  1. A friend of mine wants to start DoK and is thinking of taking this army to tournaments. As i have no experience with the army I’d thought I’d ask for some advice. Allegiance: Daughters Of KhaineLeadersSlaughter Queen on Cauldron Of Blood (330)Hag Queen on Cauldron Of Blood (300)Hag Queen (60)Hag Queen (60)Battleline30 x Witch Aelves (270)- Pairs of Sacrificial Knives30 x Witch Aelves (270)- Pairs of Sacrificial Knives30 x Witch Aelves (270)- Pairs of Sacrificial KnivesUnits5 x Khinerai Lifetakers (80)5 x Khinerai Lifetakers (80)5 x Doomfire Warlocks (160)BattalionsCauldron Guard (120)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 1Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 146 what do you guys think? strengths? weaknesses? my friend wants to use this in 5 game tournaments so needs to be an all comers list.
  2. So I have another question. Which do people typically think are better: Fulminators, Concussors, Tempestors or Desolators?
  3. Yeah I’m going to be honest I was being a tad sarcastic. I don’t intend on dropping my guys in plain sight and then attempting a 9 inch charge. Just for them to fail and have half my army destroyed turn one.
  4. So when they land the only movement they can make is a charge?
  5. Hey guys new Stormcast player here, got a question about when units ride the lightning and land on the table. In the SC battletome it states you have to set up the units at the end of your movement phase. I have two questions, first does landing them on the table count as there movement? Second can they run in that turn? For example if I drop a Knight-Heraldor with my units can they run and still charge in the turn they land? Sorry if this is a noobish question, still new to SC and figuring out the most effective way to get my units into combat the turn they land.
  6. So what would your typical all comers skaven list look like. I need a list that can deal with the big boys. Nagash, seraphon, stormcast etc.
  7. I’ve been meaning to start a skaven army for ages but can never get round to it. Honestly I have no idea where to start. Im not convinced they are any good as a lone army. I feel as if they are better used in a mixed chaos force. I love stormfiends, the Verminlord Deceiver, Thanquol & Boneripper and Warp Lightning Cannon. However, I think most of the battleline stuff is trash unless you can field a lot of it, let’s be honest though who wants to build and paint 120 clanrats. So ive been thinking of a mixed chaos force using Plaguebearers as the battleline. I really want to make the army work and take it to tournaments I’m just not sure skaven can be competitive. Any advice on how to get started and optimise my rat force?
  8. Anybody got any news on skaven? I feel like it’s time everyone’s favourite rats got an update.
  9. Hey guys I’m starting a deepkin army for AoS 2. I’m looking for advice on the army. I’ve got a few tournaments coming up and want to take the deepkin to these. So far the list I’ve come up with is this: Allegiance: Idoneth Deepkin Realm: CHAMON Enclave: FUETHÁN LEADERS Isharann Tidecaster 100 -General --Born from Agony -Augury Shells -Spell: Abyssal Darkness Isharann Soulscryer 100 Eidolon of Mathlann 440 -Spell: Steed of Tides UNITS 10 Namarti Reavers 140 -Icon Bearer 10 Namarti Reavers 140 -Icon Bearer 10 Namarti Reavers 140 -Icon Bearer 6 Akhelian Ishlaen Guard 280 -Command Group 6 Akhelian Ishlaen Guard 280 -Command Group 3 Akhelian Morrsarr Guard 160 -Command Group 3 Akhelian Morrsarr Guard 160 -Command Group ENDLESS SPELLS Balewind Vortex 40 Total: 1980/2000 What do you guys think?
  10. So before AoS 6 Nations I was toying with some lists and came up with something that was similar to a list taken by a Swedish player. It had relative success with the team taking second. The list he fielded looked like this: Leaders Curseling, Eye of Tzeentch (160) - General - Trait: Magical Supremacy - Artefact: Souldraught - Lore of Fate: Bolt of Tzeentch Tzaangor Shaman (180) - Lore of Change: Unchecked Mutation Lord Of Change (380) - Artefact: Wellspring of Arcane Might - Lore of Change: Tzeentch's Firestorm Battleline 10 x Kairic Acolytes (80) - 7x Cursed Blade & Arcanite Shield - 3x Cursed Glaives 10 x Kairic Acolytes (80) - 7x Cursed Blade & Arcanite Shield - 3x Cursed Glaives 30 x Tzaangors (480) - 6x Pair of Savage Blade - 12x Savage Greatblade - 12x Savage Blade & Arcanite Shield Units 3 x Tzaangor Enlightened (160) 3 x Tzaangor Skyfires (220) Battalions Tzaangor Coven (110) Endless Spells Balewind Vortex (40) Geminids of Uhl-Gysh (40) Umbral Spellportal (60) Total: 1990 / 2000 Im not completely sold on the list. I still think the Kairic Acolytes are very weak and with only 3 skyfires/Enlightened the list may lack damage if the 30 Tzaangors are killed. I also think the lack of bodies on the table might be an issue. Also I’m not 100% on the lord of change I’m not convince he’s worth 380 points. This list is also heavily countered by engine spam and was beaten turn two by Darren Watson’s Seraphon list. However, I think the next FAQ will fix that. So what do you guys think?
  11. Just to give you an idea of how busted engine of the god can be. AoS 6 nations Darren Watson summoned 900 points worth of units and ended a Tzeentch army turn 2.
  12. Sure one isn't so bad. If you get a chance take a look at the 6 nations lists. Darren Watson is bringing 4 and a slann.
  13. Darn thought it may have been U.K based.
  14. Might be a silly question but is NOVA based in America?
  15. I pray there is a new book coming. what lists have people got planned for 2000 points?
  16. While yes I agree with you it’s not great for the competitive scene, I honestly feel like we should take whatever we can get and be grateful. Compared with some of the filth other armies are going to bring this is pretty tame.
  17. Our time will come. Stay strong keep believing.
  18. Do you think they’ll be in a position to deal with seraphon, death, Slaanesh and the other top tier armies coming into 2nd edition.
  19. Hey guys I’m looking for some advice, I’m looking at DoK as my age of Sigmar 2 army. If I decide to go ahead with them they’ll be the army I take to tournaments. I’m looking for any hints, tips and advice you guys can give me about the army going into AoS 2.  from a competitive perspective how do you guys think DoK sit going into 2nd edition? Do you think they’ll be in a position to deal with seraphon, death, Slaanesh and the other top tier armies coming into 2nd edition. Do you think the hag queen only being 60 points will get nerfed? As has been said above this army seems insanely expensive to get into, the main reason I’m asking these question is because I don’t want to invest a shed load of money to find the army is completely shocking in 2nd edition. What do you guys think? Any help is always appreciated
  20. So I’m looking at my AoS 2 tournament army. From an aesthetic point of view I love the deepkin models I think they are some of the best yet. from a competitive perspective how do you guys think deepkin sit going into 2nd edition? What do you think the strengths and weaknesses of the army will be?
  21. Are plague monks only battle line to clan Pestilens?
  22. Oh wow thank you so much. That was an insanely educational read. Exactly what I needed to start moving forward with my skaven force. The only question now is how long will it take to build and paint all these rats?!?! ?
  23. Just really wanted to know about skaven play style. Whats good/bad? How does the army play e.g is it fast/slow, does it rely on magic or shooting, is there decent mortal wound output? Do you think skaven will be competitive in the 2nd edition? What combos work well? How do you combat fast hard hitting armies? What do skaven do well/badly? With low bravery/wounds do they lack staying power? As I said I’m a bit of a noob so any help would be great.
