after breakfast and I have 2 quick questions. Well first of all and obviously, are there still dice left? Gloomspite gitz ones, Im gonna pay for 40. And second, I dont need to do any kind of conversion from Euros right? That PayPal will allow me to choose currency. It is going to be my first manual pay through the platform and Im not sure if it is necesary that I do the conversion.
Thanks!
Edit: Money sent, I hope everything was correct

I absolutely love the model - it's such a joy to paint as well... on the tabletop, though:
- 1000 pts: don't even think about it - seriously, go for Lady Olynder instead (what you get for a few points more... amazing stuff).
- 2000 pts: I've tried him in multiple occasions, with very mixed results. The main problem with this lad is that he's utterly unreliable. Sure, he can deal an impressive amount of damage (chiefly against the enemey general...), which is an ability something that NHs sorely miss. However, you can't really count on him to deliver consistently. But then, what are you left with? Seven rather squishy wounds, no buffs to anybody around him, and very erratic "I've stolen your CP on a 5+". Not great...
I have recently tried to swap Kurdoss with 5 blood knights (same pts!). Alright, they are not as good as they are in LoB (they're still not summonable and tricky to heal there too, though...), but the punch they can deliver on the charge is something way more reliable than Kurdoss. You can deepstrike the latter turn 1 against the enemy general, but any decent opponent would make it impossible - and there you have it, that lazy Craven King ambling on a 6" move. Conevrsely, blood knights move 10", typically 12" in NHs (if you're not running the cogs, you're not really playing NHs).
In a nutshell: amazing model, real fun to play with (when he spikes, man, he really spikes...), but not reliable enough, in my very personal opinion, to be included in what people would probably call a competitive list (assuming such a thing makes sense as we speak with our beautiful flimsy ghosts).
P.S. All of this coming from a relatively new player currently losing an awful lot of tournament games with NHs, so take it with a grain of salt!
Thanks for the detailed answer!

How do you guys feel about Kurdoss? Played an event this weekend and got a credit store coupon as prize, and it is the only unit Im missing from the army. Could get more harridans or anything similar with it but I love the aesthetics of this model. Thanks in advance!

Hi there to all! Not a regular here because Im mainly Nighthaunt player and only recently started playing LoN and Sacrament in particular, but had a mini tournament this weekend (12 participants) 1.5k and was able to finish 3-0
pretty happy with my result, the list was pretty straightforward with Arkhan, VLoZD, abhorrand allied and chainrasps and reapers units. Truth to be told I also was lucky to face armies with low mobility and won all games by points (round 1 Khorne, round 2 ironjawz and round 3 nurgle). But Im liking the army a lot this far!

Guys I'm pretty new to AoS and I have a nighthaunt army. When you say a nerf or a buff or change the rules of some unit what does it mean exactly? Every year they change all points values?
Im only been playing since Soul Wars, but as far as I know, every year they release a book called "Generals Handbook". This year it will came around June if im nto mistaken. And in that book they add tables with the updated profiles and the cost in points for matched plays for all the allegiances. I think they can change rules, make some anotations, and yeah the more important is that they tweak the point costs.

What would it take to make Nighthaunts top tier? It seems we are low man on the totem pole for death
Remove one word from one of our habilities, and we become really good (maybe top tier). Just make wrath of terror 10+ charge. Cogs will mean we get an additional atack every 8+ charge. That is just nasty. +7 with the black coach batallion. That is just my opinion though.

So now that the FEC battletome is out, could the Archregent be a decent allied choice for Legions lists in general. 200 point 2 cast/unbind wizard is something we don't have access to otherwise, and he can do a once per game summon of another character (probably not very useful outside certain missions), 3 horrors or flayers, or 20 ghouls. And we can never have enough bodies in Legions.
I was thinking just that. In fact, I got a carrion empire box because I think it is really good and I can see myself adding it a ton. He is super cheap for what he brings.

Just played a 3 game tournament with the sad stats of 1 win 2 loss. The battleplans really didnt favor my list with only 20 models. First game was a super easy win as there were only two objectives in the middle and I just held them for the entire game against night haunt but the second and third game had 5 and 6 objectives and I played against Slanesh and Nagash... I really had Slanesh on the ropes on the first two battleround but after they start summoning things back the troggoths really dont survive at all and You just dont have enough units and models to hold all the objectives. And against Nagash there really was nothing to do its a high tier army Full Fellwater cant handle that
Could you share a list? And thanks for the report!

I tried to spend a lot of time on this due to it being the centerpiece of the army. Hope you like it!
That looks amazing. What colours did you use for the base and for the moon itself?

Sorry if this doesnt go here, but I didnt know where I could ask. Will gw update the paint app to include the gloomspite gitz? It has been quite a while since they release and nothing. And I could really use some guide on my trogoths and the shrine.

Finally got my troggboss (mostly) painted. I never realised there were multiple setups... Not that I would have changed much. Maybe just the ears.
I really liked the mushroom back, but after painting the white dots, I feel the stalagtite back is pretty dang cool.
Glad there is so much variety. Now we just gotta get the word out that there can be variation with the boss too.
Love it! I specially love the colors of the skin, are the same ones as the video in Warhammer TV?

Listening to Richie and Ian today and they seem to rate Bens list highly involving chainguard battallion and one other (in bens it’s the shrieked but they note you could use the bladegheist one or whatever). That’s over 200 points in battallions. Two extra relics, lower drops, and more CP for rerolling charges and +1 attacks. Anyone have experience?
Could you provide a link for the podcast you are refering to? And thanks!

I`ve just finishing building my troggherd, sadly wasnt able to prime it yet, but... Is it just me or the Rockgut trogoths box is really great? All the options are amazing, the details are incredible and ive built 6 different ones that all look amazing. After a somewhat disapointment with the Dankhold the rockguts were an amazing surprise.
Edit: the only thing now is what to do with all the bits lol

Hi there! Im building a Trogoth army as my second ever (first beeing Nighthaunt). Today just ordered what it will be my core (2 dankhold one as boss one as regular and 2 units of rokguth), with the batallion that will put me on 1k points. At bigger games I may consider just playing the nighthaunt for now as I have more points.
And ironically a gift put me into a difficult position. Just got a 25 euro gift from the owner of my friendly local store (where I just ordered) as it is my birthday soon, and the thing is I can only spend it on items on store. As they dont have trogoths yet, which units do you consider best support for my trogoth list? They have hoppers, fanatics, skragot and the spells. I own already the Moon and the battletome. What do you guys think? And thanks for the answers in advance!
Fast edit: I could wait and just buy more trogoths, but as they have to be on store, it will depend if they bring them to have them or not. I honestly doubt they bring the big one, maybe the rockgut and it will depend on how popular they are...

Sorry if this got asked already but with the Ethereal rule that ignores Save roll modifiers do our Nighthaunt units still get the bonus of cover (+1 Save)?
Was already answered and I cant delete post so sorry for the post!

Will it be on preorder this saturday also? Had no idea it will became available too.
I have a tournament in February but have to send the list next week and I have no idea what to play yet, so I was thinking on looking for lists to play.
thanks for the advice!
