    Bloodthirsters, from what I read online, are the most competitive option in the book (280 for the Insensate Rage one is a STEAL!) Skarbrand benefits from Baleful Lords/Tyrants of Blood because it allows him to run and charge, which he sorely needs due to no flight. If he’s your only behemoth, he’ll get shot off the board fast. Nobody wants him in combat with them. He will smoke any horde unit and/or any hero without reliable saves against MWs.

    I personally used my Silver Tower Tzaangors to make Enlightened on foot, so I bought the following: 1 box Tzaangors, 1 Aether Wars, Silver Tower, Eyes of the Nine Shadespire band. it gives me: 2 units of Skyfires, 2 units of Enlightened on foot, 1 unit of Tzaangors with the Eyes Tzaangor as a unit champ and one leftover to be converted to a Shaman. Gives you 920pts of Tzaangors that way. Haven’t played with it (Thanks, Covid!), but minimal box set purchases for maximum value.

    Honestly? Best way to deal with a gun line with this book is to have as few drops as possible and make sure you get turn 1 with as much speed as possible. Epitome+Chronomatic Cogs is essential when half your army runs & charges. Go Godseekers for a further +1. You’ll have M+3D6+5. Keepers start at 14 so you have an average run & charge of 29” w/the general. Get another with the thermalrider cloak and you have M+2D6+9 for an average of 30”. Then hellstriders put em all into two battalions (Seeker cavalcade and the character one). Two drops, high mobility. That’s how I’d suggest handling a gun line.

    Just want to ask quickly; 2 in 5 Tzaangors can have great weapons. One Tzaangor can be a twistbray (champion). One of the great weapon ones can be the twistbray right? Unless an FAQ/errata killed that and I missed it. I was planning on using the Eyes of the 9 Tzaangor as the unit champ and turning another one from the box into a shaman.

    Make the weapons the same color? The bloodletters’ swords, Daemonettes’ claws, horrors’ flames and plaguebearers’ swords all one matching color?

    Why do you need a cheaper Nurgle hero for summoning? You know that the Verminlord Corruptor HAS the Nurgle keyword; he can summon Plaguebearers!
  7. TimeToWaste85
    You’re right, just looked and it’s WAY better; Unmodified 5+ for D3 is better than 6+ for D6, all the way. and Shalaxi is a hero killer. Against hordes, he’s wasted. Which is why Kairos, the GS and Verminlord can neuter hordes at a distance. Skarbrand and the Verminlord deal with hordes close up, and Shalaxi has been math-hammered to smoke most heroes.

    Thought about this earlier. Wanted to put my own list in: Verminlord corrupter w/SoJ kairos skarbrand shalaxi gaunt summoner on foot 10 plaguebearers 10 Daemonettes or bloodletters 10 Daemonettes or bloodletters Gaunt can summon horrors, and all 4 ruinous powers represented to summon their bodies in. Corrupter has Nurgle keyword (For PBS) and is the general, he, gaunt and kairos can kill swarms at a distance, Skarbrand kills everything close, shalaxi kills heroes. 1990 edit. My numbers are off trying to figure out how I whoopsed! edit: numbers fixed!

    Followed by having him near wrath mongers for 3A!!

    Hey, just musing...has anyone tried putting Archaon into a Despoilers group? I mean, him being immune to anything needing LOS by having any part of him obscured by any amount of terrain...rotten? Honestly, gonna try it. I know he has to chill w/DPs to work. But still a very rotten thought process.
  11. TimeToWaste85
    I second this. I wanted the 30man block as well, but I’ve been told it’s too unwieldy. My secondary list is two units of 20, couple Bloodstokers in the Goretide for a huge R&C combat monster. Don’t send them in at the same time though. One at a time is perfect.

    Well, cogs (in this list) only needs to go off once. I figure the ‘Thirsters will hit like a freight train, and then the crushers can line up for impact hits and play cleanup. It’s a two-turn, two hit punch. The summoner can pop horrors for a backfield bubble-screen/objective holder, while he fires off realm spells/horde cleanser. If he dies...well, Khorne is happy that a caster dies. Actually, I’ll probably ACTIVELY try to get him killed after Cogs are summoned; for the blood tithe point AND fluff reasons. After all, once a caster has worn out his usefulness to Khorne...

    I think I had to make 5 posts (if I read that right) before I could add pics. I can create a gallery page and add some for sure! Not everything is painted though. Most are still a work In progress. Archaon and his cronies are fairly new purchases and he’s only base coated and two Varanguard are painted (7 left!)
  17. TimeToWaste85
    I’m not worried about him staying near the crushers. The Thirsters get a bonus from being near the general. He’s there to keep up with them. The crushers are the next wave.
  18. TimeToWaste85
    Amberglaive sounds good, but due to Thermalrider cloak (for Slaughtermaster to keep up) I have to go Chamon, I believe (the fire realm). The IRBT’s have re-roll boosts as well, so that helps. But I definitely hear you. Truthfully, the Gaunt should summon Horrors in a competitive game and bloodletters in a friendly game (cuz fluff), but only horrors make actual sense. The army already does CC well, shooting is non-existent.

    Hi guys, so I’m new here (Chaos player since 6th ed WHFB), and I had my own Blades list I wanted to put down. It MIGHT draw some shock, cuz there’s a dirty sorcerer in it, but I’m sure Khorne would forgive one of Archaon’s lieutenants speeding up his ‘thirsters: Baleful Lords Bloodthunder Stampede Skullmaster (thermalrider cloak to keep up w/BTs) 3 Bloodcrushers 3 Bloodcrushers 3 Bloodcrushers Tyrants of Blood Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage (required artifact) Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage (unsure of artifact) Wrath of Khorne Bloodthirster Ally: Slaves to Darkness Gaunt Summoner on foot Endless Spell: Chronomatic Cogs 2 Battalions, 3 arcane artifacts, 3 CP to start Yes, I know having a caster for Khorne is “ewwww, yucky”. But I think if Archaon petitions to have one of his chosen sorcerers tag along to boost the killing speed of the thirsters, not for murder from afar, I’m pretty sure Khorne would adhere to anything getting his chosen warriors into battle faster. Still working on the items for the ‘thirsters. Skullmaster is general due to Battleline Bloodcrushers. 2k on the dot.

    Hi all, I’ve recently chosen to leave DakkaDakka as I have come to prefer AoS over 40k and AoS chatter there is largely lacking. I’m a chaos collector (and occasional player); my display cabinet houses Archaon, 9 Varanguard, 2 Gaunt Summoners, 3 new KoSs and 2 older ones, 4 Bloodthirsters and two LoCs (all of which include their respective special characters). Collection also includes the droves of minions (mortal and Daemonic), Daemon Primarchs and Daemon Princes. I’m largely into list crafting, and while I don’t have to WAAC, I consider myself a player hungry to test myself in a game to see how good my list building is. I brought a dual Keeper list in my first HoS game, and have a Baleful Lord Khorne list as well as a Bloodbound Blood Warrior list designed to be in my opponent’s face from jump. I’m also not afraid to have a Gaunt Summoner go pal around with Bloodthirsters to give them an edge (oh hello, run and charge Baleful Lords sped up by Chronomatic Cogs). So I’m here to talk shop, see what stuff is coming out, and largely kick ideas around about Chaos!
