    I bring the latest rumour engine: tG3FyX9aTo25JN8I.jpg.58a02b021c7982cf757bb62e031387ee.jpg

    Looks like its either being casually held across the shoulders but the hand position is too odd for that

    I say its on the wrong angle and is a staff/halberd type weapon with mace on the end being held in a more martial arts style

  2. Reason its popular atm is a few things

    1: Most wizards can take it as its a universal endless spell and only 70pts

    2: The Rend 1 bubble is 6" within and is for shooting and melee. Makes even basic shooting good and elite shooting even more deadly. Plus stacking that rend in combat especially if Booty hunters vs Galivants is going to have a big impact

    3: Insta kill a model on a one. Like..dead dead, unless they have a rule like Gortek/Kragnos/Megas/Morathi where you take wounds rather than removed. So technically a 170pt model (battle mage plus spell) hell even a Madcapshaman with purple sun, can 1 shot Arhcaon. (I did it the other day with a bloodwrack medusa)

    4: Large base size can get in the way of stuff

    It is really good return for its points. Even if you dont instakill anything the rend 1 can be worth it for many armies 

    Just remember its all models in the range so can kill/debuff the users stuff too

  3. latest experience with DOK

    Played Vs Archaon on Sat, high lights of the game were:

    1: Purple sun: doing -1 AS to him turn 2-3 means my shooting was deadly and Combined with sisters, wiped his army out top of 2 (He went 1st and I got the double) 

    Purple Sun also killed Archaon turn 3

    2: Attack on death is awesome. He alpha striked knights and Gorebeast chariot and both were slapped down

    3: Rally on 4+ is great. The Gorebeast took 5 stalkers to 1 and I rallied them back , and rallied back 4 sisters later on

    4: MSU Worked well, with being able to splinter units off to deal with threats 

    5: MW on 2+ is dirty

    How does people feel about 1 unit of witches in Zenthar kay army? 

    I feel like witches dont do enough, my local meta is filled with the new beastmen, mawcrushers on 2+ saves, sylvaneth with Alarielle and that unlimited casting range setup.

    So I will be testing only rolling with a unit and a gladiatrix

    I have to get a arcane tome in this list in order to get 2 casts.

    Leaders
    Bloodwrack Medusa (130)
    - Artefact: Shadow Stone
    - Lore of Shadows: Mindrazor
    Hag Queen (110)
    - Prayer: Crimson Rejuvenation
    High Gladiatrix (90)
    Hag Queen on Cauldron of Blood (270)
    - General
    - Command Trait: Zealous Orator
    - Artefact: Arcane Tome (Universal Artefact)
    - Prayer: Sacrament of Blood

    Battleline
    10 x Blood Sisters (280)
    - Reinforced x 1
    10 x Blood Sisters (280)
    - Reinforced x 1
    5 x Blood Stalkers (180)
    30 x Witch Aelves (345)
    - Pairs of Sacrificial Knives
    - Reinforced x 2

    Units
    5 x Khinerai Heartrenders (95)
    5 x Khinerai Heartrenders (95)

    Endless Spells & Invocations
    Heart of Fury (45)
    Purple Sun of Shyish (70)

    Core Battalions
    *Warlord

    Additional Enhancements
    Artefact

    Total: 1990 / 2000
    Reinforced Units: 4 / 4
    Allies: 0 / 400
    Wounds: 120
    Drops: 10

    Issue I see with it is you are wasting the Cobra Kai trait. That could be another 15 Blood sisters which attack on death and do MW on 2+. Even units of 5 Sisters is good atm

    So what do you think the best way to abuse the new Galarian Veterans mechanic (I know that's a pokemon region, I'm not changing it) so we get the benefits but none of the downsides?

    Zainthar Kai fight on death to exploit the hell out of the +1 damage battalion?

    Heart of Fury to completely negate the benefit of the +1 damage battalion?

    Medusa/Hagg queen general to avoid making snakes battleline so they get the +1 damage against other batteline without being +1 damage against them?

    2 damage lifetaker units chasing down their veterans with a 14" move and doing 10 damage with just the turn 3 Bloodrite buff, up to 20 with Mindrazor?

    So many ways to get value at none of the cost!

    Personally I am going to try this list:
    1995pts
    Army Faction: Daughters of Khaine
    Subfaction: Zainthar Kai
    Grand Strategy: Bloodthirsty Zealots
    Triumph: Inspired

    LEADERS
    Bloodwrack Medusa (130)* - Spells: Mindrazor
    Hag Queen on Cauldron of Blood (270)* - General - Command Traits: Zealous Orator - Artefacts of Power: Crown of Woe - Prayers: Sacrament of Blood

    Bloodwrack Medusa (130)* - Artefacts of Power: Crystal Heart - Spells: Shroud of despair

    BATTLELINE
    Blood Sisters (280) - Gorgai
    Blood Sisters (280) - Gorgai
    Blood Stalkers (180) - Krone
    Blood Stalkers (180) - Krone
    Blood Stalkers (180) - Krone

    OTHER

    Khinerai Heartrenders (95)
    Khinerai Heartrenders (95)*

    ENDLESS SPELLS & INVOCATIONS
    1 x Heart of Fury (45)
    1 x Purple Sun of Shyish (70)
    1 x Quicksilver Swords (90)

    CORE BATTALIONS *Warlord, Expert Conquers, Booty Hunters
    3 x stalkers in expert conquerors 2 x sisters and 1 x khinari in booty hunters

    So Stalkers are my 3W unit to keep back objectives while I can push with Sisters


    Khinari score 4 of my 5 battle tactics so they avoid the enemy to do that until they need to charge in to complete grand strat

    Purple sun for yolo vs big stuff, block off space but mainly for Rend 1, as mixed with Mindrazor (if I can get them both off) and Booty hunters thats 3x2+/2+ Rend 3 D3 lol. but tbh ill never get them all off but options there

    Quicksilver to be boosted with crystal heart and go hero hunting as its great vs some big threats out there as it goes off every hero phase 

  6. LRK points changes:

     

    Stonemage: 130 to 120 -10
    Lyrior Uthralle: 215 to 200 -15
    Myari Lightcaller 240 to 250 +10
    Sanctum of Amyntok 60 to 50 -10
    Rune of petrification 75 to 40 - 35
    Cathallar 145 to 110 -35
    Ballista 125 to 135 +10

    Maybe a new hero coming soon as theres an entry for Scinari Enlightener for 160pts
