Blisterfeet

Hi everyone, so I am finishing my first project a 1000 point FEC army (already jammed some games). Being payday soon I want to waste no time starting my next one..just way I am! Fyreslayers are my choice but I like dwarfs as a whole. My questions are simple Is this list legal? Is this the best way for a balanced list (bit of everything only doing 1k atm). Allegiance: ?? Can it be Fyreslayers Auric Runefather on Magmadroth (280) - General - Trait: ?? Auric Runesmiter (120) - Runic Iron Auric Runeson (100) - Ancestral War-axe Runelord (80) - Allies - unbinds on +2 (maybe not bother?!) 10 x Vulkite Berzerkers (160) - Pairs of Handaxes 10 x Vulkite Berzerkers (160) - Pairs of Handaxes 3 x Skywardens (100) - 1x Skyhooks - Bit of range Total: 1000 / 1000 Extra Command Points: 0 Allies: 80 / 200 Wounds: 75 Constructive criticism is welcome and if you think I could build something a bit more fun or this is the wrong area apologies.

You see this is why I love this forum! Thanks @XReN for this as you've saved me wasting/spending money in the future. I remember @Honk earlier in the thread saying while a Mortarchs doesn't bring anything (other than additional Magic) to my army I could jam a Arkhan or a Mortis engine/Cart in. Shame fancied some Skelebois. Wonder if the other mercs are worth it?!? Again would be model dependent as I don't really care if I am super optimising.

That's good info I suppose I can just ally them then. Thanks for the heads up though I don't own all the books picking up GHB19 tomorrow. Question from this - I have FEC, Rule book and GHB19 tomorrow. Any others I need?

I was thinking about Ghoul patrol (as I have 30 ghouls already) then an additional 20 for summons and 1 of each leader courtier as I was impressed by Varghulf and like the idea of having flexibility in summons. Then I have a AAR, a AKoTG, and 3 flayers. Then because rule of cool and they are bringing mercenaries in ghb19. I want to go Necro+20 Skelebobs with swords/shields and a wight with a black axe. Complimenting this would be 2 endless spells of chalice and maelstrom. Not aiming for competitive but if all goes well might still head to a big event and jam it. Need to get familiar with AoS versus 40k which I played before. So this is a long way off. What about you@Finklelord?

@Finklelord @Gwendar thanks for your advice. Went 1 win 1 loss tonight. Won my first game against Sylvaneth we had a close deployment, I successfully got of misamal shroud on my AKoTG and saw an exposed Drycha and managed to cripple her turn 1. From there I spiralled out of control with objectives and ghoul summons. He admitted he placed his forests poorly and had his tree ancient too far away from the main fight. Game 2 I went for a similar plan as he blocked out the main board with forest summons (made him go first due to long deployment) and made only two lanes down the sides for me to attack through. He read my play and ganged up on my AKoTG who went down one flank and killed it turn 2. Once he got his hunters into forests I struggled to engage with the ghouls without taking damage and his reroll saves stopped alot of attacks from my ghouls. This time the Drycha stayed alive until the end and the AoE crippled me over and over and he managed to break the ghoul line and get to my AAR. He just won in the final turn 2 hunters and a 1 wound Drycha Vs a 4 wound Varghulf (summoned). Tabled me turn 4. Overall I am sure I played game 2 real bad, but I had loads of fun and it's only ever going to be casual level so happy with everything. Thanks again with your advice!! Now to finish the rest of the army for 2k and paint the remainder of the bigger units.

Hi everyone, Got my first 1k list built based off all your advice and I have my first game tonight versus Sylvaneth and was wondering if there are any units I should prioritise. I know the friend has hunters, ancient treelord and dyrads and I was wondering what if any advice can be provided. My list - AAR, AKoTG, 20 and a 10 blob of Ghouls, 3 Flayers for summons (all I had time for) and 2 CP in the bank. @Finklelord maybe you have some feedback as your friend play trees!

Quick question for people that own an official Archregent model what size is the base/model footprint? Thanks in advance

That is some out of the box thinking but I like it!! Thanks

Can I ask what is the 'Alpha-Prime' model you are speaking about as I need to make a AAR for my army and I'm intrigued about this model and conversion. I googled it and didn't find anything useful.

Cheers @Honk I think rule of cool will always take precedent for me personally. All the advice has been great so far and really helped with building etc and I have now finished my assembly and buying the next stages. General question; I have rarely seen Ghast couriers in any lists, what is the reason for this? I see alot of the horror or flayer Courtiers and Varghulf but not the cheaper one for Ghouls. And Secondly do people aim to alpha strike with their FEC monsters at the high prior targets or is it the same as 40k and is more about screening and objective grabbing and alpha striking is generally a poor choice?

This is most cost effective (as I have 2 SC boxes) and doesn't go too hard on the competitive side. just looking for suggestions on allies now and if I've messed up with any artefacts or spells. I've had a suggestion of a Mortis engine are there any other suggestions? Or would you say just get more battleline guys? The reason for avoiding adding a AAR is the availability of the model at the moment I am sure I will add one when sold separately by GW. @Stridarion I think the preference is TG over ZD judging by lists and this thread I have read. /Note will be my last list post as don't wanna clog up the thread.

This is all good feedback so I appreciate it. I was looking for a FEC core with the addition of an Ally that synergizes with the army. Would you have any recommendations of how I would do this? With the basis I already own to SC boxes. (I know you said you were fairly new yourself) Be as blunt as you like. Only stipulation is I play in a friendly environment so a super tuned list may make me 'that guy'.

You are right I mistakenly put that instead of Deathwatch (the flayers) battalion for 110 points. My mistake 😂

Greetings Everyone, Another new member of the FEC after taking the plunge into AoS after years of 40k. Basically I have 2 start collecting boxes and this list below is my aim with Arkhan as I live the model (though could be persuaded of another version of the model neferata etc). I'm building all tomorrow and I want to double check two things. Question - For a casual gaming group (so not looking for GT level of list building) is this; A) Legal? B) What artefacts, traits and lores to pick and where to put them.
