[AoS 2 - Dispossessed Discussion]

So I've been doing some research into quick, speedy allies after having been forced to just sit and be unable to contest unguarded objectives in my last game. What are everyone's favorites? 

My ideas so far are:

Reavers - 15 shots and 14" move, plus their free 2d6 move in the shooting phase, is very nice, and i already have some Silver helms I could convert

Freeguild Outriders - rend shots, can run and shoot, grenades

Stormcast Birds- cheap and fast

Doomfire Warlocks - fast, wizard for unbinding, rend in melee, but a tad expensive. that spell could be super nasty though

I guess I really want to stay away from Stormcast though lol

Ive played a lot with mixed order with a healthy portion of aelves and my favorite units are:

Reavers: amazing unit that snatch so many objectives. It’s the unit that probably singlehandedly won me the most games. I always tell my opponent how fast they are before the game, but they still quite often get surprised.

White Lions: Undercosted 2hander with a 25mm base, one of the games best units.

Dragonlords: They are not just for Order Draconis. Since I wont play for the alphastrike as you would with draconis I give them all shields, no horns, and just leverage reroll armor saves as much as possible. They are fairly flexible, really intimidating and if you bring more than one (I use three) even unreliable abilities like breath weapons becomes very usable.

What list do you use, if you don’t mind? I just got a whole bunch of elves in a lot and trying to figure out how to build with them.

Just a quick question, has anyone based their heroes on 32s instead of 25s? I’m thinking of doing this so they stand out more and I can do more with the bases.

My king is on a 40 just because I’m an idiot and didnt check the sizes before ordering runebases from Etsy but who cares he looks awesome on it

[AoS 2 - Dispossessed Discussion]

Had my second game out with my dawi tonight, with mixed results. 2k points, Dispossessed against Troggoths. Game was The Better Part of Valor, ended 18-14 after a few poor decisions on my part and some bad luck. Once again the Irondrakes were the star; everything else literally melted away the second any trolls got close. My opponent ran a Troll Hag and a Colossal Squig, lost 6 of my 20 hammerers immediately to her vomit before I managed to snipe her out with the irondrakes — but then the Troggoth King or whatever he is got in close combat and they too melted away. Hammerers ended up doing barely nothing, but I also lost a few to battleshock when I forgot that I didn't need to roll. I ****** up and didn't read the rules right, not realizing that a cogsmith's aura of effect on a gun is just ONE freaking inch, are you kidding me? The cannon did big damage, especially with the reroll; the organ gun, not so much. Still not sure if the artillery and cogsmith was worth it. My Thunderers performed pretty well too until they got backed into a corner and vomited to death. 

I just get so frustrated with how fast everything dies and how little it feels like they're able to sometimes; my warden king, even with rerolling saves and Scales of Ignax, did no damage and was just mortal-wounded to death by the colossal squig. By the end of the game, all I had left were 3 thunderers and the cannon to his Troggoth king and colossal squig with 1 wound left, but I could never challenge his unguarded objectives with the exception of the one the irondrakes and king pickaxed on to. Definitely need some kind of fast allies, thinking Reavers maybe?

I probably should have just ran the warriors and longbeards towards his objectives and left him stuck in the middle lol, their rerolling saves were negated by the -2 rend everywhere.

Here was my list:

Warden King

Runelord

Runelord

Cogsmith

Warriors 20x

Longbeards 20x

Hammerers 20x

Cannon

Organ Gun 

Irondrakes 20x

Thunderers 20x

(i know it's technically violating ally limits but my buddy agreed that it was microfaction ****** and I should be able to take artillery)

his list:

Troll Hag

Colossal Squig

Rockgut Troggoths 6x

Fellwater Troggoths 3x

Fellwater Troggots 3x

Shaman with mushroom hat?

Tiny Shaman guy

Cauldron endless spell

Squig Gobbba

Any advice as to what I should have done?

The grudgebound were victorious! 3-1 on objectives thanks to the reavers quick speed, who other wise did maybe 3 wounds between them the entire game. 4s and 4s is not good. Irondrakes are insanely good. I definitely need better speed allies though

AGKonRZD

30x Crypt Ghouls

3x flayers

3x horrors

Royal Mordants Battalion

2000/2000

What do we think?

[AoS 2 - Sylvaneth Discussion]

Do we like Hunters with great bows? Just played my first game as sylvaneth with a small 1k force and they didn’t seem to do enough, that 4+ to hit sucks. 

Also looking for advice on how I should expand my force from here.

so far I have 

TLA

Durthu

Drycha

5x tree revs

32 dryads 

3x KH with bows 

 

[AoS 2 - Nighthaunt Discussion]

Hello guys! I am new to AOS and to Nighthaunt but played 40k for a while, I love the Nighthaunt army and I'd like some advice on a list I'm putting together.

Do we like the Coven Throne? Is it better or worse than a Black Coach? I have Soul Wars and a Tormented Spirits set and was thinking about getting a SC! Malignants box for more spirit hosts and hexys, i love those goofy skellies, but I also want to run Lady Olynder and a bunch of buffing heroes which doesn't leave me with much extra room at 2k. 

list would look something like this

Leaders:

mKos

GoS

spirit torment

Lady Olynder (planning on buying)

Coven Throne OR Black Coach (planning on buying)

Battleline:

20x chainrasps

10x hexwraiths (have 5, planning on 5 more)

6x spirit hosts (have 3, planning on 3 more)

Other:

10x Bladegheists (planning to buy)

8x Glaivewraith Stalkers

any help would be much obliged! this list isnt meant to be SUPER competitive but should be able to hold its own
