    AoS 2 - Blades of Khorne Discussion

    in Chaos

    Posted · Edited by Thrax

    @Iradekhorne I think you are right. It would be best to put a second bloodthister instead of karkadrak chaos lord + flesh hounds. For now I will do with this and will learn from my mistakes. As well I might change all of it when the BT v3 will come for us.

    Plus, I put this first bloodthister precisely for my army to have some punch. I would have prefered to put a pair of korgoraths instead but they are obviously very bad.

    @AresX8 mentionned that bloodsecrator within a skull latar expands its radius, where does that rule comes from? It obviously interest me for the impacts of my chaos knights of Khorne (They should be name blood nights, just like blood warriors!)

    Grimrock thank you very much for your advice. It makes complete sense and it confirm my choices. I will magnetise the different weapons of the bloodthister to be able to change at will and try them all. With the Wrath of Khorne bloodthirster I reach exactly 2000 pts. And I sure will share my feedbacks, blood for the blood god!

    Forgot something

    Hello everyone! Time has come to spend some money on beautiful models. I ask your opinion about this list I thought (and partially already bought / painted) to know if I will be ridiculously weak facing other armies and I not making a mistake making this purchases. I am not planning to be winning tournament, but I want to have opportunities to be clever and win at least some matches here and there.

    The theme of the army is: "The hunt of Khorne" (Dogs, horses, monsters!)

     

     

    Allegiance: Khorne

    Slaughterhost: Reapers of Vengeance

    Grand Strategy: Pillars of Belief

    Triumphs: Bloodthirsty

     

    LEADERS

    Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage (280)
    General - Command Trait: Mage Eater
    Artefact: Skullshard Mantle

    Bloodsecrator (125) (already painted)

    Slaughterpriest (100) (already painted)
    Prayer: Blood Sacrifice

    Bloodstoker (80) (already painted)

    Slaves to Darkness Daemon Prince (210)
    Axe
    Mark of Chaos: Khorne

    Chaos Lord on Karkadrak (225) (already painted)
    Mark of Chaos: Khorne

    UNITS

    10 x Bloodreavers (80) (already painted)
    Reaver Blades

    5 x Flesh Hounds (105)

    5 x Flesh Hounds (105)

    5 x Flesh Hounds (105)

    5 x Chaos Knights (170) (already painted)
    Cursed Lance
    Mark of Chaos: Khorne

    5 x Chaos Knights (170)
    Cursed Lance
    Mark of Chaos: Khorne

    BEHEMOTHS

    Chaos Warshrine (215) (already bought)
    Mark of Chaos: Khorne
    Prayer: Killing Frenzy

    TOTAL: 1970/2000 WOUNDS: 129

     

    For the strategy: Priests and Chaos lord and Bloodstocker buff knights tagged hunters to kill enemy lines across battlefield, I dont know if cursed lances or enchanted weapons are better.
    Bloodthister and demon prince hunt for enemy threat, almost immune to magics with his artefact, (like Ironclad, or Mawcrusha)
    Hounds tag objectives, 
    Blood reavers are here to generate blood tithe,
    Too bad I cannot fit in the hexgorgers skulls.

     

    What do you guys think about this? Any advice and tip is much appreciated, I am a new player.

    Thank you for copying to me the Flayed rules Perturbato. It looks pretty strong but as you said Goretide looks cool as it is. Tho nothing prevents me from swapping from one to another as I'll have the army already. I asked suggestions mostly for clarifications, to know what to buy from local store and what would the budget be.

    So thanks a lot guys your advices has been very helpful to me! And blood for the blood God!

    Thx Salyx and Roark for the feedbacks. I must tell that its a very cool army you helped me to build. I didn't like the chaos warshrine model but I saw some pretty neat conversions for Khorne based on other mounts underneath it - now I don't know if I will have enough time to finish the army before AoS3 and a new Khorne battletome! With your suggestions here is how it looks. I followed Salyx plan because it feels right:

    Allegiance: Khorne
    - Slaughterhost: The Goretide


    LEADERS
    Slaves to Darkness Daemon Prince (210)
    - General
    - Command Trait: Hew the Foe
    - Sword
    - Artefact: Thronebreaker's Torc

    Bloodsecrator (120)

    Slaughterpriest (100)
    - Blood Blessing: Killing Frenzy

    Slaughterpriest (100)
    - Blood Blessing: Blood Sacrifice

    Chaos Lord on Karkadrak (230)
    - Artefact: Gorecleaver

    UNITS
    5 x Blood Warriors (100)
    - Goreaxe & Gorefist

    10 x Bloodreavers (70)
    - Reaver Blades

    10 x Bloodreavers (70)
    - Reaver Blades

    5 x Chaos Knights (160)
    - Cursed Lance

    5 x Chaos Knights (160)
    - Cursed Lance

    5 x Chaos Knights (160)
    - Cursed Lance

    5 x Chaos Knights (160)
    - Cursed Lance

    BEHEMOTHS
    Chaos Warshrine (170)
    - Blood Blessing: Brazen Fury

    BATTALIONS
    Gore Pilgrims (140)

    ENDLESS SPELLS / TERRAIN / COMMAND POINTS
    Hexgorger Skulls (40)

    TOTAL: 1990/2000 WOUNDS: 136

    I will consider the Flayed but it seems like it's part of another battletome - I don't find the rules associated with it or I'm blind. I can mix the chaos knights together or not / they will be more impactful as 15 but forcing opponent to shoot little squads means the remaining ones will hit at full strength. I am happy as how it looks like now. Now I am hesitating to rekt the chaos warriors (still on sprue) to do some kitbashing using their beautiful cloacks or keep them for other armies lol.

    Chaos Knights can be an awesome assault force in a Khorne army. The absolute best IMHO. But they need to have lances, the Knights of Chaos command, and the Undivided Warshrine prayer. 

    Thank you for the advice! I decided to add a lord on Karkadrak to use his command ability. Here is how it looks like:


    Allegiance: Khorne
    - Slaughterhost: The Goretide


    LEADERS 
    Slaves to Darkness Daemon Prince (210)
    - General
    - Command Trait: Hew the Foe
    - Sword
    - Artefact: The Crimson Crown (glue everyone)
    Bloodsecrator (120) 
    - Artefact: The Brazen Rune (More dispells and no spell sniping)
    Slaughterpriest (100) 
    - Blood Blessing: Killing Frenzy
    Slaughterpriest (100) 
    - Blood Blessing: Bronzed Flesh
    Chaos Lord on Karkadrak (230) (Go with Chaos Knights)


    UNITS 
    5 x Blood Warriors (100) 
    - Goreaxe & Gorefist
    5 x Blood Warriors (100) 
    - Goreaxe & Gorefist
    10 x Bloodreavers (70) 
    - Reaver Blades
    5 x Wrathmongers (140) 
    5 x Chaos Knights (160) 
    - Cursed Lance
    5 x Chaos Knights (160) 
    - Cursed Lance
    15 x Chaos Warriors (270) 
    - Hand Weapon & Shield
    (I can delete 15 chaos warriors and have 2x10 chaos knights instead of 2x5)


    BATTALIONS
    Gore Pilgrims (140)


    ENDLESS SPELLS / TERRAIN / COMMAND POINTS
    Hexgorger Skulls (40)

    Skull Altar (0)


    TOTAL: 1940/2000 WOUNDS: 139
    LEADERS: 5/6 BATTLELINES: 4 (3+) BEHEMOTHS: 0/4 ARTILLERY: 0/4
    ARTEFACTS: 2/2 ENDLESS SPELLS: 0/3 ALLIES: 0/400

     

    For more horses I can add 10 more chaos knights and take out the 15 chaos warriors - I then reach 1990/2000. Idea is that the Gore Pilgrim helps to buff the many horses / demon prince/ lord on karkadrak which are going to be far away with +1 atk. The wrathmongers helps giving some punch to the footmen and deal with hords. I wish I could include a bloodstocker for his whip ability.

    Thanks guys for helping! Any suggestion is welcomed.

    Hey guys. I am a new player fan of khorne and I like the mood of a chivalry army as well (I absolutely love the chaos knights models). I never played AoS yet but I played 40k in the past. I recently bought 2 start collecting boxes; the khorne mortal and the slaves to darkness. Reason for this is that I can mark my slaves to darkness figures with the khorne mark. I made a list and I have a few questions regarding to battalions;

    Is it possible with the alliegiance to khorne and having the goretide as a slautherhost, to have 2 battalions from different books?

    I thought about using in a single army Gore Pilgrims (140) from blades of khorne as well as Ruinbringer Warband (140) from slaves to darkness for a 2000 points army. I hope its not a silly question! To answer this would guide my choices for future purchases and that's why I ask your opinion to light my lantern, cause I am sometimes very confused.
