Good news everyone! New FAQ dropped doubling-back on the Flaming Weapon King combo. Looks like wet flaming weapons are back on the menu, boys.
-
Under Grand Strategies, the new GHB states: "After you have picked your army, you must pick 1 grand strategy from the list below and record it on your army roster." In, for example, the Idoneth Deepkin battletome, it states the follow: "after you have picked your army, you can pick 1 of the grand strategies below" Does this trump the rule from the GHB, allowing you to use an army specific ones in addition to the GHB ones? And I guess the same extends to Battle Tactics, too. I'm seeing mixed messages so I'd be interested what the community thinks. Maybe it will be FAQ'd, maybe it's down to the TO.
-
If I have a list that has 90 - 100 spare points, is it worth upgrading the Soulrender to Elathain or am I just better off taking Aetherwings? (Or just rethinking the whole list lol) I find this happens way too often.

From my limited experience, you keep the sharks alive by screening with the Thralls! Thralls are our cheapest roadblock, which are still quiet expensive if they're just there to die, but some lists you need them to fill battleline anyway. Luckily they slap back, if they live, so people can be nervous about charging them if they can't wipe them. Also if you're playing conservatively, Thralls can become quite tanky using clever placement of the boat ward, Leviadons, Thrallmasters, Soulrenders etc. So if you're playing shooting heavy you can maybe afford to play this way. But compared to Death armies? Yeah they're just gonna fall over a lot easier. 😅
-
Just a shame they've put in the Soulscryer instead of the Soulrender right when they've swapped in list popularity. You'd almost think they're trying to shift underused models or something! 😁

Were people not already playing Lotann this way? I thought the edit was just for added clarity but it was pretty widely accepted he can give out any buff to any unit once. The biggest surprise for me is they haven't changed his aura to exclude mounts. Must be intentional if they didn't FAQ it. Either that or I'm overestimating GW's competence. 😅
-
The app still tells me my Tidecaster needs to take the "Protective Barrier" spell when I select the Nautilar subfaction, so I wouldn't assume it knows what's right!

Wait, really? If so I'm gonna blame the lack of free mount trait on my Leviadon is why I went 1-4 in a tournament a week ago. 😅

You get -1 for unleash hell yes, but you also get +1 for Void Drum and +1 if they're within 9", which they have to be for Unleash Hell to trigger. So they're on a 2+.

I've got my first tournament since before Covid this weekend and my first time using Idoneth at one. Been limited to what I have painted that works in the new book and settled on this: I know it's not a meta list and honestly having the Eidolon and a Leviadon in the same list was viable 3 weeks ago and doesn't really work now, but it's what I've got to work with. The plan is to flip the tides and take second turn against melee armies and choose not to flip the tide against shooting lists and hope to null out one of their turns. My recent practise games felt like I ran out of steam by turn 3 so I'm hoping to capitalise on the king's ability turn 1 and high tide turn 2. Win or lose at least most games will be quick!

Same! It gives great results! Here's my Leviadon's base with it in full effect:

I'd be interested in how you do against Seraphon. I played 3 games over the weekend, 1 against Nurgle which was very close and 2 against 2 different coalesced Seraphon lists which I lost horrifically. Army-wide -1 damage and fitting what feels like twice as many wounds on the board puts us at a huge disadvantage. I can't say I agree with this many kings in a list. 7 wounds without a ward dies to a stiff breeze, despite their awesome traits, and as established earlier you can only use the king's ability once per game even if you stack them. You'd be better off replacing at least one of them with Volturnos to give the +1 attack, too. Also, I don't think I'd ever run a list without an Isharann hero, the rituals are unbelievable value.
-
If it's not a remake of the little guys living in the Shaggoth's hair then I don't know what to believe any more.

I don't want to shoot anyone down here, but shall we avoid over-analysing drips of information, the majority of which are rumours with little-to-no evidence to back them up, for another 24 hours until we can see what actual content is in the book? I get it's fun to speculate, but chalking up our fictional place in the meta seems a little bit... premature. 😅 I just want the units I've been painting the last months to still be usable, is that too much to ask?

Deepkin Leviadon Void Drum Clarification
Siorra replied to Art Vandelay's question in Rules Questions
It's the second one, the enemy needs to be wholly within 12" to give the Namarti +1. Of course this may be different with the new book being released soon!
