  1. Hmmm I don't see a FAQ for StD from Dec 2019. I thought they were under (generic) Chaos Daemons. I still don't see where the updated points are
  2. Where are the points for SGs? I own 2 and have been thinking of finishing painting them.
  3. A lot of those units work better in Cities of Sigmar now. Have you picked up the Battletome?
  4. I think GW could drop the price of Fiends, make them BL if Shalaxi is your general and at least it presents a fluffy avenue to explore them. Not saying anything about that from a tournament option just fluff. I think the battalions are bringing STD units into HoS. Wahoo, I have two custom built Soul Grinders that I’ve wanted to try again.
  5. I’m not sold on that. Same shots as SotW but rend and sotw get better with ambush and the NP. Weight of fire can make up for rend.
  6. woah, chill a bit. First off, you have not read the rules. So not sure what rules you are quoted as having been written. We have a guy reading stuff on youtube. Also RAI and RAW are dumb terms people use to bend rules. they are the same thing. The designer intended for the rule to be written as they did. hahaha.
  7. Ooh nice. LInks? Some of us don't go to youtube for reviews What is the battalion called? I was looking at the rules yesterday and because our previous battalion specifies units I think you can ignore the keyword at the top.
  8. What are people's thoughts on more than 30-40 Raiders? I'm toying with converting my Glade Guard to Raiders with Ungor lower halves and running 60-90. I feel 2 x 30 isn't a bad idea. Might get some Mileage out of them when Kurnothi Aelves come out as well.
  9. Someone gave me the last Blades of KHorne book after the new one came out. Is there much a difference in the rules? I'm looking specifically at the rules being a Beasts öf Chaos player. So using the BoC warband, likely all Beasts units (depending) and mostly the way Khorne has bloodtithe etc. I have the app so I have updated warscrolls adn GHB 2019 so I have points. Thanks kindly.
  10. They are my heavy lifts. a few turns a game they really pull their weight. The other turns dice spiking makes them a tragedy. I've been thinking shooting in nearly all armies is more worth it given Slaanesh and FEC. IMO you can't do wrong adding Raiders. Even 30+ is still quite good. I've had fun with them but they won't be winning tournaments. If your aim is enjoy bloody bulls they'll do you right. I wanted to ask if anyone knew if there was a big difference between the last two Blades of Khorne book? Someone gave me their old copy to read but after reading the rules,.. have they changed much? Thanks kindly
  11. Did anyone watch/listen to the Faction Focus? I was confused how with Harvestboon, Durthu got 8 attacks. 3 +2 (forest), +1 (artifact) +1 (command trait) + something that I didn't catch (sounded like command ish something-er-other?) Thanks,
  12. Me too. I have one exalted and two Hellflayers built with Juan Diaz models and I regret making the Hellflayers (decision long ago). 2 Bladebringer Exalted would be a lot of fun.
  13. Anything is playable. It's a game with toy soldiers. If you aren't playing a tournament that disallows older warscrolls no matter how annoying the naysayers here are, you can use your models in your games. A local guy has been playing his TK since AoS dropped. Just get over the negativity. Nothing is stopping people from using older points and warscroll values. Again, GW isn't coming to your house and taking your models away. I'm getting some Ungors and will convert some of mine to look like those Kournothi aelves and also spam Ungor Raiders Not really. I sometimes use Lacillion's Wanton Horde. Just a game ppl. ❤️ 6th ed 8th ed was GG and Wildrider spam.
  14. The MW bonus of Swords made them more on par but Reach and Rend are still too valuable of stats/abilities to ignore. I *may* run Swords once in a while but I would always choose 6-Scythes first.
  15. They are 14 year old models vs ones that are 6 years old. That's significant for aesthetic. What are the parts of that Glade Girl? Juan Diaz Daemonette? On the plus side i'm getting my buddies Beasts of Chaos army he's giving away and converting my GG with some Ungors.
  16. While I applaud the idea of a separate thread I don't think it will be as good as traction as within the BoC thread. My thoughts are 3 x 10 Bestigors aren't taking advantage of their thread being super wide, you don't have a Shaman or Cogs to propel them faster into CC and there is no Flaming bull for them to go first. I quite like the battalion but I feel it works better with Warherd and Ghorgons can be surprisingly effective with re-rolling 1s. Best of luck
  17. Mmmm yeah totally forgot about him. thanks RR1s is a very underrated ability.
  18. No. Just a release of an old trilogy.
  19. No because it is a Wanderers allegiance ability not a Cities of Sigmar ability. Two different things. Reading too much into it. The book is due for a reprint if you have been paying attention to other Black Library old-world releases.
  20. I hope people aren't confusing the Orion trilogy re-release with a Wanderer rumour 1994 4th Ed WE, 2005 6th ed WE, 2014 8th ed WE,.. well it has been two editions of a game system but it hasn't been the requisite 9-11 years to rerelease Wood Elves 😉
  21. I think Monsters are great, I love the degrading profile. I wish GW would stop making things "non-degrading" as well,. it isn't fixing issues. Hello Jabberslythe,... not a fix. I hope Str vs. T doesn't return. 40k while it is a better game now isn't as good as AoS.
  22. I think the Greenskinz argument pretty much nullifies this counter argument. No one who plays Wanderers is taking 3 units of GG. Sisters of the Watch are far better and BL with a Waywatcher hero which everyone has at least 1-3 of. I'm not saying it will happen at this release but don't go buy 90. Also my next game of AoS will have a large unit of Wardancers as a generic Order army. I don't get hung up on needing to only play bleeding edge matched play. I have models I really love that I use that I have found a use for in my army (hint, Shield of Thorn and +2 to save). Just because something is moved to Index doesn't mean it isn't playable. I played Tomb Kings 2 weeks ago. People have to stop letting tournament lists dictate their gaming. There are a lot of ancillary bonuses to be had with realm items and spells. It is a good chance to bring up older Warscrolls in line with modern ones. For example the Wanderer Waystrider has a command ability where you roll a D6, and on a 6 a friendly Wanderer unit can pile in and attack again. That would be an ideal candidate to have as just pile in and attack again instead of only on a 6. Addressing sold older warscrolls in this manner would do a lot for players of older armies without updating a slew of armies to Battletomes.
  23. They aren't a good unit in the game, and the models while classic in a sense and were quite fantastic 14 years ago have aged out along the aesthetic of the end-of-8th-elves. But I don't think they will be culled until something is done with the newer kits, EG, SotW, etc. No they are not. Sisters of the Watch hold objectives better, EG castle well, Rangers fight. Glade Guard are only good if you have 30 and for being a bit ugly board control "elite horde" that has dismal dmg output. They are in no way essential. GW did a poor job in bringing Alves from 8th ed to AoS. Your elite army became horde that lacked synergy. Granted TK are in GHB 2019. So... shrugs. Bestigors have been no longer available twice and they are now a staple in 90% of BoC and Slaanesh armies. When this happens people freak out then they become regular stock again and people move on I hope they get merged with Wanderers.
