Brooch is definitely superior to Eye. If you have both it can help you keep up summoning after your initial dump though. But then you are quite light on units. Running both over 5 games I had something like 7, 7, 8, 9, and 10 summoning points (after sacrifices) on turn 1 with 1CP left in the bank for emergencies. Over the course of the 5 games I summoned something like 30 ungors, 20 bestigors, 1 Ghorgon and 6 Chimera. Therefore I think you're gonna always have enough to summon anything you want turn 2, and occasionally you'll have enough to summon something big turn 1 as well. I prefer a Chimera for the MW shooting and the +2 to charge. It really messes people up because they don't expect it, and even if they do, they don't expect D6MWs at 14" range. It also gives them a horrible choice. Pull units away from objectives to deal with the Chimera, or let it run around mauling units and roasting small heroes. Once thing to note. The Allherd summoning generation happens BEFORE you sacrifice at the headstone, so you need to make a judgement about whether you are gonna go all in for all 10 points turn 1 or not. This means you cant guarantee many many you get from sacrificing before spending the CP, and often waiting for turn 2 is better anyway, so I always save one CP rather than going all in.

I've been running mostly Allherd since the book dropped. You can season the list to your tastes, but the key points are that you need at least 1 battalion to get the Aetherquartz Brooch, preferably 2 to get the Knowing Eye as well, and to make up for the loss of of only being able to buy 1 CP now. Depraved Drove is an obvious choice. Desolating can be a good second choice but that requires a lot of units, so Despoilers may be easier to fill and might make up the price difference in fewer taxes.

I'd drop 2 of those Ungors units for a 6 pack of bulls and a Beastlord. 6 bulls with re-rolls are a real nutcracker unit.

There were loads of mistakes in this: Cacophonic Choir was done wrong. They did it as D3 MW per point of bravery to 1 unit only. Think they mixed it with another spell. They didn't know Daemonettes could re-roll charges, and spent CPs on it. They got the range for the Herdstone Shard wrong. its wholly within 6", not within 6". This is the way the item SHOULD work, but it doesn't, so its actually useless because you can almost never get Bullgors wholly within 6". Beastlord can re-roll hits of 1s and ALL wound rolls vs heroes, so he should have done WAY more damage to the keeper. They didn't seem to realise that the KoS was a double caster. They forgot that the KoS does MWs of wounds of 6. There are probably more, but whatever, I'm not trying to rag on them. it was fun to watch, but more mistakes than normal.

I was talking about units that could be in a Slaanesh army
-
Syll’Esske will give you the re-roll 1s aura, and then you can use the 1-shot +1 to hit artefact too. Then give the used artefact to the Fane for re-rolls
-
I paused GMGs video and read (squinted at) the page. Compared to the battalion above, they weren’t keyword bolded to my eye.
-
Heralds arent in that battalion, its 2-6 Daemonettes, 0-4 Hellflayers, Fiends or Exalted Chariots. I think the bolding means the Hellflayers and Exalted Chariots get the bonus through the Daemonette keyword
-
no you cant im afraid
-
I think you just dont run this if you go pretenders. You take the nette batt instead.
-
Let’s talk about CAs. The book only has 2 it seems. Meaning that Syll’Esske is the only unit in the army that must be the general to use their CA even if we add STD and BoC they are still the only one I think. They are also a named character (I presume) so you won’t want to make them your general. Therefore until we see the rest of the book Syll’Esske’s CA seems to be the only reason to go invaders. No one else needs to be the general (except Darkoath Warqueen, but come on).
-
I’m shocked if this is true. I thought fiends might be going down if anything
-
No benefit? The batt is competitively priced for what it gives. Once the FAQ lets BoK take the Battalion then we can have some fun! Bloodsecrator works on all Khorne, so extra attacks, no battleshock, and relic banners (I’ll Taketo’s banner of rage to make the re-roll 1s to hit into re-roll all within 8”). Bloodstoker works on all Khorne so +3 to run and charge, and re-roll 1s to wound. Slaughterpriest prayers work on all Khorne too, so you can have +1 to saves, +1 to hit or D3 wounds healed for example. Lots of options! ...gotta get that FAQ though.
-
I think there is a Battalion for each god that you must use to get the marks. Otherwise no marks. However from waht we have seen/heard they are very flexible. They can be taken as BoC batt, or as a batt in an army of the relevant god. I dont have the points for a full 2k BoC army yet, so I may run 1,000 points or so of Warherds in the Khorne Battalion as part of a Blades of Khorne army for now.
-
I don’t expect any new models. The only one that kinda makes sense to me would plastic centigors. Those things are WAY too expensive, and I don’t want to touch finecast as far as I can avoid it. Part of the fun of this army is seeing a cool unit/model, realising it is finecast and so requires a new mortgage, and then figuring out how to kitbash my own version. Lastly, Ungors are so ugly. I really didn’t want to get any. But since they are in the new Start Collecting I think I’m ok with having them just to be kicked into a fire ? I can sacrifice the ugly to summon a beautiful Ghorgon
-
From the stream it looks like you get 2 horn attacks at 4+ 4+ Rend - damage 1. How does that affect the maths? The Ghorgon triggers D3 MW on a 6 now. He also has the new swallowing ability, but I think he lost his D6 damage Maw attack.
-
Me too. The Doombull’s ability is the same as shown on stream, which means it too is worse than before because it has had its synergy removed. Arguably the Ghorgon’s rule is better now because it does D3 MW on a 6. But then again it’s a unmodified 6, rather than the 5+ it used to be. In all this really feels like Warherds have lost a lot of power, since they have lost the synergy they had, and don’t benefit as much as they could have done from the 3 other new save modifiers the army has. I mean who cares about mortal wounds when you’re rocking Rend -3 and -2 to save rolls?!
-
Yes generic Chaos as I only have 1K of Warherds. I fill the rest with Khorne. Their job it to screen units, tie things up, and do other useless things like grab objectives. But its all a distraction from the real objective which is to plow my giant cows into combat and chop the enemy to pieces! In all seriousness, I take the Artifact on one Doombull, my general is another, and the other buffs come from spell casters (CSL and a Bray Shaman). So it is all fairly spread around. I can make a super crazy Doombull, or pile the buffs onto another unit and leave the Doombull alone since the artefact is damn good by itself. So far getting the extra attacks more reliably (+ to wound stacking) seems better than having extra damage per hit, but I haven't found a mathhammer site/app that can reliably calculate if that is really true. In any case the CSL's re-roll ability is the best thing out there for Warherd units, since every hit counts, and potentially counts double!
-
Don't. Go with Ghyrstrike from Ghyran. It is +1 to hit AND +1 to wound. Its from Aqshy, but yes it is very good. Aqshy also has a spell which add 1 to damage from all melee weapons for a unit until your next hero phase. If I play in Aqhsy ill try to get off both spells plus the Chaos Sorcerer Lord's spell onto my Doombull with Ghyrstrike. Then im hitting on 2s, re-rolling 1s, wounding on 2s, re-rolling 1s, with exploding 3s and damage 4! Or I could put the buff on a Ghorgon, who could potentially get up to 54 damage in a turn (40 from 10 blade attacks, and 2D6+2 from bites)!
-
Looks great! I’m interested in doing a similar Doombull conversation myself. Was it difficult? Did the head require a lot of green stuff?
