    Just a few thoughts - I don't play much but I spend way too much time reading and over-analysing, and I've read this thread in its entirety.

    lot of good feedback, thanks! .. will try to go with 1 unit of 15 or 20 warriors and 2 units of 5 knights, and drop the Fomoroid (thoughi really love the model)
    and then find something else to use the last 100-200 points on.

    About the warshrine, that was an error on my part, should have had the mark of nurgle.

    Could be, but it's a risky manoeuvre. The moment you lose a single model, you no longer get the save rerolls for having 10+ models, so it's usually better to always try and run Warriors in blocks of 15 whenever possible.

    Ahh, you are right. Might drop the Fomoroid and the 5 man unit of warriors, then i have 200 points on another battleline unit

    2 units of 10 warriors is... kinda rough. I'd almost recommend running them as 5 and 15, so that at least one of these blocks can be more durable, and the other functions as a screening unit, or to leave behind on some objective.

    No problem changing that, just though that it might be needed if there are a couple of center objectives.

  4. Trying to make an army from 2 of the new start collecting! boxes, not sure about marks, artifacts and spells yet, but this is what i got so far:

     

    Allegiance: Slaves to Darkness
    - Damned Legion: Ravagers
    Mortal Realm: Ulgu

    Leaders
    Chaos Lord on Karkadrak (250)
    - General
    - Mark of Chaos: Khorne
    Chaos Sorcerer Lord (110)
    - Mark of Chaos: Nurgle
    Chaos Lord (110)
    - Reaperblade & Daemonbound Steel
    - Mark of Chaos: Nurgle

    Battleline
    10 x Chaos Warriors (200)
    - Hand Weapon & Shield
    - Mark of Chaos: Nurgle
    10 x Chaos Warriors (200)
    - Hand Weapon & Shield
    - Mark of Chaos: Nurgle
    10 x Chaos Knights (360)
    - Cursed Lance
    - Mark of Chaos: Khorne

    Units
    1 x Fomoroid Crusher (100)

    Behemoths
    Chaos Warshrine (170)
    - Mark of Chaos: Undivided

    Total: 1500 / 1500
    Extra Command Points: 0
    Allies: 0 / 400
    Wounds: 112
     

  5. Hey all,

    Just ordered the start collecting! slaves to darkness.

    Does anyone have some comparisons of the new and old warriors and knights together.

    I might have a bunch of them in a box somewhere, and if they don't look too out of place among the new models, i might use them to fill out the units.

    And is it possible to change up the weapons on the knights?

     

    thanks

  6. A quick 1000 point lists:

    Petrifix legion

    Soul mason - 140

    Bone shaper - 130

    20 Mortek guards with swords - 260

    20 Mortek guards with swords - 260

    3 stalkers/1harvester - 200

    Might change the soul mason for a soul-reaper, to fit in the screamer endless spell

     

    Edit: another quick list:

    Petrifix legion

    Liege-kavalos - 200

    bone-shaper - 130

    20x mortek guard with swords

    5 deathriders

    5 deathriders

    an endless spell

    Isn't that a trait from Legions of Sacrament though? 

    There is a similar trait in the book

    Can't you give the Kavalos the Dark Acolyte trait so he can cast? 

    Only if you don't use a legion, as you have to take the legion specific trait

    I see what you are saying, but as a balance between point costs and RDP generation, wouldn't it be better to take the LK in a 1k game? 

    - LK: 200 points and 2RDP (can get a 3rd on a 6+)

    or

    - Two heroes (lowest is 120 - so 240) for 2 RDP (can get a 3rd and 4th on a 6+ each). 

    Just my opinion, but an extra 40 points (at the very least)  for the potential to get one extra RDP each round isn't worth it. And that is just if you take two Soul Reapers as your heroes. 

    But you do get extra spells and resurrection from an extra caster. But i agree, now knowing that i get 2 from the LK, i might try to fit him in instead.

    You get 1 for each hero, you also get 1 for each LIEGE(keyword), which is basically just the liege-kavalos, arch-kavalos, and katakros. So the Liege-Kavalos actually generates 2 RD points on his own.

    I had missed that, thanks, an even better reason to to take a liege-kavalos. But kinda avoiding him in my 1000 list, as i wanted more small heroes to generate more RDP.

    Well Arkhan is 1, you definitely want Liege-Kavalos, which is 2, then I suppose one wizard as a support and preferably a battalion.  This puts you at 5 guaranteed. Good with Arkhan is that you have the option to cast the spell for extra D3 RD in case you really need them. Then with 8 units, which seems to be kinda standart, you are to recieve 1 or 2 with the rolls. I would be comfortable with that amount for the round.

    Where do you get the 5th from? .. 3 from heroes and 1 from battalion, but I don't think you just get one, as you do with command points? ..

    I seriously doubt I'd ever play Null Myriad, Ivory Host or Mortis Praetorians.  I doublt I'll play Stalliarch Lords, but I like the idea of running awesome cavalry.

    I could see myself run null myraids, if my local meta starts to bring a bunch of spells(cities of sigmar or stormcasts) as the command ability to ignore spells on a 2+ can really mess with them.

    If i am running a cavalry list, i might even use Petrifex  for them, and try to fit in the battalion instead, as the extra save and rend are really good for the cavalry

  12. That is some crazy deployment rules for the nexus, makes it way better. thought it had to be in your territory.

    But this makes the short range judgements much better, and the 'can't run and only charge 1d6" way more potent.

    It is still wholly within, so the opponent can play around it, but can still really mess with objective grapping units

    the nexus is huge 😮. fortunately,  it is placed before any other terrain, even the normal one. anywhere on the battlefield, 3" from objectives and 6" from battlefield edge

    How is it to assemble? .. can you take of the statue, or magnetize it, so it is easier to transport?

  14. 10 minutes ago, XReN said:

    Nah, it's really good for the points and an ability to cover up all your battleline and support caster needs is perfect

    was thinking about it, but you can get another caster for 120, which also gives you a RDP each turn, as long as he lives.

    Is it correct that it is only 2 units of guards?

  15. 18 minutes ago, Arcian said:

    Are you feeling swords, or spears for the mortek in units of 20?

    thinking swords, as i don't expect all 20 will reach close combat without losing any models. and with 25mm bases, that already fight in 2 ranks plus the rend is really nice.

    But i do prefer the looks of the spears

  16. trying to make a 1000 point meeting engagement list, this is my first try at a list:

    Petrifex Elite

    Bone Shaper with Empower Naditite Weapons  130

    Soul Reaper with Arcane Command or Drain Vitality  120

    20xMortek Guard  260

    20xMortek Guard  260

    Gothizzar Harvester or Necropolis Stalkers 200

    Bone-tithe Shrieker  30

    1000 point total.

     

    any thoughts or suggestions?

     

  17. Think the reason they don't have any allies is because of the RD point system, and they didn't want to think about that complexity.

    The question still stands about how they work in a GA:death army. If you can still use command points on the abilities, or you just can't use any OBR abilities
