Interesting will there also be Man-things who worship the great horned rat, in your army?
If only there was a Horned Rat keyword!

You're starting a StD army?
any god in mind?
It's a mix of all of them and none. Except for Slaanesh. Lord on Manticore with mark of Nurgle. Lord on mount with mark of Tzeentch. Was tempted to put the Mark of the All-Favoured artefact on my Sorcerer, just so I could have a wizard with the Khorne keyword...

Can I get some vs Nighthaunt suggestions pweez
Give your Evocators grandstaves.
If they are running lots of chainrasp hordes, maybe decimators finally have a place.
And it's hard to go wrong with 20 staunch/warded/haloed Sequitors!
Or - if they're going bravery bomb how about Skyborne Slayers? Laugh as you just ignore battleshock entirely. And it has the aformentioned Decimators in it!

Hey guys I just noticed something strange in the Sequitors multiplart kit.
There are 4 swords that have a different desing from the ones that you can see on the box, as they seem bigger that the standard ones I tought that maybe they where supposed to be the special version of the swords (just like the greatmaces are the special version of the maces) and they are in the same number as the greatmaces.
Has GW ever aknowledged this? Could this be "fixed" in the next GHB?
Are they just the Prime's fancier swords? Are there 2 with male arms and 2 female?

Nothing exciting - reroll next failed hit/wound/save.
Wouldn't mind, but it was the last combat in turn 5 anyway!

Agreed. Tonight was my 7th or 8th game with slaves, and the first time I've actually gotten to roll on it.
At least I didn't get turned into a spawn!

True the aura effects aren't all bad however a 6" range is pretty limiting and the khorne buff especially is pretty useless for a lot of units, especially if you bring a warshrine.
I was mostly referring to the eye of the gods allegiance ability which is highly situational with mild to weak benefits even when it does go off.
And yes, the artifacts are all fairly average to poor.
Auras all have a range of "sacred number" now, 6" was the last ghb.
Mark of khorne does allow you to save your warshrine for a different unit, same with mark of nurgle.

And it did great. Albeit just in a 14 person tournament.
There's a lot this list can do. However I think I'll tweak it to include some skink screens and objective holders.
If curious ppl should be able to check the tournament here including the lists I met:

Edit / I note two of my opponents lists weren't uploaded to site.
First opponent was:
10 bks
gutrot
30 pbs
Guo
Rotigus
Etc
3rd was:
Cleansing phalanx
20 sequitors
2*5 evocators
Ballista
Gavriel sureheart
Etc
Congrats!
Oddly enough I was also at a 14 player tournament today and managed to get the win with my stardrake list.

I'd keep him just for Azyrite Halo on the space dragon!
But also an auto unbind at a key moment can swing a game.-

Wounds there are not many of no
Reason for shielded by faith is just an attempt to make the SD very scary even to mortal wound armies but I dunno. Staunch Defender is possibly still worth it.
I haven't played SC since new tome (been playing with Nurgle) and haven't got any new models. Trying to see what I can do with old stuff.
I think Staunch will save you a lot more wounds over the course of the tournament than the extra mortals save.
But now I've written that you'll probably just face mortalspam lists all the way!
EDIT - I'd also agree with dropping the comet for a Heraldor. He still has the mortal wound output, plus you can keep your Fulminators charging.

That's not a lot of wounds!
Is there a reason I'm not seeing that you've gone for Shielded by Faith instead of Staunch? Seeing as he already has a 4+ vs Mortals from Ignax's scales.

NO DAEMONS!!!

Bonjour
For 2019, my new years resolution is to do a "bad guy" army, and see it through to a finished painted 2000 points. It's not going to be a finely honed tournament list, I have my SCE for that, but I'd like it to be fun to play. It has a definite NO DAEMONS theme!
I've always had a soft spot for non god specific chaos doods, so the battleforce grabbed my attention as a great value buy. I also love the look of gorebeast chariots so I managed to find a Harbingers of Ruin box as well. It's not going to be a finely honed tournament list, I have my SCE for that, but I'd like it to be fun to play. With some conversions planned, I have 1800 points so far.

Questions!
Unsure what to get for the last 200 points. I really like the look of the BoC Ghorgon, Slaughterpriests, Marauder Horsemen, or just a fat block of 40 Marauders... Open to any other suggestions, the only stipulation is no Daemons.
Thoughts?Is it worth taking the Battalion? I'm mainly thinking of drop reduction and the extra cp/artefact.
What are the preferred marks of chaos to go for? The only one I'm firm on is Tzeentch on the Lord on Mount for the rerolling non rendable 4+, but the others I'm undecided on. Is it best to go mono mark? or give heroes and units different marks dependant on their role?
Hand weapon and shield on the knights? Or great weapon? And unit sizes? 1x10 & 1x5? or 1x15? or 3x5?
And the chariots? 1 big unit to maximize command point use?
That's all for now, I'll probably think of some more soon!

As a new player, what other support heroes are useful for a Sacrosanct list? I grabbed a Castellant already.
Heraldor will give your Evocators a greater threat range.
Vexxilor is good for redeployment.
Relictor also good for redeployment with Translocation, plus he can heal or debuff.
-
+1 for flying over what you want to shoot with a Tauralon.

Potential big damage exchange. If you have a wound on you + halo + castellant lantern a 6 sv roll heals you and does a mortal back at the attacking unit. Also, one way to combat SCE’s good and often rerollable saves is to drown them in wounds so you’re bound to fail some (tho this is less effective than MWs) so in a lot of cases you’ll be making tons of save rolls for many potential 6s.
EDIT: I actually prefer celestial blades but I always seem to forget the abilities that trigger on 6s to save.
This basically. Stick it on a really resilient unit you expect to make a bucketload of saves. Sequitors are good for this, as is LCoSD. Anything with a reroll really for max effect (hence Talisman of the Watcher in the above list, so you can make the Evocators 2+ rerolling 1's).

Very helpful, thank you!
I’m trying to stick to a themed list around Vanguard, so I want to use those elements of the book. I.e I don’t want to drop one of the very characterful models from that sub faction and replace it with something from Sacrosanct which is strictly better on paper.
So thanks again! I will of course be trying to think up some other tricksy uses for this character.
I used the Blade of Symmetry on the Zephyros in my Vanguard army, just making her a straight 2 damage vs everything. Not quite as good as Naeve vs hero's, but almost twice as good vs everything else.

What would some of those be? I keep trying to make 2 ballistas and protection work, but then I want a 20 block of sequitors, which means an aquilor, other supporting cahracters, and evos, and that brings me close to 2k haha.
How about 4 ballista's + all those things?

You could swap out the Heraldor for an Azyros if you wanted to make your Ballista's even shootier.

or i can drop on disc and libs, doing 3x5 to add a second incantor. what do u think? too much magic?
Depends what you're fighting. Dais gives you a second unbind + 2+ armour + flying, so it's pretty good on an incantor.
10 libs should be able to lock down an objective more securely.
