    here’s the Tyrants of Blood list I’ve settled on. Skullreapers backing up Bloodthirsters is just amazing. I miss my bloodsecrator/stoker/other priests and judgements. But this list just has so much versatility. If you have the models try it! Skullreapers are just amazing! Bloodthirsters getting the consecutive attacks when able and double attacking if you have the CP to do it. +1 attacks from mongers instead of the secrator is just better. My bloodsecrator is just a bullseye it seems. So at least this way you have more tools in the toolbox with more models.. anyways here’s the list. Let me know if you’ve tried it or something similar. I’ve also had great success with bloodforged battalion.

    Well out of all the games I’ve got in so far from this new tome. The all stars have been the skullreapers. Those mortal wounds on 6’s. re rolling hits to a unit with 5+ models. Then re rolling either 1 to wound from goretide or re rolling all wounds from bloodstoker. Having between 20 - 30 Attacks per 5 models can put out some serious damage. With all the re rolls it’s hard to miss. I seriously hope they leave the point cost alone on this unit.

    Gotcha thanks. Then the warshrine will probably not be worth the points. Rather an extra priest and judgement. Cheers thanks for that. Although maybe buffing skullreapers with the shrine giving them the re roll hits and after save could be an insane combo! My mathhammer is out of control Yes of course. But I like to dedicate the bloodstoker to the skullreapers. I feel like they benefit from it more. I’ve over buffed blood warriors before. And they just don’t seem to do it for me. In smaller blocks anyways. And trying to tuck one into a big horde to keep wholly within is difficult especially with lots of terrain on the board. 30 man blob of bloodwarriors with bronzed flesh I think is my plan. 10 sullreapers and 5 wrathmongers with aspiring deathbringer a priest and bloodsecrator. 2x 10 reaver screens holding the rear deepstrikes. Trying to keep the priests wholly within the units and still close enough to the shrine for buffs and re rolls. So many things dependent on one another lol. I’m excited though.

    I think the 30 blood warriors is a thing. I’m going to keep a bronzed flesh priest in range of them and save the rest of the buffs army wide for skullreapers. I’m running a list with them this weekend. But unfortunately I think the 30 man bloodletter units are done. They’re just too squishy and you have to dedicate a bloodthirster or another daemon hero to them to be properly offensive. They can be great hammers. But they get shattered so easily once attacked back. And no battleshock immunity can cripple a 30 man unit quite fast and loose their built in locus too fast. Man if they had 2 wounds it would be a different story! They’d be almost overpowered at that point probably though. So I’m just going to park a 30 man bronzed flesh bloodwarriors unit on one object. And send skull reapers/wrathmongers with aspiring deathbringer and priests to contest the rest of the board under the watch of a bloodsecrator and gorepilgrims with goretide. I’ve been slowly collecting data on my matches I’ll be posting here when I get a couple more games in. Let me know if you find you can swing these 30 man units and we can compare how the matches went. I’m excited to see if my bloodwarriors can be useful as a viable tar pit on an objective. I’d love to dedicate a war shrine to them aswell. But Points get thin at that point. One question though. If your rolling for your 6+ after save do gorefists have a chance to bounce that wound back? Or is the bounce only on their initial save? Because now that I think of it. A double chance to bounce back mortal wounds may be a big deal.

    I think the biggest indicator for me personally to adapt all gorefists. Is essentially my warriors are just parked on objectives anyways. So goretide does it’s re roll 1s to hit for the mortals under that slaughterhost. The MW bounce is such a great mechanic. So out of the fresh batches of bloodwarriors I’m working on. I put my chips into the gorefists.
  6. Impa
    This exactly. Purely used for battalion requirements for me personally.
  7. Impa
    I used greenstuff and sculpted my own on the first ones I did when I was laying out the models and figuring out how to fit things together. Also grabbed some spares from eBay for 6$ with the torsos included to make things easier. Used bloodreaver heads on this recent set I’ve put together. I also custom made the vicious mutation claw to look different. Using the bone piece I cut from a leftover wrathmonger torso. I really like how these ones look personally. One more to finish off for these 5. Just a new box set essentially with minor alterations.
  8. Impa
    Finally finishing up my skullreaper conversions. Utilizing leftovers from the wrathmonger/skullreaper set. Legs and bits from bloodwarriors and some bloodreaver parts. I took some build process pics aswell. Still need to finish some gap filling and sculpting. But here is where they’re at. I sourced cheap parts locally on trades and such. But you can find the odd eBay lot with the bits you need aswell if shipping is worth it.

    i posed a list a few posts back i am going to try with the 30 man unit. I will report back when i can get a game in. Alas work life has kept me swamped.
  10. Impa
    Absolutely no worries and i agree range based armies are definitely an Achilles heal to bloodwarriors. As their no respite is nullified in shooting phases due to only being able to activate it in combat phase. thanks for the replies!
  11. Impa
    "1 in every 10 models can replace the units weapon option with a goreglaive" as per the war scroll. Your champion can't take the glaive anymore either. So essentially your 30 man unit can cary 3 glaives with 2 attacks each (+ whatever additional attacks from monger or stoker or both for potential 4 attacks each 3/3/-1/2dmg/re roll wounds) so your essentially making a 60 wound unit with gorefists bounce back mortal wounds. they can no respite on death, you have your rend from the glaives out front. whipping them re roll wounds with potential re rolls to hit from goretide and giving them bronzed flesh makes them a serious anvil. i think the pros outweigh the cons. its alot of points to invest YES. So i'm just wondering if anyone has tried it and their thoughts.
  12. Impa
    This is the list i was pondering to go with the 30 man blob. stoker dedicated to the warriors and one for the reapers. wrathmongers with the reapers. bloodsecrator following the warriors. with 10 man screen of reavers for both the secrator and priests. 158 wounds with gorepilgrims. multiple +1 attack options. re rolls etc. Allegiance: Khorne - Slaughterhost: The Goretide LEADERS Slaughterpriest (100) - Blood Blessing : Bronzed Flesh Slaughterpriest (100) - Blood Blessing : Blood Sacrifice Slaughterpriest (100) - Blood Blessing : Killing Frenzy Bloodstoker (80) Bloodstoker (80) Bloodsecrator (140) - General - Command Trait : Hew the Foe - Artefact : Thronebreaker's Torc - Banner of Khorne (Artefact) : Banner of Wrath UNITS 10 x Skullreapers (360) - Goreslick Blades - 2 x Spinecleavers 5 x Wrathmongers (140) 30 x Blood Warriors (520) - Goreaxe & Gorefist - 3 x Goreglaives 10 x Bloodreavers (70) - Meatripper Axes 10 x Bloodreavers (70) - Meatripper Axes BATTALIONS Gore Pilgrims (140) ENDLESS SPELLS Wrath-Axe (60) Hexgorger Skulls (40) TOTAL: 2000/2000 EXTRA COMMAND POINTS: 1 WOUNDS: 158 LEADERS: 6/6 BATTLELINES: 3 (3+) BEHEMOTHS: 0/4 ARTILLERY: 0/4 ARTEFACTS: 2/2 ALLIES: 0/400

    its 520 points so you can get a stoker to run with them for that 80. also if your running gorepilgrims easy enough to give them that +1 attack. and you can bubble wrap that stoker in the middle for the wholly within whip giving them the re roll wounds, bronze flesh them for +1 Defense roll. Goretide to re roll ones if wholly within 12 of objective (this one may be the issue) lots of potential!
  14. Impa
    Has anyone run a 30 man bloodwarrior blob? So your 3x goreglaives are out front while your blob is locked in combat? that would be a serious wall of madmen with all the random buffs we can dish out to it. Some serious objective holding power.
  15. Impa
    Awesome, and of course! Thanks
  16. Impa
    Reapers vengeance command ability Leave none alive and have him double attack. Man this would be crazy, can i assume he would gain the command ability since he is a hero?
  17. Impa
    Indeed. And thanks for the info you’ve shared. I hope to contribute with my own battle report here soon. I think I’m going to give gorepilgrims it’s last chance. Then it’s onto this bloodmad list. This pilgrims last has done me well. But when you loose your bloodstoker and if the bloodthirster takes heavy damage before he can do his thing. Things seem to fall like dominos. Bloodletter blob is very hard to keep holy within mongers and around terrain etc. So I may try dropping them and putting in reapers. But that locus from the bloodthirster and all the attacks can be so good if you can get a lot into combat. I’m mainly facing evocators and sequidors.. so there’s always heavy losses.
  18. Impa
    Yeah that is pretty similar. I guess by dropping the mighty lord, 10 blood reavers and the icon that opens up an extra slaughter priest and the wrathmongers. But Again that’s probably comparable. Aw man you’ve killed me dream already lol. I do agree with a lot of the complaints coming through in waves on this forum. Especially after seeing some of this new fyreslayer stuff. Ohwell I guess we just keep at it. Obviously every opponent has the potential of different play styles and army’s. There doesn’t seem to be one all encompassing list to take to be able to contest with what’s out there. And I think that’s a major complaint a lot of us are upset about. Anyways thanks for sharing your insight and experience with that list.
  19. Impa
    ahhh that's a shame. So what was in your list? i see your hatred towards bloodreavers. i share your sentiment, they are pretty worthless. i would never take more than the minimum requirements. as you stated your skull reapers were your main damage output. Blood warriors just sit on objectives, take majority of the hits, dish some back. Reapers as long as they aren't the major target for ranged attacks should do some nice damage. How many priests did you run? Bloodboil is by far our best ranged attack. who cares about those hideous skull cannons when you can have a priest for cheaper. I do agree about the crushers, if they can charge they are pretty bad ass. I don't have any mounted models, probably wont buy any either as i've invested enough in daemons. Nice pics too! that's some sweet scenery.
  20. Impa
    page? i'll go back and read it. been tough sifting through the belly aching. I wish i was a Fyreslayer.
  21. Impa
    The only thing is if You wanted to go heavy with the wrathmongers you’d probably want to take that battalion geared towards them. I feel the damage output is better on the skullreapers and the mongers/stoker are purely support to up the attacks on the bloodwarriors and reapers. Although I do see your point. I guess it boils down to what’s more valuable. Drop a priest loosing a blood boil, potential judgement, a prayer and also have to Drop 5 blood warriors. To gain 5 wrathmongers giving you the extra attacks on 5 less bodies essentially equals out. But you do gain the monger attacks in themselves. And they have rend and reach. Hmmm it’s a tough decision. I’m just under the assumption more anvils and more prayers are maybe more valuable then a few more attacks and a 5 man rend/reach. Also we have to consider the wholly within junk. That does sound pretty cool with the manticore too though. Haha so many options. Let me know what you find when you play your lists.

    Test running this list hopefully soon! Will report back when I get a game in hopefully Sunday. Think I’m done with gore pilgrims. It’s too reliant on your priests/secrator not getting picked off. And this bloodmad business with goretide seems like so much fun! Skullreapers, bloodstoker, bloodsecrator, priest and blood warrior unit with a reaver screen in the back for blood sacrifice and to hold up any rear flank charges on one side of the board. 2 x 10 BWs, wrathmongers, the deathbringer and 2 priests heading to the other side of the board. Nice board coverage and some speed. Extra attacks from the mongers or secrator along with the battalion. Can’t wait to put this into action. Also you can drop a priest for another stoker or reduce a 10 man BW unit to 5 and pick up more spells if you desire. The priests and bloodsecrator or like bullseyes to any opponent I play, so when you loose one gorepilgrims is essentially wasted points. So at least with the bloodmad battalion it has more opportunity within the scope of each game. Sad to shelf my daemons, but they just seem to be bigger more expensive bullseyes.. Tyrants of blood/reapers is great times. But when you loose two of your bloodthirsters and if you took your squishy bloodletters into battle and they got hosed down by ranged attacks. Or some crazy charge.. It can be game over. But oh man when things go your way, it’s a beautiful bloody victory where the game is called literally immediately I’ve found... but this list here seems to have a lot of anvils with MW bounce back from the blood warriors, some decent damage output from the reapers and priests doing their thing. I hope others have done a list like this, I’d love some feedback. I’m not a competitive player, so I’m limited to opponents.. cheers

    Here’s a size comparison. They all have horned helmets and are pretty much the same size. Am I reaching? Lol
  24. Impa
    Blood for the blood gods!! Trying to stay positive I literally skipped the last page of comments. Haha. Here’s my alternative slaughterpriests. (Models sculpted by Stephane Simon) they match in size to the GW version. I’m not a huge fan of the model with the axe and I love the wrath hammer model but I much prefer fielding the axe welding priest. I finished painting one the other day. And the second one is a work in progress. Not sure what happened to my primer but man it sent clumps flying at my model so it’s a bit rough in some places after I brushed off what I could to salvage the mini. Anyways what do you think? Do they fit the part?
  25. Impa
    Amberglaive +1 hit +1 range from realm of ghur. If your using canons take wrathmongers for the +1 attacks per model. I’m not a fan of blood crushers. I’d take 10 more blood warriors and mash bloodletters into a 30 man blob. And sub your crushers for skull reapers and mongers. Just my two cents.
