Anyone else look at the newly revealed Brutes and think they could be useful for Khorgy conversions?
-
Cheers, thanks for the explanation mate 👍
-
Was curious about the Gloomspite position here - I’m only new, so have only my basic impressions and what I’ve read/listened to so far to go off, but I’ve not actually seen people regard them this highly anywhere else yet. Is there a list/set of lists, or a particular playstyle maybe, that you’ve seen from them that has made you arrive at this conclusion?
-
Interesting, this is a little different to most of the other opinions I’ve read! To what extent do we think Brood Horrors and/or Stormfiends are part of this equation?
-
Have done some searching and would like to clarify - is it the overall consensus that pure Moulder can’t really be done competitively??
-
That actually is relevant to me yes, still new to the game and uncovering these things. So multiple different casters can’t all cast the same spell in the same turn then, do I have that right?
-
Another question: Do people use the replenishing of models from the Gnarlroot spell with multiple leaders to sustain a Kurnoth-heavy army? It’s obviously written to try to encourage you to use it on Tree Revs or Dryads, but we’d be getting a lot more bang for buck on the much higher cost per model Kurnoths...
-
This is one hell of a response - thanks so much for taking the time! Shame to hear they’re not strong, and I can certainly see why based on some of those numbers and details. I freaking love the models, but yep - is what it is. As much as I want to get into this hobby with a competitive mindset and see how far I can take myself on that front, I do ultimately need to enjoy the models I’m playing, and I imagine I’ll probably end up going with something like an 80/20 rule - with most of my force being designed with competition in mind, but still with just a unit or two I have in purely for the joy of them 😁 If I do end up going Nurgle I’ll be looking back to this info mate 👍

Hey beastly folk - newer player here, enquiring around to get a feel for factions and what works before diving in too hard. Curious, have people had much success with the Nurgle BoC battalion (The Pestilent Throng, I believe)? Any advice on how to best utilise and build it?
-
Newer player here guys - it seems we don’t think much of Beasts of Nurgle? I havent seen them in lists at all so far, are they just not considered strong/competitive enough to feature?
-
So I’m curious - of the Bloodthunder Stampede, Brass Stampede and Blood Hunt, what looks like it might be the most useful/viable battalion to build around right now would we say?
-
Hmm ok, that’s not nearly as bad a verdict as I’d expected based on what I’ve read in here. Pretty cool to hear - cheers! I guess time will tell whether they end up looking genuinely competitive 👍

Hmmm, so Bloodcrushers are just not looking that hot then, do I have that right?? Where do we stand on Mighty Skullcrushers right now? Viable?
-
Yep ok. I’ve heard a few people say similar things too in the Rumour thread. These changes would really alter how Sylvaneth play from what I understand? Woods seem absolutely central to how we play right now, any changes to their significance would be pretty impactful (not necessarily good or bad, but different certainly). And the one-drop reliance or focus changing would change our approach a fair bit too I would think?
-
Ok understood, that timeline is heartening then atleast 🙂 Looking forward to that! What do we lack exactly in Sylvaneth do you think? Does there appear to be a pretty sensible way to progress the army, when it comes to unit additions or general rules/tactical options?
-
Yes very true, I’m expecting a new BT or atleast changes in the GHB. Although just re: the new Tome, did they say “a new Tome for each Grand Alliance” at AdeptiCon, or “ATLEAST one new Tome for each Grand Alliance”?? Because if it’s just one each, we got Fyreslayers straight away... that’d mean no new Tome for us this year technically 😕
-
Hey folks, question: is it me or does nobody seem to use generic Treelords at all? I’m brand new and I love the models and concept, but seems they’re just not competitive?? Would love a viable justification for using something like the Lords of the Clan battalion... +edit+ Additional question! Has anyone got any experience with big bravery debuffing strats at all? Is that actually the aim of using Dreadwood, or is that really more about the alpha? Considering my options here in terms of artefacts and how to leverage the bravery mechanic and battleshock (and if it’s even worth aiming for that in the first place...)
-
Some sharp-eyed chap found what may well be evidence of what one of our new units is going to be (which would actually solve two rumour engine pics), and it looks pretty spot on to me!
-
Someone mentioned the Looncurse release tells us that Sylvaneth are likely the next new tome - but aren’t we being shown that Fyreslayers are the Order Battletome for the year now? So no more Order for 2019? Or are they saying that AFTER Fyreslayers, there will still be another 4 tomes...?
-
Suggestion: let’s not get this thread locked/deleted, and get back on topic somewhat perhaps, folks?
-
Interesting - good to know. I’ll be keeping my eye out, my searching is telling me a new GHB may well be imminent. Thanks again for the concise, knowledgeable and speedy replies, it makes this experience of “catching up” and learning the ins and outs of the game and hobby that much more enjoyable and manageable. And yep roger on the Plaguebearers, makes sense. I imagine that addition would be essential in a competitive form of this type of list then.
-
This is absolutely perfect and exactly the kind of info and detail I was hoping to get. Thank you so much! Thinking about the rules etc, I had a glance at the Maggotkin Battletome picture and it looks like one of the more recent books, given some of the details on the cover - do I have that right? So their rules are likely set as they are and not changing any time soon I’d imagine, if I’ve got that correct? i assume the Plaguebearers are also there for objective gaming too, given how significant that is (new to the game so doing a lot of learning right now - sorry if that seems a ridiculous question!)?
-
Hi folks! Have been directed here from another thread I started regarding competitive low model count armies. Easentially all I’m looking to know is, how viable an army is a lower model count Nurgle force? And what might such a list be comprised of? I don’t know that I’d want to play the Thricefold, but am definitely open to any ideas and thoughts on low model count Nurgle that can hang with higher level armies. All comments and assistance welcome and appreciated! 😀
-
Yep ok, guess it’s a wait and see thing! Hopefully we get a little insight this weekend.
-
Being new to the game, I’m not entirely sure how GW treats these things, but others might so thought I’d ask: I’ve heard people saying it’s possible Sylvaneth will have an updated book released soon (possibly revealed as early as this weekend at Adepticon), or atleast this year, given GW’s plans to release a lot of Tomes this year - does the “soon” part have any real validity do we think? Is it likely/possible??
