Belated thanks to EvilBob for additional advice. Here's the list I'm thinking of building towards by adding a billion horrors/flayers to my SC: Flesh Eater Courts - Grand Court: Blisterskin Abhorrant Archregent (240) Abhorrant Ghoul King on Royal Terrorgheist (420) Varghulf Courtier (160) 6 x Crypt Flayers (340) 12 x Crypt Horrors (520) 10 x Crypt Ghouls (100) 10 x Crypt Ghouls (100) BATTALIONS Royal Mordants (120) 2000/2000 C&C welcome. Too many horrors for a blisterskin list? I like that it's exactly 2k points but maybe that's a beginner's list building mistake.

Thanks for the prompt and detailed advice! I'll try and get some games in before asking too many questions Yeah I've never been a magnet guy, though I keep meaning to learn, planning some conversions too which would make magnetising even more unlikely. Not so keen on the Tg spam list for hobby reasons, much prefer the mid-sized models over Largehammer™ but that's just personal preference. One makes an awesome centrepiece, though. I like the idea of a balanced horror-flayer mix as a flexible force to learn with, with some min sized ghoul units for babysitting objectives. A pair of varghulfs seems like a nice conversion project going forwards...

Salutations. Former 40k cheesemonger crawling out of retirement after 10-odd years of wargaming inactivity (not picking a great time for it, I know, but still, when the bug bites...), switching systems for the chance to build an army with NO VEHICLES! FEC have caught my fancy but I have a couple of innocently newbish questions: Q1) does semi-competitive play typically involve bringing along ALL the possible summoning options for your heroes, in addition to your actual list? Seems like a lot of models to paint before unlocking a 2k army... 😮 Q2) Are there any feasible blisterskin lists that don't focus on flayers? I know they're battleline but +2" movement on everything seems exploitable in interesting ways, or am I overthinking things and the grand courts should just spam their associated unit? I've never played AOS, just deciding what to build and paint after SC, Archregent and 10 extra ghouls. Thankye kindly!
