Yeah I’d certainly like to see a Warcry warband for the Order of Azyr, as well as it expanding away from mainly just chaos. Im also hoping the Dawnbringer Crusades/Cities of Sigmar update nails the look and feel of a mortal society trying to survive these harsh conditions through ingenuity, faith and grit. Thanks @Sharkbelly for the kind words.

@CDM Ask and you shall receive (a few weeks later haha). Forgive the photos don’t have a proper light box for photos. I have English Civil War soldiers for my professional Handgunners led by some old Confrontation sharpshooters. Mordheim Sisters of Sigmar as Hammerers. War Altar as the Luminarch. The assorted Witch Hunters I use as Shadow Warriors (No one expects the Azyrite Inqusition!) The pair are Trevor Belmont and Sypha from Castlevania using the rules for the Elven Lumineth Twins. The Witch Hunters with the oversized weapons led by the Ogre are Khadaron Thunderers. The Red Coated, Dual Wielding Anime Badass TM is using the rules for Brokk Grungson and then the Sequitors as they look the part of Crusading types from the Stormcast range. I think I’ll be repainting the Phoenix in red flames at some point as I made a concession to competitive play running it as a frostheart. Tried to paint it so it looked like it’s so hot it’s blue flame but not really feeling it

I’ve actually built a Witch Hunter army. I used Cities as you can use a lot of the options there unchanged and the wide variety of allies and coalition units mean you can build anything you want. I expanded the idea of the army to include Holy Warriors, Professional Soldiers and Pop Culture guests. There’s the official Order of Azyr models like the Ven Densts and Hexbanes Hunters. Alongside Stormcast Sequitors for their robed Palladin look. My general unit of Witch Hunters use Shadow Warrior rules. I use old Mordheim Sisters of Sigmar as Hammerers. RunePriests become Warrior Priests. Luminark becomes a Shrine of Sigmar. I’ve got a Dante (from Devil May Cry series) that uses Brokk Grungisson from the Arkonauts profile; Trevor Belmont and Sypha (from Castlevania) that use the rules for Ellania and Ellathor from the Lumineth; Vampire Hunter D who I’ve not decided on best represents him rules wise.. I want to build some Mobile Shrines carried on Steam Tanks next 3d printing, kit bashing and 3rd party will be your friends. Its a really cool theme with quite a bit you can do with it if you get creative!

Not really true. The difficulty is Prince V is a very self contained package of PUNCH HARD so can slot into virtually any type of list. You’ll probably want something else durable and fighty to take advantage of Prince V Command ability; ideally something that can in return offer V something back like increased survivability (Neferetta) or optimising damage output (Radukar the Beast, Mannfred, Nagash if your crazy) or a utility piece for a artefact/traits (Vengorian Lord, VLoZD). After this you probably want some mobile Lane blockers like Dire Wolves, Fell Bats or even at a push Black Knights to help prevent PV getting bogged down in the wrong fights. Then you look to shore up the weaknesses of the list; Claiming and protecting objectives, grinding fights and shooting. So either big or tough units and this is where Soulblight opens up as there are just so many options. Zombies, Skeletons, Grave Guard, Blood Knights.. All with a slightly different role and focus. Prince V naturally lends himself to being played in the Kastelai dynasty as they’ll get to benefit from all the traits and artefacts. But again their self contained nature let’s you drop it into other dynasties without major issues. If I was buying my way into Soulblight I’d grab the Flesh Eater Courts start collecting for Prince V (and some Vargheists) (flip the ghouls If you can), Start collecting Soulblight (20 Graveguard are great) and then a box of Dire Wolves. Better to start small and build out.

This is the best list I can think up within those requirements: KrondysRunelord - GeneralScinari LoreseekerBattleline30 x Irondrakes- Reinforced x 210 x Longbeards 10 x Freeguild Guard10 x Freeguild Guard Units20 x Vanari Auralan Sentinels- Reinforced x 1Soulscream Bridge (70)Total: 1995 / 2000 Lots of spellcasters and you can lean into making magic hard for your opppont through Drain Magic and all the Dispels. The bridge helps you move about what would be a quite slow list otherwise. Best I can come up within those guidelines.

Yes multiple Spirits of the Wind present a problem for any army without much shooting, their armour is made of paper but that’s no help if you can’t get to them. Lumineth are pretty overtooled and lack any real weaknesses besides having relatively few bodies. Ive been noodling around a list using multiple Mortis Engines. Like 4. Not exactly reliable weapons of war but they might have some legs with fewer big units around..

So there’s certainly a few bits I’d rearrange. If you have another 20 Grave Guard get them in. It’s a double Dragon list so you want bodies and extra threats besides the Dragons. To fit them in I’d cut the Wight King, Necromancer and sadly one unit of Fell Bats. Make the Dynasty Kastelai so the Blood Knights make up your 3rd Battleline. Otherwise play the objectives which you can do much better. Keep an eye on what spells are going off. Save those dispels for stopping Power of Hysh on the archers. You’ve got no chance of stopping Teclis so let him go. The archers are so so without the PoH on them.

The other thing is Kainans Reapers come with Mir and they are surprisingly tough for 5 single wound guys. Had one of them survive 2 chaos knights and a Lord on Manticore for 2 turns by himself! 5 extra bodies is so helpful in Bonereapers.

It wouldn’t have hurt to just have a line in the FAQ just clarifying this. But I think so, we’re restricted on Command Abilities like everyone else. Even more RDP will be flying around but harder to use them effectively. At least Petrifex is back with a bang!

Cheers chosen_of_khaine. That’s what I figured but as I’m only just starting out with Age of Sigmar thought it best to check.

Hi everyone, I’m starting to build my Mortek Guard and wanted to know if there was ever any reason not to equip my Hekatos with the SoulCleaver Greatblade? Cheers
