Do fellow hedonites.. how does Gotrek hype affect Your army rosters

any tricks to kill the dwarfen hero it just use high movement and run away?

 

 

Start taking Slothful Stupor to keep him from charging if you gotta get close and maybe soulsnare shackles just to to make sure their 520 points investment does as little as possible. I think the investment to kill him is just too high to be worth trying unless you absolutely have no other choice but to kill him to secure the win.

On a half-similar modelling note has anyone had any success on magnetising the left hand of the KoS kit? 

Not mine but someone on Reddit did magnetize both arms. The big issue I ran into when looking at doing it for my Keeper was that they cloak/jewelry both connect to the wrist on the hand bit so I ended up opting for the cloak and no magnetization since I cared about the cloak a lot more.

For the rest of the topic I'm in the same boat, build full command that I'm allowed to just in case. I figure that since it's legal it's better for the occasional times I play against something that can pick off a specific model and won't have to worry as much about losing a key command model.

Kairos is really tempting to me, however the $$$ and needing to paint such a flashy model is kinda off putting for me atm.

Unfortunately we dont have much to help us cast spells. As Magnus pointed out, getting a 8+ for the Purple Sun is kinda an issue. Im abit afraid of banking so much on spells, yet having not the greatest odds of getting them off. I do like the options against different armies.

You can do some funny stuff with Kairos though, like oneshotting a 6W hero through the spell portal turn 1. 

I haven't gotten a chance to try him myself but I've been wanting to run Karios as well. Big reason because I "just as planned" myself years ago when they first released because I thought he was a cool model that would let me dabble in DoT and give me a fun caster to ally. Turns out it was a good choice.

From the very limited experience I've gotten with the new book (only 2 games for Forbidden Power at 1.5k points) the Epitome along with our heroes can be enough if spells are an edge to your game plan and not a big part.  I think Karios while really powerful needs to have a plan for him to be worth the points. Something like using gateway to help nuke screens, having better chance at slothful stupor being successfully cast, or even for endless spells.

I was running invaders with sybarites and rod of misuse  in both those games; with the GHB2019 I didn't need the spells as much because I had so many command points I could burn for re-roll ones to hit and save rolls that mystic shield and acquiescence weren't as important. I think he's a really fun powerful addition for us but far from a necessary must include.

Few questions:

does a Lord of Change/Kairos get affected by an Infernal Enrapturesses Discordant Disruption (mortal wounds on a double)?  Since it’s not a “roll”, but change dice to match highest...I didn’t see it in the FAQ unless I missed it?!?  After rereading both rules, my thought is no, but want to be clear.

Bladebringer on Exalted Chariot: Pungent Soulscent states “at the start of the combat phase”, if the bladebringer is affected by a KoS command ability to attack twice, do they get to use the Pungent Soulscent twice?  My thought is no, you can’t use Pungent twice, but wanted to verify.

Thanks everyone!! 

Currently all we have to go off of is the FAQ about the realm of metal trait and how it affects changing the dice roll which that only applies if the initial roll before the change was a double. If you go off that ruling then only if re-roll is a double before the dice get changed it would do the mortal wounds But it's GW so who knows for sure.

To your second question you're correct that no it wouldn't since the start of the combat phase is a separate sub phase of the combat phase.

Another short question: can I still try the locus when I fail in the ability of the epitome? (which is effectively the locus to multiple targets)

I know the locuses cannot be duplicated for the single target, but is the limitation also applied to the epitome’s too?

Yes you could just in different order of operations because the locus happens at the end of the charge phase and the Epitome's ability happens at the start of combat. Which until they FAQ it looks like the way to cause units that have fight at the start of the combat phase to fight at the end if you trigger both. The locus would count as neither rule being active then the Epitome would cause them to fight at the end.
