  1. So I've been fooling around with my list as I'm assembling my first batch of models, and I can't make up my mind. My original vision was to go mannfred + vhordrai but the idea of arkhan+ 2 necros +vhordrai might provide more healing and army buffing. I've gotten use to the idea of a very deadly leadership contingent and worry that dropping the mannfred +vhordrai combo will leave me lacking punch. I haven't played a single game of AOS however, so I really don't have anything to base experience on, any insight or personal experience would be appreciated. Allegiance: DeathMortal Realm: ShyishLeadersNecromancer (110)- General- Trait: Lord of Nagashizzar - Lore of the Deathmages: Overwhelming DreadArkhan The Black Mortarch of Sacrament (320)- Lore of the Dead: Decrepify (Deathmages)Prince Vhordrai (480)Necromancer (110) OR LeadersPrince Vhordrai (480)Necromancer (110)- General- Trait: Lord of Nagashizzar - Lore of the Deathmages: Overwhelming DreadMannfred Mortarch Of Night (420) Battleline40 x Chainrasp Horde (280)40 x Chainrasp Horde (280)5 x Dire Wolves (60)Units15 x Black Knights (360)2000 points or 1990 points depending on leaders
  2. Thank you for the feedback! With regards to the inclusion of a necromancer, I would definitely love to get some double attack action going, and another regeneration source can only help, but my only concern is that he will be very vulnerable and isolated since he won't be keeping up with any of the faster units. I'm still getting the hang of the rules, but my impression is that without a nearby blob he can get sniped fairly easily. If I drop something I think it would be the hexwraiths for a necromancer or possibly vampire, but if I dropped the coach I could beef up the black knights to units of 15. I don't have a good sense of how large the bases are, would a unit of 15 be too unwieldy to get all of them in base contact?
  3. Well, I don’t claim to have been for a long time, or have any special insight, but the models are beyond dated and very hard to find(although they still look quite good to me) and it seems that from fantasy the current edition GW have slowly been eroding their effectiveness. All things considered however, it does seem like GW gives more legacy support to AoS than 40k, so I may be off base.
  4. I would love to solicit some advice or criticism on the LoN army I plan on building toward, I have 40k experience but Never played AOS, I originally wanted a LoB style double dragon. Lost with blood Knights, but the models are so expensive and it seems like GW is moving away from supporting them with the rules. Leaders: Mannfred =420 Prince Vhordrai =480 Battleline 5 direwolves x 3 = 180 Cavalry: Black knights x 10 = 240 Black knight x 10 = 240 Allies: Black coach = 280 Hex wraiths = 160 = 2000 points I like the idea of a vanguard force of tough but disposable knights sweeping up the field to hopefully tie down threats before hammering them with the prince or mannfred. The black coach and hexwraiths can scoot around and hopefully gobble up softer targets until the coach reaches enough evocation levels to cause some real damage. Im a little worried by the relative fragility of mannfred but I hope that I have enough threats and screens that he will not be completely saturated. I love his command ability, and as a space marines player re reolling ones is in my DNA. I think the black coach and hexwraiths may be a weak point, but they do have some synergy with each other and mannfred. I think the objective game is weak for me but I hear good things about the effectiveness of direwolves.
