No, varanguard don't have the eye of the gods keyword, which is required to roll on the table.
Yeah I figured that, I guess I just hoped that whatever voodoo gave them the hero keyword in Knights of the Empty Throne gave them that
as far as I know every single mortal hero has the keyword right?

In Knights of the Empty Throne do varanguard get to roll on the eye of the gods?

@W1tchhunter dont know if my list is semi competitive yet as Australia is in lockdown right now but my Tzeentch Idolators list should be super resilient with really good armour and rerolling 1's to save everywhere. Between the 2 sorcerers, mystic shield, all out defence and the 2 Tzeentch prayers there are 6 sources of +1 save. It also has great resistance to mortal wounds and spells while its damage output will come from spells and the chaos knights. At only 4 drops I should have choice of turn order more often than not. I dont see it winning any tournaments but it should play the objectives quite well and therefore I believe its at least semi competitive.

Is there a decent semi competitive idolaters list that doesn't use big boy archaeon?

You can't take Skaven as allies with STD...so no. 😁
In fact, nobody can take Skaven allies in the new GHB. I thought Nurgle used to be able to take Pestilens allies, but apparently even that was removed.
Ah ****** really? That sucks
-
Odd question, is there any S2D list that would work well with a verminlord in it?
-
Finished the full unit
Definitely happy with the colour scheme!

If you're inspired by Gears of War, why don't you try ruins and rubble? That is what I associate with that game, based on my very limited exposure.
When I mentioned it to my friend he immediately said emergence holes haha. Theyd completely slipped my mind.

This is my scheme for the kruelist of Boyz. Tried to go for a gears of war locust theme. I can't decide what to do for the bases though. Any ideas would be great 👍

This is really disappointing. Warriors were looking like such an amazing anvil. Loss of reroll is a really big loss to their survival. Getting +1 save is so easy to achieve for them anyway that having it native isn't offering much.
I was planning a block of 30 undivided. Rerollable 3+, with a 6+ Ward and 5+ and mortal wound shrug that's also immune to battleschock was going to be so much fun. I'll still give it a go but it's going to present significantly less of a problem for the opponent.
I played two games with a stack of 20 warriors yesterday, the loss of rerolls has ruined there survivability for sure. I usually kept the warriors on the table the entire game previously. I lost them all both games by turn 3. So they are literally useless now cause they still hit like wet noodles.
With things now having easy access to +2 saves there lack of sharp weaponry is just depressing. I sent 48 attacks 3s and 2s at a stone horn yesterday and did 2 damage

This is a list ill be taking to a tournament next month, the last one I'll be doing for a while due to Kruleboyz
I can't decide what to use as artefacts though, any ideas? Worked out this will be bang on 2k when 3.0 hits.

Haven't seen this posted here yet.

I haven't played in a while, but I do remember going second was nine times out of ten the much better option, due to being able to react to your opponent AND have the chance of the double turn. Why have they buffed going second even more by gifting an extra command point?

Battalions

Endless Spells / Terrain / CPs
Umbral Spellportal (70)
Geminids of Uhl-Gysh (60)
Prismatic Palisade (30)
Total: 1990 / 2000Battleplan:
Shifting Objectives in GyranThe Battle:
Turn 1 (far right objective is the primary)
LRL:
Lumineth gets all of their spells of, dealing a bunch of chip damage to my units, buffs mortal wounds on sentinels, 5+DPR from Teclis, Speed on a unit of wardens and whatever else they can do.
They move up and takes middle and primary objective.
In the shooting phase I use cloud of midnight so only 1 unit can shoot and it kills 2 Ishlaen guards.IDK:
I fly my Ishlaen guards up to sit on all 3 objectives, My sharks in position to shoot, my Turtle up to buff and stupidly my King up to charge. (he should have been held back inside the boat if I had a redo) Lastly I bring my 2 sharks and the scryer in because m opponent gave me 2 units of Sentinels to charge.
In the shooting phase i shoot down 5 Sentinels and 6 Wardens.
I charge my unit of 2 sharks, 3 ishlaen guards and 3 sharks into wardens and Sentinels. I kill the last 4 Wardens and, with the 2 sharks, I kill an entire unit of Sentinels and trap the other unit due to netting.7-4 IDK
Round 2 (far left objective is primary)
LRL
They keep blasting me with magic. Kills off the King and chips of wounds on all other units exept 3 eels and the scryer. They get the rest of their nonsence off including making my turtle and my net Sharks stupid
10 Wardens and the dawnriders move to the middle, 10 Wardens move to the right objective and the 10 Sentinels move back.
All the shooting kills 1 Net shark and charges from the 20 Wardens kills another 2 sharks and 2 eels. Sharks kills 15 wardens in total. 1 of the units of sharks runs away but the other 2 units makes their battleshock rolls of a 1 or a 2 to stay one the board.IDK
Ok. Now I need to kill things and do it fast.
my 1 eel in the middle switches positions with the 3 on the left and the rest of my army stay put.
Shooting thins out the wardens bringing them down to 1 pr. unit. The combat phase finishes them off.12-6 IDK
Turn 3 (primary objective is in the middle)
IDK
My Turn is pretty straight forward. I move my sharks and 3 eels in to the middle of the board, moves the scryer close to the 3 eels and let the 2 units of 1 eel stand on objectives.
My turtle and my net Shark are still stupid so they just hang around doing nothing.
In the shooting phase i shoot everything im allowed to shoot with at the Dawnriders and afterwards charges them.
They die and I collect max points.LRL
My opponent calls it here because he cant come back on points.19-6 IDK
Super fun game and this was without a doubt my biggest test with this list. The MWs can really do a number on these guys, but its nice to see that the speed , shooting and CC dam output + the cloud of midnight can still cause armies to many problems to handle.
LOVE these reports keep em coming!
Quick question, do you think against some armies that having a 9 drop list will be an issue?

Anyone know if this colour scheme is available as a tutorial anywhere? I got this image from the GW website, it is also featured in the book so it is definitely one of theirs, it will go well with my swamp bases
-
So I've dipped a toe into Idoneth after lurking here for a couple of weeks. Finished my first shark earlier, what do you think
Gone for a swampy theme, my guys are gonna be living in a super deep swamp in Ghur (the beasts realm)

Saying this won’t change competitive pay is a silly until things are tried. Considering IDK can do things now like.
fuethan reverse tides
caster
2 scryer
3x10 thrall / reaver
2x3 shield eels9 sharks
can be 36 quality shots to thin out casters and or mortal wound spammers whilst still being very good in melee (their output is exceedingly close to spear eels as long as you get the 4th bite) Double scryer allows reserves and long bomb charges.
yes most likely a whole army of sharks isn’t the way to go but still it’s an example.
This sounds like my dream army, never say Sharks aren't the way to go 😛

I know some people are still on the fence for sharks but I really like the new warscroll. I do think they now compete with spear eels as long as your getting the 4th bite which is pretty easy with their own shooting. A bit less damage output compared when eels charge but way better when charged or ongoing combat and only lose damage output every 8 wounds. Losing the monster keyword as long as that’s correct is what really brings them up though.
sharks in reverse tide fuethan and an aspect of storm is something I’m excited to try. Something we couldn’t say prior to this change.
Honestly the sharks and leviadon being usable now really has me interested in this army now. I maaaay have bought the new box...
I like the idea you just posted have you got a list sorted? And if so would you mind posting it.

Most of the things coming in idolators must be on baseline of std, like warshrine being leader or cultists being battleline and the dice to charge like marauders.
And am i wrong or cultists still dont have the mark of chaos? I mean, why the hell i want those as battleline if i cant set them a mark?
Very disappointed at the beggining, lets see if its better than it sounds.
And the artifacts? Man this allegiance is just half cooked or something.Our whole faction is half cooked, I've been trying to sell this trash army for months but noones biting, unfortunately it's well known how ****** they are.

I've only just noticed this with the new rules. I was making a list and got to my artefacts... The choices for Ravagers are absolute dogshit. Am I missing something here?
1. Hellfire Sword: Once per battle in the shooting phase, pick a visible enemy unit within 8". Target takes D3 mortal wounds. Pass; a wizard already has better ways to deal Mortal Wounds and a combat character should have their combat capability boosted.
2. Blasphemous Cuirass: 5+ Negate MW.
3. Helm of the Oppressor: 6" -1 bravery aura.
4. Cloak of the Relentless Conquerer: Reroll charge rolls.
5. Mark of the High-Favoured: Aura of Chaos increases to 18" when affecting RAVAGERS units.
6. Desecrated Gauntlets: -2 to casting rolls for enemy wizards within 3", also +1 to wound rolls on a target with the WIZARD or PRIEST keyword. Good on a wizard hunting character

Is there a competitive list that uses the skitterstrand arachnaroks? If so any examples would be great.
as far as I know every single mortal hero has the keyword right?

Well that is sad, another question kinda spit balling ideas around and noone else in my circle plays slaves.
If I was to take any khorne units, bloodthirster, khorne dawgs, blood warriors etc. Will they receive the aura of khorne buffs from a nearby khorne hero? And in a despoilers list would the bloodthirster gain the D3 healing, due to the monster keyword?
