Hi,
I have started painting my Khorne models (I bought the AoS starter box back in 2015 when it first came out) and am thinking about starting them in a PtG campaign. Little bit of narrative, some fluff, more time to add new units (and paint them up), seeing the army evolve and grow,...
But I am struggling a bit about what my initial 600pt list should be. (I will be playing a "Skullfiend Tribe" subfaction army)
1) Exalted Deathbringer, Bloodsecrator, 10 Bloodreavers, 5 Skullreapers and 1 Khorgorath = 595pt (only need to buy the Skullreapers)
Cool factor is great with the added Skullreapers but is low on miniature count and is an all-infantry army (hence slow moving)
2) Exalted Deathbringer, Bloodsecrator, 20 Bloodreavers, 1 Khorgorath and 5 Flesh Hounds = 585pt (only need to but the Flesh Hounds)
High on miniature count and includes some cavalry but perhaps not maneuverable with the large unit of 20 Bloodreavers (but has staying power)
3) Exalted Deathbringer, Bloodsecrator, 10 Bloodreavers, 10 Bloodreavers, 1 Khorgorath and 5 Flesh Hounds = 585pt (only need to buy the Flesh Hounds)
Same as list 2 but Bloodreavers in 2 units of 10... More maneuvrable but also less staying power.
4) and 5) are the same as 2) and 3) but instead of the Flesh Hounds another Khorograth = 590pt. (only need a 2nd Khorgorath)
More punch but lose the cavalry speed.
So each has its pros and cons... but which is the best starting point for a PtG campaign according to you? (I want to plan what I should buy next and what I should paint next 😉 )
I'm leaning towards number 3 if you should ask 😉
I have so far only playing 1 AoS 3.0 battle so am very new to the system (I have played lots of WFB battle games long, long ago...)
Thanks for the feedback
