Hey guys new batrep. So played against annhilator spam stormcast with a morphann thrall spam list. Played what used to be called shifting objectives. My list was:

this was wrapped up in 2 warlord battalions one for the extra artifact and one for an extra spell.
it’s been a few days since I played this game so I don’t remember all the details, the stormcast player took the win 19-16. It was a close game and I know I messed up by not taking both sides of the board I focused one side and he basically ran away with the points in the final 2 turns. But up until that point, the 30 thralls survived 4 turns in combat. Bringing back d3+3 every turn was really great, I’d inspiring presence and then bring back 5 dudes on average. My opponent wiped them bottom of 4 with a long charge off 1 annhilator, the lord imperatant yndrasta and 5 vindictors all slapping them. Was definitely a lot of fun to play that list and I can definitely fiddle with the points a little bit by dropping the second soul render for something else.

@umpac I think I might throw mine in a list for my game against stormcast tomorrow. Been kinda wanting to throw it in and see how it does

No batreps or any new opinions on list building since we’ve been seeing tournaments with deepkin taking first place? Anyone think the incarnate has a place in a deepkin list?
-
I’m probably gonna give it another shot. I’ve had two games with that list. One against KO and the other against those thunderlizards. So definitely need to practice more.
-
Game 2 tonight was against the new local seraphon player in my scene and it was a very different game from the first one. His list was the typical thunderlizards list (with a few alternatives like a stegadon for his 3rd battleline )that we’ve seen floating around the internet and I can see why it’s such a popular list, there are answers to everything from that list and he piloted it pretty well. I took a fuethan shark heavy list and the list was:

this game I was playing on the backfoot from the very beginning I went forward not thinking about all the seraphon tricks that I know so well since I also play seraphon and I paid the price for it each turn, along with my rather cold dice rolling when it came to magic and dispelling rolls my opponent definitely outplayed me and I didn’t manage to kill a lot of anything besides his skink chief on stegadon and a skink priest, we called it turn 3 since at that point he managed to kill my king in his turn and I had 2 sharks and my eidolon left on the board. It was a tight game and at no point did I ever feel he ran away with the game until the final turn when he basically just mopped up my army and I didn’t see a path to victory.
my thoughts from that game are that while sharks are fun I don’t think the shark heavy list is actually that impressive.
-
Game one report. Took the win against the big waagh warclans list, His list was comprised of, 3 units of 10 savage orruks, 3 units of 6 boltboyz a unit of 6 gore-gruntas a boss on troggoth, a war chanter, and a prophet dude who does mortals with his mask.
my list was:

the mission was apex predators.
I out dropped him so I had choice for first turn and gave it away while flipping the tides. So turn one didn’t result in much from either of us we basically jostled around the table score was 2-1 in his favor, I won the roll off and got the double turn. This took off with me killing his general the 6 gore gruntas and most of a unit of savage orruks. And then In his turn he killed my turtle while also killing the prophet who did 14 of the 16 wounds to the turtle before dying. The boltboyz wiped out the turtle and my eidolon of the sea with not a whole lot of effort. He won the roll off for turn 3 and he started by Moving up his warchanter and charged my unit of thralls which decimated the prophet. At this point neither of us had any hero’s left since he killed my Tide caster and the eidolon so it came down to battle tactics and I was running away with the game at this point so we called it.
my thoughts on this game were that thralls are fun and do some solid damage but I think the reavers were a little more impressive, I never got to leverage dom-hain’s abilities since he kept everything pretty tight so I never had much breathing room, I think if I had the king it might have made a big difference for me. Ultimately fun game and my opponent was a pleasure to play against.

Battle reports to follow tonight for two games I played orruk warclans and seraphon
-
Next week I get my first game with namarti. Pretty excited to give them a shot.
-
Been awfully quiet… no new games to report on?
-
So I’m playing with the not 1 drop army lists, trying the dhom-hain list idea. No blender king this time around I’m also going for as many charge bonuses as I can get in the list, currently I can get one unit a +4 to charge of if I run into a combat army I can get a +5 to charge turn 2, if something like the khorne daemon prince does pop up in my meta again I can still manage the charge bonuses. Anyways here’s the list

@Siorra I was surprised too and as far as I understood it not everyone played lotann that way. I’m just happy I finally got him and that I can use him that way. Got my boats this week got all my thralls and characters this week got lotann. It’s like the stars are lined up perfectly for me lol
-
Local commission painter of mine found lotann at his local store so yay I get to start playing with the cheap as chips absolute buff hero.
-
@Liquidsteel lotann is still out of stock in the US and I refuse to pay triple digits for a 35 dollar model to buy him off eBay. Might just see if I can find a 3d print one until I can pick up the plastic one.
-
@Liquidsteel well good thing that most people played as only one king could pull off that ability so nobody is going to be really upset by it lotann just got a big buff, Yay namarti with the 5+ ward turn 1.
-
@umpac sub factions for the two lists for the Canada tournament were mor’phann and nautilar. Second place was the nautilar list and the player was Jordan from season of war.
-
Im also noticing a trend that a lot of the really good players are drifting away from 1 drops. So many players that I hear talk to aos coach or warhammer weekly end up with 1 drops or 5-13 drops. So I’m glad we’re finally getting away from gotta go first gotta go first outside of specific armies that want or need to be going first

don’t know if this will play out well but a null deployment deepkin list could be fun
-
You’re right, I second guessed myself.
-
@DocKeule Think you’re still short one unit to take that second aetherwings unit, I was flipping through the core rules and you indeed can only take one allied unit for every 4 units in your list. It’s weird that nobody’s caught that but I guess it hasn’t been an issue since most people only take one allied unit.
-
I’m going to take that Sydney gt list for a spin except I have to swap the 6 morsaar for something else since I still lack the eels.

can swap out 10 reavers for a shark. I’ll give both a shot in a few weeks when I get back into the swing of gaming after my vacation

Sure. But everywhere I turn with content creators and locally. Seraphon are the top army. But nobody really says why. Their book hasn’t really changed from second edition except kroak. And not being able to use essentially an entire sub faction due to the changes in 3rd edition. Like what makes them a top army, they don’t do ranged mortals the way other armies do and they lack any real ward save except as coalesced and only within your territory. I have fun with the army and all and I have won games but I can’t find the path to victory against armies like dragons and nurgle.
-
Anyone on here able to explain why suddenly the bastiladon is one of the most busted models in the game? His profile hasn’t changed from when the book dropped in 2020 except for the fact that it suffers from rend now instead of being unrendable for the first 3 wounds. Everyone in my play group keeps telling me seraphon are op but I look at match ups against dragons and nurgle fly spam and I don’t see a path to victory.
-
100%, But if I’m wrong cool. Still wish kroxigor were worth a look. In the modern mortal wound shooting meta they just don’t accomplish anything
-
I am more than happy to be wrong, I own 6 of them and they never see the table because they are over priced and have little interaction with the book because they lack any keywords beyond seraphon

So played a game against troll spam gloomspite gitz and used the incarnate in that game, and I think it was really fun to use. I definitely would’ve lost the game had I not kept the incarnate alive by capitalizing on my opponent’s mistake. I ran away with the game at the bottom of turn 4 but it was super close until then.
