    Working towards getting Archaon on the board, in the mean time I’m looking at this list. Reapers: BoIR Skarbrand Bloodsecrator x2 Slaughterpriest Daemon Prince Bloodreavers MSU x2 Wrathmonger Fleshhounds 6x Mighty Skullcrushers Double Warlord Battalion Chop and change the artefacts obviously but most likely a Crimson Crown for the DP and Ar’gath or Deathdealer for BoIR. Probably split into two forces with a Bloodsecrator each. Run those Bloodsecrators 6” every turn. Extra CP from battalion if they fail their 4+ CP roll. Theres lot of interesting strategy now around Bloodthirsters. Not being able to stack multiple Cps is a hard work around that requires lots of planning. Without BoUF you basically can only send in 1 Bloodthirster at a time. But even with 6” pile in you risk being pulled out of combat by redeploy. I see this being a short range strategy now, where you don’t run, just move to within 3 1/2 to 6” and if they redeploy then you can still charge. Unless you’ve taken Baleful lords of course. After playing Khorne daemons almost exclusively since the last book, I’m definitely looking forward to experimenting with these new limitations. Everyone’s in the same boat, hopefully we hold up alright.

    Ah ok, that’s disappointing. I wonder why they’ve done that. I don’t have my hands on my GHB yet.
  3. Troll.exe
    Fortunately they have faqd coalition troops, they can be used as battleline. You’ll notice Marauders will come up as battleline in warscroll builder also. I was worried about this too initially.
  4. Troll.exe
    Yea just msu flesh hounds, maybe 20 Marauders. They’ll be screens for the most part.
  5. Troll.exe
    Well I’ve gone full commit. Archaon on the way. 40 Marauders nib and 10 chaos knights to play around with in support. The potential utility of all out def, bronzed flesh and mystic shield from Archaon has got to be the strongest weapon in our tool box. I’m planing to run Reapers with Skarbrand as my other threat. 1 slaughterpriest, bloodsecrator and wrathmongers in support.
  6. Troll.exe
    Is this the general consensus regarding command abilities with auras? So we can still combine Rejoice in the slaughter and Leave none alive?
  7. Troll.exe
    Strangely enough, I feel like 2 priests might still be auto includes. Purely for bronzed flesh and killing frenzy. The potential to stack or share around 2x+1 to save and hit with all out attack and defence is very interesting.
  8. Troll.exe
    Bloodthirsters are almost done with the cap on 1 CA per phase. Bloodsecrator can’t keep up without gore pilgrims. No more leave none alive in combination with either 6” pile in or tyrants. Can’t attack 3 times in a combat phase with relentless fury. Can’t combine attacks at the start on a 4+ with tyrants. Priests take a 66% nerf but... skullreapers with all out attack on themselves is epic, even with the points increase they’re going to be tearing it up all over the board. as mentioned mighty skullcrushers on a 2+, how good. daemon prince with the spare CPs to spam blood slick ground constantly. Any other silver linings?

    From our faq designer commentary “Q: If a Priest knows more than one prayer, can it attempt to chant each of them? A: Yes, as long as no other restrictions apply.” Pretty sure the 1 prayer per phase rule would count as a restriction. Can’t see any way around that.

    I’m fairly deep in the broken realms narrative. Incredible 🤯 Read through immediately, now I can actually check the rules lol.
  11. Troll.exe
    On the topic of skullreapers, I ran 10 in a bloodmad warband recently and it was insane. Wrathmongers, aspiring deathbringer, bloodsecrator in support, wiped to fury with killing frenzy on the charge. I had to use bloodtithe movement to get them into position but it was well worth it when they ran through a fresh unit of pink horrors. 31 mortal wounds and 60 saves lol. They’re just brutal ah. I need more haha.
  12. Troll.exe
    I’d definitely go with blood sacrifice. I normally run two priests. I used to use killing frenzy and bronzed flesh exclusively but I’ve dropped bronzed flesh for blood sacrifice 6 months ago and never gone back. I always want to have 6 tithe by the bottom of turn two or top of turn 3. Then youve got it sitting there ready to go incase you need double turn protection. If the priority roll goes against you just use relentless fury. If you don’t need it then you’ve still got some early game summoning you can spend it on.
  13. Troll.exe
    I’m definitely still to traumatised from my dawnriders to face another mounted unit just yet. Getting dinosaurs vibes more then roo, not too bad really. And the Lord Regent is obviously amazing 👌
  14. Troll.exe
    Hey team, I’m after some clarification on “fights at the start of the combat phase” and Tyrants of blood. If I fight at the start of the combat phase with a bloodthirster in my turn, does the subsequent chained tyrants attack/s count as my first activation?
  15. Troll.exe
    I’ll get some decent photos for the battle. I’ve only got Teclis, 5 Dawnriders, 10 Wardens and tLoE painted so far. Definitely not one of the quicker armies to paint. Models are so good though.
  16. Troll.exe
    Just finished these off, the struggle is real lol. I’ve got a second box sitting there but I need at least 6 months before I can open it. Ive got my first battle coming up, just running what I’ve got painted and assembled. Ill try and bang out a battle report, fingers crossed i don’t forget too much lol. Syar Teclis Cathallar TLoE 2x20 wardens 20 sentinels 5 dawnriders twin stones geminids 2000 points
  17. Troll.exe
    Although buffing a unit of two would be nice, MSU is the way to go. Then you get maximum healing and blood tithe. I’ve always been keen to run 6 in some casual games but yea.... money lol.
  18. Troll.exe
    So I’ve just come across this winning tournament list Syar Teclis Avelanor Cathallar -General, total eclipse 3x10 Wardens 1x20 Sentinels Chronomantic Cogs Umbral Spellportal Extra command point 2000 points The Cogs were a surprise to me. Do you add the +2 to move before you double the movement with Speed of Hysh? Obviously this is relying on keeping those wardens at -2 to hit. Any other insights here? I had a 2500 point list built around the -2 to hit mechanic but I hadn’t really considered trying to fit it in at 2k.

    Allegiance: Khorne- Slaughterhost: Flayed (Host of Chaos) Lord of Khorne on Juggernaut (160) - General- Command Trait: Vessel of Butchery- Artefact: The Slaughterhelm Slaughterpriest (100) - Artefact: The Brazen Rune- Blood Blessing: Blood Sacrifice Skarr Bloodwrath (100) Bloodstoker (80) 9 x Mighty Skullcrushers (480) - Ensorcelled Axes 9 x Mighty Skullcrushers (480) - Bloodglaives 3 x Mighty Skullcrushers (160) - Bloodglaives 1 x Riptooth (40) 3 x Magore's Fiends (80) 9 x Untamed Beasts (70) 9 x Untamed Beasts (70) Brass Stampede (140) Bleeding Icon (40) Total: 2000 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 1 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 155 Heres an example of a solid mounted list that came up recently. Basically you’re trying to get one of those units of 9 to a 2+ save using the flayed host. Blood sacrifice magores fiends and riptooth for maximum blood tithe. Use that tithe for hero phase charging/movement to get a hero kill or get into position to charge with a unit of 9. Untamed beasts as a mobile screen with their turn 1 extra movement. Plenty of wounds on a good save and fairly resistance to being ripped apart by heavy magic/shooting.
  20. Troll.exe
    First of all, this is incredible lol. In terms of the list, it depends on The points. If it’s 2k I’d look at gore pilgrims, probably 2x10 reavers and 1x5 warriors for battleline requirements. That’ll get you your 2 slaughterpriests and secrator in a single drop too. And personally, and this will probably hurt your soul to paint, I’d go 2x10 knights. As mentioned above you get some serious use out of that command ability from your general. Probably top up with 40 Marauders and you’ll be about there.
  21. Troll.exe
    I’ve gone for the 20x20 and 2x10 option. Fun factor definitely played a part in that decision. With the bare minimum to get the battalion then you can kind of argue that you did have that in mind. Also having at least two ranks deep with the wardens with those long spears is just going to look awesome. My play group being the way it is I’ll add more sentinels for the odd game but I’d rather not run a list that I would take no pleasure facing, as my standard lol.
  22. Troll.exe
    This hits close to home lol. I definitely feel ya
  23. Troll.exe
    I’m actually wondering who’s going to get the next narrative book? Teclis? Tyrion? Malerion? Maybe Death will enter the narrative? Or the Orks?
  24. Troll.exe
    As well as the great options @Salyx has covered, Untamed Beasts are a good option. 12” move in the first turn plus run and charge. Plenty of options if you have a Bloodstoker in your lineup.
  25. Troll.exe
    Good luck 👌 fairly enjoyable model to paint I found. I’ve just got 10 wardens, Teclis and TLoE finished. 30 more wardens, 10 dawnriders, 20 sentinels, a Cathallar and Avalenor to go. Still playing round with lists. Feels like the stoneguard battalion with Avalenor is just such a solid combo but it’s all about the aesthetic at this point lol.
