I read that as a d6 per model in the gorebeast unit. The ‘this’ refers to the chariot unit itself.

still a potential 3d6 damage. 
 

and don’t forget they move out of combat with this ability! 

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

I haven’t tried them yet. I’m struggling to find a place for the marshal. His ability to rally troops is awesome, but I can’t justify running marauders or iron golems undivided. I’m toying with the idea of ability stacking a big blob of undivided marauders. 4+ save, 6+ Ward, rally on 5+. But is it better than 20  Tzeench warriors?

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

Here’s to marauders staying good in the upcoming book. Just finished these fourty savages.

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

Well it didn’t go super well. I goofed by charging first turn with my knights, out of reach of all the buffs. 
 

the Varanguard are super durable, but didn’t manage to kill the vampire-centaur. 
 

we came to turn three when I was out of time. It was really close up to this part, but if we would have gone on I would have withered away. 
 

Next time I’m going to try allot of dp’s and melee.

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

Thanks for the reply. With the match being tomorrow and we already sharing lists, I’m keeping it as is. But I’m sure I’ll run into those issues. I just really want to try those units out 😛 

I hope I can use bloodslick ground to delay his army enough that the lord can keep up with the Varanguard. 

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

This is the list I came up with. It’s probably hot garbage. I tried finding a spot for both Be’Lakor and the Varanguard.

What I hope it does is give me control options by reducing movement and dictating the order of fights, and allowing me to fight double at some stages. 
What are your thoughts?

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

My first battle against SBGL is upcoming. Would you say to bring all  casters, or none at all?

I’m struggling coming up with a 1500 points army. Especially in the new setting (with which I’m totally unfamiliar).

6 Marauders so far.

What models are you using? They look right Nurgly

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

How are Mindstealer Sphiranx’ used on the tt? What’s their role? What do you combo them with?
 

I want to use one badly in a despoiler list.

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

I’m real curious about that 5DP list I keep hearing about. I can’t seem to find it anywhere, can someone post a link or something?

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

Couldn’t help myself and now I’m chaosifying the dominion stormcasts. Here’s the first one.
Not sure yet what to do with the shield. 

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

Hey peeps, I finished a colorscheme test model, what do you think? I enjoyed painting this one so much that I’m tempted to get the dominion SC’s and slap them all on 32mm bases and call them a single unit of warriors.

Wouldn’t you rather have halberds for an extra ‘row’ of attacks? More attacks offset the lower to wound roll.

Mind if I join as well? 
I’m new to AoS (I’ve played whfb) and could use some input/inspiration with aos

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

I’m new to AOS so forgive a noobie question.

I just found out that according to gw Furies go on 25mm bases. Mine are mounted on the 32mm ones that came in the box. Is it worth it to rebase them? 

I understand the advantage of mounting say marauders on 25mm. But is it worth the hassle for the furies? I’m not a tournament player btw

 

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

Thanks for the reply. I’m using the ogroids as a base for a Daemonprince conversion. Probably should have been more clear haha. I somehow figured out a regular dp should be the general. 

Good to hear all is not lost. 30 Marauders lined up still look pretty impressive, and it gives me the opportunity to remove my least-favorite conversions. 
 

thanks for the reply, and I’ll probably be back soon for more questions/answers!

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

Well hello. A year ago corona made me pick up my brush again, and now I’m fully invested in aos (something I swore I would never do when it was announced and I quit the hobby). I guess gw always wins in the end.

Anyway, I decided I wanted to collect and play again. I know the rules only a little bit, but I like the idea of a Despoiler list, with multiple Princes and a big cat, maybe led or joined by Be’Lakor. 
 

I started at the bottom by converting a big ol’ unit of marauders, I just about finished the 40th only to read they are limited to 30 now! I guess painting 30 is faster than 40… 

Question 1: Do I even bother painting this unit?

Question 2: list building:

I have 40 marauders, 6 furies, a big cat, Corvus Cabal, and 2 ogroids that are about to ascend into daemon hood. 
I’d like to purchase the start collecting box and Be’Lakor. What would you suggest to add or remove for a somewhat viable (but not hyper competitive) list? 
 

cheers,

max
