I am very excited to see the Overlords get an update. Timing is perfect too for me to jump back in after Las Vegas Open is in the rear view mirror. With a full collection already the units in the box will be nice to grow a few units without getting anything too wasteful. After a year of enjoying the army in narrative games only, and sitting through the horrible change to thunderers, I'm just hoping that the boats get better. I would much rather see the frigates and ironclad get buffs/opposing penaltys like terrain pieces have rather then adding another piece of plastic to the field.

I was hoping to see movement for Kharadron but it looks like GW thinks they are just fine...🤐

Its a pretty extensive editing error, throughout the book...

So Malerion is a Chaos God? who saw that? So new Chaos Aelves incoming!

I always get nervous about across the board point reductions since every faction is leveled for all other factions at the time of release. If something like this occurred it would have to resonate across all other factions too. That would be bigger than anything GW has done to date short of the original AoS GHB that established all the points to begin with.

I know that one drop is very appealing. I have not found the Stampede or Squigalanche to be very reliable or effective. Stampede is sill too random and the 6" pile in is very situational and dependent on the moon. Since you are not running Skragrott the moon abilities will often disappoint and can't be counted on to be there when you need them. I'd consider taking a Fungoid Cave Shaman with the Arachnacauldron and possibly a Balewind Vortex. Squig Lure and Hand of Gork are far more reliable than the Battalions for managing movement and he can get you an occasional additional command point to give you more opportunities to max you run at 6".

A vocal few. I win plenty with my KO. I really just want endless spells for them. Though I could easily see dispossessed getting folded in to give them line troops too. They don’t have a way to weather blobs and that hurts. Let them shoot from their boats just like the novels, that would be a game changer too.

One for 4.65 sounds about right.

I like the Tectonic Studios movement trays. They have linear, skirmish and pile in movement trays. I use the skirmish regularly and have been eying some 10 unit pile in trays for the stabbas.

Personally I don’t think they are very good when compared to other factions. I only ever take one with Arcane Corrasion to snipe characters.

They also had the need to sit in tight ranks for WFB...

Akhelian Corp is great, really the only one I ever play. Fuethan + High tide, + Allopex + Supreme Lord of Tides makes Allopex look too cheap. You also need to commit to using them, one alone is meh.

Volturnus warlord Tidecaster + balewind vortex + steelshell pearl (arcane corrasion) soulscryer 10 Thralls 10 Thralls 10 Reavers 3 Morrsarr 3 Ishlaen 2 Allopex Leviadon Akhelian Corp Lots of flexibility, lots of killing power, lots of shooting, lots of mobility, cover around the Leviadon, that reroll in the Corp, just solid. This is my go to when I have no clue what missions I will be playing or we are playing with the open play deck. I’ve also found that my opponents have a lot of fun most games as well and that makes the game more fun for me. My all eel list with the Eidolon gets lots of frowny faces ☹️.

I use two Allopex and am considering a third. I always feel that the people that say they are not good have never played with one. I particularly enjoy using them to outflank with a soulscryer and Reavers. That squad has assasinated a large number of heroes using the almost auto charge rolls, my biggest kill to date is a charge kill on Arkan the Black. The one reroll a phase you can get on the Leviadon with the Akhalian Corp is also quite great, and requires an Allopex.

I have been playing Fuethan with the Akhelian Corp, Volturnos and an Aspect of the Sea. Love me some sea turtle Dune style. Plus I really enjoy the Allopex. If I’ve got room for the Soul Scryer, outflanking them is always my strategy. I’ve killed Arkhan, Brokk, Blood thirsters and more on the charge from the flank with two Allopex’.

I have, exactly one time, taken out Morathi on Turn 2 with Arcane corrosion and no transformation. While she’s a beast I find the Melusai build with the movement shenanigans and the mortal wound ridiculousness far more difficult to deal with. I’m still surprised we don’t see that build win every tournament. Thank god for objective based scenarios.

I’m about a dozen games in now and getting better at playing ID. It’s all about high tide. Now that many of my opponents have figured that out it’s getting significantly harder to keep winning. I imagine that’s part of the 8th spot.

I’m playing my final club game this weekend. 2500pts.my army is an almost complete collection of Deepkin: Aspect of Sea Volturnus Tidecaster Lotann 2x 10 man squad of Thralls Ishlaen Guard Morsarr Guard Leviadon Allopex x2 Reavers Akhelian Corp Nnot sure what to spend my last 100 points. I’m thinking Cogs or Voryex for the Tidecaster. Thoughts?

What are you using for your HQ? I am finding myself taking Brokk is just about every game now.

Free People allies would fit the niche. Don’t really need a SCE specific unit.

And a Death player completely oblivious to what’s coming... most people playing Nagash are taking max units of skeletons, chainwraiths or zombies. The footprint is huge. Even with an 18” range it’s difficult to get anything of quantity in range.

The allegiances are missing Stormcast. Maybe that will be changed when the new Stormcast battletome becomes available?

I’ve never had success playing minimum unit size battlelne units. I see lots of people playing them. I’ve only really had success with maxed units, my flavor of choice being zombies. How do you succeed with dire wolves of min size?

Yea I’ve never used ambush with the intent to charge and kill a unit. I place vargheists in ambush with the express intent to force my opponent to shift and intercept them. The 9” ambush charge is a red herring as you mentioned since it’s unreliable. But the Vargheists 12” move a turn later always does the trick. I miss them being battleline for soulblight.
