With the leaked points increases, is there any theory crafting going on? Wondering if a vanari heavy list edges out ymetrica on the competitive side of things. Im prepping for a GT in a couple months.

I don’t right now. I’ve been holding off because I didn’t want to buy a 4 pack and the new underworlds set has a proxy that looks ideal for ghur. may have to bite the bullet on this one and just buy the full box

Hey all. I’ve been out of AoS since before 3.0 due to having kids…. But going to dip my toes back in in a couple weeks on a 1 day 1k tourney. Looking for feedback on a couple list. option 1: Army Faction: Sylvaneth - Army Subfaction: Heartwood - Grand Strategy: Take What’s Theirs - Triumphs: Inspired LEADER 1 x Arch-Revenant (120)* 1 x Branchwych (130)* - General - Command Traits: Spellsinger - Artefacts: Arcane Tome - Spells: Verdurous Harmony, Verdant Blessing BATTLELINE 5 x Tree-Revenants (110)* - Scion - Glade Banner Bearer - Waypipes 5 x Tree-Revenants (110)* - Scion - Glade Banner Bearer - Waypipes 3 x Kurnoth Hunters with Kurnoth Greatswords (250)* - Huntmaster 3 x Kurnoth Hunters with Kurnoth Greatbows (230)* - Huntmaster ENDLESS SPELL 1 x Spiteswarm Hive (40) TERRAIN 1 x Awakened Wyldwood (0) CORE BATTALIONS: *Battle Regiment TOTAL POINTS: (990/1000) option 2: Army Faction: Sylvaneth - Army Subfaction: Harvestboon - Grand Strategy: Take What’s Theirs - Triumphs: Inspired LEADER 1 x Branchwych (130) - General - Command Traits: Spellsinger - Artefacts: Arcane Tome - Spells: Verdurous Harmony, Verdant Blessing BATTLELINE 3 x Revenant Seekers (235) - Revenant Soulwarden - Seeker Banner Bearer - Seeker Hornblower 6 x Spiterider Lancers (420) - Spiterider Scion - Spiterider Standard Bearer - Spiterider Hornblower 5 x Tree-Revenants (110) - Scion - Glade Banner Bearer - Waypipes 10 x Dryads (100) - Branch Nymph TOTAL POINTS: (995/1000) open to any critiques or advice. If you’re changing out anything, the only units I don’t have are Gossamids and Spite Revs(weird, I know)

So, finally took the plunge here. Been working on my first army and getting it ready for a local GT. One of the folks at my LGS decided he’d rather play Kruelboyz instead of Slaanesh. I had a few units that I could have used to expand my first army(Ironjawz) into big Waagh…. But decided to swap them for a few pieces of Slaanesh to get myself started. indo not have the tome yet, it’s on order but figured I’d see if anyone here had advice on where to look to build out this group of units into making a serviceable list. I do not need to be ultra competitive, I just don’t want to be conceding before the end of 3. the units I got are 2 start collecting daemons on sprue, dexcessa on sprue, contorted, enchantress, 15 seekers, and 3 fiends. questions I immediately have are: can Dexcessa be built as the caster variant? I feel like that’s stronger, but I could be wrong. best build for the SC chariots? I have Sigvald and a Keeper already ordered at the LGS as I love their models. I know I need to get the Fane. Any other staples I’m missing? Any suggestions on how to get this shaped into a decent army for friendly games?

I’d be curious to hear how it holds up, I was messing around with a similar idea. My main concern with a list consisting of 7 total units and 21 total models is that the board presence and ability to contest objectives will be lacking(assuming we’re talking 2 MK, 2 chanters, 2x6 GG, and a unit of 5 brutes rolling in at 1950ish points)

Interesting. Seems like a ton of points locked into Morathi and Gotrek, but since neither are likely to die…. Probably fairly sound

Curious to hear what people are having success with in 3.0. was planning to run Morathi, a bloodwrack, some stalkers. I’d like to run a block of witches with it, but I’m thinking it might be more ideal to just focus strictly on the melusai

Maybe I’m just not keen on the 3.0 rules…. But 2 generals and a vanguard? Is this a less than 2k list(I haven’t done the math)?

I think they’re likely on the right track if you’re looking to win tourneys(or place highly). I feel like that’s probably a bit oppressive for LGS play

I’m running Morathi and a unit of 10 Blood Sisters. And another threat in a large block of shards. Works pretty well, puts out solid damage and the shadow Queen buffs the sisters

You’re right... that’s a bit tougher of a bullet to bite. With 100 spare points I could for sure find something useful to do. tbh, I’d love to run Morathi, but she’s 600 points and 2 DoK units, needing 6 CoS to cover her. I’m worried I’d be hamstringing the rest of my army to get her in a list.

Could do something like: - Dreadlord on dragon-general. Murderous zeal and traitors banner -sorceress of dragon- sap strength -sorceress - Nullstone Vizard and vitriolic spray -assassin - hag queen battleline: -dark shards x30 -Dreadspears x10 - Dreadspears x10 other: -shadow warriors x10 -witch Aelves x30 battallion: — Shadowpact endless: - Spell portal 1990/2000 my concern is for the witch aelves with a 6+ save and no survivability from one of the DoK temples.

I had considered it. Hag with a block of Witch Aelves. They just seem very squishy... and I’d lose out on my spray transport and likely have to go back to using spell portal.

I agree. I like the concept of Pit, but in general... you’d need a good roll and a low movement unit to be worthwhile.

Warlocks are pretty mediocre stat wise. 2 wounds, 5+ save, 6 bravery. Hitting on 4/4 with two attacks. -1 tend. But they haul at 14” move and can cast. Their warscroll spell is cast on 6+ and does mw (d3 on units under 5 modes, d6 on 5-9, and flat 6 on 10+). I am also worried about the assassin being a waste of 60 points... but the model is fantastic. If it ends up garbage, I can take those and the 20 spare and paint up a scourgerunner chariot. the Slaughter Queen is interesting. She’s also a priest so she can do the city prayer on a unit. She also has a self target prayer that lets her fight twice. Save 5+ and two decent weapons(3 att, 3/4 -1, 1 and 3 att, 3/3 -1, d3). Mostly she’s coming along for the prayer.

Tossing around an idea, curious to see if anyone had any thoughts on it. Leaders: - Dreadlord on Black Dragon: General-Murderous Zeal, Traitors Banner - Sorceress on Black Dragon(Kraeth): Sap Strength - Sorceress: Nullstone Vizard. The Withering(or Pit of Shades?) - Assassin - Slaughter Queen Battleline: -Darkshards x30 -Dreadspears x20 -Dreadspears x10 Other Units: -Doomfire Warlocks x10: Vitriolic Spray - Shadow Warriors x10 Battalion: Kraeth’s Shadowpact. 1980/2000 idea is to use the warlocks as a mobile save shred(with a useful spell of out of range for spray). Opening them up to the Darkshards, assassin, or dragons.

So, then... @overtninja if I dropped my sisters of the watch to 10. I could take an emerald lifeswarm plus knight-azryos For the reroll 1 aura. mayve something like that?

Appreciate it, @overtninja Id have to reduce the size of one of my units for ELS... maybe the handguns or Greatswords.

So, I am brand new to AoS and was gifted 6 Kurnoth Hunters and some Dryads by a friend to bring me in. Also the Sylvaneth Tome. I was... not a fan, but found out that I can use some Sylv in LC... so, that’s where I went. I’m not looking to necessarily win tournaments, but I’d prefer to not be wiped out by turn two with my friend or at the local FLGS. Wondering if anyone would mind critiquing my list. living city-Ghyran leaders: -Nomad Prince(General): Druid of the Everspring, cage of thorns, spear of the hunt -Freeguild General -Battlemage: cage of thorns -Arch-Revenant Units: -Eternal Guard(20)(Battleline) -Sisters of the Watch(20)(battleline) -Freeguild Handguns(20)(battleline) -Freeguild Greatswords(20) -Sisters of the Thorn(5):spell? -Kurnoth Hunters(6):Scythes? idea being to send the Sylvaneth and maybe the sisters of the thorn on the hidden paths. Could alternatively run a runelord, longbeards, and irondrakes instead of the Freeguild. i also don’t know who to make my generals adj. or what spell to give the sisters... heal to keep the hunters alive or the armor spell for the same reason. Or the retinue, though I’d lean towards the guard probably im new to war gaming in general, though do understand synergies decently from past experience with CCGs.

Curious if someone could point me in the right direction. was gifted a couple models and planned to build around it. Have a list in mind, where could I bounce it off someone(s) more experienced. Don’t need to win tournaments, just don’t want to get wiped off the table . also wondering if there was a resource for finding a local scene. Most FLGS I’ve called around me have thriving 40k or Warmachine groups, but little to no AoS
