The bloodreavers box does comme with the meatripper axes and the reaver axes so you’ll have a lot of extras for mix and match! Cool idea! Would love to see them!

So I'm not the -biggest- fan of the basic skullreaper models and previously I had some fun converting some wrathmongers out of a box of Chaos Legionnaires. I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for kit ideas that can work well for conversions or any possibly 3d printed proxies from etsy. I'm a big fan of converting and kitbashing or finding just generally cool and different models so I'm very curious to see if anyone has recommendations or have seen things that work well.
If I can't find any alternatives I can just use the regular ones but I'd like to see what options I have first regardless.
Hey! I’m currently trying to convert some skullreapers. I had a spare 1st edition AOS box and I’m using the liberators legs with the Blood reavers torsos. I finally bought one box of skullreapers because I can make 10 skullreapers and 5wrathmongers this way. Here are some photos: the yellow parts are milliput. Made some molds with blue stuff and used milliput to make the tassets.
Hope this gives you some ideas!

Would leaving them at just a unit of 3 be enough then?
I think it depends. Do you want to use multiple anvils to spread out and hold some key objectives or one group of 6 to hold one major objective..
If I remember correctly Vince Venturela had a great discussion about the blades of khorne book some days ago and he discussed this matter.

3rd party suppliers are your best bet. My philosophy is support local first then national suppliers. I've never had to go global. Sometimes it takes a bit longer but it is a good way to ensure your local source/ties stay healthy.
Thanks for the reply. Yes that’s what I’m going to do.
But the what does it mean when it is no longer available online? Are they being reboxed for 3rd edition, or does it mean something else?
-
Hey! I’m not an experienced general at all but I think the mighty skullcrushers are supposed to be used as an anvil. Put them in an objective with bronzed flesh to hold it until an hammer arrives. At least that’s how I see them

Well.. apparently GW can’t learn from past mistakes and keep their chatismatic employees. On the other hand, they probably left on good terms to pursue a new professional challenge. I still think they lost a lot of awesome painters and influencers that could bring even more people to the hobby.. for exemple: locking Louise behind a pay-wall with warhammer +…
Anyway, I’m happy we will get to see her more often!! Can’t wait!!
I have a question that is not related to this topic: when something is no longer avaliable online what does that mean? I eanted to buy some wrathmongers but they are no longer avaliable online.

If the rumours are true then you have a 100 point increase if you want to use 6 longstrikes with 4 fulminators. You can still play the list, ai think. Probably have to drop the tauralon? It sucks but it’s still playable I guess…
-
Well it’s just rumours but raptors and fulminators already getting hit with point increase is a bit too much. Those are « old » units in a book that came out not that long ago. Besides fulminators were alfeady affected by the translocation nerf..

For 1k games, I like running the following:
Hammers of Sigmar:
Lord-Arcanum on Dracoline
2x Fulminators
2x Fulminators
3x Evocators on DracolinesThis is awesome! I would love to do something like this! I don’t currently own evocators on dracolines. Just the foot ones. So will probably buy some dragons when they come out to try something like this.

in a stormcast perspective I would use 300 as a limit (we used it before agreeing on the monster mash for this week). It still allows you to bring a monster (a tauralon) and reinforce at least some redeemer units other than liberators
Yeah. Better to reinforce vindictors rather than liberators.

46 minutes ago, Squark said:1000 point games (or smaller) generally require either a gentleman's agreement to try and avoid skewing the format*, or an understanding that everyone's going to be as cuttthroat as possible, and probably some form of "sideboard" or other reactive list modification.
*A blanket ban on any unit >250 points isn't foolproof, but probably keeps most of the game warping stuff out with minimal collateral damage** at 1000 points. at 500-750... I dunno.
** But that bans Sons of Behemat, Squark! ... Yes. They fall under the category of game warping. Dealing with the DPS check of Mega Gargants will require a fair bit of tailoring.
These are some cool ideas! Thanks. We agreed no units >500pts but will probably bring it down to 250. Thanks!

Okay, so this is just pure conjecture on my part, but I feel like 6 longstrikes in a 1000 point game is going to be very rocket tag. By which I mean a maxed unit of longstrikes is half your army at that scale and it's only 12 wounds on a 4+ save, so yes you will likely be able to annihilate something good turn 1 with a Thunderstrike Volley, but that's predicated on you getting to act first.
My instinct is that if you don't get to take out a good chunk of your opponent's army before they have a chance to really act, the Longstrikes won't be able to hold an objective particularly well when challenged (unless you get particularly lucky with an Unleash Hell). Then you're left with ~250 points of battleline, ~150 points for a general, and somewhere around 100-200 points to either add one small unit or bulk up your other choices. You'd need to be able to really push against enemy objectives with that remaining 500 points.
On the other hand, I think Annihilators or Fulminators feel a lot safer as a choice. They're much tankier, they're melee, they can be up the board quickly, and they're also both conditional battleline which gives you a lot more freedom with your list building.
As I said though, conjecture for my part. It could well be that you can reliably get the longstrikes to eradicate enough of your enemy that it's worth the downsides.
Yeah I don’t know if the long strikes would be able to clear out a lot of my opponent army. I was thinking about them to try to clear out 20 sentinels. But then there is the rest of the army…
thanks for the input! It’s really helpful!

I'm sure both would work at 1k, backed up by liberators and fulminators. If I'm playing 1k it's usually ultra newbie casual so I'm usually not bringing top table stuff.
Yeah 1000pts for a elite army like stormcast it’s a little bit hard to sqeeze top table stuff. But my oponent will be fielding 20 sentinels and that scares me a bit 🤣

Just now, Marcvs said:
I do, but I mainly play with my clubmates in relatively relaxed games. I'll post some lists later but the 6 raptors / 6 grandhammers would be too skewed for my context so I never used them -I did use 2 fulminators though, and they are of course very good.
Nice! I would love to have some input on some lists and how the games went!
-
Did anyone play 1000pts games with the new book? I am hoping to get some games going but I was hoping I can get some directions in list building.
6 longstrike raptors or 6 grandhammers seem to be quite common in 2000pts lists. I was wondering if someone had tried one or the other in 1000pts. Or some fulminators?

Hey! Are there any players from the Lausanne area?

That really is incredible!!

Thanks for the answers! It will help in future games!
Probably it will get faq'd some day.........

This thread really helps to understand how this list works!
I have a question: do the long strikes benefit from the 6inches bonus in the first hero phase? They didn't move but there wasn't a movement phase either... how does it work?

Hey! I'm from the Lausanne area. Never went to Zurich, but I will some day! What's the store name?

See you around!

Cool! Yeah when you think of skullreapers you imagine dudes in armor. Other cool ideia was to use some slaves to darkness chosen. But I like your idea! I can’t tell what base size they’re in but don’t forget that skullreapers have 40mm bases. Keep up the good work!!
