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

Personally this is what I would like to see for Stormcast in GHB19:
It's mostly point cost reductions, but that's because many of our units are really underperforming and battalions are massively overpriced for the units they need and the bonuses they provide.
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.

so ive got 2 halves of Looncurse, trying to plan what to buy next. what do you think of this list?
Allegiance: Gloomspite Gitz
Leaders
Loonboss on Mangler Squigs (300)
- General
- Trait: Fight Another Day
- Artefact: The Clammy cowl
Loonboss on Giant Cave Squig (110)
- Moon-cutta
Loonboss on Giant Cave Squig (110)
- Moonclan Stabba
Battleline
5 x Squig Hoppers (90)
5 x Squig Hoppers (90)
5 x Squig Hoppers (90)
Units
10 x Boingrot Bounderz (200)
10 x Boingrot Bounderz (200)
10 x Boingrot Bounderz (200)
Behemoths
Mangler Squigs (240)
Battalions
Squig Rider Stampede (140)
Squig Rider Stampede (140)
Squigalanche (90)
Total: 2000 / 2000
Extra Command Points: 3
Allies: 0 / 400
Wounds: 126
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".

So many or just a vocal few, frequency of outcry doesnt directly correlate with number of players it could well just be the same players repeating themselves.
The Bonesplittas concept seem like they'd benefit from their own tome still, I'd had to homogenise all of the Orruks into a single tome as it'd likely water down either the Jawz or the Splittas unique elements (might is right, or mysticism etc)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.

I've just looked them up but can't seem to find out how many trays you get for your money. For example I put in 5 slot staggered 25mm and it says $4.65, but how many trays do I get for $4.65 - 10, 5, 1? If they're that expensive I may just end up making my own.
One for 4.65 sounds about right.

Also, anyone have any suggestions for either direct products or suggested spacing for movement trays for our monsterous 60 model stabba units? Finally got to play my first game in our escalation league and decided somehow that 1 60 model unit was WAY worse than 2x30 model units or 3x20 model units I had in 40k.
I was thinking of looking for something in the 5 per tray, and in between base to base contact and max spread. (trying to balance board coverage but still get good pile in numbers when it's Go time.)
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.

So how do people feel about two tide casters in an eel list? Don't wanna commit to an aspect, but I still want some magic thrown around. Plus, which magic spells are the best?
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.

The old spider rider kits have 4 legs forward and 4 legs back as if it was running like a dog!
They also had the need to sit in tight ranks for WFB...

I don't think it's that they're not good. I think they're not worth it. You're almost always better going for eels point for point. The typical response would be to make the eels cost more. BOO. I think the aloplex should be tweaked instead. Maybe toss a rend on those shooting attacks. That way, the major melee units don't canabalize each other and instead, alloplexes can serve a different function.
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.

Interesting, can you share your list here?
Alot of times its about using units the right way and not just stare at the warscroll...now i am even more torn than before 😂 but i will own 2x so i will for sure try them out eventually!
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 ☹️.

Thanks for the tip!
I have watched some battle reports and it helps alot!
Anyone else? Any tip on how to build a 1k list from the battle force box? Or should i skip it if the sharks are rather bad?
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.

What enclave are people running nowadays? Ionrach still seems the best from what I can tell.
Im just starting out, bought my first Soulrender, and am keen to get painting. In my mind I like the idea of numerous Thralls and regening them all and certainly think it will be competitive and fun enough in my local scene but probably not if I go further afield?
i ask cos i want to paint them accurately- I know I can just say they are such and such but OCD kicking in an all that...
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’.

The biggest problem with competitive Deepkin is how badly they match-up against Daughters of Khaine , as I play DoK myslef the easiest games were against Deepkin as they can't handle combination of immune to battleshock and high number of attacks, as Deepkins have almost no tools to deal with Morathi in small form and Hag Queens. With hardly any shooting and quite weak offensive magic it's an uphill battle from the start.
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.

Idoneth placed 8th at the GT over the weekend. Not sure yet of the list, but congrats and that’s a good sign!
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.

Well yea I don't mean hordes! But a step below liberator or something.
Free People allies would fit the niche. Don’t really need a SCE specific unit.

Yeah, I suppose you would need to define "buffed". A soulstrike brotherhood that goes all in on Castigators could also drop down turn 1 and delete him, but idk what battalion/synergy tricks he has up his sleeves (can he shrug off wounds to nearby Morghasts?). It's possible, but would require some luck.
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.

Just a quick update- app is fixed as far as the Reavers stat lines on apple products. Points are still wrong in Azyr.
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.
AoS 2 - Kharadron Overlords Discussion
in Order
Posted
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.
