    So, I've had this warband since it came out, but I've never played it. Finally played it last night, and I love it! God, they're so freaky and fun! I'm playing just the team from the core box, but they can be really strong with some brutal effects! Are people still playing them much? I kinda want to do their campaign now.

    Thank you all! Yes, the guy who was pushing me to end the game the most is mostly a 40k guy. The main thing was just knowing that there's no specific prohibition on continuing as long as you have things to do (such as moving a judgement in my Hero phase or summoning in my Movement phase). And if I'd rolled the damage of the judgement well enough, I could have killed his general. Ah well. Thank you again!

    I was playing with my Khorne army yesterday, and I got tabled. My opponent said that was the end of the game, but I insisted we keep playing, because there was still one round left in the scenario, and I had some tricks available to me. My Wrath-Axe judgement had made the roll to stay on the table, and I had blood tithe to summon (and blood tithe summoning does not specify that you need a Hero, you just need a Skull Altar). A few people at the table told me I couldn't keep going, but I still had things I could do, even without an army. The league organizer ruled I could keep playing that game. But is it true that you just have to stop playing when your army is tabled? Anyway I still lost the game, on points, but I just want to make sure there isn't some core rule that I shouldn't have been allowed to continue, even though I had things I could do. Thank you!

    Yeah, I know you can still win on points no matter what, but I just wanted to see if there was anything stopping me from spending my blood tithe points if all my units are wiped off the board. Obviously I would have no Heroes to summon them near, but if all I need is the Altar, I can stay in the fight FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE!

    I have a question about Blood Tithe summoning: the book says that the summoned unit needs to be set up within range of a Hero or a Skull Altar. Does that mean I can summon even if I've been tabled, because the Skull Altar isn't going anywhere? Thematically I think it would be a fun parting gift for my opponent, thinking they've wiped me out and then BLOODTHIRSTER!

    Ugh, they really need to stop locking Mortal rewards behind killing enemy heroes in the combat phase.

    Anyway, we've spent enough time entertaining doom and gloom. I'm interested in that SCE Vanguard box, and my friend is really hyped about the Nighthaunt.

    Several of the warbands from Tome of Champions don't have cards coming in this wave. I hope they'll come out with the Scions of the Flame warband, and I hope soon!

    I was on the Warscroll Builder on the Community site, and I saw two separate Daemon Prince entries under Leaders for Blades of Khorne. There's the Daemon Prince of Khorne listed at 160 points, and then the Slaves to Darkness Daemon Prince at 210. Is the first one an oversight? Because i thought 210 was the new price point.
  10. Zamik
    I’m kind of excited to get the Daemon Prince in a list, I feel like he’s been a diet bloodthirster for too long and now he feels like a proper general, with a solid melee profile and a command ability to gum up enemy charges.
  11. Zamik
    I get that, and I didn't mean to sound like people shouldn't get to enjoy their toys; however, Warcry is about speed, and I can't see Liberators and Retributors keeping up. Now if they get Prosecutors in there that could be fun, but it's hard to see what new playstyle the chamber will bring.
  12. Zamik
    I'm curious why there are two distinct Tzeentch sets. Also, SCE Warrior Chamber, why? Are they trying to give Liberators another chance to do something worthwhile?
  13. Zamik
    Thank you! Yes I definitely see dropping the judgement and extra cp would be good since I need bodies. My thinking on keeping the Daemon Prince in rearguard is to keep him protected somewhat, and also he’s the fastest thing in the army so he won’t have trouble catching up. But it’s true that the later he comes on, the less combat he gets into, and that’s a waste of Hew the Foe. i have a soft spot for magore’s fiends, they have really good weapon profiles for blood warriors, and riptooth lets them reroll charges. I’ve been eager to get them into a game, suboptimal though they be. Thanks again, Smooth!

    I'm looking to build a 1k Meeting Engagement list, and I wanted to run this by y'all. Slaughterhost: Goretide Spearhead Slaughterpriest (Bronzed Flesh) 5 x Blood Warriors Main Body Bloodsecrator (Artefact: Thronebreaker's Torc) 5 x Blood Warriors 5 x Skullreapers Rearguard Daemon Prince of Khorne (General: Hew the Foe) 20 x Bloodreavers Extra Command Point Hexgorger Skulls 990/1000 My plan is to have the priest and his retinue get up behind some upfield terrain, heroes fire the Blood Warriors and Bloodreavers off into a big scrum, and the Skullreapers and Daemon Prince do the real damage. I have some alternate ideas, such as swapping out the extra command point to add the Bleeding Icon or Wrath-Axe as long range damage dealing; or swapping out 10 Bloodreavers and the command point to take Magore's Fiends and Riptooth, whom I think are seriously underrated. What are your thoughts?
  15. Zamik
    Aesthetically, I love them, and I've converted a Khorne Bloodstoker into an Ogor Breacher, and I'm working on making a Prefector out of Skullreaper parts. But! I just haven't had any luck with them on the table. They just require a lot of forethought in set-up etc, because other teams have an easier time getting around the board and shifting gears, I've found.

    It's definitely curbed my impulse buys. Making me more deliberate about my purchases isn't a bad thing per se, but it does take some of the fun out of popping around the game shop and just picking up a little box here or there. It feels like everything has to be an investment now, the product of considerable research and planning. Then again my hobby budget's never been particularly large. Also, I'm curious to see if the relaunched Warcry warband boxes will have more customization pieces in them. I wouldn't be too put off by the increase if the boxes came with extra heads, weapons, bits, etc.

    The core rules say that a "hit roll of 1 before modification always fails to hit the target," so it looks like there's no auto-hitting. Same goes for wounding and saving rolls.
  18. Zamik
    I agree with @Troll.exe on Gore Pilgrims, because it's going to be really hard to keep groups of 20-30 reavers wholly within 16" of the slaughterpriest AND keep that slaughterpriest safe. Plus, you can catch more units in the larger 24" orbit, so everybody will get more attacks. Also, if you're looking to have the bloodsecrator keep pace with the wave of reavers, you can give him the Thermalrider Cloak artefact, or if you want to soften up a bunch of units with mortal wounds, give him the Banner of Wrath.

    I submitted a pitch for a story about a wilderness clan pushed out of its ancestral homelands by a growing city. The clan heads north to the ruins of a city wracked by plagues in the Age of Chaos, and they hunt a hideous Nurgle-y beast covered in bloodshot, dripping eyes--basically conjunctivitis as monster--and its master. In any case, acceptance or rejection, it's given me the chance to think a lot about the sort of Free City dynamic I want for a future army, and it's given me the opportunity to develop my Silva Lacrimalis setting. We'll see!

    I like that vertical distance is rounded up, so falling is way more of a thing with the core terrain. Enhances the drama of slugfests up on those rickety platforms!
  21. Zamik
    Thank you, @Xasz, that was what I was hoping for, and how I intended to play him--a horrific counter-punch in turn 2 should my opponent run up on him recklessly!

    I have a question about Skarbrand's "Skarbrand's Rage" ability. Can he use this in the second round if he didn't fight in the first, or does he have to stay out of combat until round 3 to use it? The text of the ability is this: From the second battle round, if this model is on the battlefield and did not attack in at least one of the combat phases of the previous battle round, when you look up a value on this model’s damage table the model is treated as having suffered 13 wounds.

    An Exalted Deathbringer could be good for Brutal Command, to make sure nearby Bloodreavers stick around on objectives or just stay to gum up the works.

    Does anybody remember Aracula from Skeleton Warriors? I'm getting that vibe with these boys, and I like it!

    Katakros does say "ensorcelled ivory" so basically a wizard did it and that works for me! Interesting you mention the stonehorns--could that be the basis for a potential Mawtribes-Ossiarch battlebox? Nagash wants only thr coolest bones, and the Ogors won't give 'em up? 😄
