    This is a thematic list, but still pretty badass IMHO. It's got 3x To Hit debuffs to declaw their big assault units a bit, and kills their centrepiece minis.

    We've never had a unit like this IMHO. The army has pretty much always worked along the lines of networks of buffs, since Day 1.
  3. Roark
    Nah, I mean like individual cults, philosophies or houses, like Kharadron and Daughters have. Sub-factions that have some character.
  4. Roark
    Is it greedy to hope for interesting sub-factions? I think I'm going to be a bit disappointed if the sub-factions are just Mortals, Daemons, Mixed. I haven't read all the other armies' tomes, but they all seem to have cool thematic ones with a bit of fluff. That's what I want too eh.

    He has a handy little +1 to unbind too. I think he could be cool in a Staunch + Castellant / "impregnable testudo" type list, but I wonder how the maths of Elemental Shield saves compares with just having 100pts more guys running around...
  6. Roark
    You can tell by the way their skulls evaporate into blueish gas upon death. Useless.
  7. Roark
    Stormcast are on hard 6s.
  8. Roark
    I dig this. I really hope they do it. And make the Bloodsecrator Dmg2, then send him into the fray, where all servants of Khorne should be. ;-)
  9. Roark
    Eww there's a wizard in my Khorne...
  10. Roark
    Ah, yes... It took a couple of days for me to realise my error. Thanks.
  11. Roark
    Eh? Purple Sun is 8 to cast, procs on 6+ per model, and is 100pts. I think that's almost the worst possible spell for Stormcast wizards... Also, how do you figure the Pendulum is "harmless"? If you can tag 4 units with it (eg: passing over 2 and landing near 2), that's 4d6 mortals straight up without rolls. I'm really confused by your thinking here. Sorry if I'm missing something. Geminids is a great spell, but I think the combo is made more awkward and situational by the Nids' need to finish near each other, and the Lord Arcanum only being able to move one.

    Yet Malign Sorcery was published with a bunch of 6+ abilities in it. I don't think anyone confidently predicted the precise scope and scale of this particular shift (except in hindsight of course). We certainly spoke about it regarding Bloodletters, but my main point was really the comedy of the timing for me (ie: one month before the world's largest tourney).
  13. Roark
    I appreciate that the Lord-Arcanum on foot's command is pretty pants, and that people generally use him as a budget general for a Stormhost, but has anyone tried running him tight behind the front lines with Aethervoid Pendulum + command? The spell is short range, 6+ to cast, 8+1d6 move (assuming Lord-Arcanum on foot in vanilla SCE). To my mind, there's huge MW potential if you can tag multiple units with it... I guess the main challenges are the totally linear movement and landing the template after moving. Any successes with this, or other observations?

    lol I was partway through painting my Cancon army with 60 of 'em when W&R came out. My whole army strategy was nuked. I'm optimistic for a points reduction though, perhaps foolishly. I've written up a list with 5 x Crushers and 3 x Hounds plus WoK and buffers, and I'm itching to test it out, but it's gonna be a weird and unfamiliar way for me to play Khorne, ie: without masses of bodies to drown the enemy. I also don't think DoK will worry about it much at all, but we can't spend our lives thinking about them in their current state can we... ;-)

    Should be noted that Matt fought off Daughters, Death and super-shooty Kharadrons in his journey to the top. Brilliant effort.
  16. Roark
    I agree. Although, I'd like a useful 80pt buffing character purely on the basis of list-writing maths haha. Too often I find myself with an awkward 80 left over and no appetite for a little Castigators throwaway or investment in Endless Spells for my lone wizard char.
  17. Roark
    Haha, maximum irony. Nice one.
  18. Roark
    I reckon a horde of Skellies is pretty much his worst nightmare actually. They'll take him down in short order, especially with 2" weapons. Skarbrand is much better pointed at huge, "invulnerable" models. Like apex monsters and characters. He'll blitz any of those.
  19. Roark
    1. You only get a Goreglaive in units of 10 or more. 1 per 10 lads. 2. I don't tend to see any fully tooled summoning lists these days, but I've seen a Blood Sacrifice here and there on a Priest or Shrine or both (in Gore Pilgrims, ergo 4 Blessings). Lots of min unit Reavers though, and full complement of characters (as always). Skarr pops up a bit. I've noticed a few peeps saying they're pretty satisfied with the churn of Tithe and summoning just through normal play. I reckon I am.
  20. Roark
    Yeah, I was just being snarky because in general:
  21. Roark
    Well that's annoying. Khorne is on a particular trajectory with GW it seems. Please stop winning all those major events peeps. Karanak miniature looks amazing. I had concerns about the very "crowded" heads, but I dig it.
  22. Roark
    Well, if any suckers (like me) are still taking Bloodletters because they were easy to paint and there's a tournament in January, maximising no. of attacks is more critical than ever, and that can only be achieved through the Portal of Skulls, Wrathmongers and the Crimson Crown... Short answer: yeah, kinda?
  23. Roark
    Never mind. I can't read.
  24. Roark
    If they had 2 attacks each with Wrath and Rapture rules at the same cost, do you think that would upset the broader AOS community?
  25. Roark
    Ah yes, of course. Points increase for Flesh Hounds in recognition of their brutal new shooting capabilities. ;-)
