  1. I just ran a Khorne mortals list this weekend with the Chaos Lord on Karkadrak as my General in Goretide with the runeblade artifact and I can definitely confirm that he can absolutely lay waste to things. At one point he was in range of my Bloodsecrator, he was Whipped to Fury and had Killing Frenzy as well.
  2. Does anyone happen to have handy a link or know a list of the various AoS box sets and their approximate release date (the month) over the years?
  3. Interesting about the possibility of Giants. I posted the above last November. When I was in the UK at one of GW's major stores I was told about how an army of "giant" models was coming for destruction this year and then he went on to talk about a Soulblight specific battletome end of this year or start of 2021. I took all of that with a grain of salt but now it seems a little more legit.
  4. I'm just getting into Khrone and I am in the process of building my Mighty Skullcrushers and I too have not yet decided what is best. My current plan is to run a Mortal Khorne list and use a unit of six Skullcrushers. Their whole purpose in my army is one of two things. First being, since they are a unit of six they can do great mortal wounds on the charge, however if they get charged or I need them to tie something up for a while they can do that. If I want them to be killing things with their weapons then I'll put killing frenzy on them. Currently I'm leaning towards Bloodglaives so that I can get the rend with them and that will allow them to hurt some bigger harder hitting models. They have the wounds and saves to tie something nasty up. Looking at the math with no buffs the Bloodglaives do slightly more damage to things with a 2+ or 3+ save and the same against things with a 4+ save. Then Ensorcelled out damages the Bloodglaives against thigns with a 5+, 6+ or no save. So it really depends on what you want them to go up against.
  5. Not to necro this thread, but I just want to confirm that this is in fact the case that every Khorne Daemon (that isn't a named Character) can use the Reapers of Vengeance command ability "Leave None Alive" and not just your general?
  6. Ok thanks, that certainly makes for some interesting combinations with some of the Slaves to Darkness Heros that are marked Khorne.
  7. The FAQ for Khorne says that a mortal can be a general in a Reapers of Vengrance or Blood Lords Slaughterhost. Does this mean that mortal could take the the command trait and artifact? I ask because the "normal" command traits and artifacts of power are specific to mortals, bloodbound or daemons but the slaughterhosts ones do not specifically mention that criteria. I realize that Reapers of Vengeance and The Bloodlords artifact says "The first Hero to recieve a daemonic gift must be given the artifact" however the generic Daemon only artifacts are listed as "Daemonic Weapons" or "Daemonic Adornments" I figured the argument could go either way. Since "Daemonic Gifts" doesn't specifically say daemons only but obviously Daemon is in the name "Daemonic Gifts"
  8. What is this supplement people are talking about? Some change coming to AoS? All I know are the two major updates they do per year. Generals Handbook in summer and then again in Winter.
  9. Something to consider, is that if you have an extra artifact you could give a Khorne Daemon Prince "The Crimson Crown" artifact, so that he can use his command ability once per battle round for free. You can basically keep it up indefinitely, so long as he is alive.
  10. I would think LoN would be updated before DoK, Idoneth and Stormcast if they weren't the poster boys of AoS based simply on release order of the current battletomes. Plus there is some terminology in LoN that is still pre 2.0. However, I also wouldn't be surprised if GW started to phase out LoN since it is kind of a soup Death Faction, who knows maybe they have specific plans for Soulblight. We already have a Ghoul, Ghost and Super Skeleton faction, only thing really missing is Vampires.
  11. I would LOVE for a Soulblight battletome! I've done a ton of custom kit bashing for VLoZD's and Blood Knights unfortunatley they just don't seem to be as competitive in today's meta. I'm currently in the process of making a Vampire Khorne army, but a legit Soulblight battletome would be amazing.
  12. To me it is looking like the only real solid list would be with a Nurgle marked DP and the Plaguetouched Warband. Maybe Archaon and and various things too.
  13. The way myself and others read it is: you must have 1 Hero be the "leader" or fill that single Hero slot as a minimum. Then, it just says "7 Mortal Salves To Darkness Nurgle" units. The Chaos Lord, Sorc Lord and Warshrine all have those Keywords (assuming you give them Mark of Nurgle), so I don't see why they cannot be included in that.
  14. Same. I'd prefer Khorne. In fact my first StD list I built was Khorne mainly, but Nurgle seems to be super solid.
  15. Oh yeah should have made that more clear. also forgot a block of 15 Chaos Warriors. The Marauder Horseman are two units of 5. So your 7 mortal StD Nurgle units are: Sorc Lord, Warshrine, Marauders x40, Warriors x15, Knights x5, Marauder Horseman x5, Marauder Horseman x5.
  16. Your opponent likes rolling 6's? Not anymore! Ravagers List General: Chaos Lord on Karkadrak, Command Trait that gives him +2 wounds, realm artifact that gives -3 rend to his axe (250 pts) Chaos Sorc Lord, Spell Mask of Darkness to teleport a unit (110 pts) Daemon Prince - Command Trait -1 to hit in Combat Phase, artifact that increases his aura to 18" (210 pts) Chaos Warshrine (170 pts) Chaos Marauders x40 (300 pts) Chaos Knights x5 (180 pts) Chaos Warriors x15 (300 pts) Chaos Marauder Horseman x5 (90 pts) Chaos Marauder Horseman x5 (90 pts) Mindstealer Sphiranx (100 pts) Plaguetouched Warband (180 pts) 1980 pts, 75 bodies, 151 wounds, 8 units, 3 drops Everyone takes the mark or Nurgle and everyone except the Daemon Prince and Mindstealer Sphiranx is in the Plaguetouched Warband, which means anytime your opponent rolls a 6 to wound they take 1 mortal wound. In addition, you put the Daemon Prince command ability on a unit that is going to be in the thick of things, so anytime your opponent rolls a 6 to hit that unit they take D3 mortal wounds. Furthermore with the general being Nurgle, your units are -1 to hit from range and your heros are -2 to hit from range (Look Out Sir and Nurgle Aura). I think with this list you largely play a game of attrition and sit on objectives, meanwhile you're summoning in Marauders / Marauder Horseman on their backlines
  17. I think they might be allegiance locked. I'm not a Khorne player so I cannot confirm, maybe someone else can?
  18. Are you saying a Khorne Warshrine in a Slaves to Darkness army can use Hexgorger Skulls? Because I was told that they can only be used in a Khorne army. However, if in fact the Hexgorger's could be used in Slaves to Darkness, that would be pretty amazing.
  19. Yeah, I'm a little disappointed with that because the model looks amazing and short of him being utter garbage I plan on using in most of my lists.
  20. Yeah but this is the week we'd usually see some more stuff, this weekend the YouTubers should have the Battletome and information which they will then post about. At least that's how its been with Bonereapers, Maw Tribes, Orruk Warclans, Cities, etc. Also, the updated warscrolls should be up on GW's New Zealand website in a few hours.
  21. So I really like the white / black contrasting colors here. However, I'm not the best at painting white and was wondering what recommendations people had to best replicate the off white color of the mount?
