The Stoker may be the most important character there is in a Goretide list. 26” charge range on Warriors and Reavers can make for a crippling strike if your opponent doesn’t know about it.

Cypher lords actually get a mark now, apparently, according to S2D page. It’s in the newest WD update

Skarbrand can have up to 3A with Carnage…removing one is still getting hit in the face with two. 

[Sold]

I wish I had the disposable income for this right now, I’d take it in a heartbeat. If I can sell some stuff quickly to open funds, I’d love to have it

Anyone else excited for Bladeborn? Looks like we can essentially use the Dread Pagent in WarCry-lite. I see no reason why we can’t pit them against existing WarCry bands as the cards look identical in style to me. $50 Barnes and Noble pickup. Day-one purchase for me. Let’s me use a Sphyrinx, Spire Tyrants, Untamed Beasts, Dread Pagent, Eyes of 9, Garrek’s Reavers, krugah’s Ravagers, Godsworn Hunt and Ghasrak’s all in a tiny standalone game. Super exited.

Yeah, wording is important. If it said “fight an additional time”, you would have been good. 

[AoS 2 - Blades of Khorne Discussion]

Next up is gonna be a Doombull with two axes made out of Bloodthirster leftover bits with modified bullgor torso. Not as hard as it sounds, if you have a Skarbrand box you have extra legs which is the tough bit. 
 

oh, and this is going to be for sale when it’s finished. 

[AoS 2 - Hedonites of Slaanesh Discussion]

So I just wanted to share my finished work here (Khorne thread not as active). That unpainted Valkia conversion I shared is finished. And she has a Slaanesh daemon on her shield, so I’m claiming “countsies” lol. 

[AoS 2 - Blades of Khorne Discussion]

And…Valkia!

[AoS 2 - Hedonites of Slaanesh Discussion]

I must be in the minority, because I actually think the Blades of Khorne book is very well designed. You can go INSANE horde, monster mash, or elite troops. The problem isn’t that book, it’s books like Luminoth, Seraphon or Tzeentch that pulled out the hallucinogens when writing. 
 

I’m primarily a Slaanesh fan. But I can admit our book, in a vacuum, doesn’t have the internal synergy of BoK. 
 

 

also, the new app is up in beta and it’s awesome. 

[AoS 2 - Blades of Khorne Discussion]

I’d actually like to see the Blood Tithe go to “before the game starts, declare whether you’ll use it to provide buffs or summon” and see each of the other 3 god specific books gain a similar table with that option. I hope it doesn’t go away

[AoS 2 - Hedonites of Slaanesh Discussion]

So I’ve had to take a hobby break from Slaanesh (I keep multiple projects to avoid army burnout). Finally finished sculpting my Valkia the Bloody conversion since an awesome guy on FB sent me some DoK wings. Shameless plug of my work (painted pictures to follow soon). Just have to sand down some edges that were sculpted last night.

Is there any use to Valkia under new rules? Currently finishing up a conversion of her

 

edit: kind of answered my own question. Debuffs to hit and wound, has an innate 3+ and can give morale refills (risky). Definitely have a place for this Valkyrie. 

Next picture will be fully painted. Sculpting is done, made a few small changes to feet area and the shield. Had to fix the horns

Personally, I have 25 of the buggers and did 15 spears, 10 whips.

Is here anyone using bullgors as their main key hammer in competitive game?

Frankly, for me, it seems like there isn't any main dealing unit for pure nurgle. 

plague drones could be one of the candidates, but I felt it is quite hard to keep it 7'' of nurgle daemon hero except Lord of Afflictions. AND LOA isn't also stable dealing hero. 

Daemon Prince of Nurgle or Verminlord Corruptor can both stay close by with ease. Between the new rules for Spoilpox and Bilepiper, followed by staying close to a prince or Verminlord (or both), Plague Drones get a metric ton of attacks. 

[AoS 2 - Hedonites of Slaanesh Discussion]

And…done. Lord of Slaanesh, Lord of Pain, w/e…ready to hit the table. 
 

only good Stormcast is one that joins chaos (he wanted cookies) 😂

[AoS 2 - Hedonites of Slaanesh Discussion]

Finally got my hands on the free Vindictor yesterday. Meet my second Lord of Pain, or Lord of Slaanesh. Whichever. Started priming, but got called away in the middle of it. 
 

as a chaos player, I am absolutely loving the new Stormcast models!

[AoS 2 - Disciples of Tzeentch Discussion]

I  posted this in the Slaanesh side (they were talking about it, and I’m mostly a Slaanesh player). You can’t pick to wound blues if there are pinks left. You can’t damage brims if blues are left. What if the unit is purchased only with pinks and brims? Wipe the brims first, have the pinks survive. Ablative wounds until the end. Can make the unit last a lot longer. And if brims die and you bring models back…why not bring back pinks? Loophole? I think so. And RAW, i think it works 

[AoS 2 - Hedonites of Slaanesh Discussion]

You know what’s great about that pink horror wording? You can’t remove blues if any pinks are alive. You can’t remove any brimstones if blues are alive. RAW, you CAN remove brimstones if pinks are alive…blues are dead, long live pink/brim units!

Huh, apparently a Soulblight FAQ just dropped... no clue if that was random or if we can expect one soon...

Good or bad news for them?

[AoS 2 - Hedonites of Slaanesh Discussion]

So, I know Be’Lakor and Archaon go into Slaanesh lists all the time…but how about a crazy idea of sending Synessa into a S2D army: led by Be’Lakor (no Archaon), two Marauder bombs of 30, a sorcerer, a third small unit of Marauders, a Hypno-Cat, Synessa and a Bloodstoker allied in. Marauders marked Khorne and whipped, Synessa can command them from anywhere and has access to all Slaanesh spells, even as an ally. The Marauders are 100% guaranteed to hit with the teleport spell, buffed by sorcerer

 

oh and a Khorne Warshrine is a must too. 

[AoS 2 - Hedonites of Slaanesh Discussion]

What was the issue in the paper instructions? I didn’t have any issues that I know of. East coast US, btw, and I got mine in the initial run. 

[AoS 2 - Hedonites of Slaanesh Discussion]

Update on Be’Lakor time! Since he’s in my HoS list, I can plug him. Lol. Between Archaon and Be’Lakor taking up so many points, having the other stuff painted afterwards should be cake. All the Greater Daemons for the other god-centric lists are painted (BT unfettered, Kairos, GUO w/Bell), but Synessa is only primed to stand in for a Keeper as she’s far better. Cogs are painted though!!
