    AoS 2 - Blades of Khorne Discussion

    @Praecautus A Flying Daemon Prince Of Khorne with one of the either Daemon or Realm Artefacts has potential.

    They’re not summonable and the +1 to hit on either the sword or axe is pretty nice. 7 attacks total ... and a possibility up to ~24 wounds with really lucky dice...

    A flyer would be handy to take out the pesky heroes hiding at the back. 

    Maybe something like

    Prince

    Blood secrator

    Priest

    Priest

    Gaunt summoner

    Skarr

    Blood reavers

    Blood warriors

    Blood warriors

    Gorepilgrims

    Other stuff to 2k

    endless spell and or bale wind

     

    It will be a lot of drops and I feel odd not having blood stoker and a third priest or even trying the aspiring death bringer. 

    On plus side 

    decent anti magic

    ability to remove endless spell

    some tithe built in

    lots of bodies

    I like gore pilgrims a lot

    Summoner can bring 10 blood letters on each turn via realm gate for free

    some of my other models could make up for the missing heros eg the shrine

     

     

    Could be the starting point and then modify it

    You could start with the gore pilgrims battalion and add the aspiring deathbringer, one of the lords of khorne, wrathmongers, additional bloodwarriors (from memory the gore pilgrims requires 2 blood ravers and 1 bloodwarrior) to have 2 units of 10 and you should have enough points to add in some of your other units 

    I also reccomend trying out some of the lesser battalions like red headman that you already have models for to add some variety.

     

    Thanks gore pilgrims seems like an obvious choice, maybe with a wizard ally and then summon daemons in.

    I think I have too many heroes and i can no longer see wood for the trees ?

    Fellow skull collectors, I intend not to give up on khorne in this edition. However, I am at a loss as to how to build my list for this edition.  So seeking advice on what list to build. Would rather not buy new units yet as I have enough on my plate to paint (well maybe a box, certainly no more than 2 or so...)

    I have the following

    Daemons

    WoK blood thirster

    Daemon prince

    Herald of khorne on foot

    10 blood letters

    Skull cannon

    Mortals

    Mighty lord of khorne

    Lord of khorne on juggernaut 

    3 priests

    Blood secrator

    Blood stoker

    aspiring death bringer

    2 exalted death bringers

    skull grinder 

    Valkia the bloody

    Skarr bloodwrath

    40 reavers

    20 blood warriors

    5 skull reapers

    5 wrath mongers

    2 gore chariots

    chaos warshrine

    3 khorgorath

    3 skull crushers

    Allies

    Gaunt summoner

    Chaos sorceror

     5 blight kings

    Balewind

     

    Help me TGA you are my only hope!

    Ive got two, and ive just sourced a third so colour me happy!

    cursed ettin, three mammoths,  warshrine, marauders and horsemen :)

    ally in mr whippy and the secrator and you can colour me happier than a happy thing  on st happimas day :)

     

    oh and talk to me  about the four bronzed flesh ...

    Blades of khorne army w gore pilgrims - 3 priests and a shrine w khorne mark all taking bronze flesh. Lot of points but it can make 1 or 2 unitshard to shift.

    You could not have gore pilgrims but it makes the bronzes fleshes more reliable

    Is there a reason to bring multiple Bloodsecrators in a list, especially given the points increase?

    The unit is a seriously beneficial lynchpin with the additional attack bonus, but he’s a big target so removing the model from play would benefit your opponent substantially. (And basically entirely guts a Gore Pilgrims Battalion when he dies.)

    I could see a benefit if one doesn’t run the Gore Pilgrims Battalion. (Move one up, and then the other.)

    (Other than allowing you to run both A Bloodbound Warband and the Gore Pilgrims at the same time.)

    I have been wondering about a shrine and aspiring death bringer combo. It's a similar points to 2 secrator and is harder to shift in terms of wounds. Plus you get an additional 2  prayers for 1 hero slot.

    You lose the sorcery reroll but with al the unbind a and the range of 30 is that an issue. 

    The only downside is battleshock, but if running msu and needing tithe to summon that may not be so bad.

    So my fellow Skullreapers, what is a decent 1k list to start out with? 

    I’ve just ordered a box of Reavers but not really sure what’s best to run at that points level

    The question to ask is do you like the look of The bloodbound mortals or daemons or both?

    If you want a mortal only army then the start collecting box and old start set is about 1000 to 1100 points in old AoS points. It will give you lots to play with and try out plus 4 fun heroes. Slaves can be mixed into if you like.

    If you like daemons then it's pretty much wok bt with blood letters in blocks of 30 and a blood stoker (whip guy) and blood secrator on top. The blood thirsted may be overkill at this level. 

    our army works by the heros getting the troops to punch above their weight. It's a really engaging army but you need to track a lot.

    Bearig in mind AoS 2 may change this

    Breathtaking! In the old fantasy system I was never a chaos fan but the AoS units are magnificent. What a centrepiece. 

    Thank you, glad you like it. I am enjoying painting it and can't wait to o get it on the table.

    As a painter of Aelves, they always take bloody ages stuck together or otherwise!

    I love this model, but glad I have the Lokhir model for a Fleetmaster - his pose is open! 

    Love the skin colour - what is it?

    Thanks, at this stage it was Rakarth flesh over black primer. It takes a couple of thin coats at least to get a good coverage. It then got shaded and highlighted, I can provide full recipe later on when back home

    My adventures underneath Hammerhal continue. Waiting for wash to dry on 3 putrid blight kings. Next step will be to add some screaming skull highlights to the raised parts of the skin and then start the armour. Good few evenings left with these 3.
