Double Misfire

Oh neat a Pink Horror (I'm guessing it's pink, blasted black and white), reckon it'll split into blues and brimstones in game?

You've had your three endless spells and book of coopted Warriors of Chaos and Tzeetch units , back in your box for another decade. 😋

New rumour engine: Go crazy Destruction players

Hi @Frowny The Collegiate Arcane stuff is generally pretty usable (if a little costly in the Hurricanum's case). If you're looking at taking both the Hurricanum and Lumiark, why not add a Battlemage on Griffon and take the War Council battalion? The bonuses to cast are now great for getting crucial endless spells off, and the spell range bonuses mean you can guarantee getting offensive spells off in the first turn of the game, and have a lot of fun with realm spells.] If you're worried about being a static/a gunline, then don't take handgunners. Take mobile reavers or cheap Freeguild Guard as battleline, you'll have a lot more fun while being able to take objectives, and your opponents will hate you a lot less. You can use a Steam Tank alongside Collegiate stuff in both Greywater Fastness and (ubiquitous) Hammerhal armies. If you're looking for a similar cheap screeny unit to Skinks that isn't Skinks... Aetherwings? 50 points for 3, the're much more objective grabbers/redirectors than low key tarpits, but can be equally annoying in the hands of a competent player.

😳 I don't think I know anyone who doesn't have at least a few dozen spare bases in common sizes leftover from conversions and abandoned projects. Even if you're just starting out and really don't have the eight bases spare, I'm sure someone you know will, and even if you really can't get ahold of any for free you'll still make a net profit ebaying your unwanted scenic bases to fund buying plain ones. 🤷‍♂️

Good call on trapping the enemy with endless spells @JackStreicher. Anvilgard continues to impress! If I had to choose between Palisade and Shackles for trapping enemy units I'd probably pick both. If anyone wants to write an Anvilgard guide for the Free Cities in AoS2 thread I'd be super grateful as I don't play them and they're too different from anything else in AoS to write about in detail if you don't know the ins and out of Implacable March.

I just hope Ironweld Arsenal are in there as they are a perfect match lorewise for such a game.

You can, but Ignax's Scales would still only apply to mortal wounds and not garden variety wounds.

That'd be a lot of magnets. You could probably build and paint two of them for the effort.

I'm not sure how they were able to sell it maintaining a straight face when it came out. 🤣

Updated Beasts of Chaos warscrolls are up on the New Zealand site. Check out the Wildfire Tarus, I predict seeing allied into a loooooot of Chaos armies (remember, if you can't ally in Brayheards you can always ally a Tzaangor Shaman to cast it).

Yes, you can use Hallowheart allegiance (as long as you don't ally in a special character like Chris ). Phoenix Temple allegiance doesn't have a set of allegiance abilities and therefore gets to use the default Order allegiance abilities, the current Season of War: Firestorm errata states that an army using the Order allegiance abilities (something you can no longer choose to do in place of an army's own allegiance abilities if they have access to them in AoS 2.0) can take a Firestorm City or Warlord allegiance as well, as long as they meet the qualifiers. As far as Aqshy artefacts go, Thermalrider Cloak for an extra zippy phoenix guaranteed to get a charge in on the first turn? (Aqshy artefats aren't very good...)

Cool thread! I've used Reavers and Waywatcher Lords converted from High Elf parts in my Order armies to great success. If you're going Order Draconis, Phoenix Temple or mixed "High Elf" and have access to a copy of Season of War: Firestorm it's well worth checking out the Free City bonus allegiance abilities, as any High Elf army without allied special characters will qualify for at least Hammerhal allegiance, and they're well... free, giving you no reason not to use them. I've written a quick breakdown of the different Free City allegiances, go check it out(Hallowheart is paticuarly good for High Elves):
