What have been in the non-Mega 5-0 list? Was it the Coven Throne build? ... I'm looking at something like.. Kastelli with Vzlod (RC/Amulet), Vhordrei, Vamp Lord (maybe a Necro or Belldama). 2-3 units of Knights, 2 units of Zombies, unit of Grave Guard. Plus some Wolves. Maybe Bats. Double Dragon doesn't give a lot of wiggle room, I have pointed it out. Stilln not sure if I wanna go Vyrkos with dudespam and Vzlod, but eh. Less to paint.

So with the team tournament I was preparing for done, I'm gonna finally start working on Soulblight. It's been months of ****** around with OBR (which I hated) and Sons of Behemat, which were fun but not really my style. As a Sons player, I had -2/-3 rend on demand.. and I still had trouble taking things out. In Soulblight, it looks like I'm probably going to have to run double Zombie Dragon for the threat projection and rend, backed up by lots of stuff that deals mortals on hit. You guys find you struggle with armour skew/killing? Would you run Kastelli Night spam? They seem a little lackluster.

What do does Big Drogg do? I assume he's just a Gatebreaker? Does he benefit from Longshanks? It's cool to see him being played in SB and doing well.

I'm playing Taker Tribe, which is about holding objectives and attrition. I think the baby ones are too fragile. Taker. Kraken (Monsterously Tough), Kraken (Sandals), Stomper (Tome), Breaker (Amulet) Playing in a team event at the end of the month, which should be sweet.

Funny you say that- a buddy completed my 4 big boi comission yesterday. Just in time for them to apparenty be amazing and a tournament tomorrow. ... But yeah, that's what I like about Soublight for longevity, but dislike for trying to work out what I paint first. The whole book seems valid, which is sweet. The army is so full of stuff I don't know where I want to go first. I feel like a VZLOD and/or Lord Vhordrei is needed. Probably Manfred because he's really good at everything. I don't know if I want a Vengorian, I think it's kind of either that or a Vamp Lord general. Probably Grave Guard. I guess the question really boils down to.. do I want to play with a bunch of Blood Knights or not.

A buddy just finished my army. Tournament Sunday and team tournament coming up.

Well, I think actually painting SB is going to be my next project. I've purchased heaps, hopped over to other stuff and I'm back again a few months later. So in the interest of cutting down my painting queue, what kind of build do you guys think it's the most competitive for singles events? Triple monster is probably the way to go. But I guess that pushes into Kastelli with Knights, or Vyrkos with zombies and stuff. Ehh.

Reason I want the Vial, is because I literally just played into a -1 to wound debuff and it was horrendous for my damage output. The Vial always seems good.. but a single unbind? Eh. The Net seems really situational. Why not just roar and all out attack? Gating Megas seems hilarious. ... Also my buddy is doing amazing work. Can't wait to pick my dudes up!

Why hello, super inactive thread. I wanna talk about relics in competive lists. I have a tournament 3/10 and a team event 30/10. Lists for 3/10 due Friday. I'm running Taker, with two Krakens and a Stomper. Double Magnificent for extra relics. ... As for the Kraken general, I think taking either Extremely Intimidating or Monsterously Tough is the way to go. -1 to hit in 3" is solid, can blunt a little damage and protect other giants. But an extra 5 wounds is just flat always good and the opponent can pile in outside of 3" with a huge base. Warstomper has two choices. Either the Arcane Tome or Manticore Venom. Shield and Flaming Sword are both great spells, but I don't see myself getting them off in most games. Venom however, is going to be amazing on his club literally all the time. But it would leave me without the ability to unbind. Gatebreaker gets the Amulet of Destiny. Done. And the last Kraken has three options. Jaws of the Megalodon, Krakenskin Sandals or take the Arcane Tome for the Warstomper. Sandals are really good on a mid output gianty. The extra attack, rend and flat damage is sweet. I think Jaws might be okay, but kinda ****** in comparison. And I see him making good use of the Tome, but really missing the Sandals. Either way, I think I need a minimum of one dispel to take a shot at stopping Chains or stuff like Blades of Putrefaction. Blades is the difference between killing a giant a turn or not. Thoughts? I'm thinking.. Tough, Vial, Amulet, Sandals. No magic defense.

Yeah, I feel you. I've played three games with Sons and I feel like I can take them to a tournament and do okay. I got a singles event 3/10 to practice for teams 30/10. Legitimately looking forward to it. I had two games Saturday against Wanderers. Holy ****** does Blades do work. I had my Breaker with Amulet, Arcane Shield and AAD take 38 damage in a round from buffer Bloat Drones or whatever. First game he killed a gargant and conceded bottom of two, having scored zero primary. Second game I changed tactic, hold back back and not rush him. Lost the Breaker (the 38) and Kraken redeployed 6 to safety next turn. I ended up losing two gargants all said, opponent conceded turn 3 having scored zero primary again. He was an experienced player, but it was rough. Mortal wounds done in my turn were super rough. ... And here's some work in progress shots. I'm commissioning a buddy of mine to paint my army. Viking inspired frost giants. Here's some WIP shots he sent me this morning.

Is there a Soulblight/Death discord?

So I proxied the army up and played against a buddy last night. My army is currently being shipped to me. I'm actually surprised how fun the army is to play. Just a bunch of big bois kicking objectives around and face tanking hits. List was Taker Tribe, Gatebreaker with Amulet, Kraken with Lantern/Flaming Sword, Warstomper and a second Kraken. Double Magnificent, accidentally played a relic down. Oops. I think I'm gonna either add the Arcane Tome for another dispel or change the army to three drops. Kicked objectives, bullied the centre, opponent couldn't kick me off. He controlled the Gatebreaker with a spell that stops actions, which kinda sucked. I managed to win convincingly, which was a surprise. The only real issues I can see are high volume mortal wound shooting, annoying ****** move-blocking and Gotrek. I honestly don't know what I can do about Gotrek except don't let him engage.

I took the dive and purchased a bunch of big bois. Four megas. Gonna paint them as frost giants. Light Blue skin and snow bases. Legitimately excited to start the project. Question I have for you, is how customisable is the kit? I want to make two Kraken Eaters. Preferably with different heads/etc? Edit: I should rephrase. I'm building one of each and a second Kraken. There enough parts to make a second distinct Kraken?

Also the problem I have is that in this team event, warscrolls can't be replicated across players. It's a six player team and our Tzeentch player wants the portals. There may have to be a fight to the death over them. Lol.

Points, really.

What team event was this? Can I get a link, please?

I'm not 100% on a list, but I'm gonna be trying out Manfred, Nagash, Vengorian and 60 Zombies. It's for a team tournament.

Anyone got any tips/videos for running Nagash in Soulblight? Gonna try it out for the first time on Sunday.

Well, I got a game against Skaven tonight. Knowing my buddy, it's going to be Thanquol, multiple Cannons and a lot of shooting. I don't see it working out well. lol. But I'll give it my best shot. ... The more I play V3, the more I dislike how shooting feels like it's way better.

Biggest problem with taking Mir Kainan is the fact I give up Endless Duty. Morteks love Endless Duty. But they also love Bludgeon and Shieldwall. But I suppose it doesn't matter, now that I can run multiple Bludgeons again. It's also weird, but my army wouldn't have a relic or warlord trait as both my characters are named. And yeah- the 5 extra Morteks are super useful. Scoring unit, screening unit, a unit to fill out another battalion slot, make it easier to run 3 units together and score the battle tactic, more models to zone with.. yeah. It's almost worth it just for the Reapers.

Boooooooooooooooooooo *breathe* oooooooooooooooooooooo. I'll probably have to take Hold the Line or something. Still, list-wise, Mir Kainan or no?

Priest on OBR warscroll?

What do you guys think? - Legion: Petrifex Elite - Grand Strategy: Pillars of Belief Liege-Kavalos (185) - General, Mighty Archaeossian, Godbone Armour Nagash, Supreme Lord of the Undead (970) 20 x Mortek Guard (280) 20 x Mortek Guard (280) 5 x Kavalos Deathriders (190) Umbral Spellportal (70) The Burning Head (20) Battle Regiment Total: 1995 / 2000 Wounds: 78 Drops: 1 - Legion: Petrifex Elite - Grand Strategy: Pillars of Belief Mir Kainan (190) Nagash, Supreme Lord of the Undead (970) 20 x Mortek Guard (280) 20 x Mortek Guard (280) 5 x Kavalos Deathriders (190) 5 x Mir Kainan’s Reapers (0) Umbral Spellportal (70) The Burning Head (20) Battle Regiment Hunters in the Heartland (both Morteks) Total: 2000 / 2000 Wounds: 782 Drops: 3 ... So team tournament, only one copy of any warscroll per player, only one of any grand strategy. I've confirmed with the TO that unless changed, Nagash counts as a priest as he's got that tag on his warscroll in OBR (but not Soulblight) so I'm not fighting over Prized Sorcery. The difference in the lists is Mir Kainan vs Leige Kavalos. First list is one-drop, but the Morteks can be roared at to deny Shieldwall. Primarily I want to be one-drop so I can get buffs up before I take Mawkrushas to the face or something. Second list is three-drop, but they can't due to Hunters detachment. The Reapers give me an extra unit so I can take two detachments. Mir Kainan or no? I'm hopefully gonna get a few games testing the second list this week.

Oh- I misread. I thought were were back to what we were. At least we can repeatedly shieldwall, bludgeon, speed bump and such- even if it's not on the same unit.
