    AoS3 - Soulblight Gravelord Discussion

    in Death

    Posted · Edited by Orchid89

    I just bought the Battleforce to start my SBGL army.

    I dont have the battletome yet so i have a few questions.

    I have the cursed city box too so I can reinforce the x20 Skeletons in the Batteforce box with an extra x10 to run it in a unit of x30.

    Do I need a Necromancer to go with the Skeletons? I am not a huge fan of the Necromancer model tbh, are there any alternatives to using a Necromancer? or is he a must when running a unit of x30 Skeletons?

    Should I bother getting more zombies to run them as a unit of x60? I see that most people run them at x40?

    I plan on getting Mannfred + a VLoZD too and already own a Coven Throne (spare Mortis engine from when my partner started collecting NH)

    EDIT: I actually prefer the Neferata model, so i might build her instead of Mannfred. Or magnetize if its not too hard

    no kroak

    How is this for a Thunder Lizaard monster mash list?

    Lord Kroak (430)
    Engine of the Gods (265)
    Stegadon with Skink Chief (305)
    Stegadon (265)
    Stegadon (265)
    Stegadon (265)
    Bastiladon with Ark of Sotek (185)
    Total: 1980 / 2000

    I wanted to stick a Skink Oracle on Troglodon for looks but not sure itl fit
     

    EDIT:

    I actually don't own Kroak yet  (But do own 3 boxes of the broken Realms box) so maybe this for now.

    Stegadon with Skink Chief (305)

    AoS 3rd - Idoneth Deepkin discussion

    in Order

    Posted · Edited by Orchid89

    I managed to get 2 of the Broken Realms IDK boxes before they went out of stock to start a 1000 point IDK army in AoS3, I love their aesthetic.

    Volturnos, High King of the Deep (260)
    1 x Akhelian Allopexes (125)
    1 x Akhelian Allopexes (125)
    1 x Akhelian Allopexes (125)
    3 x Akhelian Morrsarr Guard (195)
    3 x Akhelian Ishlaen Guard (155)
    Total: 985 / 1000

    (I love sharks)

    if I ever decide to play 1500 I could add Leviadon or Eidolon + 1 shark.
    if I ever decide to play 2000 I could add Leviadon + Eidolon + 1 shark + 3 Ishlaen Guard.


    Probably not very competitive but I think it would look stunning.

    9 are probably enough.

    Yet if you really enjoy painting these guys or just want to play 12 stormfiends at some point, I’d just go for it, maybe it'll be exactly the list that will dominate the meta.

    I actually just came up with one.

    It includes:

    Heroes:175p

    1Arch warlock:175p spells:mmmwp, general: deranged inventor, Artefacts: Talisman of destiny.

    battleline:1705p

    9Stormfiends:945p

    6stormfiends:630p

    5skryre acolytes:65p

    5skryre acolytes:65p

    others:75p

    Warpgrinder weapon team:75p

    Total points:1955p

    yeah, this list has a ton of fire power.

    And 15 stormfiends😋😜

    15!
    haha, that would be a sight to see.

    I think Ill get the extra x3, I think they will be a lot better this edition.

    While the Broken Realms box is still available do you guys think I should buy another one to have x12 Stormfiends? Or are the x9 I have enough?

    I haven't really played yet but I plan to play mono Skryre when I do.

    I already have x6 Stormfiends but I am thinking of getting the new BR box to get myself a full Stormfiend Battleline for a Skryre force.

    Is there any point in getting another 3 after that or is x9 enough?

    I was thinking x6 Stormfiend, x6 Stormfiend, x5 Skryre Acolytes? or is that pointless?

    I would have been all over that.

    I got excited when I saw the name "Doom-Coven"

    DO IT

    Are you going for a winning list? Then ask someone else. Crazy but fun lists? That's me. I say do it, but one change. I think you would be better off taking a Bastiladon rather than an Oracle, but then again I'm stupid when it comes to logical list building.

    THEY SHALL PERISH BENEATH THE THUNDER OF THE OLD ONES

    I mean that certainly will be cheaper because it already comes in the Broken Realms box.
    Actually, its a good idea and i will take your advice, also i wanted to build 1 of each Bastiladon anyway.

    Thanks

    I only added the Troglodon for variety but I can always get that some other day.

    For now, I just need to wait for Kroak

    EDIT:

    I forgot, I need to leave points for potential Battalions 

    Edit2: aww damn, I need Kroxigors or hunting packs? Lame. I hope they update the models.

    Let's hope the new battalion is good.

    I just bought my partner 2 of the new Broken Realms boxes as her intro to Seraphon (She loves Stegs) My partner also bought them not knowing I had already bought some.

    Should we cancel 1 or 2 of the boxes or is it worth having 6 or 8 Stegs? (Stegagedon?) We could always sell them in the future so atm we are keeping them but we do have time to cancel right now.

    EDIT: I am having a go on the AoS Builder and I think 3 boxes might be fun, maybe we should cancel 1 of the boxes.

    4 boxes would be pure Steg (although that might be fun, I think adding a little other flavour will be better.)

    Whatever we do decide to do, we are not fan of any of the Battleline units (although Skinks are far nicer than the Saurus guys)

    EDIT2: Something like this would look amazing on the board. 🤩 Rule of cool, I have no idea if it would play well (although we dont really care about that so much, we arent competitive)

    Lord Kroak (320)
    Stegadon with Skink Chief (250)
    Engine of the Gods (260)
    Skink Oracle on Troglodon (220)
    Stegadon (240)
    Stegadon (240)
    Stegadon (240)
    Bastiladon (220)

    If I sell the unused Bastiladons + Saurus this whole army would cost around £100 + Kroak (whatever he will cost)

    I hope Kroak wont cost too much

    No squig herds ATM

    Is Moon-Jumper Stampede worth taking at 1000 points? Or is that more suitable to bigger games

    I'm prepping a list for my first game and I can't decide between the 

    Loonboss on Mangler Squigs (280)
    Fungoid Cave-Shaman (90)
    15 x Boingrot Bounderz (300)
    5 x Squig Hoppers (90)
    5 x Squig Hoppers (90)

    Moon-Jumper Stampede (140) or 5 x Boingrot Bounderz (100) + Extra CP (50)

    I don't have any Squig Herds atm

    Hi, I am interested in starting Sylvaneth, what prices do you have in mind?

    I would be interested in the Looncurse half, Sylvaneth Start Collecting, the Warcry boxes and mayyyybe Alarielle

    So far all I have is the Mortal Realms Sylvaneth Box

    Any rumours about the price of the Christmas-Boxes already around?

    I have seen reports that it will be £125 for all the boxes except the Gitz and Chaos Space Marines which will be £120 (EDIT: now I am seeing the Space Marine and Astra Militarum listed as £120 too, which makes sense)

    I calculated the percentage saved if anyone is curious

    AoS
    KO - 34.2%
    Ogor Mawtribes - 34.2%
    Tzeentch 34.2%
    Gitz - 32.4%

    40k
    Necron - 37.2%
    Tyranids - 34.2%
    Tau - 33.3%
    Astra Militarum - 30.6% 33.3% (EDIT: It appears as though it will be £120 so I corrected the percentage saved)
    Space Marines - 28.6% 31.4% (EDIT: It appears as though it will be £120 so I corrected the percentage saved)
    Chaos Space Marines - 26.3%  (They should make it £115 imo, which would at least make it a 30% saving)

    For comparison, the Skaven Battleforce last year was a 34% saving

    Check this link for a value breakdown

     

     

    If these prices/savings are correct, I will be getting a Necron, Tzeentch and a Gitz (maybe 2) Battleforce this year.

    Finished my first brute......absolutely love these models now! I had only done ard boyz up until I started this beast. Might have to do some lists with lots of brutes.

    How is the brute fist battalion, incidentally? Anyone tried any lists?

    20200929_193052.jpg

    Ok that looks great! I love it, I like it a lot more than the standard Yellow color scheme.

    You have made me want to get into Ironjawz! Especially a lot of Brutes.

    I have been messing around with the Warscroll builder. I have come up with these 1000 point armies, using a SC box + 2 Warcry box OR 3 Warcry boxes + a Megaboss 
    I have no idea if they are any good though!

    Ironjawz 1000points with an SC + 2 Warcry boxes
    Orruk Warchanter (110)
    10 x Orruk Brutes (260) (Ironfist Big Boss)
    3 x Orruk Gore-gruntas (160)
    5 x Orruk Ardboys (100)
    5 x Orruk Ardboys (100)
    5 x Orruk Ardboys (100)
    Ironfist (160)
    TOTAL: 990/1000

    or

    1000pts using 3x Warcry Warband boxes + a Mega Boss
    Orruk Megaboss (140) - (OR Orruk Weirdnob/Madcap/Fungoid Cave Shaman???)
    15 x Orruk Brutes (390) (Ironfist Big Boss)
    10 x Orruk Ardboys (200)
    5 x Orruk Ardboys (100)
    Ironfist (160)
    TOTAL: 990/1000

    Both lists could also drop 5 Ardboys to throw in a Madcap/Fungoid Shaman if its worth it?

    btw, the reason i mentioned the Madcap/Fungoid Shaman as Allies is because I already own them for my Gitz army so I figured it might be handy here.

    EDIT: 1 more using the Brute Fist Battlaion and some allied Squigs

    Orruk Megaboss (140)
    Orruk Weirdnob Shaman (120)
    5 x Orruk Brutes (130)
    5 x Orruk Brutes (130)
    5 x Orruk Brutes (130)
    10 x Boingrot Bounderz (200) - Allies

    AoS2 - Dankhold Troggoth Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Orchid89

    I am thinking about getting 1-2 of the new Gitz Battleforces + potentially 1-2 SC to start a Troggoth army (and a little 1k Squig army with the leftovers)

    I already own Mollog and a Madcap Shaman (Zarbag) from Nightvault and I may get a Fungoid Cave Shaman at a later point because its such a great mini.

    Here are some 1k and 2k lists I came up with this morning.

    1k using 1 Battleforce + 1 SC

    Dankhold Troggboss (250)
    Mollog (180)
    3 x Rockgut Troggoths (140) Battleline
    3 x Rockgut Troggoths (140) Battleline
    3 x Rockgut Troggoths (140) Battleline
    Stomping Megamob (160) Battalion (too expensive for 1k?)
    TOTAL: 1000 points

    OR 1k using just 1 Battleforce

    Dankhold Troggboss (250)
    Mollog (180)
    3 x Rockgut Troggoths (140) Battleline
    3 x Rockgut Troggoths (140) Battleline
    15 x Boingrot Bounderz (300) - (or just 10 + a Madcap/Fungoid Shaman)
    TOTAL: 1000 points

    OR 1k using 1 Battleforce + 2 SC

    Dankhold Troggboss (250)
    Mollog (180)
    6 x Rockgut Troggoths (280) Battleline
    6 x Rockgut Troggoths (280) Battleline
    TOTAL: 1000 points

     

     

    2k using 2 Battleforces + 2 SC

    Dankhold Troggboss (250)
    Mollog (170)
    Madcap Shaman (80) - (or a Fungoid Cave-Shaman at a later date)
    1 x Dankhold Troggoths (190) - (because I love both variations)
    6 x Rockgut Troggoths (280)
    6 x Rockgut Troggoths (280)
    6 x Rockgut Troggoths (280) 
    15 x Boingrot Bounderz (300) - (or 6 Fellwaters at a later date)
    Stomping Megamob (160)
    TOTAL: 1990 points

    How do these look? I figure the Boingrot Bounderz could be useful for objectives.

    I dont have the Battletome so I dont know but the Battleforce is temping me!

     

    EDIT:

    1 More for 1k

    Dankhold Troggboss (250)
    Dankhold Troggoth (190)
    6 x Rockgut Troggoths (280)
    6 x Rockgut Troggoths (280)

    Can Akhelian King and Volturnos easily be magnetised? I was thinking of selling the spare one I get with my 2nd Bloodsurf Hunt box, but only if he can easily be magnetised.

    Looks like the weapon and shield would need to be magnetised and the thing that goes behind them....

    Might make it too fiddly.

     

    EDIT: Also, how many of you magnetised your eels? 

    I feel like I should wait for the new book to make any permanent decisions but that could be a while
