Wont say those stormcast units are op or anything. But i think they are pretty good. Stardrake is great in fact i thought it would get a point increase. Since it can be a behemoth with 2+ save and doing mortals on 4 or 5s etc. But verminlords are absurdly cheap. They cant cost less than 350-400 by any means. Idoneths mage avatar are the same as verminlords and cost 420 per example.
Dracholines do 13.64 wounds with -1 rend on the charge if they use the normal weapon.
17.18 -1rend wounds on the charge if they cast his spells that being a 6+ ahould be 100% as median since the median on 2 dices are 7. If the oponnent havent a mage.
2 special weapons:
16.72 roughly 0.75 rend since 2/3 of the atacks have 1 rend and the remaining 0.
21.06 if have his spell.
They have 15 wounds with 4+ save rerroling 1s to shoting. And 8 ld making them pretty inmune to it. And a -1 ld area. And being mages can dispell 1 time.
And they do 3 mortals every turn. Not like eels that do the same once per battle only.
So counting the mortals they do:
16.64w or 20,18 with the speel
Special weapons do 19,72 or 23,06 with spell.
Eels do 11,44 -1 rend ( half -2 other half 0 so median is 1 in all) on the charge.
And once per game they do roughly 2.4 mortals.
Have 12 w. 4+save. 6ld ( so even with only 1 death they can start losing models despite being the royalty among idoneths). Move 2 more and fly ( pretty useles on aos most of the time)
So dmgwise only .maximun dmgper point.
Drach has 0.076 ( on best case) Vs eels 0,067 normal or 0.081 the only turn they use his ability.
But tankwise eels have more wounds with sligthy worse save again shoting. A ridiculous leadership etc.
In general MY conclusion ( numbers dont lie but everyone can understand them different) is eels are tankier and do sligthy less to roughly the same dmg per points than dracholines. . There are more differences like eels fliying havind a joke leadership. Stormcast being able to cancel spells aura of -1ld etc. But all in all of course eels are better. But the margin is waaay shorter than i thought it would be since every non idk cry about those eels being so broken and stormcast criying about dracholines being so underpower.
Of course this isnt counting external abilitys. Like those eels being fuethan rerolling 1s to wound on mount. Or having volturnos cloose to reroll 1s to hit. Or stormcast having the +1 armor of castellan i think? Or his dhacholine hero buffing them etc. I think eels would win even more than stormcast with this but i dont want to do the numbers now haha.
Maybe dracholines should have get a -20 or 30 point decrease on ghb making them great for me. But at least watching those numbers i dont think they be so bad.
Wont derail the General discussion but having fly + high Movement is huuuge. Its the difference between hitting a screen and killing what you want to Kill. On the other hand differences in Leadership and Bravery manipulation matter far less than I would like.
Also I would always prefer one heavy Hit vs. consistent medicore damage. esp. If I can have three units with this once per game heavy hit. In AOS you seem to want to Kill your target with your first activation.
Getting back on point: For me evaluating those nuances with point costs seems very hard. Would Love Insights!

@swarmofsealsI agree with everything you say but dont really get one thing: Why are the discounts on armies who obviously wont get a new book soon so conservative. Mainly thinking of Stormcast and Nurgle.
How can a Stardrake be 560 when you compare it to a Verminlord? How can the Prime still be so expensive? Why are Eels 170 and Evos on Dracolines 300? Not speaking of Internal Balance where the Point Changes wont make older units viable but make strong Units weaker. Or are Palladors now worth it?
Whats the WDR of Plaguebearers and Plaguedrones? Does a GUO seem a little expensive? Are Blighlords worth it for 200pts?
I may Sound salty but I would honestly love to be proven wrong from a mathematical standpoint.
Again thanks a lot for your work!

Hello everyone,
could someone please post the endless spell heavy list which got 2nd at BOBO (Player is named Dan afaik)? I would also very much appreciate a description of your game plan when piloting such an unusual list.
@GwendarYou seem to be planning a similar list. I would love to hear your opinion or first experiences.
Thanks a lot!

Happy to oblige, but giving average output for a wlc is not quite comparable, as it is very swingy. That said:
on average, a WLC will do 3.5 (mortal) wounds a turn. With a spark, this is 7 mw. With mmwl (its own ability) as well that’s 14 mw, but you’re gonna break your cannon in (on average) 2 shots. No command traits/artefacts will help.
A single jezzail (when not moving) will average just over 1 wound a turn. (1 and 1/9). Before any saves, but includes the possibility of mortals). With a spark, this is 1 and 1/2. With an injector as well, it’s 1 and 7/9, but you’re losing a jezzail a turn. With mmwp as well it’s 2 and 5/36 (say 2 and 1/7) wounds a turn each, but now you’re losing 2 jezzail a turn as well (though you can move again!).
now a wlc is 180 points, and jezzail are 140 for 3. So closest comparison is 4 jezzail for every 1 wlc.
Without any buffs, that’s 3.5 wlc vs 4.45 jezzails (though some can be saved at -2 rend; e.g. against 4+ save, this is approximately 4 wounds). So unbuffed and unsparked the jezzails look slightly better in most cases. Once you spark them, the wlc starts to pull ahead quickly.
On max power (all possible buffs) both units will destroy themselves within 2 turns. But the wlc will deliver 28 mortal wounds, the jezzails about 12 and a 1/2 wounds (some mortal).
Note that these are averages, as I said at the start, the WLC is more swingy than jezzails. However, the max damage output of 4 jezzails fully buffed in one turn is 12 wounds (18 over the two turns that 4 would wipe themselves out) whereas the max output of a wlc is 56 mortal a turn (112 over the two turns it wipes itself out). Unlikely, but it’s there!
Hope that helps. In terms of your list, if you already have 2 bombardier, 1 doomwheel, 2x20 clanrats and 1 wlc, I think I’d simply go with another wlc. If the exercise is to squeeze the jezzails in, I’d either drop a bombardier, or restart
30What do you mean when advising to increase the WLC Damage with a Spark. I was under the impression, that Sparks only increase the damage characteristic of weapons. Something that the WLC and Warpfire are lacking..

I see a disturbing lag of our most glorious invention: Doomwheels.
I know they are pretty random but they seem to be a nice distraction and mobility piece in a low model count skryre army?

All units in that battaillon get a 5+ shrug against m mortal and normal wounds in the first turn.
its called Skatchniks warpcoven, costs 140points.
to fulfill the battailon you have to take a minimum and maximum of 1warplightningcannon, 1Doomwheel, 1warlock Bombardier and 1unit of 3Stormfiends.
Thanks a lot! Might be interesting to use against Alpha Strikes although I would prefer using it with a Unit of 6 Stormfiends...Still, taking two of this is still cheaper/as cheap as using our Warpcog Convocation, a great way of reducing drops and giving us two artifacts and two CP instead of only one.
List Idea: Three Drops...at least a nice way to use your two boxes of carrion empire before investing too much in other units.

Hello all,
could someone please tell me what the Carrion Empire Battalion does and what it´s name is? I assume it includes all units featured in the box?
Should be legal as Blight War Battalions are as well...
-
Also, point for point, what is stronger? I´m no Mathhammer genius buy maybe someone has already figured it out:
20 Thunderers with 20 Rifles + Khemist for 560 Pts
or
20 Thunderers with mixed weapons, e.g. 8 Rifles, 4 of each Mortars, Decksweepers and Aethercannons and thus rahter high chances of getting the boni for each subsequently used weapon for 400 Pts
I feel losing the dependecy on two Khemists could be a viable and futureproof way to go!
Here we go, I´ve done the math.
Assuming the Champ always uses a Rifle and more or less average rolls for D3s and D6s (weighted toward better results thanks to potential rerolls) we have the following results:
Mixed Setup:
18 Rifleshots, 16 Sweepershots, 4 Aethercannonshots and 4 Mortarshots
10,1 Damage vs. 3+, 13,1 Damage vs 4+ and 16,0 Damage vs. 5+
Resulting in 2,54 to 3,99 Damage per 100 Points spent
Rifle Setup:
42 Rifleshots
7,4 Damage vs. 3+, 9,9 Damage vs 4+ and 12,2 Damage vs. 5+
Resulting in 1,84 to 3,05 Damage per 100 Points spent
Rilfe Setup + Khemist:
62 Rifleshots
10,4 Damage vs. 3+, 13,9 Damage vs 4+ and 17,2 Damage vs. 5+
plus (although he should be out of range)
10,5 Khemist shots
1,8 Damage vs. 3+, 2,2 Damage vs 4+ and 2,6 Damage vs. 5+
Resulting in 1,85 (2,17 with Khemistshots) to 3,07 (3,54 with Khemistshots) Damage per 100 Points spent
Sooo, point for point the mixed setup does more damage but at a lower range of 12" instead of 18" (which is quite relevant I think). On the other hand the mixed setup won´t lose effectiveness when the Khemist dies or is used to buff another unit, eg. Endrinriggers.

Hello everyone,
I´m not sure if the Navigator is as bad as some make him out to be. Halving movement of flyers is something quite powerful in the current meta, isn´t it? Grimghast move 4" instead of 8, Boingrotz only move 1D6 etc.
Reading the warscroll: It seems like two navigators can stack! It says within "the" Navigator, not "any" Navigator. For the price of one Khemist we could reduce the move of flying opponents to 1/4 of its original value. I know, that we would have to roll two 3+ but having two really helps of getting the storm of at least once.
Depending on matchup I see some merit for using this cool model. What do you think?
Also, @cofaxest, great looking army!-

Is there any issue rules-wise about putting Longstrikes all on the smaller "prime" base instead of the larger ovals? Since both bases are apparently legal for the unit, I was curious if anyone has tried this (easier to fit on terrain or within buff ranges)? Is it scummy?
I wouldn´t do it - seems like modeling for advantage, especially since the building instructions are pretty clear.

Hurricanes can do a pretty gross amount of damage if you get them all in range. Between Scions, Translocation, and Aquilor, that's not a problem. The big issue between them and Longstrikes is that you need to be much closer to shoot, which means it's quite likely that they get charged a lot earlier. I would prefer to have 2 or even 3 units of Aetherwings if I was going towards Hurricanes, just to have extra charge protection. They also suffer a bit against things with good saves (many big Heroes are on 3+, which can be hard to chew through), so maybe getting some Mortal Wounds in there is a good idea.
The only issue with the Aquilor + Anvils is that both require Command Points, so if you're teleporting around the board you're burning through them a bit quickly, so just use the teleport as a last ditch option.
For those 400 points, like I said I'd want more MWs and Aetherwings, but getting a good screening unit is solid too. 20 Sequitors is strong, so is 10 Evocators. 6 Palladors isn't that scary or tanky, but as you said they go pretty well with the Aquilor and it's thematic.
Thanks for your feedback, really appreciate it! I could also take 9 Prosecutors and a Everblaze Comet or another Unit of Aetherwings and an additional CP. I will try some variations and report back ;)
Also I´m feeling that Prosecutors, Libs and maybe even Aquilor/Palladors might get a buff in a potential new battletome. We all know that our internal balance is not perfect. Nothing to bet on but as you said, even if they remain subpar choices at least they are thematic (and still able to not auto-lose in a lot of matches).

Whats your and everyones Opinion on Hurricanes vs. Longstrikes?
What I like about the list:
- Number of dice rolled is disgusting
- Good screening and positioning with aetherwings and free gryph hound is strong against deepstrikes/alpha strikes
- Very high mobility
- Nice tricks up my sleeve with translocation prayer and Aquilor CA
Also I´ve got 400 Points of flexible contetns which I´m not sure aboaut.
Right now I´m planning on using 400Pts of Palladors which synergize nicely with the Lord Aquilor, are stronger against high save models and should get to their chosen target assuming two to three salvos of hurricanes are enough to decimate screens.
I could also use 12 Prosecutors with Javelins, who are fast, quite tanky (with lantern) and share the woderful 18" range. This would turn my list into a massive hit-and run tactic, which I´m unsure of if I like it. They don´t need the teleportation thanks to fly and 12" move with 3d6 charge. Altough 12 are quite unwidely. They are a great target for another round of herophase shooting
Looking forward to your opinions. Thanks a lot!

Thanks! Appriciate the help.
What is your take on chaos knights? Or anyone elses opinion for that matter? I do love the models!
Oh funny that you ask of Knights speficially. I did try to make them work in several of my last games:
My List was some variation of:
GUO with Bell
Gutrot
Lord on Mount
Two Sorcerers (Blades and Plague Squall)
10 BK
5 BK
30 PB
5 Knights + 5 Knights OR 10 Knights
What I found:
- They move pretty damn fast with 10" Basemove, Bell, Run+Charge and +1 to Runs and Charges
- Unfortunately they can´t fly and with nearly no way of deleting screens from range had to charge the screen or charge nothing at all
- Thats one reason why I prefer the (counter intuitive) split in two units of 5; gives more flexibility; also 10 are quite hard to move around and attack with as they lack fly
- On the Charge they do about 8 Wounds with the Lords CA and an additional 6-7MW with Blades
- Blades are unreliable and you are not always in range to cast it given their stron movement
- If you can´t kill your target with the initial charge you are stuck, dont do a lot of damage and have to retreat or act as an anvil instead of a hammer
- They are quite resilient with 15 Wounds, 4+ Save and a 5++ against mortals. If you don´t present jucier targets a spellcasting opponent will have struggle killing them all (not giving good targets includes having PBs and GUO in the opponents face as well); so they are a pretty good anvil against MW heavy armies
- The -1 Bravery debuff never mattered but this might change with gloomspite (another fellwater troggoth running should be really nice). You could combine it with appropriate Command Trait and Artifact on Lord for a -4 (or 5?) Bravery Debuff Bubble.
Heres an analysis of their damage output; hopefully you can read it. It tells you what weapon does what average damage against what save under what condition. I do have the same analysis for several other units. It disregards movement and resiliency but I feel what nurgle lacks the most is a solid hammer, so I found it quite helpful.
Having said that: I´m not sure if the unit is worth it. Drones do the same damage with Locus and more with Locus and GUO Command (and thats compared to charging Knights!) As you are taking a GUO anyways you would save the 140 Points for the Lord on Mount. So 460 (for Lord, 2x5 Knights) vs. 400 (for 2x3 Drones), saving you 60 Points and keeping the same or better offensive output. Defensively they are quite close as well. Footprint is more or less the same. Drones move slower but have fly. Knights are more buffable. If you take a Harbringer of Decay they are very resilient....
Sorry for my unstructured thougts, as you can see I´m not very sure myself. Maybe others can share their experiences.

Hi everyone! Thinking about bringing the Nurgle back on the table! I have some questions i would love the more experienced players to answer. All questions are Aimed for 2k games.
- how do they fair competitivly? Any lists that seem to be solid that have placed fairly high for you?
- What is your go to list? (that got a punch but maybe not 100% optimized)
How do they play with SoD?
I own these models painted and ready as of today, so lists with mostly these would be the Dreams!
- GUO (magnets on all weapons)
- 60 Plaugebearers
9x Drones
9x Nurglings
Any recommendations on were to go next? Add SoD? Stay Deamon Heavy? I'm thinking as a competitive player atm. Will try and use them in a tournament in 1 month!
This is something i have been working on it uses most of what i have and like... what do you think?
Overal tactics:
- Prince with Drones
- warriors on back objective
- Spume + 10x Kings combo were they are needed
Daemon Prince of Nurgle (160)
Great Unclean One (340) - Bile Blade & Doomsday Bell Poxbringer
Herald of Nurgle (120)
Gutrot Spume (140)
------
10 x Chaos Warriors (180) - Hand Weapon & Shield
30 x Plaguebearers (320)
10 x Putrid Blightkings (320)
6 x Plague Drones (400)
Total: 1980
Thank you in advance!
Your List is not much different than mine (the Post above yours).
In my experience Gutrot + 10 Kings is an auto take. It gives flexibility and forces your oponnent to adjust his setup accordingly. Even if the fail their 8+1 Charge in the round they arrive, they give Contagion Points, are a giant threat and I found it very useful to have a hero in enemy backfield for summoning! 30 PB and GUO with Bell seem to be staples as well.
I am not sure if 10 Warriors are worth it for Objective Sitting. 5 BK do have one more wound, are offensively stronger and deal more damage...but are only 5 Models. Anyway, switching out the Warriors with 5 BK, would allow you to take a Endless Spell (Geminids, Vortex). You could even switch the Warriors for10 PBs and leave out the Herald (and summoning him T2 or T3) to add another 3 Drones. Magic isnt our strong point anyways. (Thats why Im debating wheter Blades of Putrefaction is worth it)
Best regards
-
Regarding Drones: I reckon they are a staple for our fast mover offensive slot.
Assuming a List with 30PB and 10 PB as Anvils, Gutrot Deepstriking 10 BK and a Bell GUO and space for one Wizard of Choice (Blades might be a good idea but is pretty unreliable): Would you run one unit of 6 or two units of 3? Also whats your preferred Locus-Hero? I do like the idea of Slimux but am afraid, that he wont be able to keep up.
List I´m thinking of is:
Allegiance: Chaos
Leaders
Great Unclean One (340)
- General
- Bile Blade and Doomsday Bell
- Trait: Pestilent Breath OR Grandfahters Blessing?
- Artefact: The Witherstave
- Lore of Virulence: Sumptuous Pestilence OR Favored Poxes?
Gutrot Spume (140)
Horticulous Slimux (220) OR LOA with Rustfang (No Witherstave?)
Festus the Leechlord (140) OR a Herald with Favored Poxes?
- Lore of Malignance: Blades of Putrefaction (Blades worht it? Even when taking 2x3 Drones?)
Battleline
30 x Plaguebearers (320)
10 x Plaguebearers (120)10 x Putrid Blightkings (320)

Say I take Grandfather's Blessing trait (start of your hero phase, move cycle of corruption forward/back)
As far as I know, you can resolve "start of your hero phase" abilities in any order you wish. Is that correct?
Say at the start of the round, cycle advances to 6. (start of your hero phase, d3 enemies d3 wounds). First thing I do at the start of my hero phase is trigger that. I then use my trait to move the cycle forward. It is still the start of my hero phase. Now at the start of their hero phase (which it still is) nurgle units heal d3 wounds.
Is this legal?
As far as I know and as far as it was discussed on this Forum before: Yes it is - makes this CA an even better choice than I initially thought (although I don´t find most of the other CAs very useful anyway)

Wounds: 162My thougts:I really like the flexibility and diversity of this list but:- As I am aiming for the Chaos Knights + Lord on Steed Combo as my hammer, shold I invest in tow 10-Man Units of Knights instead of one?- Do I rely on Blades too much? Without Blades the Knights do about 15 Wounds (on the charge with the Lords CA), with Blades they do about 28- Should I drop Rotigus or the Plaguebearers? I know that Rotigus is probably not super competetive but I like the Hero Sniping Potential he brings combined with Plague Squall and our Wheel. Also he gives easy access to our Wheel-Manipulation Spell and seems to be a great distraction.Looking forward to your Feedback! Thanks a lot -

The battalion looks cool to send out min units to suicide explode
Indeed. Also it gives easy access to two strong Unit Options: Ungor Raiders and Bestigors!
Ungor Raiders fulfill three different roles which are rather rare in a Maggotkin Army:
- 6" pre-game movement with large footprint is essential against alpha-strikes
- Cheap bodies with ranged attacks are great objective holders
- Option to Suicide Bomb with 6" pre-game Movement and Battalion
Bestigors are a viable hammer unit: For 300 Points we get 60 Attacks 4/3/-1/1 with inbuild run+charge mechanic and +1 to run and charge. Also a nice target for Blades, especially against horde units like Chainrasps/Skeletons/Marauders/Plaguebearers/Whyches... (where they get +1 to hit).
Unfortunately BoC Heroes wont get to take Traits, Spells or Artefacts because they are neither Mortal nor Rotbringer or Deamons :(

Too strong fot it
Imagine khorne bestigors as mortals, tons of attacks from command abilities and the "portal" ability, broken as witch aelves, oh wait
Isn´t the Portal Ability affecting everything "Khorne" anyway? Regarding Bile Trolls and Plague Ogors I´d say that the Mortal Keyword would really help making them viable...

Is anyone planning to try the Pestilent Throng beastmen battalion?
I would love to but believe it to have the same issue Plaguetouched Warband has. AFAIK both battalions are missing the Nurgle Allegiance and are thus illegal to use in a Maggotkin Allegiance - which I strongly believe is a not intended result of the FAQ but I am now rules writer and so will follow RAW.
If the Battalion was legal, I would play it in fluffy games as a way to include a 30-Man-Unit of very strong Bestigors as Hammers and two min size Units of Ungors to increase my bodycount and to benefit from their explosions. Also would add a Shaman for magic support and as he or another hero is necessary for the Battalion. This would amount to about 1/4 of our army, leaving plenty of room for other goodies.
I would love for beastment (and troggoth and ogors) to have the mortal keyword as they are in fact mortal and not daemons? This would make the choice more tempting for competetive play. But maybe this might even be too strong.

@Maturin What exactly is your Skyborne List at 1.500 Pts? How would you expand it to 2.000?
