    He’s an interesting addition, but we give up a lot to take him ~9 eels and feuthan with its rerollls. I am not sure it’s a decent trade off for most lists.

    I have a load of projects running through my mind right now. Finalise current Khorne mortals, but undecided on a chimera and manticore lord Archaon Khorne list, I have everything but archaon Khorne murderhost and tyrants of blood Really tempted by some beasts of chaos to mix in to the khorne mortals On a different topic I want to make a Slaanesh list with the keepers painted as famous made up rock icons eg ziggy stardust, and the daemonettes as groupies I need to finish my Idoneth and am quite tempted by the Gotrek model that just came out

    The one that did is still great

    Well if other people are posting some pics - Magores fiends - need to pick out the skulls on the bases Colour scheme is more traditional 😀 but at 5000 points and counting I am somewhat committed
  6. Praecautus
    My first warband - Magores fiends and Riptooth.

    Come and have a go if you think your hard enough 😀 the boys get ready to take on 2 k BCR in knife to the heart. Won in turn 2 with most of the opponent army destroyed. This was an experimental list with some unit set ups I would not use eg MSU warriors with fists. what I learnt, this castle / collapsing bag worked a dream. 3 layers of msu warriors, wrathmongers and skull reapers was very resilient. While individual units were getting overkilled opponent was not advancing as each line was 3 inch apart so the second wave would fill the shoes of their dead mates. MSU blood warriors w fists is a great strategy against armies which want to get. For the reason above and damage after death. The tight set up favoured me, several units were getting +2 attacks due to mongers and secrator Skarr was a threat all game with his potential deepstrike. Opponent tried not attacking him to stop that happening. Skullreapers are amazing. 25 -27 attacks with secrator wiped his genera Fury thirster w torc combined with a prince w hew the foe and sword of judgment is a nasty surprise. 6 inch pile in for the prince over the line to snipe a stone horn. Great ability. Finished turn 2 with over 8 tithe ( missed oops to spend it) but it meant I could be reckless with the thirster Onwards to the next battle

    Back to more of a normal month for me. I plan to 1 Finish Magores fiends and Riptooth from last month 2 paint 3 Khorne objective markers 3 paint Karanak 4 paint some other stuff - maybe an allopex or something from Rogue Trader 5 build some skull reapers

    Great models everyone! Keep it up. August has been tricky with the holidays but I have made good progress on Magores fiends. Will finish them this week.

    Watched both videos last night while I painted some blood warriors up. Very interesting and got me thinking about building such a list. Just need the models now, being a mortal player I don’t own as many daemons as needed to create a starting 2k daemon list yet. But you certainly made me want to give it a go
  11. Praecautus
    I am not a daemon player; however, make sure to take a blood secrator and 1-2 priests - their buffs are just too good to ignore You don’t say what list he is running, but assume he has 2-3 thirsters in there. After those, any other leaders are not going to fit in. Except karanak as he does not take a leader slot
  12. Praecautus
    Up down left right over there that way or sir Terry
  13. Praecautus
    I am starting to get really tempted by archaon as part of a Khorne army. With the buffs available to Khorne mortals and Dawkins he looks like he could be an absolute monster, 2+ save rerolling 1, yes please. Obviously a buff sponge, but then all Khorne monsters are
  14. Praecautus
    Both units are good, but can be overshadowed. They do have uses. if building a khorgorath list then you should go skull fiend host to make the most of them. I would also consider upping to 6 (you could use 2 spawn as proxies for now) Reavers are not a hammer or anvil, but are a viable utility unit eg speed bump, objective grabber, source of tithe. They should be taken in units of 10 due to battleshock and should be armed with meatripper axes. You will need some other bigger hammer units and some good anvils. On that note Daemon prince, if you take him then give him the sword of judgement take another big hero sledgehammer, there are several good choices eg a thirster, manticore lord, juggernaut lord, etc Skull reapers are well worth investing in, 10 is a good start I would also look to add some blood warriors, 2 priests and a blood secrator. For battalions then gorepilgrims is a good start
  15. Praecautus
    Thanks, had forgotten that little nugget
  16. Praecautus
    Ok, it’s a bit of cheat as they were started last month. But 5 flesh hounds completed - the goodest of boys
  17. Praecautus
    Finish my flesh hounds Knosso Prond then either an allopex or magores fiends
  18. Praecautus
    This article will be the best starting point https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/03/21/who-fights-first/ the banner is an ability not an activation to happens independently of unit activation. There was a big discussion about this on the khorne Facebook page too but it may be buried now
  19. Praecautus
    As I understand. In your turn it’s when you want, in your opponents turn it’s after their start of turn abilities
  20. Praecautus
    Probably similar to @TheCovenLord process Do I like the army? Get some units around a concept or theme and then lose a lot Read around and add units, as I like them but also with a view to doing ok Keep playing and tweaking the list, all the time I learning the warscrolls by playing Hit a list I like and understand Modify as needed based on the game Yes I end up with more models than needed and it’s not a fast process, but it’s my army and I know it well
  21. Praecautus
    Been away on business, but now that I am back I can work in the final judgement. Everyone’s favourite- the wrath axe. This is a wip and was a trial of wet blending, something I rarely do. I am pretty happy with the outcome.
  22. Praecautus
    Difficult poll. I went with splintered fang which had a certain something that appeals, but iron golems are a close second which for my Mortal Khorne army and would slot in. After that I am really not sure.
  23. Praecautus
    and now the skulls are ready. Surprisingly fun little models to do.
  24. Praecautus
    Thanks everyone for their input. Seems like BoC maybe a side project for my Khorne. Which sounds fun. But maybe not a stand-alone army for me right now. I do like the models and the idea of mixing some into my Khorne mortals from an aesthetic point of view. I am sure I’ll be dropping back into the thread from time to time to ask questions
  25. Praecautus
    Question for the BoC players. I am considering starting a new project and I am trying to decide what it is. One option is a 2k BoC army that I could use alone or mix in with my Khorne. BoC already ticks some boxes for me e.g., do I like the models and fluff. I would be looking for something that scratches a different play style itch to my main two armies. Khorne has its synergies and flexibility of build, a play style I like a lot. My other army are Idoneth which are super fast, hit like a tank and have a lot of tricks. So my question is, how would you describe the BoC style? Ideally I would like something with a different feel to my other armies. Cheers
