  1. So slaanesh, bonesplitterz, and now potentially this...... I hate the idea of a community or tournament comp but maybe getting the ITC involved and just completely rejecting a battletome for matched play and using the previous one might be a cool idea. Imagine how happy bonesplitterz players would be with their old rules back? Have every fyreslayer player just refuse the new battletome if it's hot garbo

  2. Soooo, maybe I'm just being impatient, but is anyone else who preordered through gw still waiting for their stuff to even ship? Yes I know covid troubles, and yes I should have gone third party, just want my big guys.

     

    Edit: I'm in the US

  3. Thinking about quick, paragraph or less rules page way to fix the army without touching warscrolls, I think I have an idea. Rather than what ever mega is your general determining your armies tribe, what if for each type you brought, gave the army all of those tribe specific abilities. Just a warstomper? Than your 9 mancrushers get just those abilities. Bring the stomped and the kraken eater? Than your 6 or so man crushers get both tribes buffs. And so on. This is balanced out by the fact that for each mega you take, you get fewer little dudes to even benefit from the traits, but gives multiple mega armies a reasonable functionality they lack otherwise.  Thoughts?

  4. As longshanks currently works you can't even walk over a one row deep screen of models on 25mm bases with the stomper and krakeneater, and can squeeze it in by a few tenths of a mm with the other guy. I know there's been a few underwhelming battletomes here and there but if one ever needed a day one patch......

  5. Just a quick rules questions , in a Zilfin list, the there's always a breeze rule grants an additional normal move in the hero phase, and since on the boats, fly high replaces a normal move, can a Zilfin boat fly high using there's always a breeze?

    do you really really need to get some Infernal guys in the mix?....

    Maybe find something cheap to boost the model count? 10 Ungors for 60 points that aesthetically fit (sadly, they are rubbish on the battlefield, but they are cheap).

    I'd go with some ironsworn. Groups of 10, a bunch of them. If your opponent is running blocks of things like witch aelves,  bloodreavers, blightkings, plague monks etc,  any unit with a high volume of hits, the mortal wound on a 6 natty save is going to take chunks out of them, even if you lose a unit. They can also do that beautifully when chaffing up long range artillery, maybe some fireglaives behind them so you can nuke things as they get close. That way you can leave the bulls to go out and be play mock gore grunta while the big guns clean up and keep them safe

  7. Speaking of the jabberslythe, I've been toying with a concept trying to do as much backlash damage as possible. The GUO and plague monks both have built in damage reflection,  sprinkle with some allied wrathmongers and a jabberslythe or two, the bloated with corruption trait and bile heart artifact, blammo, your opponent will flinch with each attack. 

    A good list no, but fun maybe

    I have a tournament coming up in November and below is what I have been running to good success, but I am thinking of changing one unit of 5 blight kings to a Verminlord corrupter and giving him a sword of judgement. That would take it to an even 2k. Thoughts on that?

     

    Allegiance: Nurgle
    Mortal Realm: Ghur
    Great Unclean One (340)
    - General
    - Bile Blade & Doomsday Bell
    - Trait: Grandfather's Blessing
    - Artefact: Tome of a Thousand Poxes
    - Lore of Virulence: Glorious Afflictions
    Gutrot Spume (140)
    Harbinger of Decay (160)
    - Artefact: The Witherstave
    Lord of Blights (140)
    Sorcerer (120)
    - Lore of Foulness: Plague Squall
    10 x Putrid Blightkings (320)
    5 x Putrid Blightkings (160)
    5 x Putrid Blightkings (160)
    5 x Putrid Blightkings (160)
    Blight Cyst (220)
    Quicksilver Swords (20)

    Total: 1940 / 2000
    Extra Command Points: 2
    Allies: 0 / 400
    Wounds: 143

     

    Maybe replace the quicksilver swords with the soul snare shackles. Combined with spume they make for great opportunities to outflank your opponent . Verminlord with sword seems like a great hero killer on paper but I always found he died rather quickly in my pestilens lists.

    How do people take multiple trees?

    A few ways. Horticulus can grant you a bonus one. You can buy additional for 7 contagion points a pop. Also, the nurgle menagerie allows you to place an additional tree each turn as long as horticulus is still on the board.

    Can you use the command ability of a single model multiple times? I thought not and why the Glottkin wasn't included in the FAQ as he's unique, but you could have a couple of the others floating around to spam it

  11. I was implying spamming the glottkins command ability multiple times in a round, granting multiple attacks, as it doesn't have the squirrelly bloodsecrator language. Since glottkin is the only unit with a command ability that was not explicit stated 'this doesn't stack multuple times on a unit' , the gain of the this ability might be a unique, tho entirely different new tool to use

  12. Gamesworkshop needs to improve their methods of fanboy seduction. So very much teasing, so little pay out. Maybe I'm just bitter that I won't get a nurgle release by cold and flu season. Maybe something is hidden in the logo video, quick, some one pop that thing in a video editing software and fiddle with the contrast! That can't be all
