Just wondering if anyone uses a temple of skull? Is it just far too big to fit with the 3” clearance? Can you take a temple of skulls aswell as a skull alter? Cheers

Ive wondered about this for sometime. I’ve just finished batch painting 60 bloodletters but don’t have a BoUF yet so I haven’t been able to test this at all. I’ll be very interested for any further updates 👌

Blood warriors as chaff. Wrathmongers and bloodsecrator up the middle. Wrathmongers long ways so I can run them up without them getting in the way. Bloodletters on one side with the bloodmaster, skarbrand on the other. Skullcrushers on the side with the bloodstoker and skullreapers in behind. i whipped the skullcrushers for +4 to charge including the hornblower and suicide charged them in to take out 5 sequitors and a couple of evocators. Lost 5 out of 6 to the evocators retaliation. But I’d opened them up and next turn was able to charge skarbrand in with a double attack within both wrathmongers and bloodsecrator. Game was pretty much over at that point. Bloodletters were in the double bubble too but we’re not needed. Skullreapers were ready to be whipped and charge if needed. skullcrushers don’t really do much once they’ve charged, so I like to whip them to make so they make it in. They took out the 5 sequitors on the charge then did like 4-5 wounds with their actual attacks lol.

My last game I ran reapers, bloodsecrator, bloodstoker, 2x priests, skarr, bloodmaster(General) 2x 5 blood warriors 20x bloodletters 5x wrathmongers 5x skullreapers 6x mighty skullcrushers skulls Im still a little bit restricted with what I have available but managed to make do with the bloodmaster general just to get reapers and the bloodletters run with the wrathmongers and bloodsecrator to make them viable. My opponent was Stormcast. He ran ballistas, evocators, sequitors, lord castellant and staunch defender etc. Formed up and I ran through him with ease in 3 battle rounds. The game before that was 3k against nighthaunt. Chainrasps, grimghasts Lady Olynder, kurdoss, blackcoach, vampire lord allied in for the grimghasts. Guardian of souls etc, all the standard stuff. Nothing too scary. I used much the same lineup, added more bloodletters, 20dogs, another bloodsecrator etc. Held the middle easily with all the anti magic. Almost tabled him, close on victory points though. I dont have any FEC, skaven, Slaanesh in my area so I’m yet to face them. Definitely going to be some painful lessons at some stage in the future lol. Looking at dropping the blood stoker, skullcrushers, bloodletters, bloodmaster for BoIR and WoKB that I’m working on currently.

Very well put. Totally agree that the mortals have not been shown any love in this regard. I’ve got around 4K points to pick from and I’m fond of my mortals for sure but they just don’t get the work done. I typically bring 2 priests, 1 bloodsecrator, 5 wrathmongers and 3 sets of 5 blood warriors as my mortal side of my army. The warriors are a meat shield exclusively and the wrathmongers I spend the whole game running towards the action in a line perpendicular to the enemy. I’ve settled on reapers of vengeance and double attack with skarbrand with every chance I get. I’ve two more bloodthirsters I’m working on currently to take advantage of tyrants. It feels like tyrants of blood is this books equivalent of gore pilgrims from the previous tome. You almost have to take it.

Yea quiet possibly. I’d be interested to hear from someone who’s run a full tyrants list post points adjustments. My last few games were a breeze, although I’ve only faced stormcast, seraphon and nighthaunt recently. Regardless I’m really happy with the book and I can only see upside once I’ve finished my next two bloodthirsters.

Can I ask what your lineup was? I’ve been cleaning up with skarbrand and reapers of vengeance. Got a couple more bloodthirsters on the go. With the latest point drops a full tyrants list with reapers of vengeance seems incredibly overpowered.

Hi all Ive been following this forum for the last couple of months. Thought it was high time I got involved. I generally play in a tight knit group of 3, stormcast, nighthaunt and myself. Big thanks to everyone for all the tips and tricks. Recently off the back of consecutive decisive wins over nighthaunt at 3k and stormcast at 2k. Loving all the discussion and I’ll hopefully be back with some battle reports in the future . cheers all
