  1. Great thread idea! Positivity in Warhammer for me is that@Beer & Pretzels Gamer set up a Zoom league for myself and some friends so I’ve actually been playing more than ever and finally getting a handle on the game from a rules and mechanics perspective.

    I also am working on a dedicated hobby space that I hope to have set up in time to paint the 12x Vargheists I have coming.

    Whether it’s painting, playing, list building, theory-crafting, reading reviews or Black Library, etc., Warhammer brings me hours of focused, hobbying joy.

  2. So I kinda walked backward into a Soulblight list without even realizing it. Over the last year, I'd picked up both the VLoF & VLoZD, plus a Coven Throne. Recently I won a lot of 12 Vargheists and Prince Vhordrai and according to Ayzr that gives me a complete 1970pt list, if I include an extra CP & Balewind. Kinda an elite list but one that also seems like it would hit like a freight train.

    I recognize this list might not be viable anymore once the new tome comes so I want to get some games in. Any thoughts on this? Should I drop the Balewind and ally in some Direwolves for chaff?

  3. So I've spent months tinkering and I've come up with an all-Duardin CoS list that I am very happy with:

    Allegiance: Cities of Sigmar
    - City: Tempest's Eye
    Mortal Realm: Aqshy
    Gotrek Gurnisson (520)
    - Allies
    Warden King (100)
    - General
    - Command Trait: Hawk-eyed
    - Artefact: Seerstone Amulet
    Cogsmith (60)
    - City Role: General's Adjutant
    Runelord (90)
    Runelord (90)
    10 x Longbeards (100)
    - Ancestral Weapons & Shields
    - City Role: Honoured Retinue (Must be 5-20 models)
    20 x Hammerers (280)
    20 x Irondrakes (300)
    2 x Gyrobombers (160)
    2 x Gyrocopters (140)
    2 x Gyrocopters (140)

    Total: 1980 / 2000

  4. Played Darkwalkers vs Deepkin and won. The ability to both ambush & redeploy is huge. I took 40x Ungor Raiders for max shooting effect but otherwise stuck with MSU and was thrilled with how my list played. Great for board control and objective play and for messing with your opponent's head.

    We have two beasts players in our group, of which i'm one. The other chap plays belakor and people really struggle against him shutting down their main unit. Generally makes people a little salty too.

    Grashrak and his dudes are two drops so including him does up the drops significantly but his spell is great and those dudes arent useless as they'll tank some wounds for him.

    I've played Belakor as an ally for my Chaos Dwarfs and yeah some players get salty about it but others have figured out ways around it. I wouldn't say it is an OP ability.

    Thanks for the word on Grashrak. The spell is great but them plus Belakor takes a potential one-drop list and makes it four drops. I feel like BoC need to go first to win games; otherwise our low Saves and low Bravery leave us ripe for being tabled quickly.

  6. Been doing a deep dive into the BoC tome in preparation for a (now delayed) tournament. I think this tome is highly underrated. It certainly takes savvy piloting but a Gavespawn/Pestilent Throng list could be devastating with the proper build. Wondering too, if for a mere second drop, adding someone like Belakor would make it even better. I’ll post some draft list ideas soon. 
     

    quick question though: Are Grashrak Despoilers one additional drop or two? Love his spell but don’t want his thugs

    For me that still doesn’t answer the question haha you could still field 2 Ghorgon!

    Btw wouldn’t 10 man Bestigors units make more sense with the Pestilent mortal wound spamming?

    If I had a second Ghorgon, I totally would. Might consider it.

    As for the Bestigor question, I've considered it both ways but the 2x20 gives me better board control and given how easy it is for most armies to shrug MWs at this point, I'm think of them as more of a bonus than the point of the list. 4x10 sounds like a headache but maybe I'll go 1x20 and 2x10!

    Then why not a Ghorgon?

    Already have one in my list. Here's the list, swapping Cygor for Jabber:

    Allegiance: Beasts of Chaos
    - Greatfray: Gavespawn
    Mortal Realm: Ghur
    Beastlord (90)
    - General
    - Trait: Unravelling Aura  
    - Artefact: Mutating Gnarlblade  
    Great-Bray Shaman (100)
    - Artefact: The Knowing Eye  
    - Lore of the Twisted Wilds: Vicious Stranglethorns
    Great-Bray Shaman (100)
    - Lore of the Twisted Wilds: Tendrils of Atrophy
    Dragon Ogor Shaggoth (180)
    - Lore of Dark Storms: Sundering Blades
    20 x Bestigors (240)
    20 x Bestigors (240)
    10 x Ungors (60)
    - Mauls & Half-Shields
    30 x Ungor Raiders (240)
    1 x Tuskgor Chariots (60)
    1 x Tuskgor Chariots (60)
    Ghorgon (160)
    Jabberslythe (160)
    Pestilent Throng (200)
    Ravening Direflock (30)
    Wildfire Taurus (80)

    Total: 2000 / 2000
    Extra Command Points: 1
    Wounds: 141
     

     

  9. Am thinking of swapping my Cygor for a Jabber. The Cygor's unbinds are nice but dude sucks in melee and dies easily. The Jabber won't hold up much longer but at least I have the chance to dish some real dmg plus the Aura of Madness, though unlikely, forces my opponent to make some hard decisions about where to place his units. Thoughts?

  10. How about this?

    Allegiance: Beasts of Chaos
    - Greatfray: Gavespawn
    Mortal Realm: Ghur
    Beastlord (90)
    - General
    - Trait: Unravelling Aura
    - Artefact: Mutating Gnarlblade
    Great-Bray Shaman (100)
    - Artefact: The Knowing Eye
    - Lore of the Twisted Wilds: Vicious Stranglethorns
    Great-Bray Shaman (100)
    - Lore of the Twisted Wilds: Tendrils of Atrophy
    Grashrak Fellhoof (140)
    - Lore of the Twisted Wilds: Viletide
    Dragon Ogor Shaggoth (180)
    - Lore of Dark Storms: Hailstorm
    10 x Bestigors (120)
    10 x Bestigors (120)
    10 x Gors (70)
    - Gor-Blades & Beastshields
    30 x Ungor Raiders (240)
    1 x Tuskgor Chariots (60)
    1 x Tuskgor Chariots (60)
    1 x Tuskgor Chariots (60)
    5 x Grashrak's Despoilers (0)
    Cygor (140)
    Ghorgon (160)
    Pestilent Throng (200)
    Doomblast Dirgehorn (50)
    Ravening Direflock (30)
    Wildfire Taurus (80)

    Total: 2000 / 2000
    Extra Command Points: 1
    Wounds: 141
     

    Two drops --  does what I want it to.

    Is 1 more Relic + CP  worth the 150pts+ or is another unit or 2 more worth it for you? It really comes down to that.

     

    If I switch my one artefact to Knowing Eye, that circumnavigates the CP issue. And Gavespawn + Nurgle means I want to maximize my explosions and Spawn generation and 150pts goes a long way there.
