I participated at a 26-man tournament in Paris this sunday, where i finished 3rd with a Slaughterborn list. Is anyone interested by a quick rundown ?

Yes.

@Bjornas I know you didn't ask me but, I think that concept is "a lot of eggs in one basket". It sounds like it could be great depending on your opponent and the objectives, but from a general standpoint, you're depending on that group doing a lot.

I wish more people would stream their matches so I can watch things play out and see positioning and attack order.

I would love to see a list from you, that you have had success with so that I can see where I may have gone wrong.

Ditto. Love to learn.

I need to figure out the best list for my 100 painted bloodreavers. Kinda like breaking it into 20 man blobs with stokers, shrine and a couple of bloodsecrators. 

Good god you have some serious patience

My plan was to go left and take center. He deployed right so I thought he would take far right and middle. He decided to go left as well  

Man that board looks great

Enjoy it till it gets errata'd. Basically op like shootcast

[AoS 2 - Blades of Khorne Discussion]

sound like crushers could be the hammer AND the anvil

mmmm. I personally would be pretty scared to toss her in against a blog that she couldn't kill outright on a charge. The retaliation would be bad for her.

why is valkia "better" all of a sudden now?

Basically easier to buff with wholly within clause.

as opposed to running in squads of 5?

[AoS 2 - Blades of Khorne Discussion]

whats the benefit now to running in groups of 10?

Soaking of bloodthirsters, I noticed a strange quirk yesterday.

There are four bloodthirsters, including Skarbrand. Three are on one base and the other is on a different one, according to the official base chart.

Now, I know it doesn't really matter, but as some events are requiring bases match the chart, I am concerned about how to base my bloodthirsters. Personally, I prefer all models in all my AoS armies be on rounds, not ovals, so that's how I would like to see things go, but if the chart gets updated to make all four on ovals, I'd be hosed.

Any thoughts on which way the list is likely to be updated once GW catches this inconsistency?

 

(And yes, I know Skarbrand is a named character, but IS still a bloodthirster, so it makes zero sense to have him be different.)

"sense" is so subjective....

[AoS 2 - Blades of Khorne Discussion]

I think the big thing missing there is rend.

What is that? A battalion? 

No its just a thematic. A bunch of reavers running around skarbrand :S. They have their own color scheme and everything. 

[AoS 2 - Blades of Khorne Discussion]

You could run AXES OF SKARBRAND

[AoS 2 - Blades of Khorne Discussion]

We're basically beyond being mad to the laughing acceptance of all this.

I do think it's absolutely hilarious that my current army sketches either focus on Khorne Magic axes and logo's or some Khorne shooting.

you KNOW that skull cannon thing is going to get FAQd for sure

 

[AoS 2 - Blades of Khorne Discussion]

seems like buffing skarbrand with bronzed flesh will make him pretty amazeballs now with all thats changed.

 

Daemons are more kill but fragile, so if  you want an anvil seems like you HAVE to go mortals and support them with demon hammers and cannons. Does that sound crazy?

[AoS 2 - Blades of Khorne Discussion]

just run 5 slaughter priests and go to town

[AoS 2 - Blades of Khorne Discussion]

You have to be at least 8.

 

[AoS 2 - Blades of Khorne Discussion]

can you bring more than one skull altar ??

I've also seen that our Juggernaut Lord doing a lot of damage when given Gorecleaver still exists.

Daemonic Axe says that on an unmodified wound roll of 6, the Damage characteristic for that attack is 3 instead of D3.

Gorecleaver now says that an attack made with that weapon is an unmodified wound roll of 6, double the Damage characteristic for that attack. It keeps the Rend improvement by 1.

So since we're the active player when this occurs, we can have the Damage characteristic set to 3 first, and then get doubled by Gorecleaver. So that's a massive 6 damage at -2 Rend on a 6 to wound. 7 if he's from Goretide.

That's disgustingly good and I can't wait to field him.

Seems like everything here has us betting on rolling 6's all day.
