Ruinbringer WArband cannot be used in Nurgle Allegiance, at least not within a 2000 pts limit, because it counts (and all units in it) as an ally and therefore is way too many points spent in allies.

Go and get the Nurgle Battalion...

That's sad  Time to rethink the whole list. Thanks!

[AoS 2 - Maggotkin of Nurgle Discussion]

I'm planning on using this army with the minis I have. Are there any changes that could help the list?

- Marks always get the non-general effect,   independent of any hero.

- The General Mark effect triggers for any hero.

- All Cultists and Darkoath Units get the undivided keyword

- 1 in every 4 units can be chosen from BoK, MoN, HoS, DoT if the unit has the mortal keyword. This unit gets the StD Keyword.

- Allied Greater daemons Get the Aura Ability. (If there‘s anything that‘s inspiring then it is a greater daemons)

- Knights must choose every combat phase which weapon they use.

- Chaos Warriors can mix and match their weapon options

- Daemon Princes become wizards with one spell, Khorne gets no spell and Tzeentch can cast twice.

- Cultist Command trait that allows an additional unbind instead grants the ability to cast one additional spell for wizards. Non wizards become wizards.

- Cultists can perform 2 rituals a battle round: The Sacrifice one at the beginning of the herophase, the move an endless spell one at the end of the herophase.
 

- The Shrine Battallion makes the prayers go off on a 2+, on a 6+ The current Battalion effect triggers as well.

- Varanguard get two versions : Circles of Ruin Varanguard, Varanguard. The circle one costs 250-300 pts, the normal one costs 200-250 points.

 

tada! The book would be very fun to play, strong (but not broken) and versatile. 
Additionally it would make me buy all those mortal units

 

Pretty cool changes, I would just modify it a little bit more.   

- In the 1 in 4 units. You can only access units with the same god keyword as your general, except Undivided which can take units from the 4 books.

- In my opinion the chaos knight should only get a 40 point drop. At 140 they should be fine.

- Warriors at 90 pts for 5, max unit of 20 and horde discount of 300 pts for 20 models. This should fix them as an anvil, no mixing required in my opinion.

Other changes:

- Marauders should get a 20 pts increase. I know they are the only good thing right now, but with all these changes mentioned above they would be even crazier.

- Both chariots should see a 30 pts decrease.

- The Warshrine should have the monster keyword (for the healing in despoilers)

- The battalions and Command abilities should target StD units, not only Mortal StD units. It break the faction so much.

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

I was thinking of taking the following list to a Meeting Engagement tournament? How does it hold up in your opinion?

CELESTIAL VINDICATORS

SPEARHEAD

Celestant-Prime

5x Evocators SPELL: Celestial Blades

MAIN BODY

Lord Castellant (GENERAL) Single-minded Fury & Stormrage Blade

10x Liberators (Warhammer & Shield) 2x Greathammers

REARGUARD

5x Vanguard-Hunters (Boltstorm Pistols & Storm Sabres)

Total: 990 pts

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

I got some Vanguard-Palladors for cheap recently, whats everyone opinion on them? They seem like nice objective grabbers, back line harassers to me.

@Absolution black I think at the moment it’s not as easy to give any final advice on meeting engagements since it’s still fresh and people still need to figure out what’s good and what’s bad. Also I neither own the GHB19 nor have played meeting engagement. That being said, I will still try to answer your questions:

 

 

1. If you choose a Medusa (or Bloodwrack Shrine) as your general, Blood Sisters become battleline in addition to Witch Aelves and Sisters of Slaughter. So you can use all three to fill out your battleline requirements.

    

2. I think both Witch Aelves as well as Sisters of Slaughter are viable, depending on the playstyle. I’d go with what you prefer visually.

    

3. Normally Heartrenders are seen as the better choice of the two, since they are more reliable and versatile than the Lifetakers. Might be different for meeting engagements, though.

    

4. If you go for the Medusa as the general without a Shrine keep in mind that she is very squishy. As InSaint pointed out that might not be as much of a problem in meeting engagements as in normal games, but still something to keep in mind imo.

    

5. So going with InSaint’s first impressions as well as your preferred units I would probably start with something like this:

Bloodwrack Medusa

 

Hag Queen

 

Hag Queen

 

5 Blood Sisters

 

5 Blood Sisters

 

10 Witch Aelves

 

10 Witch Aelves

 

5 Lifetakers

 

5 Lifetakers

 

 

 

This should give you enough units to play around with and will bring you up to exactly 1000 pts. I have chosen Lifetakers over Heartrenders here, because they fit into the list very well point wise and seem to be better in meeting engagements. Keep in mind, that if you want to build up to 2000 pts. Heartrenders would probably be the better investment, if you don’t want to get both.

 

 

 

@umpac There was a thread on that topic discussing the pros and cons of shields (https://www.tga.community/forums/topic/18324-daughters-of-khaine-witches-and-sisters/). If I remember correctly the consensus was that daggers are better for the alpha strikes, while shields are the better allround choice. I think both loadouts are viable and we see a mix of both in a lot of tournament armies. Ben Savva, who uses big units of Sisters of Slaughter to great success (and, according to his interview to The Honest Wargamer, also thinks they will surpass Witch Aelves in efficiency with the new GHB 😉) uses one unit of each. So I would say that’s not a bad place to start.

 

 

 

@tomcabator15 As already pointed out I can’t give too much advice on meeting engagements. Maybe someone more experienced might help you out. For now I would probably look at InSaint's first impressions for what to take in your list.

Nice, I think I will make many sisters of slaughter now that they cost the same as the Witch Aelves and the Heartrenders also seem very fun to use. Thanks

[AoS 2 - Daughters of Khaine Discussion]

I'm looking at starting a DoK 1000 pts army of Draichi Ganeth for meeting engagements, what units would you recommend? 

I already have a unit of Bloodsisters and Doomfire Warlocks.

[Age of Sigmar videogames - Open Discussion]

So with the announcement a few months ago of an AoS video game being developed by ex-relic devs and published by Focus, most probably an RTS, I began to think what other games could fit nicely in the setting.

The first idea that came to me was a Souls like Action RPG based on the Silver Tower board game, where you play a Stormcast (introducing the dead/revive mechanic and losing your humanity with every death) trying to escape a Silver Tower. Just imagine that being developed by FromSoft, I think the AoS universe could really support a grim narrative the Souls games have.

Also a TW: AoS wouldn't be that insane of an idea after TW: Warhammer trilogy comes at an end. I'd prefer a TW:Middle Earth, but I don't think its going to happen any time soon with WB holding the rights to Middle Earth.

Finally I'd love to see a digital version of the tabletop, I know its never going to happen, but it would be awesome. Maybe they could use the same business model as gwent, where there are random packs but its not impossible to get good stuff.

What are your opinions?

 Very poor mobility in that list. A good opponent will find it pretty easy to isolate units. Even with a Gav Bomb (I’m assuming with the Evos) once you’ve landed you’re not going to be able to do much with that unit past the initial drop.

If I’m your opponent:

Im guessing you’re going to use the Sequitors with Castellant buff as an anchor. That’s a nasty unit so i’ll Just ignore it, or if I have a powerful unit that gets to fight first eg Gristlegore or lots of MW that’s where that stuff goes.

5 Libs isn’t enough to do anything, just there to make up the numbers.

5 Evos are nasty when they drop but then what are they gonna do? 5 also isn’t going to wipe any unit that costs more than their initial cost either meaning at best they will only repay their cost. A good opponent can make it hard to land them anywhere useful anyway. 

None of your heroes are much on their own, they’re all about their buffs. 

As always, if you like the army and just want to run it, go ahead and have a great time. But if you really want to win then unless you’re up against fairly new players or comparatively weak armies this is pretty easy to beat.

It’s elite without being elite enough and lacks focus and synergy. It’s very much 3 separate buffed units. Easy to take apart. SC’s biggest weaknesses are small numbers and average movement/poor summoning, and this list kind of just magnifies that.

What would be good changes or units that could help my list? In the end the league was delayed for the release of meeting engagements.

I was thinking of buying the SC! vanguard chamber for the units.

Also with the point changes and battleline requirements of Meeting Engagements I'm dropping the liberators and I'm changing Gavriel with a Lord-Relictor

So, my list now is:

-Lord-Arcanum 160 same traits

-Lord-Castellan 120 w/artifact

-Lord-Relictor 100

-Sequitors x10 260

-Evocators x5 220

-Ballista 110

-Swords Spell 30

Total: 1000 pts
