Prince has the Druid command trait and Ironoak Skin for his spell. +2 to cast from the sorceress is huge with all the big boi casters running around lately SotT can buff the eternal guard screen or run up to heal and support the drake deepstrike detachment Dragon and Concussors are in the hidden path deepstrike threat/distraction. Feeling starved for command points but a lot of tricks and options available to be implemented as needed. Any obvious ideas for improvements? I really want to use my old dark elves as much as possible but seems like they are a better fit in the other cities. Many Thanks

Sounds like you have a solid theme/idea in your head and your just looking for ways to get it on the table. Like @Grimrock was saying, it isn't exactly using the most competitive tournament options, but don't let that dissuade you if that's not the gaming environment you frequent. First off id like to note that on the GW website and/or with the Azyr app you can check out the warscrolls for free to get an idea on what everything does. Also take a look in the blades of khorne and slaves to darkness topics as they have loads of good information there as well. Based solely off what you've said thus far Id recommend running Khorne allegiance vs slaves to darkness. This will let you use the models you mentioned and give you access to more toys and a less finicky synergy system to manage. I would prioritize the Blades of Khorne book in that regard. The terrain piece and judgments are also highly recommend buys if you go this route. Remember that anything that has or can be given the Khorne keyword can be used in this allegiance. Heroes are an integral component to the Khorne war machine. This is where most of your synergies will be derived from and will dictate list creation significantly. My notes and recommendations will reflect the units that you've mentioned with a bias towards the mortal side of things as a result. Slave to darkness options = Karkadrak - I fully endorse the crackerjack from S2D as above. He is a pure beatstick and buffs your knights. Demon Prince of Khorne - With wings he can keep pace with your cav and is no slouch in combat, but his command ability is great at controlling board space and allows you to dictate when and where combats occur. Especially handy in conjunction with units that receive bonuses when charging. (lances, some command abilities etc ....). Another highly recommended option. Chaos Lord - This guys main draw is his command ability which at the start of the combat phase allows a mortal slaves to darkness unit wholly within 12" to fight for a second time during that phase. But being on foot will usually mean its hard to keep him in range of cav. Blades of Khorne options = Lord of Khorne on juggernaut. I will mention this guy because you specifically wanted to include skullcrushers, and if you make this guy your general skull crushers become battleline. He is good in combat and has a command ability allows you to pick 3 mortal units within 16" that have made a charge to reroll ones to wound. Combining him with a demon prince to dictate those charges makes the most of this ability. He is fun to use and a great model but wouldn't consider him a must have unless you want to lean heavily on skull crushers. Slaughter priests - These guys are amazing and I include at least 2 in almost every list. Their prayers cannot be unbound and just happen if you make the D6 roll. In addition to the prayers on their warscroll they have access to 1 more from a list of 6 in the book. Ranging from battle shock immunity, buffing to hit, buffing armor save, and dispelling an endless spell on a successful prayer roll. A must have purchase IMHO. * Judgements of khorne are very similar to endless spells in form and function and as such are purchased with points while list making. That being said they are still prayers that can be used by any Khorne priest. * Note that the warshrine with mark of khorne, while not a hero, is a priest as well and will gain access to Judgement and the Khorne prayers in addition to what's on his warscroll. Bloodsecrator - This guy is a pure support piece that adds 1 attack to friendly khorne within 16", and also hampers enemy casters by making them reroll successful casts within that same 16". This model is great and is considered an auto include in many a list. Unfortunately he is only available on foot and your cav may outpace him quickly. A solid hero choice that will make most lists. Bloodstoker - Another great support piece that picks one friendly unit and adds 3" to run and charge rolls and also allows that unit to reroll wounds. Said unit must be wholly within 8". Again this model is only available on foot so your cav may not see the benefit but it can help your foot troops keep pace better. Bloodthirsters - A quick note here, they guys are expensive and eat a lot of points, and synergize with demons not mortals. BUT they are massive distraction pieces that can also be summoned with blood tithe. Might be worth picking up one as a result. But I wouldn't prioritize it with your current theme. There are plenty of other hero options that have a place and can be used but these would be my primary recommendations. I will also add that you may want to look at battalions as well. Gore Pilgrims being a very popular option that forms a good foundation that buffs the bloodsecrator range. It would mean including at least 1 unit of blood reavers as well but they are good chaff, and when they die (which they will) you get a blood tithe. On the subject of blood tithe, this allegiance ability resource provides great utility. One of which is summoning Khorne demons to the battlefield. They can be used to capture objectives or provide additional chaff screens/threats. So keep in mind that some demons will always be handy. Personally, I've found that Flesh Hounds, Bloodletters, and Heralds to be my most commonly used in that regard. Hope that helps and happy gaming.

Hobby Question. I've got some bubble bois that I want to start working on but in an attempt to future proof them, I am considering magnetization and was hoping some of you fine folks would share your wisdom so that I can avoid any headaches/complications if I go this route. - Specifically what size magnets for the arms sockets were used? - Is it worth magnetizing the heads as well? - Magnetizing the flight stands seems like a good idea as well, I've seen the Magnet Baron options but I am honestly not a huge fan of the clear plastic. Its far too chunky and not pleasing to the eye (well my eye at least). Any other options? Magnet size recommendations? - Appreciate some visual aides as well if possible. Pictures worth a thousand words and all that. Thank you kindly for any and all assistance.

Quick question for all the hobby gurus out there. When gluing clear plastic, like the flight stands, what type of glue do you use so that the "cloudy" effect doesn't occur. I know super glue is not the answer. I've heard that elmers or white glue is a good option but figured I would ask the experts prior to performing irreversible harm to my flying bois. Thank you much.

Really liking the look of that “yellow” WiP dragon. what parts did you use? And any chance for some more pictures of this wonderful creature? I saw the couple on Instagram but want some more “body” pics and profile options for inspiration. keep up the great work!

Personally I don’t see dragons being very involved here as I think that will be more Malerion (evil dragon god) Id like to see the griffon/Sphinx/eagle stuff pushed more so. Especially so that there isn’t so much overlap between the various elf factions (I don’t want a repeat of WHFB) each should be very distinct. I’m thinking more a mix of old tomb kings and high elves forces of light deal.

@Nubl0 Same. I’ve deleted and reinstalled multiple times. Cleared cache/cookies. Restarted device ... nada. Im extremely annoyed.

@Blightlord it still all falls under Beast of chaos allegiance ... so you can at least use all the cool stuff the book offers. warheard / thunderscorn / Brayherd are all sub categories of beasts of chaos. You get their respective bonuses regardless of what’s in your list ... Just need the particular keyword ... page 60 of the battletomb probably explains it better.

@Chris Tomlin I really like that maw crusher you did for your client. Mind sharing your palette/method? scales/underbelly/wings(membranes) excellent work home slice, keep it up!

@Gr3g love your work. Great theme and amazing execution. I was curious if you could share your recipe for your stormtreemans skin tone.

Really like that Sorceror on Manticore. Do you have more pictures? Especially nterested in how you painted the Manticore.

Thank you. That was my interpretation but I was argued against and a “neutral” 3rd party ruled in the other guys favor.

Shock and Awe Does it last just the Stormcast player Turn or does it last the entire battle round? the wording is a little ambiguous,

Did you create the bases? If so, can you go into more detail as to how you did the basing. Green stuff roller? Resin kits/pre done bases?

I'm really tempted to try the shade skin painting for my Fyreslayers. My only concern is the fact that they aren't as well "defined" in their musculacher, as such do you think the technique would still work as well? did you stick to the same highlight colors as the guide?

How'd you do your blue ghostly bits?

Skilled with the green stuff you are ... Seriously, very envious of your abilities. Your work truly bring the models to another level. These look amazing.
