    I would second that, you can fit a ‘blood hunt’ (the battalion you’re referring to) and a ‘tyrants of blood’ in the same army, Ben Johnson took this to one of the GW heats and did well with it - and now post FAQ you’ll have some points spare. I don’t think ‘the boundless hunt’ - the warscroll from wrath & rapture is valid anymore, it’s points weren’t updated.

    I would say Khorne can be strong but we are simply not as powerful as the most competitive factions, they are just on another level. If anyone is a new or old khorne player and wants to see an overview of factions within AoS I highly recommend watching the honest war gamer. He regularly does shows where he takes tournament results and complies them into a league table to see who is actually top https://youtu.be/K0aLYf2GhpI The link above is a GHB review with mark wildman ( a tournament player who recently has done well with Khorne). The other thing that really matters is context, I always play 2000pts and GHB scenarios. Your views will always differ if your playing 900pts or 1500, home brew missions, intro games at the local GW etc as standard.

    Ok my dude, my reply was half in jest On a positivity note, BoK is one of the largest ‘new factions’ essentially combining bloodbound and daemons as well as having the STD and BoC units available. This is one of my favourite things about the army, I always have a new unit or character to paint/convert/build. I feel some new factions have been really underserved by GW, they barely have more than a handful of units to actually play and here we are complaining they’re not balancing 30+ warscrolls. I’m currently working on some skullcrushers, very tempted by a soul grinder as a big project. Oh and if anyone is in the south west UK a new gaming venue + shop has opened in Weston-super-Mare, the games bunker has plenty of space upstairs and downstairs, pop down for a game!

    GW has a marketing department, we are not it. This thread is for the debate and discussion of the BoK book, if that involves critical feedback it’s GWs failure, not ours.

    I don’t really rate either, although I don’t rate many of the battalions. I only use them for the CP and deployment really, extra rules are a bonus. Are you using the reapers second attack mainly on your bloodletters?
  6. MOMUS
    I always play 2000pts tournament conditions, my meta doesn’t include many shooting lists so combat is the main focus. Agree about the skullcrushers, they just seem so lacklustre nowadays (in 8th Ed they were boss) and even in the various BoK books they’ve been watered down, lost the banner bravery upgrade and lost the mortal wound save on the shields. skullreapers are better IMO, which is a shame as I’m building a box of 6 crushers haha!

    What list are you currently playing with and against? i had a game today of shifting objectives against gristlegore FEC, game was a major win to me but it was a close match. my list: BoUF, WoKB (reapers), skarr Minimum gore pilgrims 10 skullreapers 2x5 dogs hexblah skulls With the new FAQ I’m getting 90pts which is enough to add 5 blood warriors to the minimum gore pilgrims, id say the list is capable but I’m regularly facing death, FEC and slaanesh- which can all bring back or bring on more models faster than I can and who’s key attack units outstrip anything we have. Gristlegore ghoul king with feeding frenzy, 2x30 reaper units raised back for 1cp or slaanesh BS summoning.

    @Charleston idoneth and Fryeslayers are two strong armies, mortals are the weaker part of the BoK book, change up your list.
  9. MOMUS
    So points changes are in! Bloodsecrator-20, great for us, still a key unit for me Skarr bloodwrath-20, I really like this model and it’s nice to squeeze him in more easily, really rate him for objective play/deep strike daemon summon valkia+20, not sure who was annoyed by her at HQ, not really to bothered but just re-read her cmd ability and I like her more now BTIR-10, BTUF-30, WKBT-20, now you’re talking! I regularly field two, decent points drop as they’re not esp overpowered or durable compared to other monster heroes. Skullcannon-10, waste of time, this thing is useless, these things have been 180, 160, 140 and now 130. Maybe just admit defeat and rewrite the rules GW? I’ve never seen them at an event or in casual play, they’re boring! Justice for skullcannons! Apart from that it’s a bit of a naff FAQ for us, mortal units have really been overlooked this year most could do with a point reduction or for their rules to be properly copy pasted. Unless there is a slaves to darkness book this next year will be pretty stale for the khorne book.

    Most of the hero choices are actually squishy apart from the keeper. try and snipe the heroes, anything that deals damage when it dies is great against him, so screen those units and charge in after.
  11. MOMUS
    News just in! Company tries to make money! Water is wet! Careful you don’t get censored by the mods again lol But in all seriousness you don’t actually think the two factors are linked?
  12. MOMUS
    We (the frequent users of the thread) would gather the questions and answers together and then message the mod (gaz) who has the first post to amend it with our FAQ. If anyone is interested in helping out or has noticed a question frequently popping up PM me.
  13. MOMUS
    It can be used to affect a unit once per phase but still can be used multiple times to affect multiple units.
  14. MOMUS
    He can do a prayer, blessing and judgment all in the same turn. @everyone This has been covered multiple times in this thread, now that it’s reached the 200+ mark I’ve noticed a lot of repeat debates, questions etc should we insert a FAQ in a post on the first page?

    My GHB 2019 review BoK: no changes StD: chaos chariots and marauder horsemen are cheaper
  16. MOMUS
    I picked up the open war cards ages ago thinking they would be like the 40k data cards.... they are not lol maesltrom in AoS would be great
  17. MOMUS
    What I would like to see is some kind of new way to play, I also have a side project in 40k and the flexibility and replay value in some of the mission types is far beyond that of AoS. Maybe some mission types of scenarios that promote better play and not just "hur hur I brought two units of 30 kill boys."
  18. MOMUS
    Marauder horsemen going down in points is a good sign. Hopefully other STD units have also dropped opening up some new possibilities. I think anything book changing like tithe points nifty resetting or more priest keywords is unlikely at this point. I’m still painting through my back catalogue and have preordered the book so just have to wait.
  19. MOMUS
    I would be interested in the mercenaries from a modelling perspective, lets you add units you would never normally paint/convert.
  20. MOMUS
    That's a pretty tight summoning space to fit in, within 12 but 9 away. Not sure if you could physically fit the battalion?
  21. MOMUS
    @fwlr fantastic painting! The wings are really great
  22. MOMUS
    Hmmm yea actually, you could murder lust (charge) a unit of skull-crushers in hero phase, wipe the enemy. Then move and charge a fresh unit. very situational but sneaky and nasty.
  23. MOMUS
    A unit cannot charge if it ran previously in the same turn.
  24. MOMUS
    @Impa nice work, really like the scheme and basing!
  25. MOMUS
    Yea you can't go wrong with a couple of priests in almost any list, I'm painting up the skulls judgement to give it a few tests. I actually worry about the priest going up in points in the GHB, the versatility they bring is really good. I wouldn't mind if they let heralds also have blessings.
