If its the same mechanic for endless prayers like eg Khorne, the heart could mean two things: cheap in points (40-60) and not deniable by your opponent . Hmm a bit situational but still quite a good catch 😄 my personal highlight The snake looks awesome but otherwise meh.

As stated before, it seems that those sects favor certain unit choices. Like Zanthar Kai started doing in BR:Morathi first. But isn’t that the job of battalions? I don’t know how I feel about that.hmm. I hope that playing a variety of units still stays playable and at least semi competitive. Nevertheless, I’m still hyped for the new book and the lore/endless spells within😅

They shared some news today. Among others there is a pic of the new dice: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/02/07/sunday-preview-devotees-of-divine-excess-and-murder-collide/ And yes, quite interesting that there are no warscroll cards announced yet. Too few changes possibly? 😉

Guys, what do you think of the new dice? I have a set of the old ones and I guess I will keep it that way 😄

Those endless spells look amazing 🤩 Hope the Heart add an interesting mechanic to the game. The other look like ordinary predator spells, but they might suprise. I’m literally right now finishing my first 1k force of DoK. So super excited to see the new book. Below some pics of wip. Hope you like it 😉

Fun fact about sequitor prime and two handed weapon loadout. The assembly manual doesn’t even provide a 2-handed option for your prime..ok, it easy quite to workaround. But still, isn’t that ridiculous? A new player would build the less favorable version, without knowing.

Exactly. Usually you equip the prime with the 2-handed weapons, as it gives you (again usually) an extra attack

Luckstone is a must have. Equipped he performs pretty well for me. Star fated arrow hits 5 out of 6 times...and honestly one of the most memorable and enjoyable moments in the whole game. Will it hit or miss? Your palms get wet, heartbeat raises. Adrenaline. Fun.

I was going for regular matched play games with 1k. Afterwards add more models to play more regular sized games ~2k

Hi there, here is my idea for a mixed DoK 1k army. I’ll start with classic Hagg Nar, have some games and learn how to get to 2k eventually. Slaughter queen on Cauldron 330 Hag queen 100 30x witch aelves 300 10x witch aelves 120 5x Blood Stalkers 140 990pts What do you say? Cheers, Milano

As I’m in the middle of starting my DoK army, those new rules left me quite confused. Morathi is a must have for me (I love the model and the lore around here 😄). With her new rule (..+1 attack for Melusai 18“) I feel pushed to go fully snakes. Buuut a mixed army with witch/elves and melusai was something I went for initially. So all snakes then with Morathi, or are there arguments for a mixed melusai/witch elves army as well? Thanks for helping a DoK beginner out😅

What a wonderful time to start a DoK army 😄

It is a blast to play. I had a vanguard army before the point changes, when it was rating at being really bad. Still didnt care, cause they looked so good on the table. Seeing them being now totally dominant (as mega battalion) in every melee oriented game is like they are finally obtaining some gratification. Brings a smile to my face 😃 I use it for games on competitive level only (list+skill). Otherwise a game is over in no time. No fun for both sides

Hi everyone, I've been for 2y in the hobby and now is my time to join the team and start a new DoK army! Some questions still trouble me, so it would be great if you could help me out? I've read the last third of the thread so far and checked several beginner guides and batraps on how to handle a (hopefully) successfull start with the sinister ladies. My main conclusions are: - Big blocks of witch elves/sisters of slaughter - Morathi is quite good - Fast glass cannon army, with some deepstrinking units - Cauldrons are our friends and a good choice to keep important buffers alive (slaughter qeen, hag queen) Questions: - Am I wrong with my conlusions? - Is it a good moment to start, or should I rather wait due to all that new stuff is coming out? (Morathi campaign book, Shadow & Pain box..) - Is Morathi useable as a caster, or should I use my first turn (after casting Mindrazor) to immediately transform her into her "big" form? - Are snake units just nice as MSU or would a pure snake army perform as well? I heard that the shooting version doesnt soak in buffs that well - What about competitive play? Are DoK on a level with other mid-tier armies? And is Hag Narr the only temple for competitive play. Im aware, that the battletome is very 2.0 vanilla and some aspects depend on my local meta (like shooting, or new magic-heavy armies) - Any hints on how to collect a 2k force without spending a trillion € 😀? Ok that was an avalanche of questions. Thank to anybody still trying to answer some of them! Cheers! Milano

What placement did he/she do?

Ok. I played now a couple of games with that new draco list ...and at our club meta it’s absolutely devastating. The 6 buffed kitties deliver such an insane amount of dmg, that i usually charge 2 stronger units/models simultaneously and take them away from game in one turn. No matter how good the dispel of the other army is..they have always enough buffs on them while charging. With longstrikes taking care of chaff or dangerous threats (like the new chantalar lumi caster today). I know my club meta is a bit away from being super-competitive, but I guess I have to shelf the list for a while😢 until some army emerges which will not be deleted on turn 2. So more time to play my goofy palladors 😆

On/off for me as well. Nevertheless, even with -1 still a decent list

Thanks guys 😄 I really appreciate your comments! Means a lot to me Tried to, but the pic upload here always minimizes the quality. Here is a close up of Neave instead. Jumping on her pray. One of my favorite models ever. A pity her battalion isn‘t valid anymore 😭

3 more Raptors to go. Soon the Auxillary Vanguard Chamber is ready for battle! I know it’s probably not the big deal, but hell I‘m excited 😆

@Colgado I have something similar in mind. Instead of the ballistas and ordinator I‘ll play 6xLongstrikes Aetherwings Relictor Castellant I guess the ballistas would do more dmg, but the birds protect charges and the relictor can debuff and port out when needed. Also the +1 save for the kitties is something i wouldn’t go without 😄 I still struggle between vindicators and anvils though

I‘ve seen a lot of SCE pity and bitterness the last few months (including myself 😄)..and I know its just 10pts less mostly, but I really appreciate the extra possibilities now. Several of my lists feel finally „complete“. Without having to make painful cuts. I haven’t really used ext. Artefacts eitherway to much. Feels like a new playground untill we get back to demigod status (new BT) as we should be lorewise ☺️

Had the same thought yesterday! Fasten your seatbelts, Vanguard Chamber is entering the ring 😉 Finally

Hi, I used to play Neave in a fun Vanguard Chamber Army. She is such a great dynamic model. The idea was to get the most out of her “Blacktalon Shadowhammers” Battalion. With +1 to hit and +5”move in the hero phase. But the battalion seems to not be valid anymore. Thus making her imho useless. Especially if you consider building an army around her - there are no synergies. I would rather add her as a regular Zephyros to an army and give her an artefact (Eg. sword of judgement: Hero Killer) Its also 20pts cheaper.

A pity its not optimized for mobile screens

Consider maybe a used tome before the new one comes out? At least in my country there are plenty of them available in the net. Many frustrated SCE players getting rid of it 😅
