Hi chaps,
First time post, and would love to hear what people's thoughts are on my first slaves list that I'm considering. It's two main features are:
- a hammer that should deciminate most things: giving the lord on karkadrak the sword of judgment on his 5 axe attacks and having him fight three times via the chaos lord CA and Godsworn Champions BA. 15 attacks should land 2-3 D6 mortal wounds on average? Plus his other attacks. Knights follow him around to get his CA and help out.
- spell casting reliability: It seems one of strongest things in the book are the spells but they are hard to cast. So tzeentch marked gaunt and sorcerer benefit from the blue scribes rerolls, plus cabalists ability giving +1 to +3 to cast. Gaunt takes the command trait that makes the ritual of sorc might go off on 2+ instead of 3+, and spell familiar so he is reliably casting two spells. His high movement should help address poor spell range and so he can keep up with the marauders to keep sacrificing them in later turns.
Given the reliability of spell casting it makes teleporting 40 marauders for an auto charge near guaranteed.
Meanwhile the warriors tank and the warshrine gives added protection where it's needed.
Could this be strong? I guess main problem is low drop alpha strike armies...?
Apologies I can't work out how to hide the list as I've seen others do, but here it is:
