With the potential mortal wound output,the 10 evo on foot they outperform the ones on dracoline imo despite the slower movement

The battallion wont help with that. Better placement is your best tool. Also if you can bring rerolls for your own units it will help as a reroll cannot be rerolled Hard to ignore combat with Slaanesh, after all you need Depravity points to summon and you really get those with your heroes in combat taking and dealing damage

I agree on the Evocator charges, it s not the surecharge guarantee tm of the hammers of sigmar so there is a high risk there. It gets somewhat mitigated by doubling up on the evo units. Cogs may be the only option for that host but with the downside of giving speed to my opponent also, I am not sold. With the pandemic really bad where I live, I have not tested the list yet but, I am painting them to play some games hopefully soon

With the ghb changes, I am too interested in playing Vanguards. The ability to teleport our hunters battleline units on objective is strong in certain scenarios. They won t kill anything so if an enemy unit need to be deleted first, we ll need some units capable of that which I think the Vanguard chamber lack so I m adding some much needed punch with the two 10 Evocator units The aquilor is cp hungry so I ll be trying tempest lord for the list The raptors are there for the aethewing to potentially block a key enemy charge only so the cheapest version will do just fine and 27 shots could actually do a few wounds here and there The list is built around the movement phase (Aquilor ability to teleport vanguard units, retreat and charge from heraldor, teleport and reroll charges from vexilor, aetherwing move before ennemy charges) Stormhost: Tempest lords Leaders Lord-Aquilor (170) - General - Command Trait: Divine Executioner - Artefact: Patricians Helm - Mount Trait: Lithe limbed(+1 move) Knight Heraldor(100pts) Knight-Incantor (120pts) Azyrite Halo Knight-Vexilor (110pts) Battleline 5 x Vanguard-Hunters (100) - Boltstorm Pistols and Shock Handaxes 5 x Vanguard-Hunters (100) - Boltstorm Pistols and Shock Handaxes 5 x Vanguard-Hunters (100) - Boltstorm Pistols and Shock Handaxes 5 x Judicators (140) Units 10 x Evocators (420) Celestial blades 10 x Evocators (420) Speed of lightning 3 x Aetherwings (40) 3 x Aetherwings (40) 3 x Vanguard-Raptors with Hurricane Crossbows (140) Endless Spells / Terrain / CPs Total: 2000/ 2000 Extra Command Points: 0 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 140

Correct, You don t have to take it and you probably shouldn't in my opinion

It is a minimum and a maximum of 1 hero for pretenders in the sybarite battallion yes. Pretenders lets you build the killiest keeper of all with the sliverslash artifact for 4 claw attacks twice for 1 cp. Godseeker is arguably still the best host in our arsenal as the changes have just pushed everything down but nothing sideways

I think you have a good selection of models and no other is a must. In the future, maybe another keeper, I ve also recently added a Daemon prince to my list and it does really well especially as gw nerfed our locus, this guy has always strike first on its warscroll. How I wish our seekers were battleline! If you play them maybe get some regular chariots too for the battalion that lets you pile in 6" with them and the seekers? Regarding the hero battallion in pretender the 3-6 requirement is replaced by 1, so it s pretty bad in that host. I used to take it for the extra CP and access to a second artifacts but its 30pts increase means I no longer will in pretenders. It is still a stapple battlelion in the other two hosts however despite its hight cost

Yes, it was clarified on page 5 in the Core rule designer commentary pdf as it is not a normal move, it does not restrict you to finish more than 3" away from the enemy

You can move them within 3" of an enemy and therefore prevent them to make a charge. It can win you games

Just like other battletomes, we have access to better battleline units. Hellstriders are better. If you take Slaanesh marked units from slaves to darkness. Marauders is you best battleline in Chaos and you can have them as battleline in our faction

I was thinking you could make a cool Sylvaneth army from chamon with those new necrons

I think it s a strong shooty list, you ll struggle in the scenarios requiring battlelines, heroes for extra vp. But if you kill the ennemy first it doesn t matter. I would personnally get rid of the palissade in order to try to get a triumph instead

The Big difference is they invalidate content from white dwarf within a year and campaign books have two years?( See what happened to Malign sorcery) I ll reiterate, they are not match play legal because they are not listed. Simple as that

No sarcasm here. People with other factions are asking similar questions. I cannot tell you that battallions are units although they are made of units. But the chaos ascendent battlallions from the wrath of the everchosen are in the document and the white dwarf battallions are not and for that, I believe the Sylleske host is no longer match play legal unless they errata that

That s in the 2020 pitch battle profile.

Unless they make it legal in a ghb errata, it s no longer match play legal as the warscroll battallions aren t in the pitched battle profile 2020

So the ghb is out and lrl is not a listed ally for our deepkin. Will there be an errata? Who knows

I don t buy the pamphlet explanation gw gave in 2019 but that is my opinion. What it gives them is the ability to print the points after the ghb is sent to print but it looks like they forget deadlines and let it go to print with preliminary points changes that are now irrelevant or non sense.The Soulfeaster going up 10 point had me floored. What were they thinking? I am excited for the hero building from the ghb. I have no idea if my local community will allow it in our tournaments but we ll see

If they print a separate pamphlet but don t take adavntage of the fact that it can be updated and printed at a later date than the ghb what s the point?

They printed the points in a separate pamphlet with the 2019 ghb to reflect closer state of the game, Why change the approach for the ghb 2020? This whole thing looks like a farce

Deamonettes lost their horde discount, hellstriders are up 10pts battallions are up Supreme sybarites up 30 Seeker cavalcade up 10

LRL can ally with Idoneth Deepkin. How do we know if there is reciprocity? Especially when the lore and alliance chart for multiplayer in the ghb indicate otherwise?

And the last winter faq made it even more so. Increasing summoning points and having a locus on 5+ to any hero not a keeper means it s all 3 keeper lists now

Petrifex Elite subfaction is above any other obr subfaction. The stats don t lie. It is the same issue as Hagg Nar in Dok. GW gave both the defensive and offensive buff to the same subfaction. From a power creep the sky is falling perspective, I don t think Petrifex is that but it can indeed be unfun to play against in pick up games. My first experience facing Nagash in petrifex a while back was really negative and it s a shame as I was facing a new player and felt quite frustrated as he would not explain his rules and played the gotcha game having no experience with the community. Not his fault, I tried to explain to him that this community expects more in games that win at all cost and I look forward when we open back up that we can play again as I m sure he s changed his mindset. After the fact, I feel Petrifex Nagash can be dealt with but only a few things in the game can actually kill him when I never had problem killing regular Nagash. I ve learnt my lesson and will 100% ignore him next time I see him on the board in Petrifex

I usually would rush buy things I think I need that I really don t in the week before the price increase take effect but quarantine, loss in wages made me realize how much I still have new in box and my spendable income has shrunk to a point where I won t be spending on hobby for at least the next 6 months I am also expecting gw to announce yearly increase around june, but I ve been surprised before when they did some unannounced increase as well. I get they don t have to tell us but in my mind they ve always have and I m glad they still are. Now if they pick and choose to announce some and not some others, it looks more like a marketing move to push sales without discounting. I guess it normally worked with me but this year it s different
