Why doesn't anyone use Skarbrand?

They should have given the Juggerlord the Reality Splitting Axe. I'd be happy with him at 160 then. I'll probably still buy the model because it's just so good.

Ok, looking at the pics again, you appear to be right on this particular kit. Thanks for the clarification. They only picture 3 sprues, which must be doubled. I haven't bought this kit yet.

Going 3-2 is losing viability? Sounds like a respectable showing. You can't expect the other tournament-level players to just roll over.

You don't think the kits should support legal unit formations without having to kitbash or bit shop?

Something I've noticed with some kits is that they don't include enough parts to have a standard and musician if you split the unit in two. Take Mighty Skullcrushers for example. Units are in multiples of 3, but the kit has six models and only one banner and one horn. It's legal to run two units of three while also having a banner and horn in each. So what, someone has to buy $200 worth of kits to get 3+3 properly outfitted?

Gotcha, thanks. I'll order from the web store.

It's a shame too because the model is fantastic. Would you feel better about using him if he were 140 points and not 160?

What was wrong with yours? Bad casting?

I'm preordering the $40 time worn ruins set. I think it looks really cool. No interest in the large pieces though. I'd rather go for Azyrite or the new Warcry terrain.

Question for my Khorne brothers ... did you find the mortal models to be tedious to paint? I've got a few mortal sets I'm getting ready to start working on, and there seem to be a lot of little details. I love the models but it's starting to look like a ton of work. Wondering if I should maybe grab some Flesh Hounds...

Seems like you could maybe do better with 280 points than Castigators and Hailstorm Battery. Would probably be better to just surround the Ordinator with a couple more ballistae (4 total). You could do that and still have 80 points left over, maybe swap Incantor for Celestant on Dracoth or Astreia Solbright or Azyros + Veritant .... just some thoughts, lots of potential options.

If he's a good sport, ask for a handicap. Like some bonus army points or extra command points. He still gets to play his competitive list, you get to play your list, and it ups the challenge factor for him. I used to play Madden a lot with a guy who was much better than me. We had a rule that I got to pick the teams. He was ok with it because he liked playing the game but also didn't have much fun blowing me out.

Can anyone confirm that the USA web shop is shipping this kit with the correct parts now? My local GW has one on the shelf, but I'd wager that's the busted one, and I want a corrected one.

Are you allowed 4 heroes or 6? Require 2 or 3 battlines? I'd def exclude Skull Cannon and Sorcerer, and def include Bloodsecrator, Slaughterpriest, Blood Warriors, Skullreapers and Khorgorath. Battalions seem really expensive at less than 2000 points, but it's up to you, really. You have options. I'm not a huge fan of the Slaves stuff in this army... maybe just make that a separate army, as you seem to have enough stuff to make both. This is 1500, only uses 4 heroes, all BoK, no battalion. Looks like a fun list. I'd personally drop the 20 Bloodreavers in favor of Wrathmongers for that 140 points, but you don't have Wrathmongers.

There is a Blades of Khorne discussion thread under the Chaos sub-forum.

My son is building a nearly identical army. He also wants some trolls. He'll likely end up with more than 1000 points, but that just gives more options and will keep it fresh from game to game.

These are my favorite too. The Lord on Juggernaught is killer.

Cool.

If you just care about winning them you'll probably have to keep switching armies as the meta changes. Or just build the models you like and play casually. I will be surprised if Khorne mortals don't see some point reductions.

Here's what I've been thinking... The Frostlord on Stonehorn is a gimme. I feel like that unit is the reason to run BCR. I also want to run two behemoths because, well, it's Beastclaw Raiders. Assuming a pure BCR list, I prefer Yhetees as battleline, which means I need a Thundertusk. No problem, Thundertusk makes sense for a Huskard, right? Frostlord on Stonehorn (420) Huskard on Thundertusk (360) - general 3x Icefall Yhetees(120) 3x Icefall Yhetees(120) Total is 1020 ... close but no dice. The annoying thing about this is that the Frostlord is the same (420) on either mount, but the Huskard is 20 points more on the mammoth. If they made them both 340, this list works... this just feels like a basic BCR list that should work at 1000. GW, please fix. Using the hunter and dogs works with the list (exactly 1000), but I don't like these models as much as the Yhetees: Frostlord on Stonehorn (420) Huskard on Thundertusk (360) Icebrow Hunter (140) - general 2x Frost Sabres (40) 2x Frost Sabres (40) I'm not a fan of mixing in a lot of allies, but I think this would be a legal way to get two Frostlords on Stonehorns for 1000: Frostlord on Stonehorn (420) - general Frostlord on Stonehorn (420) 10x Greenskinz Orruks (80) 10x Greenskinz Orruks (80) One last list I cobbled together with just one behemoth and Mournfangs battleline plus some spell support: Frostlord on Stonehorn (420) - general Fungoid Cave Shaman (90) 2x Mournfang Pack (160) 2x Mournfang Pack (160) 4x Frost Saberes (80) Mork's Mighty Mushroom (80) The Mournfangs are ok but not as cool as the bigger mounts. The ogors look a little silly on the smaller animals. Also, it would be nice to see this faction get their own low cost shaman and a few spells...

Do you all think BCR might see point reductions in the new GHB? Even small point reductions would seem to be a big help with building 1000 point lists, which is currently pretty hard to do ... my preferred list comes in at 1020.

I think he has a point. These details aren't obvious to new players. Adding a few words to the description could only help.

I was thinking the same thing and came up with this list (990 points): Lord-Veritant - general (120) 5x Liberators (100) 5x Liberators (100) 5x Evocators (200) 9x Vanguard-Raptors w/Hurricane Crossbows (420) 3x Aetherwings (50) Some comments: Veritant seems like an obvious choice for general since he's a Priest so can Translocate and also has an Unbind ability. 2x5 Liberators is cheap battleline requirement Longstrike Crossbows are too expensive for this list IMHO. Seems better to get 9x Hurricane and still have room for 5x Evocators. Aetherwings work well with Raptors for screening and gives somewhere to dump the extra 50 points. I've been struggling to put together a 1000 point SCE list that I like because the units are so expensive, but I kind of like this one. No idea how effective it would be, but it should be fun to play. PS. I'm going to wait and see what changes in new GHB before getting into SCE.
