  1. Thanks for your reply! Ok, I'll try to swap slaughterborn to fore pilgrim but keep the 3x5 skullreapers.  I don't want to have both battalions as I don't really need more artefacts or CP, and I need extra bodies on the table. 

    For the hidden text, it's obvious on a computer, but if you are on cell phone, you need to add [spoiler ] before the text and [/spoiler ] after, without the spaces. 😉

    TOTAL: 1990/2000 WOUNDS: 125
    LEADERS: 6/6 BATTLELINES: 3 (3+) BEHEMOTHS: 0/4 ARTILLERY: 0/4

    First game was Better part of Valor against an OBR with katakros, 2 catapults and a 40-mortek pack of doom. We only had 3 battlelines each, so it was about killing enemy lines first. I manage to burn objectives and score enough VP with my bloodwarriors before the catas were able to obliterate them. The daemon prince tried to interfere with them, but I didn't realize how resilient they are. But I guess he did a pretty good job distracting them and so protecting my BW for 2 shooting phases. I won the game because my skullreapers and priests managed to do enough MW to get rid of the mortek pack before my opponent could score. I didn't even try to hurt katakros.

    2nd game was against a nurgle mixed demons/mortal army with 3 GUOs and bel'akor, on the total engagement scenario. First of all, I was very lucky with  my judgments out all the time and a lot of MW from the priests. He failed a lot of castings because of my Anti-magic Shield System©, but still manage to kill most of my heroes with geminids and rotigus spell. In the end, I won with a muderlust BT trick in 4th turn that allowed the last remaining WM to escape Rotigus and steal the objective! Fun fact, the daemon prince killed bel'akor and then avoided 2 charges from GUOs thanks to bloods lock ground (he rolled 3 and 4 on 3" charges 😂)

    Last game (the one I lost) was against a very good tzeench player, playing a duplicitous army with 40 pinks and a Duke on places of arcane power. This one was very hard, he used a lot of movement control tricks and locked down a big chunk of my army for the first 2 turns. I guess he didn't realize khorne can have such a damage output that I removed all the pinks very fast and I stole 2 of the 3 objectives by turn 2. In the end, we didn't have time to finish the game but the blues still on the table were killing my heroes and my prince didn't manage to kill his duke. So even if i gave a good fight, the game was lost.


    So thinking about all this, my first feedback was that 3x5 Skullreapers is amazing and a real threat against most units. But you kind of fall short against big single model. The daemon prince with "whipped to fury" and "bronzed flesh" is an amazing hunter but if he doesn't manage to kill his target quickly enough, he can be overwhelmed fast. I don't know if crimson crown was a good choice as i fought 3 very defensive armies, and i think khorne mortal is probably one of the most aggressive army in the game. Maybe i'd have another point of view if i'd played BCR or ID. So i think i'll try him again with a more aggressive artefact or the torc.
    Slaughterborn was good against OBR, but useless against Tzeench or Nurgle as they don't have rend. But i still have the feeling that in can be really usefull in a lot of match-ups.

    I think i'll play this list again as it was really fun and i had the outsider effect against 2 top tier armies. Anyway the whole day was great, and my adversaries were all really nice people with beautifully painted armies and great lists. What advices could you give me ?

    Looking forward for next tournament !

  3. Hello guys,

    I'll participate someday soon in a 5 games tournament, and i'm planning my list based on a Bloodbound/Mortal army. I really like Skullreapers as i find them very efficient, but i only have 10 of them. I've thought of 2 different lists, i have a lot of khorne minis, but i'm lacking on daemons (i have 30 unpainted bloodletters, a skarbrand, 20 flesh hounds, and a bloodthirster still on sprue). The tournament will take place at the end of november, so i still have time to build and paint stuff.

    Here are the 2 lists i've written for the time, i'm open to suggestions and replacements.

    Allegiance: Khorne
    - Slaughterhost: The Goretide
    LEADERS
    Slaves to Darkness Daemon Prince (210)
    - General
    - Command Trait : Hew the Foe
    - Sword
    - Artefact : Thronebreaker's Torc
    Bloodsecrator (120)
    - Artefact : The Brazen Rune
    Slaughterpriest (100)
    - Blood Blessing : Bronzed Flesh
    Slaughterpriest (100)
    - Blood Blessing : Killing Frenzy
    Exalted Deathbringer with Impaling Spear (80)
    - Artefact : The Blood-forged Armour
    UNITS
    5 x Skullreapers (180)
    - Goreslick Blades
    5 x Skullreapers (180)
    - Goreslick Blades
    10 x Bloodreavers (70)
    - Meatripper Axes
    5 x Blood Warriors (100)
    - Goreaxe & Gorefist
    10 x Blood Warriors (200)
    - Goreaxe & Gorefist
    - 1 x Goreglaives
    5 x Wrathmongers (140)
    5 x Flesh Hounds (100)
    BATTALIONS
    Gore Pilgrims (140)
    Slaughterborn (170)
    ENDLESS SPELLS / TERRAIN / COMMAND POINTS
    Hexgorger Skulls (40)
    Wrath-Axe (60)
    TOTAL: 1990/2000 WOUNDS: 125
    LEADERS: 5/6 BATTLELINES: 4 (3+) BEHEMOTHS: 0/4 ARTILLERY: 0/4
    ARTEFACTS: 3/3 ENDLESS SPELLS: 0/3 ALLIES: 0/400

    Not sure about the 2 battalions, i've got the feeling that it's a lot of investment on 3 units (2x5 SR, 10 BW), but that would make the spine of my army more resilient.

    Allegiance: Khorne
    - Slaughterhost: The Goretide

    Slaves to Darkness Daemon Prince (210)

    - Goreaxes
    10 x Bloodreavers (70)
    - Reaver Blades
    5 x Wrathmongers (140)
    5 x Chaos Knights (160)
    - Cursed Lance
    5 x Chaos Knights (160)
    - Cursed Lance
    BATTALIONS
    Gore Pilgrims (140)

    TOTAL: 2000/2000 WOUNDS: 150

    ARTEFACTS: 0/2 ENDLESS SPELLS: 0/3 ALLIES: 0/400

    Maybe swap Knights for Skullcrushers ? I don't know. Any advise ?

    Thanks for your help

  4. Ok, so now FAQs are out, still nothing for BoK. There's this weird printed chart in the GHb with stars in front of entries with no point changes compared to the last FAQ. Everybody else had point change, but not BoK ?

    My question is : do any of you think that this could be a misprint ?

    Maybe the "everything was in the perfect state" explanation should suffice, but i have doubts...
    What do you think about this ?

    Edit : btw there can be an Errata/Designers comments for the GHB this week

  5. This thing is amazing ! Probably one of the best tools for AoS players !

    Just one thing i noticed for Khorne

    Skullreapers - Frenzied Attacks
    You can re-roll hit rolls of 1 for models armed with Gore-slick Blades or Daemonblades.

    That rule doesn't exist anymore, it's been replaced by Trial of Skulls that is showing properly.

    Many thanks !

  6. Maybe i'm wrong, and i know some people talk about it from time to time here, but i've a strong feeling we might see the Pirate Vampires from TW:W2 in AoS at soem point. This army didn't exist in WFB, and they developped a whole concept under GW PI. So it must be coming from somewhere.
    And it could fit the AoS lore, and they have some very cool models (like the huge construct).

    I did the same as NeoA ,its about 40 €. I can make some pictures if you want to see certain models in comparison. I got some bonesplitterz, dispossessed and death to compare.

    I have an A-Case that i use with my magnetized models, but i need something bigger to transport more models. I was thinking of those documents boxes. So please could you show me your set-up ?

    That’s only 9 in that screenshot, the battle forces this year are 10, is there a screenshot of the 10th? I don’t understand the slaves to darkness one...

    We already know there's a Death Guard one that doesn't appear on this picture.

    So correct me if I'm wrong, but could I, say, save 150 points for an extra 3 command points,

    Actually, if you spend 200pts on a gore pilgrim, you 'll get 4 CP. And as it wasn't stated otherwise, you can spend a bunch of them on the ADB ability and throw a whole bucket of dices. 

    Q: In a Pitched Battle, I receive 1 extra command point for
    every 50 points I don’t spend on units. Do points spent on
    warscroll battalions, endless spells and terrain features count as
    points spent on units for the purposes of this rule?

    A: Yes.

    I know it sounds a bit stupid and overpowered, but the more I read those faq, khorne changes and rules, the more I have the feeling that it was done by some interns who didn't care and not corrected - or even checked twice - by anyone.  Did they really play tested this? 

    They obviously don't care, so why would we... 

     

  10. Also I didn't see anywhere a change to the command ability of the aspiring deathbringer with gore hammer. So we can just spam his ability as many times as we have command points and have +x atk on 6" units? 

    It's weird because I had the feeling this was the kind of ability they would change with this faq. Maybe I just missed it?
