  1. Going to take my new Bonereapers army against them.
  2. Played two games this weekend with this Praetorians list: Katakros Soulmason 2 x 20 Mortek Guard w/ Blades 5 x Deathriders w/ Blades 2 x Crawler Harvester Carrion and Shrieker Nexus Beat a Hunter heavy Winterleaf Sylvaneth list and a Hallowheart Hurricanum/Multicaster list w/ 30 Phoenix Guard and a Phoenix. In both cases the Crawlers did the most valuable work, pegging the Arch Revenant in the top of round one to take away the Hunter support, and wounding the Hurricanum badly enough in turn one to prevent it channeling before systematically picking out the casters in the following rounds. The Sylvaneth game was still close. 2 packs of six hunters and 70 Dryads on the board to start, with a Wraith hiding in the woods summoning more each turn. I lost the Harvester, one Crawler and the Deathriders in this game but managed to win. The Hallowheart list folded like a lawnchair once I crippled the casters. One unit of 20 guard with Harvester support and a constant -1/-2 to hit from the Scrollbearer and the Nexus completely neutered the PG unit, even with Phoenix support. The Harvester basically killed the Phoenix on his own while keeping the Mortek Guard up and running, and then piled in to help finish the job. Tabled the opponent and ended up losing only eight Mortek Guard in the end, most of those to a unit of 40 Swordsmen with Burning Ward on them exploding. I'm happy with this list overall, but I think the Shrieker is redundant, and the Mason despite having two casts really wasn't effective. I'll likely drop them both and add in another Crawler or maybe a Liege.
  3. I just had to say that putting Katakros together was a bit of a nightmare. Trying to orient the feet, legs and hip glue joints so that they will align with the square holes in the base and still connect the arm to the shield was frustrating as hell.
  4. Crawler should be hilarious against Skaven.
  5. Yeah wasn't impressed with the Mortek guard sword arms either.
  6. Has anyone assembled the boneshaper yet? These arms don't have any sort of fit or positive connection at all...
  7. The two special shots, Cursed Stele and Cauldron of Torment, don't use a standard attack procedure, and the text for both only say to choose a unit within range. Is Line of sight still required?
  8. Speaking of terrain, as written do the two Crawler special shots require line of sight? They just say select a unit within range. It's not a standard attack procedure. Edit - Asked this in the rules forum as well, curious to get opinions.
  9. 3D print them, most any city has access to a makerspace or a 3D printing service now.
  10. Yeah no idea why I thought that, I think I was equating the 5++ vs MWs that Archai had with Nagash. All good, thanks!
  11. Can someone spell out the order of saves when an Immortis uses Soulbound Protector to protect a hero? Is it hit -> wound -> hero saves -> Soulbound Protector roll -> Immortis saves or does the hero not get to save first? edit: Same as Nagash, nevermind. Just a brainfart.
  12. I liked the Mason to get Soul-Guide on the Catapults, which is where I imagine he'll be parked. I could potentially drop the Harvester and run both casters? Drop to one unit of 30 Guard, split the Deathriders like you suggested... I love the fact that this army doesn't have one obvious build!
  13. Yeah I go back and forth. The MWs aren't in addition to the regular -2 rend 2D hit so I see them as good, but not great. In this list I need my casters doing damage too so not sure what kind of buffing I'll be doing. Totally agree though, that both options are attractive. Yeah it's an issue. I can always use one casting attempt from Arkhan to generate the points but that's not ideal. Not sure what I could drop, I think the Crawlers really need to be in pairs at least. Maybe reduce one guard unit to 10 and take a Boneshaper? Not as good as the Kavalos for RDP but still another guaranteed +1.
  14. I think I have my first 2K list sorted. My only issue is lack of RDP points, but I think it's a solid list overall: Petrifex Elite Arkhan the Black Mortisan Soulmason - General, Mighty Archaeossian, Godbone Armour, Drain Vitality Mortek Guard x 20 - Blades, Necrophoros, Hekatos Mortek Guard x 20 - Blades, Necrophoros, Hekatos Kavalos Deahtriders x 10 - Spears, Necrophoros, Hekatos Gothizzar Harvester - Sickles Mortek Crawler Mortek Crawler Soulstealer Carrion Bone-Tithe Nexus 2k points exactly. Thoughts?
