  1. I was watching FacehammerTV's review and then guest who was a playtesters said he could actually see it going Moonclan>Spiderfang>Squigs>Troggoths just because of the sheer amount of resilience in the Staff as combines with their 9" objective contesting, and the mortal wounds with the Spiderfang. It's not just that the wound output went up and lost randomness; the multiple sources of LotBM makes actually getting the wounds to go off much easier.
  2. You used to be able to do it on 5s with the Shaman.
  3. Yeah the worst case is a "free" arcane suggestion and getting concerted into a chaos spawn and while that's still unfavorable its not too terrible a loss.
  4. Do you have any recommendations for glossy washes? GW killing off their line hurt my feelings.
  5. Hello everyone. I've been commissioned to build and paint and OBR army starting with the Mortisan Tithe Echelon box. At the moment I plan on "slap chopping" the bone bodies and doing traditional layering on the rest of the miniature. My client wants me to do the poster boy subfaction(with the purple armor). Do you have any advice on how to paint the army as efficiently as possible? Are there any pitfalls I can avoid? And what else does that box need to be a playable army(does it have insufficient battleline and are there "nombos" or traps I can advise them against)? And yes, I will advise them to buy the minimal number of models until the new book comes out next year. I also plan on teaching them raw 2E vs my 2E sacrosanct Stormcast or Squig GG army(just straight out of both battletomes which IIRC both of my armies would be naturally handicapped) until the new book comes out next year in order to alleviate frustrations with the issues the army has with the current edition.
  6. That's operator error. The whole point of their shooting attack was too blow up heroes with mortal wounds.
  7. Kinights are definitely still great regardless, its just that Splintered Fang are bent AF from jump street and especially with Archaon and Ravagers or Idolators.
  8. I forgot about getting their snakes back. So in the same manner as 1E pink horrors, in Ravagers they are actually pretty durable. Just out of curiosity, the knights would get their charge bonus on the fight in death because the only qualifier is they made a charge earlier, right?
  9. Just going to point out that Khorne marked Splintered Fang outdamage Knights on the charge in 4+ armor saves right now. Vince Venturella did the math on his show last night. I don't recall if it was adjusted for points or not, but if it wasn't they did over double(since SF min buy is less than half). And they are even more efficient in ravagers because you get them back in both you and your opponents turn. The Darkoaths should also do pretty well in damage with fights-last assuming SF get nerfed.
  10. His monstrous rampages are great, you get a lot more value out of his fights on death because other units are better than before, and his command shutdown aura is huge on his base.
  11. Looks like just really good command traits which doesn't help the bespoke god factions.
  12. If you're fighting anything with a 4+ or better save they really need armor debuffs support. We got Arcane Suggestion and the Herald on Foot's warscroll spells for that.
  13. Honestly im most interested in Untamed Beasts for a cheap screen because our only codex options are Screamers and Foot Enlightened, the Warshrine for a priest.
  14. Gaunt Summoner on Foot has definitely has its turn as a staple though.
  15. The flaw with your assessment is that they only feel comparable, but when you think about them critically, they aren't. The choices you are talking about in Necrons and 1KS gate other choices army-wide. The ones you are talking about are limited to the individual unit. You're only running into these problems because you're imposing limits on yourself. You gotta challenge your inclination to think of marks as hard gates. Just try to think of them as a glorified wargear option. Also; people didn't "mostly play tzeentch" last edition. People were almost universally cold with Tzeentch and hot with Nurgle and Khorne at the start and then slowly started using Tzeentch when outside pressures in the meta incentivized them to run Tzeentch.
  16. Yeah ill have to build my other 6 screamers quick and use them next time. I also have any Ogors army but I dont intend to run it anytime soon just because the collection isn't nearly complete and I don't want to run armies that will make me want to buy more models.
  17. Oh well, the only thing that changes for me is that ill insist on playing this current battlepack going forward unless a friend needs practice games. Not a huge deal anyway, the big deal is that we arent hard incentivized to run 20 so that they didn't lose out on attacks from getting breathed on. The big problem was running 20 with 1 inch range. My huge gripe with it was i felt I was losing out by not running horrors(which I hate running at the level of 10 pinks) in 2E. Looks like Warriors at least are going to be good enough that I wont feel I have to run pinks.
  18. Unless you're leaving something out unintentionally its crazy that ever got arbitrated as a rules conflict because there's are only permissions in both rules AND regardless of that the language for the CRB does not seem to be inviolate so the specific should overrule the general.
  19. Only inasmuch as its gives context to the rule, in this case that it's referring to a keyword. I already have the basis for the rule in the previous one. Unbolded text is never intrinsically part of the keyword. There is no precedent for it as far as im aware. To call that an assumption rather than a judgement would be a disservice. And fortunately, judges are humans rather than computers and can make connections between abstract concepts through context without completely relying on hard definitions.
  20. "TZEENTCH" and "TZEENTCH Mark of Chaos keyword" would function identically in our army, because as per 1.3.2 in the CRB, Keywords appear in Keyword Bold. So the default font "Mark of Chaos keyword" is not bestowed upon the Keyword entry.
  21. I understand the argument and agree it could have been better worded but the rule should still be valid as self-inclusive and a faq is unnecessary simply because a rule is never intended to be 100% unfunctional and is a valid read in conversational English. No TO or judge would ever forbid you from including Chaos Knights with the Tzeentch, although I could see some WAAC players insisting on the on it. And if they do you should not validate them by continuing to participate.
