    No problem. I am no expert with the bloodthirster type list but I am sure someone more knowledgeable will chip in For AoS you would also need a mortal Bloodsecrator to buff attacks and a priest for some useful buffs.

    A typical daemon list is going to be 3 or maybe 4 bloodthirsters. Usually a rage thirster, Skarbrand and then one of each of the others. Flesh hounds are ‘decent’ battleline and you may also want skulltaker and a blob of bloodletters. Daemon prince is decent to add as he has a good aura i.e., halve run and charge in 18” radius

    Rohan regular coming together. Just working on base coats .

    Ahh that’s useful to know for my other armies. I assumed spell lores as an enhancement could not be given to a unique model. Damn my sons seraphon w Kroak just got better haha

    Request for input from the hive mind. I normally play blades of Khorne mortals but have a lot of Khorne marked slaves as a result. Earlier this week I played an intro game at 1500 points vs nighthaunt using Khorne slaves in an idolators list, brand new allegiance and sub faction. It felt like a huge uphill battle, not helped by the scenario - tectonic shift and going second. I just didn’t feel I could shift him off objectives. Now it was a new list and allegiance abilities so definately lessons there, but I did like bits of eg the big hero priest. So want to try it some more. But how should I build this to 2k. What should be removed or added. mall Khorne marked where applicable idolator lord on gorebeast chariot daemon prince of khorne warshrine of khorne chaos lord on manticore chaos warriors 10 - sword and shield Chaos knights ensorc weapons 2x5 khargas ravagers (I know) 8 fold doom sigil any help appreciated. I have a lot of mortal Khorne I can fold in if needed.

    I’ve been reading the rules as uniques don’t get enhancements, that includes spells, which are considered to be an enhancement. Happy to be wrong though, we have kroak in another army we own

    If flamey sword guy isn’t called something along the lines of sturm brightblade then a bit of my childhood will have just died Yes I know he didn’t ride a dragon but he was heroic enough to be called by Sigmar across IPs

    It’s still -2 rend for them even in the new rules.

    I just got 10 chaos knights so want get them painted up and also some Rohan foot troops for war of the ring. Will be tricky as it is holiday month and also summer hols so kids are home a lot and we’ll be doing things.

    I think we have really had the rug pulled from under us in 3.0. It’s not going to be easy to play Khorne, especially mortals. Saying that I don’t feel it’s the end and there are options, but as said above it may be easier with other armies and less of a mind melter. I am still going to persist with the army for fun playing

    Ah sorry that’s a typo In my post that missed. I have written vanguard twice above. I used the battalions that gave an artefact each ie warlord and command entourage. Sorry that’s my typo. Everything else is right. I am not sure I would take the third artefact as I kept forgetting the impact of MoS. One thing I was reflecting on, the Bloodsecrator being stuck is not mobile and several units on the flanks were out of his bubble of +1 attacks so getting some more attack buffs would b e good for flexibility and / or putting the alter eitherto one side so a flank and center are better covered. Somethingn else which struck me after the event is the usefulness of a reinforced unit of bloodreavers. Their job is to regain control of an objective especially in these days of MSU. Just by sheer weight of numbers, whip em up and onto a contested objective. It helped in my game to hold the 10 reavers in reserve for this job. They are our cheapest way of doing it. So a unit of 20 may be a valuable addition.
  12. Praecautus
    Yes, 3 artefacts. You get 1 artefact, spell and prayer for free before battalions and then 1 enhancement for each of the battalions. Unless I misread something? yes the general survived but it was close, at the end of the very first turn he was on 1 ho prior to being able to garrison but the heal hero ability got him to full ho in 2 turns.

    So I had my battle tonight, using the list above. It was against dominion stormcast and a star stake. On points I lost by a single VP at end of turn 5 Overall i fares better than I expected. I learnt a lot The battle tactics and grand strategies are really important to play well and will get you a lot of vp even if objectives are gone. Bloodsecrator in alter w bezerker lord is hard to kill. Wrathmongers did really well, their explode into MW on death is a godsend. I may up from unit to 2 or 3 units lol. Coherency is painful and nullifies a lot of hitting power 10 chaos warriors are ok akull reapers were expensive pronces run and charge debuff is really useful, I kept forgetting Mark of the slayer Manticore lord is still ok i never got to use curse, blood boil was more useful
  14. Praecautus
    I have the shrine already along with a lot of other Khorne slaves, and keen to het it back to the table. I do have a kitbashed lord on daemon mount but do need to get the krakadrak lord as he is the business
  15. Praecautus
    I just ordered 10 knights to add in to my list with the intention they combine with curse. I am contemplating a warshrine too, either as a vehicle for curse or for the reroll hits to go fishing for 6s. Essentially turning them into faster cheaper skullreapers. I think I’ll be arming them with lances
  16. Praecautus
    There is good value in Khorne slaves. The horses bring a fair few benefits we don’t normally have. I would def also add in a lord on krakadrak for the knights of chaos ability and some of our attack buffs to get more from them. they also give us unleash hell which is useful
  17. Praecautus
    I think skull reapers will still be ok, just expensive. I am planning to replace with slave knights to free up 35 points a unit. The wrathmongers should be fun w curse an skarr. Curse the target and attack, plus pile in w Skarr to benefit from curse again. Daekon prince will allow them to reroll hits of 1. Blood secrator will be a danger thing with the wrath banner, people will need to hack through the chaos warrior body guard and then his 3+ with a ward of 5+. I can stick him in the alter too. Every combat round he will pump out MW everything else just needs to die
  18. Praecautus
    I have a whole stuff of things to summon if needed. Feels odd only 1 priest and no sacrifice. But seeing it as a first lesson in 3.0, mortals in an odd place
  19. Praecautus
    Got my first 3.0 battle on Monday. Not sure what I am up against, possibly stormcast including stuff from dominion. So the first group of models sent to die will be Blood secrator, general, bezerker lord, banner of wrath Chaos lord on manticore, gorecleaver on lance daemon prince, Mark of the slayer slaughterpriest, curse blood stoker Skarr bloodwrath Fleshhounds 5 flesh hounds 5 blood reavers 10 chaos warriors 10 skull reapers 5 skull reapers 5 wrathmongers 5 chaos spawn alter using vanguard, command entourage and vanguard battalions I am treating this one as a learning experience pics of the slaughter to follow

    It’s been a slow month, but the end is closing in on the 14 25mm scale elves from war of the ring. Just a few highlights to go and they can be sealed in varnish. Then onto something else (not sure why they are inserting sideways, I can assure you no dodgy gravity in my house)
  21. Praecautus
    How were your reavers built? I am wondering if with curse that double axes may be better to reroll the 1s and hopefully get a few more 6s. Slaves may be even better as they can get reroll all hits, although that’s then 2 buffing units 1 for curse and 1 for reroll
  22. Praecautus
    The talk of curse maxes me want to dig out the shrine. It’s more survivable than a priest so can be sent right to the front line. There it can better support those lovely buffed up knights. At least that is my thinking
  23. Praecautus
    So one thing I realised today. The daemon prince can garrison in a skull alter. Making the range of his run debuff even bigger as you measure from the base of the building. Pretty handy.
  24. Praecautus
    Axes with rend for reavers Gorefists for warriors
  25. Praecautus
    So playing around with a mortal list of blades plus Khorne slaves. Think ii quite like this although I won’t be winning any drop wars. Ithink goretide and need to sort battalions Bloodsecrator - general, banner of wrath Lord on krakadrak - thronebreakers Daemon prince of khorne Priest - sacrifice Skarr Blood stoker Reavers 10 Flesh hounds 5 blood warriors 10 chaos knights 5 chaos knights 5 chais warriors 10 wrath mongers 5 magores fiends and Riptooth Skull alter Hex skulls 1980 if I added it up right I may do some juggling about to fit in a monster (slaughterbrute?) there is flex in the battle line and magores to free the points to do so and or change a leader to a second priest with curse or even a warshrine instead and drop the main priest I can certainly build a few battalions with it and then modify over next few games. But appreciate the hive mind thoughts
