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

with the new Maggotkin adding new demons as possibilities i got a rules question:

Can the new Great Unclean One use the Fourfold Blade artifact for his Host of Nurglings attacks or do these not qualify as a melee weapon?

The GUO warscroll refers to that he is "armed with Noxious Bile, a Host of Nurglings and 1 of the following weapon options: [...]"

The Fourfold Blade description says "Pick 1 of the bearer´s melee weapons [...]"

Battleline
5 x Chaos Knights (170)*
- Ensorcelled Weapons
- Mark of Chaos: Tzeentch
10 x Chaos Warriors (200)**
- Hand Weapon & Shield
- Mark of Chaos: Tzeentch
10 x Chaos Warriors (200)**
- Hand Weapon & Shield
- Mark of Chaos: Tzeentch

on paper i don´t see 10 warriors as much better than 10 marauders actually. changes when it´s 20 warriors as then they are a very difficult to block to shift. if you didn´t have good experiences with knights, maybe it´s interesting to reshuffle here to get that 20 CW block in?

Throwing all of your monsters in a huge pile at your opponents sounds stupid, but it somehow worked our very well for me. You do not have to be afraid of 20 buffed grave guard when you can fight with 2 DP's, a Manticore and Belakor before they get their first activation. 

Belakor doesn´t have Strike First, does he?

i like the list but wonder how it can dislodge a tough unit that sits on an objective, sounds hard to find the space/make all charges to get all 4 characters to attack one unit?
