  1. Why are thoughts on using Tzaangor and acolytes, going for more of a mortal army. Recent 1k list I took was

    magister on disc 

    Ogroid

    tzaangor shaman

    10 acolytes

    10 acolytes 

    10 tzaangors

    3 screamers 

    pyrofane cult coven 

    didn’t want to take pinks or LoC since it was 1k but didn’t have much of any success with the list against kruelboyz. It’s only my second 3.0 game and I’m still trying to get used to the changes and other new things 

  2. So I had a small 1k game against Skaven this weekend and lost (I’ve never won against skaven whether i play Tzeentch or Slaanesh). 
    my list 

    Invaders host lurid haze 

    syll’esske 

    Masque 

    Lord of pain 

    10 chaos warriors 

    5 myrmidesh pain bringers 

    11 blissbarb archers 

    I don’t know all the names of my opponents units but I think he had 

    verminlord (scythe wielding one)

    the big bell model 

    30 Plague monks 

    30 plague monks 

    we played shifting objectives and right off he got onto all three (vermin lord on one, 30 monks on center and other units in the left one).

    I was already struggling with how to beat him cause he had more units than I, and I couldn’t go after all 3, so focused on the center and the left one and ignored the corrupter. Though he was on the higher pointed objective but was also closer to two of the gnaw holes whereas there was only one near the other two objectives. 
     

    I was able to whittle his plague monks down and eventually kill one of the units, but his big bell thing killed syll’esske in turn 2 I think. 
    I was able to summon daemonettes in turn 3 but by that point he had 10 victory points and I only had 3. So we called it. 
    I’m not used to Slaanesh so I was having to look up and check things a lot but was not encouraged when I saw it was skaven.  Anyways I’m trying to stay positive and get practice with the units I’ve got. 
    I know it’s not the most detailed report but I’ll take any feedback I can get lol 😝

    Was interested in getting some chaos warriors fromt he STD sc box, i remember seeing some neat kit bashes for nurgle chaos warriors using blightkings, has anybody tried anything similar with our new mortal units like using myrmidesh painbringer heads?

    I did a kitbash using the war cry splintered fang and some hellstrider and twin soul bits

  4. Made a change based list for fun and curious how it looks to others. Theme is change (i.e. changing into chaos spawn or Tzaangors)...not sure which coven to use...could try Transient form to add more change-s to the list. hehe

    Here's my Fatemaster! She's built from bits that would be tricky or expensive to get hold of if I didn't already have the kits for other projects. If anyone has any questions about particular parts I'd be happy to answer them!

    I themed her shield around the Paradoxical Shield artifact, which you can see in the second photo.

    Very cool, Nice paint job! what did you use for the body?

    Wait, are those allegiances legal for events and stuff? Or just narrative play? Is this book like the psychic awakening books where they supplement the rules?

    from what i've heard and seen, the contents are used in any form of play....

    So we are waiting nerf of tzeentch? Without devastating units changehost and super defensive horrors tzeentch already dominate meta. That do you think?

    i am nervous about the FAQ.  Im seeing quite a lot of comments where people are up in arms about how Flamers, horrors, changehost are broken/overpowered/ not fun etc. (this is summation of what i'm seeing) and an over correction or large nerf may be the result.

    Also, the Tzaangor shaman (or the Great Bray Shaman via the Tzeentch battalion), have access to the Beast of Chaos endless spells. And Archaon can also cast the Hedonite endless spells.

    We we have access to a dozen endless spells, without resorting to allies. :)

    just when i thought i had enough models to paint :D ....though i won't use Archaon, can't stand the model lol

  9. so, I love the new endless spells for Tzeentch (probably would try to take 1-2 of them in a list) but realized that if i take the GS he has StD keyword and that gives access to StD endless spells. Are they worth taking? Been hearing a lot about Darkfire Demon drift

    You don't have enough units for the Changehost - I'd suggest splitting the pinks into two units of 10!

    Altered the list based on what i currently own....planing to get more flamers and an exalted flamer.  

    Eternal Conflagration

    -Loc

    -Changeling

    -Changecaster

    -Fateskimmer, herlad on chariot

    -Blue Scribes

    --10 pinks

    --10 pinks

    --3 Flamers

    --6 Screamers

    --Burning Chariot

    ---Changehost Battalion

    -Tome of Eyes ES

    -Burning Sigil ES

    -Balewind Vortex

    ----2000

  12. So....list building w/ new tome. Unfortunately the "Rule of Cool" means that i want to take way too much stuff...lol...and finding a list that i like is tricky (though i haven't played any lists with new tome yet). Been playing around with some ideas and curious on what the group thinks.

    This is the current list i'm thinking of....thoughts/feedback very welcome

    Eternal Conflagration

    -Loc

    -Changeling

    -Changecaster

    -Fateskimmer, herlad on chariot

    --20 pinks

    --6 Flamers

    --6 Flamers

    --Exalted Flamer

    ---Changehost Battalion

    -Tome of Eyes ES

    -Burning Sigil ES

    ----1990 pts in total

  13. playing first game with new BT tomorrow (and first game in a few months too lol)

    it's 1K game and i'm going to try some things out and see how they do 

    I'm thinking of taking the following:

    Eternal Conflagration

    Changeling

    Herlad on Disc

    Pinks 20

    Flamers 3 (only own this many currently)

    ....this puts me at 770 pts and i'm thinking of taking either 10 more pinks, or another  hero and screamers...Looking for thoughts and feedback. Not trying to take a super competitive list just something with good synergy

    Yes, 2 dice rolls (charges, casting, etc) require 1 destiny die each. Also, this isn't detrimental to the LoC. Destiny dice aren't modifiers as it isn't a + or -, so whatever destiny die you sit down, the other that you manually roll will match the 6 to equal 12.
     

    unfortunately the new update has changed this and when making a 2 dice roll (i.e. casting) and you want to use DD, you must use 2 DD for the roll instead of rolling one and using DD for one. 

  15. i'm working on a list: 

    Eternal Conflagration

    Changehost Battalion

    LoC

    Changeling

    exalted flamer

    20 pinks

    6 flamers

    ....more pinks?

    .....screamers

    rest is TBD...i'd like to try Fatemaster and/or Herlad on Chariot or disc...and some endless spells. The theory being that the pinks (and maybe flamers) could be moved into enemy territory from Changehost ability and then the Changeling could appear behind them, giving them the Locus....i like that the Coven ability would give Horrors, Flamers and...i believe....Horrors on chariots the -1 rend...appreciate feedback thus far

  16. well, i'm even more excited for the update. The changes to horror splitting seem cool, and more in line with lore...but they went up in price. I like the sound of the sub-factions and the hidden agendas seem cool too. I'm still hoping that flamers, screamers, and chariots got better, but all the stuff in the article seems very positive to me!

  17. saw the community article about the pre order and all the new stuff. Excited, but at the same time cautiously optimistic lol. I was hoping for terrain just to have more tzeentchy stuff to paint, not necessarily for tactics.  all in all looks very good to me. the dice was a surprise.

    Just keep in mind that the local meta is always different, and I suspect that yours relies on heavy agression and pushing, running straight forward across the board. Maybe you can tailor your list to be anti-meta? I found out that some things just work so well for me, while they might not work in other gaming groups. 

    after some thought I've realized the local meta Is actually fairly competitive ...friendky, but competitive, and that has made it challenging to learn and improve . Also that are pretty experienced players with other tabletop games, whereas i am not. There is another group starting closer to me that isn't as competitive .....going to paint for a while and take a break from playing.
