[AoS 2 - Legion of the First Prince Discussion (Belakor)]

I have a 1k event coming up, has anyone come across any glaring problems at this level? I normally stick with 2k but games are games. 
 

Going to run;

 

Belakor

Epitome (general with fourfold and aura)

5 flesh hounds

10 pinks 

[AoS 2 - Legion of the First Prince Discussion (Belakor)]

Hey folks, finally got my first game in last night with legion, coming from slaanesh it made sense to expand into this. 
 

had a hell of a lot of fun, my biggest concern is the damage output, granted I was playing nighthaunt so no rend but I just couldn’t bring him down, won the game thanks to all the movement and charge debuffs I kept on him. 
 

Is this normal for the army or did i have an off night with the dice? 
 

My list was;

daemon prince general with armor artifact and ruinous aura trait 

Epitome with fourfold

be’lakor

kairos

the changeling

plaguebearers 10 x2

ponk horrors 10 x1

spell portal and life swarm

Fair argument. I can see your point of view. My thought personally is that the Mystic Shield spam in a way makes up for the guaranteed all out defense every other army had, so if you needed to add defense on something critical like a Harvester, you had that reliability somewhat through Mystic Shield that other armies had. Now you don't necessarily have that.

I play in a pretty shooting heavy meta so I don't think I'll keep running Harvester anymore because I barely, but fairly consistently kept him alive as is with mystic shield up and now that's a lot less likely to go off on my key target, I'll probably pass him up for more bodies.

I’m in the same boat, I see list after list with harvester, sometimes 2, and wonder how the hell they function…

Everyone in my area knows the danger they pose, and with so much shooting they are deleted pretty quickly. 
 

I’m in the process of painting some immortis guard to replace him, and give Arkhan a chance at surviving the shooting I face in 2/3 games.

Congratulation, tzeentch+archy is my nemesis, would you change something of your list?
There is a list that you would play against tzeentch+archaon without nagash?

I’d change back to PE, and consider endless spells, I’ll have to play with that, teleporting nagash against Archaon is a must. 
 

Without Nagash I’d stick with PE, use Arkhan, try to get Archaon in combat against a blob of mortek buffed with harvester support. Probably take soulmason too for extra dispells, it’s something I’ll have to work on for future games. 
 

the Archai/harbingers and stalkers have all done well for me this edition, I didn’t use them much last, I’m tempted to run more of them.

Archai with helberds?Let me know how goesagainst archaon

They chopped down his screamers but did little against Archaon, they were more a road bump, which worked!

I won the game, but tzeentch is tricky, I had 2 chances to cast hand of dust, 3rd and 5th battle round, both instant dispelled, the last 2 rounds was basically Archaon v nagash, I had 10 mortek left he had a blue scribe, neither were playing a part, he fluffed his king slayer attacks bottom of the 4th, both rolled 1 for priority which I kept, threw everything into him, leaving him on 3 wounds, he failed his saves, but got slayer of kings this time, i fluffed the roll for mortal contract, which would have been hilarious. 
 

I’ll take the win, it played out how I wanted it too even if I lost bone daddy. 
I really didn’t expect it to last 5 full rounds.

I'm gonna be bringing:
Petrifex Elite - Prized Sorcery
Nagash
Liege-Kavalos - General (Mighty Archaeossian/Godbone Armor)
2x20 Mortek Guard
5 Kavalos Deathriders
Bone-Tithe Shrieker
...alll in the Battle Regiment for 1 drop.

We'll see how it goes!

My friend surprised me by dropping teclis on the table last night, he conceded turn 2 after I took out his blob of wardens and teclis 😀

I was running Null Myriad with;

Nagash 

liege (general with the legion stuff)

2 Archai

3 stalkers

5 death riders 

10 mortek

10 mortek

i dont think I’m getting the same result against Archaon tonight but it should be interesting all the same.

I'm wondering the same thing. My first instinct was spell portal, since being able to delete unkillable hero monsters is incredibly valuable this edition, but the biggest offenders (Gotrek, Morathi, Archaon) are immune or very resilient to Hand of Dust, and the +1 to hit is very useful when we can't use All Out Attack. I see denying Rally and Inspiring Presence as minor, situational bonuses.

I have my first game with both Bonereapers and Nagash this weekend - vs Archaon no less - and I'm leaning Shrieker, but I'm not 100% on it.

I have my 2nd game with nagash tonight, then 3rd tomorrow which will be against a tzeentch Archaon, how’s you list looking for the battle?

Hey folks, preparing for a game tonight with Arkhan and have a quick question, does his First if the mortachs ability increase both range values on arcane bolt?
