So having played around on Azyr I’ve dropped the spells in favour of Ghoul Patrol for the low drop and extra mount trait/artefact/ cp. This will give me 2 extra CP for GK summons turn 1 and the opportunity to deploy in response with the Ghouls depending on opponents deployment/ first turn. Would welcome any critique positive or negative. Realm of Battle: SHYISH.

This changes things, I thought that the woods block line of sight so anything inside is untouchable until either you go in (risking mw) or you lure them out. Am I right in saying that I prioritise his big boys with the gkotg? Then once they’re taken care off mop up the rest. Thank you both for the feedback. I guess I’ll stick with my original list (2x Gkotg) and see how it goes. The summons will give me access to knights and the archregent can summon either ghouls for area denial or varghulf to support the knights.

Apologies if this is a repeat for those on Facebook but I'm after some advice on how to build a 1600 point army to face Sylvaneth. It will be my second game with our Grand courts (and AoS). I have the following models at my disposal. 2 Terrorgheist/Zombie Dragons with or without GK 2 Ghoul Kings (if not mounted) 2 Archregents 1 Varghulf 1 Crypt Haunter 1 Crypt Infernal 1 Crypt Ghast 12 Flayers 12 Horrors 100 Ghouls As you can see I'm not limited by choices, just can't get my head round best options against the woodies. My initial thoughts are to go feast day delusion with 2x mounted ghoul kings (1 TG and 1 ZD), 1 archregent, 1 Crypt Ghast, 3 10x Ghouls for battleline and then perhaps cogs and the chalice spells. However I now understand that the Sylvaneth do not like MW so Flayers sound like they would be a good choice.

I didnt want to add another list to this thread so have posted separately on the forums, i would really appreciate any advice or criticism on the lists that I posted here....

Really!!!! I had seen some Qs regarding it only triggering the first time a unit fought in the game but didn't realise it had got to the point of needing a clarification. Do you think, RAW, that Deadwatch unit can now benefit from Feeding Frenzy even if it had previously fought in the Hero phase? I'm interested as I'm taking a Deadwatch batallion to my first game on Wednesday and want to make sure I'm understanding the rules correctly.

Page 55 – Feeding Frenzy Change the first sentence of the rule to: ‘You can use this command ability in the combat phase after a friendly Flesh-eater Courts unit has fought for the first time in that phase and is wholly within 12" of a friendly Flesh-eater Courts Hero, or wholly within 18" of a friendly Flesh-eater Courts Hero that is a general.’ Does this change simply clarify/confirm that Deadwatch can use Feeding Frenzy even if they have fought in the Hero phase? I can't see any relevant other changes to the text.

So this is my first go at an army in AoS (completely new player), I've gone for a fast alpha strike list that allows my Knights to get into combat quickly with the Court and Battalion ability . I can use the Lords of Burning sky to support whichever Knights i need to with the Varghulf, or to move the GK to a point of advantage. I will probably use the AA to summon a second Varghulf to support the other knights, or bring in another 20 ghouls dependent on the mission. Not sure on whether to save the 100pts for CPs or bump the Ghouls up to 30/ take a group of 10 though.
