    I think multipart blood warriors only in the start collectingbox and the box of 10. All slaves units are viable and can take khorne marks so it depends what you like Shrine is definitely viable- I use one very often and love it. I have a couple of gore chariots for fun. Chaos warriors can be a solid anvil for us. Manticore lord is good but we have a ton of other good beat stick heros. If you like the look go for it you won’t harm yourself, I use 20 blood warriors in my mortal list. They do well, but they are not offensive masters. I find more use as anvil units

    Took my Gorepilgrims list ( w shrine and prince general) out last night vs night haunt. Long story short, resulted in the spooks being tabled. I did learn some valuable lessons Again it was a battle where I let the enemy army onto my boys so the synergies were maxed. Daemon prince with the sword of judgement is seriously powerful, 15 MW on the black coach, and he one shotted at least 2 other heros. Don’t be afraid to start the blood secrator up front. There was limited shooting and I could protect him w reavers. Priests can move from the secrator. Sometimes it’s valuable to reduce the range of the portal so a priest can move his prayers on range of something. On that topic You don’t have to blood boil all the time. By moving a priest I could blood bind a key hero and pull it in range of the other two priests and my daemon prince = a messy end for the general. Warshrine is the bomb. It takes a lot of fire and is so valuable in the extra prayers and Ward. Useless in combat though 😀

    Not only does the Department of Product Turnover identify dodgy flight stands but they realise you can buy more thicker plastic from an ‘inexpensivly’ prices scenery kit to over come that turnover...

    I think it’s meant to be a reality splitting axe chopping through reality from Realm of Khorne to whatever realm the battle is in. It reminds me of a ‘comedy’ Shepard’s crook coming from off stage to pull a bad actor off - only there is a bloodthirster on the other side saying lol killz

    I hope there are some new cards to go with the tome. The current ones are designed for an eagle to read not a middle aged nerd 🤓 No scenery piece (yet) either. Regardless or the endless prayers, I have hopes for the tome. Although I may not buy any models until it is released

    Looks a fun start list. I would put brazen rune on the blood stoker, in some missions yiu need an artefact or wizard to score and he is your fastest hero. The secrator won’t move and no one will nuke him with all those innings around and priest will be more use off the objective Take killing frenzy blessing for the priest and stick it on your reapers along with the blood secrator buff. Get some daemons to summon
  8. Praecautus
    Looks fun. One very minor change would be to split the reavers into units of 10 as it is slightly more flexible. From experience I have found that very useful for objective grabbing, screening, tithe etc Get some daemons to paint for summoning, even without trying this list should end up with quite a few to spend.

    I’d say post pics but that may cause the site to be shut down 😀

    Good start of models there. You are getting close to a gorepilgrims list with summoned daemons, which is definitely a good starting point, assuming you like that type of army. If mortals are your thing then I would consider the start collecting box which contains the blood warriors and a box of skull reapers. You can then add the following Unit of skull crushers or convert 1 to juggerlord Third priest 10 blood warriors of your choice - you could build just 5 and use the legs with the skull reaper box to build reapers and wrath mongers. Giving you 2 units of elite infantry. Othet things to consider for morta army Blood reaver box to give you 40 Skullreapers/wrathmongers Daemon start collecting so you have 20 letters (most you can summon), cannon so you summon a shooter, herald for chain summoning and blood crushers - all are useful 5 more fleshhoundd to get you to 10 10 letters to have a starting unit of 30

    So Andrew thinks he is a tactical genius of Patton-like abilities and not a cheese monger. Only one way to prove it. In your next game use each other’s armies. Your faithful fans await the results...

    Check your streams kids, new episode released. That’s my Sunday hobby listening sorted for later tonight
  13. Praecautus
    I saw that earlier, that’s for the link as was trying to find the list 😀 Great result Matt
  14. Praecautus
    Yes typo it’s all models in the unit. Yes it is D6 so it is like a normal run move, but the models must cover all of that distance and not up to that distance. Of course they have to stop at 3 inch from the nearest unit as well I tend to make the unit owner roll the dice, after all it’s their army 😀
  15. Praecautus
    The priests scroll tells you - all units must run as far as possible ie they have to move as far as a run move (move +D6 inch)
  16. Praecautus
    Got sent a pic of the slaughter. It’s looking bad at this point, but the army held on and fired out a lot of MW to take down all those beasts. Many devoted of khorne died to bring us this information

    So I took my list w warshrine (see post above) out for a friendly 2k game last night v beastclaw. I added immense power to the prince in addition to blade of judgement and added a banner to the blood secrator that deals mortal wounds. We played open war. I had to deploy my entire army in 1 drop in a 24 inch bubble in the middle. 2 objectives close by. He had to deploy in the 4 corners with 2 further objectives. Being in the centre close together helped my army as multiple buffs were in range on multiple units as most of the battle was in my deployment zone. This made the army really punch, although it took a while to chip the stone horns and general on thindertusk down - they all died in the end. It was a hard fought 7-7 draw on points and I expect I probably would have won if it had gone to 6 rounds. I am really pleased as I thought I was doomed on turn 2 and was close to calling it, never give up the dice always roll both ways. Particular highlights Daemon prince with blade of judgement with stacked killing frenzy - holy moly - 12 mortal wounds + 7 claw damage dealt in turn 1. He was killed immediate after but I’ll run that combo again. Warshrine was IMMENSE. Most of the army was under protection of the darkgods so the ward save saved my bacon a lot of times. More than made its points back in value of models saved. It took a lot to take it down. Must remember to use the reroll all failed hits more often. MSU reavers, cheap objective grabbers, screen, blood tithe, 31 attacks, rend or reroll hits, love these guys. 140 points worth scored most of my points. Bloodwarriors, both units performed again. Hitting on death is useful and a last ditch screen of the gorefist unit w bronzed flesh dealt a few mortal wounds. Priests, as expected, combined with shrine the 4 blessings was really flexible. They dealt a lot of mortal wounds. Bloodsecrator w banner, never had call to use it before but it was built for this battle. D3 MW on each unit in 8 inch on a 4+, was like a bonus prayer and surprisingly reliable. Summoned wok bt . Could deploy in range to nuke his general and captured the objective for a draw. But the other summoned star was the herald and 5 letters who captured his back objective by chain summoning an unguarded objective ( he had a low model count army so had to abandon one near the end) Khorgie was a distraction unit and the reapers took out at stone horn. The MW with 6 hit is handy. All in all I’ll run this list again, it’s got a lot of tricks and hits hard plus can summon so the loss of loads of models is not a worry. Bottom line - fun for the fun god 😀

    Thanks Killax! I have a game tonight v BCR and so I think the shrine needs an outing. I am going to take my usual gorepilgrims Daemon prince (or maybe juggerlord) with sword of judgement Slaughter priest w kill frenzy Slaughter priest w kill frenzy Slaughter priestw bronze flesh Blood secrator Blood stoker 10 blood warriors 10 blood warriors 4x10 blood reavers Khorgorath 5 skull reapers Shrine w bronze flesh I am not sure of command trait for general, maybe immense power on the prince or what the second artefact is yet i have a thirster to summon aoong with some other smaller daemons
  19. Praecautus
    There is always place for a warshrine - the GW one is great to paint. I have also foond skull reapers to be worth the weight now. 10 in one unit would be a scary force. So much so that I am tempted to make a combination of gorepilgrims and skulltake. It would be a 2 drops list, maybe not a tournament winning list but certainly a fun one
  20. Praecautus
    @Killax good to see you in the thread, we miss your advice! Some small notes on the warshrine, I find it complements gorepilgrims nicely. The fourth blessing and the unique prayer are handy. Would be good on your reaver swarm or the skull reapers. The fourth blessing offers some flexibility for adding blood sacrifice in or having 2 frenzies and 2 bronzes flesh. I am not sure what I would drop from the gp list, maybe the mongers. If you do you could upgrade the MLoK to juggerlord. I have also found daemon prince is fun in this list too to give you some fast choppy ness. Give him the D6 MW artefact from ulgu or extra rend and he will do well in this lot.

    Hi fishkin, I am slowly building my deepkin list to 2k and wanted some advice on next steps. Currently I have the following Akhelian king/Volturnus Soulscryer Soulrender Tidecaster 10 reavers 10 thralls 6 Morsarr Guard eels I would prefer to avoid the eel span lists and like to play with the infantry starting with eels and king deepstriking in. My current thought to get close to 2k is 6 more Morsarr and an aspect of the storm. I would like to squeeze another unit of thralls in if possible. Before I commit the funds are there any thoughts eg drop the aspect for more bodies?
  22. Praecautus
    It doesn’t stack as it’s an aura affect as opposed to the model granting an ability. The wording says you roll if the model being allocated the wound is in range of a shrine. There are other examples of an aura not stacking eg blood secrator and aspiring deathbringer.

    A jungle in the realm of life. Using a system like blackstone where The initial cards are exploring the jungle and then the battle cards are eg temples, villages etc to explore
  24. Praecautus
    I manage to pause it on that spot. I agree look like the current start collecting boxes, 17 are listed if I counted right but 18 are on the gw page. Most I recognised eg seraphon but some too blurry to see if new or current . There are quite a few plans and a page or 2 at least of rules for skirmish Also some shadespire stuff in there. Looks like maps and rules. I saw something on mercenaries for kill team and crimson fists Managed to get the back cover

    Hey Khorne dogs. I need some advice - should I buy wrath and rapture? I mainly run a mortal army based around gorepilgrims and summon in what I need. In terms of daemons for summoning I have the following 10 blood letters, 1 wrath of khorne thirster, skull cannon and heard on foot. Plus a prince, I know can't be summoned. I don't play in tournaments but likewise want to give my opponents a good game with an army that doesn't fold instantly. The gore pilgrims lists I use tend to meet that requirement. I have noticed I tend to have more tithe than models to summon. I was initially quite excited by wrath and rapture, but the rules and points changes are making me rethInk. It seems 20 letters would be a more worthwhile investment for now, then hounds when released singly.
