  1. Riptooth gives you a cheap dispel and the rest of the unit is small enough to fly under the radar (especially in Goretide with a ‘Stoker) where they can be flung across the map into a squishy target that will hopefully net you a few BT points. All the underworld units have a place at Khorne’a table; small and relatively squishy BT points.
  2. Including 40k rules over the past 7-8yrs. Don’t skip that part.
  3. just spoke with a friend who owns a store and he said it’s the tightest rule set GW has made since AoS came out (including 40k during that time). Excited to give it a go. oh, and prior to owning a store he traveled to the Vegas tourneys that used to run. So not just someone random. I trust his judgement on it.
  4. My list has 20 potential BT points. The only big stuff has a serious threat range and can dish it out in ranged or melee. No reason between my units and their’s that I can’t summon up to 3 ‘Thirsters if I wanted to. And I’m pretty confident that it’s one of those lists where the cohesion isn’t immediately obvious and will catch opponents with their pants down.
  5. Yup, look on the points page in general’s handbook; second sentence says “although taken as a set, each is a separate unit”. Until they change it, RAW it works. And MAN will I spam that 35pt Sorc and 30pt warrior BT points!
  6. I’m gonna make Slaanesh my elite army and my Khorne army is full of chaff, shooting and magic (don’t judge)! If you don’t believe me, head to the Blades of Khorne page and see my list. It’s obnoxious and all over the place enough that it just might work! Slaanesh is going to focus on an Invaders list with Sigvald, Dex, three units of Hellstriders, a unit of 10 Twinsouls, a contorted epitome, and I’m not sure what else to round out with yet. Gotta see where I’m at. I want that keeper. I just don’t know if it works…
  7. Ok, got my list: bloodsecrator slaughterpriest scyla 2 skull cannons 2 soul grinders 3 units of Bloodreavers wrathmongers Garrek’s Reavers Magore’s Fiends Khagra’s Ravagers Wurmspat I may consider dropping the Wrathmongers to get Soulsnare Shackles and still have 100pts left; maybe a Mindstealer Sphyrinx. Just have to figure out how to drop into Battalions, but it focuses on the big monsters shooting, shackles to stop charges, speed bump reavers, Scyla works around anti-charge/Sentinel hunting, and all those tiny units give Blood Tithe points easily (as written, the Ravagers are bought as a single unit but split into 4 upon hitting the table). And Fecula is nigh-unkillable with her bodyguards and bigger threats. Three access points to +1 to save (two wizards, one priest). Summon Bloodthirsters when possible.
  8. I paint my Khorne stuff in red and gold. If I got told I could only play one specific Khorne army when those have always been the chosen colors…I’d laugh my ass off at the person and tell them to get stuffed. I know my local GW has no issue with paint colors and applauds well-painted stuff, no matter the scheme.
  9. That’s what I did. Not a fan of Twinsouls heads either, but Myrmadesh are amazing.
  10. I actually think Khorne is in a decent spot: we have priests to give one unit a +1 to save and can ally wizards to give a second unit. I believe bronzed flesh only works on Khorne, so that’s it. Or double-tap Archaon with MS/BF so he needs -3 rend to even lower his armor.
  11. Where did you find that? I looked in the WotE and Skaven FAQs. Didn’t see anything of the sort Never mind. It’s in the broken realms book. Sigh…skaven Verminlords…I hardly knew ye.
  12. Also, I make mention of using war bands: since things like Thedra and the Godsworn Hunt must be taken together, same as Wurmspat, are they a single drop? Or two drops for allies? I can’t find the rule anywhere, but on WarCom they talk about the beastgrave band being two separate things but AN ally to a chaos army. So sounds like each underworld band is a single item? I see Godsworn and Wurmspat in my Khorne army’s future and assume its 2 drops not 4, but it’ll give up 4 Blood Tithe points if they all die. Along with the 3 more from Garrek and Magore/Riptooth. 7 cheap and easy BTs, along with that shooting castle in the back that can hit like a freight train in combat too. it’ll be the most bizarre Khorne army ever seen.
  13. Oh, you totally misunderstand me. I would ABSOLUTELY run that. I enjoy list-crafting. And something that goes nuts with Blood Tithe points would be fun. I’d LIKE to run this.
  14. Wrathmongers babysitting two skull cannons and two soul grinders, say what? Fill in with cheap Bloodreavers, underworld bands (oh, cheap blood tithe points and a dispel from Magore’s doggy) a slaughter priest for the bronzed flesh and one of the Underworld bands with a sorcerer (ew) for mystic shield. Well hello there, obnoxiousness. Throw in Scyla for his 8” pile-in attack to work around Unleash Hell. Sound about right?
  15. I mean, it’s 100pts for a 50/50 on 1-6MW…I feel like there are better options out there. But hey, give it a shot and see what happens for sure!!
  16. I hate the current model myself, but I really liked the previous version. Build it up on a pile of rocks and give it a 50mm base, good to go.
  17. Round bases with rank and file? I think they’re gonna give us a month or two like this and then “introduce” the movement trays that LOTR uses. Meet the AoS 3.0 boss. Same as the WHFB boss (mind you, WHFB is what got me into miniatures in the first place and I have zero regrets).
  18. Anyone using Scylla? Dispel, unbind, and an 8” pile-in is hard to come by these days. He’s a brute.
  19. I’d say Sigvald shows up more often in a Lurid Haze than any other model. Dex might start to catch up, since they’re a monster and cost only a little more. Of course, my thought is best summed up by that gif of the kid saying “why not both? 🤷‍♂️“
  20. With Beastmen it would be nice to see a huge plastic Shaggoth (options for Kholek Suneater) and Galrauch the Chaos Dragon (with a generic build) make a return. It would be a great way to bring them back, give two huge kits that have multiple purchase options…yeah, I’d actually get Beastmen at that point (ok, id buy the dragon, Shaggoth and dragon ogors as an army)
  21. Convert using Seeker bits. That’s what I did. You get multiple arms, just might need a touch of green stuff. Might be more doable if you use any Twinsouls bits too (to cross from Hellstriders to Seeker banner arm.
  22. Actually, from people in the HoS thread (I’m a Slaanesh fan from all the way back 6th Ed WHFB, btw) who have actually played the faction with new points…they’re doing REALLY well against armies like LRL by playing to faction strengths. We’d love to see points come down. But despite two considerate point increases very recently, we’re still strong. A sleeper army, if you will.
  23. Begging for mercy or head-bobbing to cultivate favor? in a Slaaneshi thread, I feel like this is a fair question.
  24. I would rather they have Sigmar vs Azazel (instead of Nagash). Bring about the ORIGINAL personal enemy of Sigmar. Plus two new models that way.
  25. 100% agree, the Dragon Ogor Shaggoth is the #1 model (IMO) across the entire range of active warscrolls that needs to be updated. Skaven stuff does need it, but at least they’re the right “size”. The Shaggoth is the same-ish size as regular D-Ogors. It should be Kragnos sized. Hence the joke that somebody screwed up Kholek Suneater. I don’t play Beasts (only chaos army I don’t have). I would buy a Dragon Ogor army if they gave us a proper Shaggoth/Kholek update.
