Seems odd they do not specify artefact keyword, do narcotics come on top of other artifacts? Because those narcotics seeems a bit underwhelming at the moment.

Dear Friends,

I am starting a new AoS campaign. 

It will be my first time with tzeentch. I want to play Eternal Conflagration Host. 

First game will be at 1250 points and next ones at 2000 points.

I kindly request your support and advice: Which are 2 eternal conflagration balanced lists at 1250 and 2000 points now that changehost only allows one unit to be teletransported? How many heroes?

Thanks a lot!

Fran

Whole game basically so both Vortex and Mortal Empires though you'll see it most in Mortal Empires. 

It's no surprise to me that they've spent a lot of time on the turn time aspect, esp as Warhammer 3 is likely to increase the impact with even more factions. 

This is the most exciting news of the lot for TTW players!

Here is a review of the battletome, with the points and battalions as well:

IMHO Dreadwood needs Spiteswarm Hive or Cogs and casters who can reliably get them off. So Dreadwood lists require a bit more investment. Winterleaf can be slapped on any list. 

Hihve and cogs are here to garantee the charge right?

I usually flip back and forth between Winterleaf and Dreadwood. Both are excellent. I went with Winterleaf in this case because I know there were a lot of combat heavy armies in the meta.

Winterleaf is really good for making your units reliable in combat. It can help mitigate bad rolls. Its particularly effective on Kurnoth Hunters with greatswords, since every 6 is a potential 5 damage.  Also the Frozen Kernel was absolutely pivotal. 

The Morrsar Guard performed fine, but I mostly used them defensively and as a distraction.  The real value was their shock combined with their reasonable survivability. Ideally you want to swing with them first, but several times I pushed them into a scary behemoth, shocked them down a few brackets, and then activated a different combat trusting that the eels could probably survive until their turn. 

They are fast, hit hard, and survive pretty well, so its hard to pass them up. However I lost quite a few to failed bravery tests. (only bravery 6  ) 

I haven't tried Dreadwood yet, but oh boy does Winterleaf hit strong with the Frozen Kernel. Exploding 6 on all army is always a very good bonus. Even the command ability has its use sometimes.

Dreadwood i guess makes more sense if the objectives are very far apart

This is such a wonderful army, good luck for the sale.

Glad you had a good test run with the list! 

To be honest though, the game as a whole doesn't really function that well at 750pts.  At those point levels, lists are really limited and games can be decided by the first combat. May wanna push for 1000pts minimum next time!

Yes that's my goal!

We already agreed to a 1000 pts revenge

Got some kurnoth Hunters Arch Revenant and Drycha which opens me up more options to build my army.

My next problem will probably to get some wyldwood trees as I proxied  them last match...

You don't have anything that can kill models off objectives. 

I would drop two branchwyches and build one of your treelord models as Durthu. Merge your dryads into a unit of 20 and then just take a throwaway unit of 10 dryads or 5 Revenants. Give regrowth to the Branchwraith.

Take Harvestboon as your glade. Most armies won't have an answer to deal with a Dancing Durthu at 750pts. Use regrowth to keep Durthu as healthy as possible.

A trick to fielding start collecting boxes, is that you sometimes end up with too many branchwyches and not enough dryads. I have occasionally used branchwych models as Dryad champions, and its totally fine to summon models from your dead pile. 

 

Hello Small update on the 750 pts intro battle.

I followed advice with a Durthu 2 units of dryads (10/20) and a branchwraith.

Opponent had two block of 20 chainrasps 10 grimghast a guardian of soul and spirit torment.

 

The mission had us capture 5 objective points. Short story i didn't had nearly enough body to capture the objectives.

My 10 dryads and branchwraith were taken out very early by the grimghast. Duryhu wip3d them in retaliation on his first round of combat. I have been however too conservative with the Durthu. The block of 20 dryads hit like a truck with frozen kernel and took out 16 chainrasp first turn of combat...

He didn't had anything to deal with the Durthu. But combined with a few failed battleshock he was too far ahead with the objectives and i lost. But its a good experience!

Thanks for the advices
