N.I.B.

I just played a 1000pts campaign game and was easily beaten by Sylvaneth. Does anyone have a good 1000pts list to suggest? I had a hard time dealing with those teleporting hammer trees that has 5 wounds each and can go down to 2+ save with Mystic Shield. The fact that they can strike and fade from combat before I get to swing is bonkers. My list was: Legion of Blood Grand Strategy: Lust for Domination Core Battalion: Warlord (1 extra artefact) Triumph: Inspired Wight King on Skeletal Steed general - Cloak of Mists and Shadows, Command Trait: Doomed Minions, Warlord Vampire Lord - Warlord, spell: Spirit Gale, Aspect of the champion: Tunnel Master Necromancer – Warlord, relic: Amulet of Screams, spell: Waste Away 10 Black Knights, Standard bearer, musician. Warlord. 20 Skeletons, standard bearer. Warlord. 5 Blood Knights, standard bearer 1000pts We played on a full scale table which felt like a mistake, big advantage to teleporting armies at 1000pts.

What was weird to me was the Corpse Cart. Why was it in the list with no Zombies? Just to buff Spirit Gale?

Question about Torgillius 5+ ward save aura, shouldn't it stack with the Ulfenkarni Phylactery to a 4+ ward save?

Noob question. I played my first AoS game last week, forgot a lot of rules, Skeletal Legion among them. There seems to be no cap on this ability (that awkwardly happens at the start of the combat phase), so you can continue to roll for slain models even if the whole unit is killed? There's nothing in the wording that specifies the unit must have at least one model left, but I guess you could argue then there's no unit to return models to.

Yeah as it stands currently Blood Knights lost a lot of flexibility and movement with the loss of move out of combats and charge something (like some other unit to grab an objective) in the same turn. Riders of Ruin makes up for it somewhat as they at least are more lethal now against a single target.

Also, Blood Knights can Riders of Ruin an enemy unit, how many times in a turn? Once in normal move, again on the charge. And once more, if they can pile in over enemy models?

timestamp 17:45 seems others think that it should be FAQd.

No. The only restriction of 'once per phase' is regarding the target of the effect, i.e. 3 summonable units within 12" from a certain Hero. There's nothing that says you cannot do it again in the same phase from another hero triggerpoint, targeting different units. The precedence was that each hero could trigger this. Now the wording has changed but it's unclear. Looks like this too needs a FAQ.

Sorry for being unclear, I meant to ask whether you could trigger it more than once (not asking about the effects). As I understand it, previously each hero that could use the trait could trigger it and it was FAQ'd. Now you say it's down to a single trigging per turn?

Bought the tome yesterday. About Deadly Invocation - is that once per hero phase, OR once per Hero in the hero phase?

Typo? You meant Cloak of Mists and Shadows?

Thank you. How do you make your army lists - battlescribe, pen&paper, something else? I'm mucking about in battlecribe, Grand Strategy: Empire of Corpses doesn't show as an option.

Yeah any pointers to obviously good units now? I just opened a FEC box and considering whether to build a VLoZD or a Terrorgheist, Crypt Flayers or Crypt Horrors? I have loads of skellies, zombies, dire wolves, Varghulfs, Grave Guards, heroes. I just need a netlist to copy and field and start to learn the game.

Hello fellow suckers. Is this the biggest AoS Death forum on the western hemisphere? I'm considering entering AoS and dusting off my trusted Vampire Counts, but I can't say the reviews for the new Soulblight battletome has me hyped. I'm more of a competitive player, and from what I gather the new tome is an overall nerf. Is it too early to destillate a competitive build?

Ah, 'Dreadknight' gives rerolls to hit, I missed that for some reason. Dreadknight + Endless Legions seems to be available to all allegiances except Soulblight and Death.
