  1. I'd really like if there were some allegiance ability that would let you either remove the Hero keyword from certain five-wound heroes or allow you to take 2-3 of them in one Hero slot. I think it would be a neat way to represent the highly competitive nature of leadership in Khorne armies--every single warrior wants to be a warlord, so why shouldn't Khorne as a faction be able to bend the normal Hero rules? You could call the ability "Gorechosen" and select 2-3 5-wound heroes to occupy one Leader slot.

  2. I really like the Waves of Murder idea, since it would really amp up the Goretide's Ever Onwards ability, rewarding Bloodreavers for what they should be doing anyway--rather than forcing them to hang back in their buff bubbles.

    I'd like to see some Bravery buff attached to it, or applied generally to the army. It boggles my mind that warriors who have dedicated their lives to the Path of Skulls should have to worry about Battleshock. They're fundamentalists who see killing and dying for Khorne as acts of worship--what could entice them to hold their lives so dear all of a sudden?

  3. How does Qulathis the Exile's Glade keyword interact in this case? Can she be designated a City keyword since she doesn't already have a home city? Does the Glade keyword interfere in any way?

    Nevrmind, she doesn't have the Cities keyword at all, D'OH

    I wouldn't rule out non-KO dwarves for this one. It's low tech enough to be fantasy, but also not really Kharadron's style, similar to the last dwarf looking rumor engine we got.

    It reminds me a bit of the valves on the Irondrakes' drakeguns and their horn.

    Were they never monsters then?  Thought they were originally.  Beasts of Chaos are neither mortal or daemon either, but at least they can all get prayers and Bloodsecrator on them.  They can be so good in the Skullfiend Tribe, but they have no thematic leadership.  At least Wrathmongers finally got Skar Bloodwrath to do something for them cuz flails.

     

    Oops, just looked through the book that came with the AoS 1 starter. They used to have the Monster keyword. Just realized also that the Bloodstoker's Whipped to Fury ability applied more generously to Khorne units. Why did they have to change that!?

    I just saw Khorgoraths don't have the Monster keyword.  Didn't they used to have that? 

     

    Khorgoraths' keywords have long bewildered me--not monsters, neither mortal nor daemon. Though I guess if they could benefit from all Mortal Khorne buffs, they'd be an absolute nightmare to play against!

  7. Yeah your post just got me thinking about that--bloodsecrator, bloodmad warband, aspiring deathbringer CA. Yeah I love my Skullreapers. And now I've read the Goonhammer review of the hedonites book,  I am a little salty about Slaanesh's summoning--but at this point it seems par for the course.

  8. I haven't watched any video reviews of the Slaanesh battletome to get salty, but I'm not sure how the Painbringers are anywhere near Skullreapers. Skullreapers have an extra wound and two more attacks apiece, and have a built-in ability to fish for those extra mortal wounds. That said, I hope the next Khorne rules (Broken Realms, Battletome, etc) make Skullreapers a conditional battleline!

    I remember that red ball on the old Star Trek caused the Enterprise crew to start fighting, and then in the Q-Continnuum trilogy it was told that it caused wars throughout the galaxy.  So kinda like Da Bad Moon, Khorne could employ Da Red Moon.  or a  Blood Ball in the Sky?   Only thing like that I can see right now is the Bloodbind basic prayer.

    Also, a Khorgorath kit.

    I just finished reading "The Red Feast," the first book in the origin story of Khorghos Khul, and there is a blood moon that appears over the Feast, where Khorghos and his Bloodspeaker go ham on a bunch of tribal champions. So yeah, now I WANT THIS!

    It sounds Slaaneshi (birthday with the newborn, 'excessive', 'delights', etc) but doesn't look it, which is interesting. Maybe the next Broken Realms (Slaanesh/Sigvald) will be in Ashqy

    It mentions a "Miss Glavia S.," a daemonette who appeared in Broken Realms: Morathi. I think the name was Sintouch? Which would make the last sentence even better.

    Edit: It was Glavia Sinheart.

  11. Relying on the Bloodstoker's survival has always kept me from building a list around Skulltake, but I'd love to see you prove my fears unfounded! Maybe Goretide could work as a slaughterhost because then you can give the Stoker the Thronebreaker's Torc for added survivability, along with Bronzed Flesh and Look Out Sir. And it would help you fling those Reavers out pretty fast too.

  12. I'm wondering how the "Stand fast" might apply to Steelheart's Champions. They're liberators, so they should get that +1 to saves, and then they also have their heroic guard ability that gives a +1 to saves when they are charged. Their melee profiles are decent too, especially with the bonus. Not a big unit, but maybe durable enough to be a pain where you need someone to?
