    Given the lack of opportunities I've had to actually make use of 4+ Rally (units are either engaged at start of turn, completely obliterated before I can get them out of combat, or not yet hurt), Master of Magic on top of all that really shifts the odds in favor of getting Mindrazor off - and its an insanely valuable force multiplier.

    To me the 4+ rally is a really good defensive option against shooting lists. Otherwise, it's just a good option for some game situations but it's too good to not be played. 

    By the way, I don't know if it will be FAQ in the next days/week but the rally is possible on every units. What about 20 reavers boosted by curse that you can rally each turn ^^

    Just a quick question: Am I missing something or does a Bloodwrack Medusa general not unlock Melusai as battleline anymore. Because despite having an ability called Melusai Kin, she does not have the Melusai keyword (at least in the app). 

    True, you can't anymore unlock it.

    What do you think about giving an Arcane Tome to a Lord of Afflictions and get him Rancid Visitations ?

    The casting value is 6 so even for him it will be easy. It would allow him to easily eradicate big squads.

    Better to use it with the Glottkin. I would rather put him the rustfang artefact by my side.

    For those worried about it I'd definitely say try a few games out. I agree a lot of models seem a little lackluster at the moment, but there are some absolute gems and there are waaay too many rules to wrap your head around just at face value. The new wheel, disease counters, new artifacts, traits, constant healing, etc. etc... it's just bonkers. Try your best to just take a fresh look at the army from the top down rather than trying to think of what's changed. For example you could get hung up on how the combat potential of plague drones has basically disappeared (no bonus for being near heros, don't benefit from the scrivener, no more GUO command ability), but then miss the fact that 3 models can put out 21 shots at a 3+/3+ doing a ton of damage and setting up a bunch of disease counters that then combo with the witherstave on a GUO. Not to mention the fact that 8" is absolutely clutch for the army since everything is so darn slow now. I'm really looking forward to playing it and seeing how it all comes together. 

    One thing that's sticking in my brain is summoning armies might have a pretty solid chance now. A GUO with bell, befouling host for an extra tree, horticulus for an extra tree, nurglings dropping in for more points, and I think there were artifacts and traits to buff it a bit more if needed. Take some beasts for 'cheap' battleline and buffs with horticulous... honestly it sounds pretty neat. Not having any good way to lean into summoning was one of my big complaints in the last book so it's nice to see that change. My only real sadness is I don't think the glottkin are worth the 700 points. They're good, but 700 points is a real steep price point for their current use. I'll try them out but i'm not holding out a lot of hope. 

    Funny because I was really agree with you till I read about the glottkin. 
    To my mind, he's the must have in a list. You can imagine it with everything but his ability is game breaker. To be able to charge at the end of the opponent phase with a potential redeploy that's a big big +. That's why I was agree till I read about the Glott' because you're arguing about "try and you guys will see" and you def apply this suggestion to the glottkin. I'm 100% sure he's a massive change for Nurgle.

    Yeah, it's a bit cheating, but I was talking about generic battleline and not one subfaction 🤣

    Hahah yeah you're right mate. 
    I would love to see Nurglings switching as battleline but it would be to easy for our opponent to score the battle tactic ^^

    Do you know if new plaguebearers got a 5+ ward on the warscroll? Rumors about new pinks are +40 pts for 10 i think I add new plaguebearers to my Legion of the first prince army!!:)

    At least you have plaguebearers with 2 wounds each and a 6+ save & ward with the Legion

    So I've got a cobbled together amount of Daemons and picked up Be'lakor to lead them. I see that most lists are running Kairos in this list as well, is there a particular reason other than him just being very point efficient? Can you compete with LotFP without him? 

    To my mind Kairos is auto include. I've done Top 20 in french solo cup with a LFP and he definitely made a lot of game. 
    God mode in magic, the chaos spawn after a successfull Gift of Change is really good, he changes a dice one time per battle but it can be an absolute game breaker (miss a battle tactic for your opponent on a charge or something).

    I was referring to Slaangors which one poster DarthAnnüss praised the design of, and another ibel criticised the design of.

    I then said that there are two designs that relate to Slaangors (and all AoS miniatures).  The physical model, and the unit warscroll which can be independently good, bad or indifferent.  So you could love the model, but the warscroll is bad for example.

    thanks buddy for the explanations :)

    Idea is to have tons of bodies that resist shooting and rather durable in melee. The GUO supports them with the lille guys sitting right behind the GUO which blocks LOS and keeps them alive vs most shooting/magic. Theres random splash healing from the batallion, GUO spell and wheel.

    The Drones sit behind the PBs and are ready to countercharge whatever runs into the PBs. I dont like the idea of the LOA and having the Drones be suicide solo squad is the wrong way to go about it IMO. The buffs being triggered in the combat phase means you can go defensive in the opponents phase, and go ham when it is your turn and you decide the combat etc. 

    Im abit on the fence on the Poxbringer - 120 pts for essentially just the chance of getting his spell off might be too expensive. The debuff is insane, but 50/50 is kinda bad odds tbh. Alternative would probably be drop him for Geminids + 1 CP and you would be at 1970 which gives an nice chance of getting a triumph too. Reroll saves would be amazing on the PBs but reroll hits/wounds on the Drones would be disgusting. 
     

    1 drop at 1980 pts.

    This list is great and I like the idea of a one drop. Frist turn, you can take objectives and then start smashing your enemy at the second turn with the aptitudes of sloppity and spoilox. I would recommand another Spoilox if you remove Pox' it's 2k points
