    Tempest Eye Discussion

    in Cities of Sigmar

    Posted

    Won my first game with Tempest Eye today! Beat back the filthy khazakidum of Slaanesh. I'll put the list at the bottom. Here's my thoughts:

    Celestial Hurricanum is BONKERS and absolutely an autoinclude. Pray to Valaya that they don't FAQ the portents of battle to be "wholly within 10" because +1 to hit for all units within 10 is awesome, Storms of Shemtek did major work on two Keepers of Secrets.

    Hammerers are also wicked good, a unit of 30 chewed through 5 hellstriders, two chariots, and finished off a KOS. 

    Ironbreakers didn't do as well as I'd hoped, but maybe it's because I rolled terribly. 

    Positioning with this army is going to be so key. I gambled with putting the irondrakes within 3" of the front line of breakers so they could shoot down an Epitome on turn one, but I paid for it when the KOS reached over and took out 10 with two hits. I've been contemplating using ten grundstock thunderers with their 18' reach and if you want to get some shots off on turn one, 16'" didn't really cut it.

    This army played like I wanted it to but it definitely leans into the deathball and I realized very quickly that I didn't have any units with a move of more than 2D6. Gotta bring some copters next time. Luckily I ended up being able to run the 5 remaining ironbreakers onto the third objective (Total Conquest.)

    My List:

    General: Runelord (trait: reroll ones to wound for shooting), artefact: the one that gives you a CP on 4+

    Runelord 

    Warden King

    Hammerers 30x 

    Ironbreakers 20x

    Irondrakes 20x

    10x Longbeards

    10x Longbeards

    Thunderers I mean Freeguild Gunners 20x 

    Steam Tank 

    Hurricanum With Battlemage (Aura of Glory)

    2000/2000

    Is an Ironclad worth it without using any other ships? I've had one sitting in my closet for about a year because I love how it looks but don't play KO. With this new CoS release I was thinking I'd play Tempest's Eye and maybe use some of my existing dwarf units as AC of thunderers.

    I also would like an answer to this because i'm gonna get either a frigate or a clad to go with my one hauler and not sure which

    Handgunners all the way with Tempest Eye. Get them out in a long gun line for excellent board control with overwatch. Use them as a charge deterrent and screen. Sure, they'll fold up quickly but in the meantime, you've brought up your heavy hitters and are wrecking havoc in the backfield.

    that's a great idea. Would the handgunners get to shoot before or after a Mawcrusha does his Destructive bulk?

    I am also extremely excited and plan to be incorporating some KO airships into my army, since they benefit from the buffs. I've never played KO before so which do we think gives the most bang for their buck? 

    Also wondering about what we think are the best ranged unit options. 

    We have:

    20x Freeguild Handgunners: M5 6+ SV, 19 shots at +4, 3+, -1, 1, 1 shot at 30" 4+, 3+, -1, 2or 3+ of they don't move, and get to fire overwatch - 200 pts

    20x Irondrakes - M4, 4+ SV, 19 shots if moved or 39 shots if still, 3+ / 3+ / -1 / 1 with 1 or 2 at 3+, 3+, -2 D3 - 300pts

    OR i realized that  10x Grundstock Thunderers are a great deal too: if all rifles,  M4, 4+ sv, 22 shots at 18" at 3+ 4+ -1, 1 for only 180pts

     

    my starting list right now looks like 

    Warden King 110

    Runelord 90

    Hurricanum with Mage 280

    20x Ironbreakers 

    20x Longbeards

    30x Hammerers 

    20x Irondrakes 300

    20x Freeguild Guard 200

    which comes to around 1800 pts or so...not sure what to use final 200 points for. Steam tank? Endrinriggers + gyrocopter? Organ gun i mean hellblaster volley?

    Reposting from the Kharadrons thread- a list I’ve been thinking about this morning.

     

    I like the idea of using tempest’s eye to make a true combined duardin list- something like (if I’ve got the new points right):

    warden king (general)

    Runelord

    Runelord

    battle line:

    30 ironbreakers

    30 hammerers

    10  longbeards 

    others:

    10 grundstock thunderers

    kharadron frigate

    3 gyrocopters

    allies:

    grimwrath berserker

    10 hearthguard berserkers 

     

    How well that would synergise with the tempest eye’s rule’s I don’t know- I may well be better splitting the dispossessed into smaller units,  but I like the idea of having a combination of fast objective grabbers (gyrocopters and the Kharadrons), heavy hitters to grind up the field (berserkers and the hammerers) and a meaty block of ironbreakers in Defense (ok they’ve been inexplicably nerfed, but 30 models with a 3+ save/ 6+ invun, and battleshock immunity if I hang the king back, is still tough to shift. 

    I LOVE this idea. I'm fluffing my free city as a majority duardin fortress called Khazad Dal-Valai, founded to be a safe haven in the wilds of Ghur.  The city keeps a strong airforce of gyrocopters and kharadron airships to cover ground quickly and keep the beast population in the surrounding areas in check. Unusually hospitable for dwarves, the worship a half-remembered conception of the old goddess Valaya and believe that someday she will return to be Sigmar's consort, who they also venerate. 

    I'm gonna get some kharadron airships and run them with steam tank rules XD or i might just run them as airships with Tempest Eye rules, haven't decided yet.

    So I have an absurd idea for a list I want to try and I'd like some feedback. Do you think this could work at all or am I an idiot? The idea is to keep Dark Mist on Nagash and have him be an attacking powerhouse with immunity to rend, rerolling saves of one, with -1 to hit.

    GRAND HOST OF NAGASH

    Extra Command Point

    Leaders:

    Nagash 850

    Neferata 380

    Cairn Wraith (Aetherquartz Brooch)

    UNITS

    Chainrasp 40x 280

    Dire Wolves 70

    Dire Wolves 70

    Dreadscythe Harridans 15x 240

    TOTAL 2000/2000

    I am absolutely going to run my thunderers as freeguild handgunners and run the warriors as...something else and im going to stick a dwarf in my steam tank and I dare anyone try to stop me 

    it really sucks they boned us like this but the resilience of the dawi will win out in the end

    You could still do an all Duardin army w/Gotrek, all the remaining Dispo, Gyros, and Steam Tanks. Would be pretty lethal.

    They did squat my Order Draconis army so I get the resentment.

    yeah that was extremely uncool but I'm turning my dragon princes into blood knights

    I am super psyched about getting into Legion of Blood and just ordered a Bloodseeker Palanquin. Looking at this list right here, what should I use the extra 100 points for? 

    LEADERS

    BS Palanquin 300

    Neferata 380

    VLOZD 440

    VL with Wings 140

    BL: 3 10x Chainrasp

    Court Battalion 150

    and 5x Bloodknights

    which puts me at 1850.

    I've been having a hard time coming up with ME lists for LOB because of how much of a drop in power it is for skellies at such small numbers. Perhaps chainrasps would be better,  because they can reroll ones to wound, immune to rend, and can still be activated for Van Hels?  

    I won an ME last week with the following list: 

    Spearhead 

    Vamplord, flying horror, ameythstine pinions 

    dire wolves 5x

    MAin body:

    Vamp Lord on Zombie Dragon,  Aura of Dark Majesty, Ethereal Amulets, Pinions

    Skeletons 10x

    Dire wolves 5x

    Rearguard:

    5x blood knights

    I'm pretty crushed; the high elf dragon sold out right before I got paid. I was hoping to paint it as a gift for a friend. Should have gotten it sooner; now the option is gone.

    Are you still looking for a high elf dragon? I have an unpainted one I’m trying to sell for a very reasonable price

    I was extremely excited for LoG when it first came out but now I'm just so frustrated with GW's lazy, half assed rules writing. Why don't we get access to any battalions at all? Why would you give Lady Olynder a legion and then block her from being taken by locking the key piece of it (the -2 bravery command trait) behind taking a random unnamed hero?  Why are all the artifacts just variations of "do 1 (ONE!!!) mortal wound after meeting these requirements?  

    I played a game last night against new IronJawz and got absolutely destroyed. I had all my squishy heroes behind a line of 40 chainrasps and it still didn't matter; he charged across the table with his insane +4 to charge, fired off 4 WAAGHs and gave his ard boys 7 attacks each, hitting on 2s, rerolling 1s to wound, and they just chewed through them like butter. Course I was rolling god-awfully but I don't know what I could have done to stop it

    So after some wheeling and dealing I have ended up with this starting army

    Doombull

    Brayherd Shaman

    Brayherd Shaman

    20x Bestigors

    2x Ghorgon/Cygors

    If I'm planning to paint them red and run them as Khorneskins, what is my next step from here? 10x more Bestigors probably, right? Small units of Ungors or Gors?

    Guys, I'm torn between BoC and FEC. Can someone give me a quick run-down on how  the BoC faction plays (keeping in mind I don't have any other chaos) and in general how is the faction doing these days? Or can someone link me to somewhere it's already been written? thanks

    Literally just got back home with 2 skull pass boxes worth of dorfs, for playing meeting engagements with.

    My group's pretty lenient with counts as, so I can run these little dorks as ironbreakers/drakes, and the miners as longbeards.

    Would people recommend going for the newer, more expensive models in a full Dispossesed list, or running the older fellas in GA Order with a cannon or two?

    I do both, it's super fun. and I do recommend getting the newer, more expensive models if only because they are gorgeous models and look so cool painted up.
