Hey Legends,
Long time fantasy player but haven't been around the hobby since just before fantasy was nuked.
With the announcement of the old world coming back in the next 4 years I want to give AOS a chance.
Are there any clubs, gaming group etc around Brisbane?
Also does anyone know what happened to Wargamerau and is there a replacement?
Cheers
Gus

Had a discussion last night with some mates about Seraphon and what our go-to hero is or would be. What is your favourite hero and why?

Hi All!
I've played a LOT of OBR lately and I've noted most people tend to either really like OBR or really don't. It's interesting to hear peoples reasoning behind their opinions but also educational.
What do you like most about OBR and why?
What do you dislike the most about OBR and why? -
In case anyone wants a laugh. Tried this over the weekend with more success than I would have though.
Important to note:
- This is also still great with Petrifex as you can add some additional rend in there which can prove really strong paired with Endless Duty.
- You can also sub out the Harvesters for Arkhan plus Shrieker spell if you want to make it easier for your arty to hit and prefer guaranteed regen on your b-line.
- Down side is 3 Crawlers are a considerable monetary investment and there are more well rounded lists out there that are perhaps not as funny but more competitive.
- Don't expect board control with this slow-ass army. But with range of 36" on those bad boys, expect them to come to you!
- 3+1D3 RD points plus 10 chances on the D6.
- Not handy in scenarios requiring lots of heroes, but not the end of the world if your sniping your opponents 5 wound heroes turn 1 anyway

I have found the boneshaper to be extremely lackluster every time ive used him for the 10 games. I was worried about RDP and while the rend ability is extremely handy I only use it here and there. The main ability I use basically every turn is Nagash's and the Mortek Guard's. But yeah this is the main issue I was concerned about, but wanted to trial it and see if it is extremely detrimental.
On average I should generate 4 (1 Nagash, 1 for 6 die rolls, and 2 from Nagash's spell) so we'll see how it goes. If it is super crippling, then I'll have to make some adjustments.
brings back 3 models, can cast a spell and is a guaranteed RDP so long as he is living. I find they really help make sure your guard arent leaving the table but I think its a matter of preference more than anything for people. Some like em and others dont.

Ok so after quite a few games with ny current list and have a few losses do to pure lack of mobility...I have come up with a new brew and am looking for feedback.
Nagash - 880
20 Mortek Guard - 260
20 Mortek Guard - 260
5 Kavalos Deathriders -180
5 Kavalos Deathriders - 180
1 Mortek Crawler - 200
Endless Spell
Bonetithe Shrieker - 30
Total: 1990
I cut a crawler, boneshaper, and nightmare predator for 10 boney ponies. I'm hoping with the speed of the horses it'll be easier for my to screen and capture objective half the table away. But I don't know if I should go 10, 10, 20 with the Mortek Guard instead of 20, 20.
Honestly, I am not sure you will have the RDP's to be as effective with this list as you need to be. Nagash gives you one and then you are reliant on rolling 6's of which you get 6 chances wich is 1 in 6 chance so estimate 2 RDP's plus a D3 of them from nagash if you get the spell off. I am just not sure this is enough for 2 hero and 2 combat phases every battle round. You wanna make sure you have that added rend and you wanna use the command abilities on those deathriders when they charge. There is also a lot of stuff there that will require regen and while Nagash can put out a lot, the boneshaper can come in seriously handy to the point I usually take 2 so each unit of 20 guard has their own boneshaper backing them up.

Personally, I think the Crawler is mediocre at best. But, it's one of only two guns we have. I've played against it and wasn't impressed.
The problem with the Crawler is that it costs 200pts and has no rend. It needs some buff stacking to get the most out of it. IE; Spirit Guide and an extra attack
I mean, sure, it can shred chaff infantry but we already do that. It can target characters, which is great. I find that with being an elite army, I can't assign units to babysit it. It's hard enough keeping forward momentum to take objectives while still keeping hold of your own and preventing fast/teleporting units from snagging them.
I own two. One is assembled, the other still in box. My experience is from across the other side of the table.
...
I'm such a conversation killer.
Yeah I figured the same but its in so many GT lists these days that surely I/we must be missing something!? I mean 1 seems perhaps not enough but 2 is apparently gold but cant see how for 400 points!?
-
can someone help explain to me the appeal of Mortek Crawlers in competitive lists? How are they used? How are the effective when the cauldron seems to only be good vs models/units with bravery 5 or less and nothing once it takes damage and Steele is only good after taking damage if you want to use it (or am I wrong here maybe?) so why am I seeing lists with 2 and sometimes more of these? I want to like these so someone help me understand the appeal!

I'm planning on trying this list with the Stalliarch Lords legion instead of Petrifex. I like the idea of the Deathglaive being able to run and charge and retreat and charge, as well as giving my Mortek Guard even more mobility.

I tried something similar the other night but I found it can hit hard only if it survives long enough to hit. And more often than not my units did not survive in great enough numbers. If you had more of something there to help reduce the numbers of models you are taking off units as they traverse the table like the harvesters or boneshapers it would be more effective. But those are just y findings from my games with a similar list.

@Major why you dont take helm +1 to hit on Liege?
If he is within range of Katakros (36") he is already getting +1 to hit anyway as he has the "Ossiarch Bonerepaers" keyword so is already hitting on a 2+

So I've been playing with a few lists. Sharing this one. Its 4 wins 0 losses currently. Its played and beaten Skaven, Tzeench, Stormcast and a rather nasty Khorne list. For those that dont like packs of guard in more than 20, I've also had 2 wins with this list but removing 10 guard and adding an extra Boneshaper which also gives you a 10 point deficit and can earn you a triumph if your that way inclined, or simply make it 20,20,10.

Pretty simple really. Wraithbone basecoat, skeleton horde contrast all over, then wyldwood contrast on feet, knees etc. Then a light drybrush of ushabti bone. Lastly extreme highlights with wraithbone is optional, I will only be doing that on larger models.
The white bone is simply apothecary white contrast, with ceramite white highlights. I think the apothecary white is one of the most interesting paints in the contrast range, while all the variations of brown are super effective.
also what did you prime them with? That white bone doesnt look like it was put over top of wraithbone was it?

Looking for people opinions as I have 3 boxes and no idea what build to choose - Stalkers or Guard?

Mate I would LOVE to see more shots and angles of these as well as close ups! I am looking at doing something similar but using reds instead. Great work by the way.

Okay so the Stalkers have 5 attacks EACH, 3+ 3+ -1 1D that can be -2 2D from their aspect. They're also 200 for a squad of 3 whereas Morghasts are 210 for 2. And that's not getting into different things with the legions.
This is true. AND you can make it 6 attacks each fairly easily using Katakros and increase rend yet again with Petrifex ELite so it would be rend -3 2D... I guess that is 18 attacks vs up to 8 with morghast. Both have the same wounds in a unit (arkai 6 each vs Stalkers 4 each)...
You could be bringing me around. Keep talking! lol -

Ah apologies friend!

Stalkers are the swords
Which may well be the intent behind them but darn it if I can see how they are much good compared to Arkai who can easily be at rend - 3, 3 damage off 4 attacks with halberds or 6 attacks at rend -2, 2 damage with swords. I know they can reroll failed hits which is great or even wound rolls but I just dunno.
