By the way guys, I've been looking up but didn't find a real answer about "VErdant Blessing". Can we use it in LC since it's said that all sylvaneth wizard know that spell ? What about the Warsong revenant ? In short, is there a way for us to pop an awakened wyldwood and some dryads ?

Then I Won iniative, failed to cast anything, so couldn't heal the Spire. Shemtek shooting didn't do anything again.
I moved the demigryphs aiming for a charge on the heroes locked with the Phoenix. Moved my heroes on the left flank in order to not be taken in a pincher move by the wolves behind me, got the Eternal Guards out of the woods to go protect the objective.
I managed to charge the Demis in his heroes, the fulmis killed bella with their shooting attack and charged the Prince who killed one of them with his stomping attack.
My Gryph Knights sadly didn't do much on the charge (halberds). He killed the Spire with his prince during my turn, which was then at 6 Wounds.
With Bella dead, his magic phase wasn't impressive and I dispelled him. I made my lone fulmi go to to 2+ using the command and he tanked!Vargskyr was down to three wounds and Radukar to 6 but he charged them in my heroes anyway. Unleash hell from the Hurricanum killed the Vargskyr, Radukar came into contact of the Hurricanum and Knight Incantor but he made mistake that would allow me to pile in my Freeguild general in contact and removing enough wounds for me to kill him next turn. His direwolves didn't do much on my eternal guard. We just did the heroic phase of my turn 3 and he conceded.
I've made a few mistakes in the game, but the phoenix tanking his heroes during a whole turn1 was the best move I made. I managed to tie around 1000points with 290! I don't own a painted Frostheart but I imagine they're even more durable especially with the Ironoak artisan trait. I really like LC's signature CA, but you all know here how usefull it is, right
Radukar can be quite powerful. He made a whopping 16 MWs over two turns, turning the Gryphs into a pulp!

So today, I played at 1500 points of LC against a Vyrkos Soulblight list.
My list was a bit weird :
Allegiance: Cities of Sigmar
- City: Living City
- Mortal Realm: Ghyran
- Grand Strategy: Bastions of Hope
- Triumphs:
LEADERS
Anointed on Flamespyre Phoenix (290)
- Artefact: Spear of the Hunt
Celestial Hurricanum with Celestial Battlemage (280)
Freeguild General (100)
- General
- Command Trait: Druid of the Everspring - Ironoak Skin
- Artefact: Deepmire Cloak
Knight-Incantor (125)
UNITS
3 x Demigryph Knights (175)
- Cavalry Halberd
3 x Demigryph Knights (175)
- Cavalry Halberd
10 x Eternal Guard (125)
2 x Dracothian Guard Fulminators (230)
CORE BATTALIONS
*Warlord
ADDITIONAL ENHANCEMENTS
Artefact
His list was :
Allegiance: Soulblight Gravelords
- Lineage: Vyrkos Dynasty
- Grand Strategy:
- Triumphs:
LEADERS
Prince Vhordrai (455)
Radukar the Beast (315)
Belladamma Volga, First of the Vyrkos (200)
- General
UNITS
10 x Deathrattle Skeletons (85)
10 x Deathrattle Skeletons (85)
5 x Blood Knights (195)
1 x Vargskyr (115)
We played "Marking Territory". I deployed everything on my left flank with the Flamespyre on the middle and refused the right flank. He won the the initative but gave me first round.
I chose the mission tactics that requires three units to run ( Knight, Freeguild Gen and Demigryphs). Hero phase, I managed to cast Ironoak on the Flamespyre and it wasn't dispelled (I think that's why I managed to win).
I did nothing with my Shemtek attacks.
On the middle board, the Spyre managed to charge the Prince, Bella and Radukar (charge of 7). I didn't manage to kill Bella on the charge, left her at 2 wounds, despite having finest hour and +1 to hit with the command.
On the left flank, my two fulminators killed three blood knights. The 5 should have died but I forgot to attack with the dracoths.
During his turn 1, he cast the spell that makes a unit take as much MW as its run charge, moved u^his skellies to block the way for the incoming gryphs, removed bella from the fight, did three wounds on the fulmis and put my phoenix to 6 wounds. He brang the Vargskyr to the Spyrefight, but his three heroes failed to kill it thus didn't won adequate tactics. He also invoked 10 direwolves in my back field they failed his charge. I killed the remaining blood knights.

Hey guys,
Quick question. Does "Hunters of the Hidden Paths" count as having moved for a unit benefiting from it ? Might be fun to set up Irondrakes or sisters that way.
Also is there a way for LC units to reroll ones ? 4 fulminators hit hard but I miss the Knight Azyros ability ... -
Cheers @readercolin. I've played a 1500pts game this afternoon against a Blood of Khorne army. At the end of the first turn, the game was decided in my favor.
My 4 fulminators infiltrated wiped out 21 bloodletters, damaged his bloodthirster which was finished off by the anointed on Flamespyre on the left flank, my 2*3 demigryph tanked his 6 juggernauts and khorne doggies on the right flank, then killed doggies + 3 juggs (accompanied by the huricanum) but I feel the fulmi on charge even if they hit like a truck, can be pretty swingy (dice usually aren't in my favors).
-
Hey guys,
Do we have access to a reroll one to hit in CoS now that the Knight Azyros doesn't do it anymore? -

I think the face is meant to be non European.
I'm aware, still ugly :). The black hero from the first Warhammer Quest had a much better done face. Hence GW sucks at women's faces :). Maybe it's a scale problem ? Anyway that was just my two cents on something not really interesting!

The sculpt isnt bad, its the same as a lot of female faces on heavy metal paintjobs. They do male faces well, female faces they seem to try and paint the same as male and it just doesnt work.
GW hasn't been doing a great job with female faces, that's a fact. But I think this is one is really ugly, that's just my point of view :). Lena Stormspire's face was also a pain for the eyes.
Still my personal taste, I think some old metal cast or wfb mini were better when it came to female faces. But that's just me -

I keep looking at Xandire to figure out what went so wrong with her head and I think I figured it out... does anyone else think what I highlighted is actually her hair painted gold? I can't for the life of me settle on what tf they wanted this part of her head to be!
The sculpt is just ugly

Any chance the Heraldor is going to change?
And as I guess not, would it be acceptable to be played as Vexillor if I put a Banner on his back?
Just take a picture of the apotheosis banner, print it, stick it on a pole, convert a little bit. You've got a brand new and unique Vexillor ^^

Yes, but unfortunately that's all they can get - they have a 4+ listed but taking the shields can give them a +1 bonus. The Javelins on the other hand have a native 3+ that can be buffed to 2+ (which I know it feels odd putting resources into Prosecutor defenses, but here we are).
Also the hammers suffer the same Prime issue of no Grandhammer listed as an option, which is why I think it's deliberate and not a mistake. I guess they got tired of the Prime carrying more than 50% of the weight for that unit...
i WAS WAITING FOR 3.0 to make those beautiful prosecutors viable. I'll wait for 4.0

I thought the Cathay trailer was really slick and very well crafted. It was impressive for what it was.
But... it was so predictable. The faction seems like a thin pastiche of "stuff that Westerners vaguely know about China" - fireworks, terracotta warriors, paper lanterns, junks, Chinese dragons. All of those elements looked awesome on screen, but it didn't bring any new ideas, just the same old stereotypes of Orientalism. I was impressed by the spectacle, but I wasn't interested.
Maybe that's because that's what ancient chinese culture is about ? Maybe because stereotypes are based on historical reality or a not distant one? When you think about France, you think about bérets, baguette bread, wine and cheese. Guess what, we do eat cheese a lot, we do eat baguettes a lot, we do have so many different kind of wines that we drink but nowadays only parisian chic girls or 80 yo in the countryside wear berets.
I wouldn't be surprised or offended if somebody would portray my people like that.
Also, they did the same with Khemri, Brettonia, The Empire etc. They took historical characters and periods of history and morphed them into a fantasy setting. Brettonia is Medieval Europe, especially England and France. The Empire is 15th/16th century Holy Roman Empire, Kislev is 17th century Polish Empire, Vampire Counts are adapted legends about Vlad Tepes, etc.
You can disagree with what they did, alright, but they're not writing a doctoral thesis about one aspect of ancient chinese culture. It's a video game.-

not sure why you think he doesn't add anything specific, since you can use his ability on top of all out defense / finest hour to counteract rend. For instance, Vindictors with all out defense AND the lantern will save on 2+ against rend 1, or you won't need to use all out defense and save a CP / be able to use all out attack. Also: you can have the lantern on one unit and all out defense on another. Personally I still find him very useful -this might also be because in my area latern of the tempest has been ruled as still working vs MWs on 6s so being able to use it is another plus for the castellant
Cant you just add +1 to armour save in general, abilities and CP included ?

This is perfectly logical. And then I'm thinking of list building as a kind of prisoner's dilemma where you don't take the worst cheese in case someone takes the worst cheese against you. And then the lists are unveiled and you open your eyes to see:
I love this hobby haha
My dream come true. Give me a week, no more cheese.

Or they bring new HQ on Dragons, would also be fine with me.
There's a Knight Draconis hero talked about in : https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/08/02/even-more-dragons-are-coming-to-the-age-of-sigmar-and-now-theyve-got-riders/

these are literally the best looking dragons gw have ever made, and are the only dragons that actually look like dragons. the star drake looks like a hunk of horribly posed plastic compared to these.
Although they used to be FW, The Carmine, Warpfire and Magma Dragons were pretty dope

Nice starting pack for anyone wanting to start SCE and on the cheap side!

He was able to take a lord celestant on dracoth because of the ghb 2020 faq which says that “on dracoth” is a subtitle instead of a title.
I can't find that in the 2020 FAQs. Would you be so kind as to tell me exactly where to look ?

I played against this person in the 3rd round and lost by a very wide margin. The following is my takeaway from playing against it.
1) This person had a very low amount of drops, and could force me to take the first turn.
He had 5 drops right ? That's not very low nor a lot.
What amazes me is taht he was able to play a LCoD. I've never been allowed to play anything but an unmounted Lord Celestant.-
