  1. Yeah makes sense. Bloodletters strike a nice balance then, with 10 bodies and a 5+ save and bravery 10
  2. Yeah i been torn on taking blood warriors in the list, they're more survivable but bodies could be important for claiming an objective. Tough desision
  3. I have 20 points left, not enough for Blood warriors unfortunately. I'm just gonna use them as a screen, objective grabber and blood tithe so they don't need to be that good!
  4. Playing some 750 pt games next week, so this is the list i came up with: Daemon prince with axe, wings, crimson crown and devastating blow 10 bloodletters x 2 10 blood reavers Soul grinder I was definitely gonna take the soul grinder, so i ended up going with a daemon slant. Went with the daemon prince over the bloodsecrator, as i wasnt sure he would do enough for me in such a small game. Any thoughts?
  5. Thats pretty much what i thought, but i wasnt sure if LoN might have some rule that allowed them to recast
  6. Played a nagash spell portal list for the first time last night, and i have a couple of questions. 1. If nagash fails to cast or i unbind a spell, can he attempt again? I'm still not 100% on how magic works, being a khorne player 2. Do spell portals need to be physically placed? Ie. Surround my heroes with bodies so they can't place the portals within 3" of them
  7. Played a game the other night, and the guy seemed convinced you could get 4 attacks on bloodletters. Bloodsecrator and wrathmongers can bring you to 3 - am i missing something? Also, looking at potential list building i'm guessing the wok thirster CT + bloodstoker + auto 6 for run, is a common way of pinging big meaty units of daemons about the board?
  8. Thanks @Kevlar1972 i was hoping i could drop a load of beasts into my khorne army - be a good way of building up to a full force of beasts on their own
  9. To be honest i just wanna get my beast on cos i love the models! I'm fairly new to aos so i do struggle as to why this would break the rules anyway - they get the khorne keyword, and i thought allies could be in a warscroll battalion and not count towards allies allowance? Please someone educate me!
  10. So, will i be able to include this in my khorne army soon..?
  11. Shadespire units are cheap, although they are unique and riptooth is quite useful
  12. Only have one slaughterpriest atm so no gore pilgrims for me yet. Thinking of just starting my Insensate rage bloodthirster on the table from the get go. Probably making him general, with slaughterborn to help his 4+ to hit and armour of scorn to give him some extra protection
  13. I played a 2k game the other night with main goal of summoning a Bloodthirster asap, using blade of endless bloodshed and blood sacrifice for extra blood tithe. I got him down at the start of turn 4, which was a bit too late to really do anything much as i thought. Over 4 turns i managed 12 BT - 6 from my units dieing, 1 from a unit of morghast, 4 from the blade of endless bloodshed and 1 from blood sacrifice. I reckon drip feeding blood letter reinforcements, murderlust and auto unbind are better uses of the BT.
  14. Interestingly the email i had from gw about the nova previews says "age of sigmars next battletome". Is this referring to wrath and rapture? Or the beasts of chaos book leaked beforehand?
  15. Hope so, guess this will be something they quietly do on the webstore? I've never paid attention to repacks before
  16. Love me some beastmen, so i'm very tempted to dive aboard the hype train - but don't all the models come with square bases still, or are we expecting a bunch of repacks?
  17. If it is beastmen coming, then a start collecting set wouldnt go a miss
  18. @TheAdequateWargamer I was in the area last weekend so i popped into firestorm for the first time and had a nose around at the armies. Saw some really cool stuff, i recognise your bloodthirster with the blood base - very distinct, love it! Have yet to do an aos event, but this might be the closest one for me. I might be mistaken, but did i see a khorne army with a stardrake model in it?
  19. @Ravinsild i view my reavers as nothing more than blood tithe atm, stick a few buffs on and fling them in there. Watch them die, collect the tithe, and fling another one in. I'm currently only taking blood warriors cos they look awesome, and i have a them. If i started again, id probably just go with chaos warriors
  20. Its a large investment, for maybe 1 or 2 extra blood tithe a turn, but could be a lot of fun and the slaughterpriests are still increasing the portal range as well. Being able to constantly pop new units all over the place is great for objective grabbing too
  21. I did consider it, but i went with slaughterborn to try and make the most of the blade of endless bloodshed. Only netted me 1 blood tithe in the end so possibly not worth it. I'm having a mad idea of trying a couple of slaughterpriests with blood sacrifice, and a cheap "blood bank" unit for even more blood tithe.
  22. Sooo i played 1000 pts last night against slaanesh slaves to darkness, with this list Bloodsecrator [140pts] Bloodstoker [80pts] Lord of Khorne on Juggernaut [140pts] 3. Slaughterborn, 4. The Blade of Endless Bloodshed, General Blood Warriors [100pts]: 5 Blood Warriors, Goreaxe and Gorefist Bloodreavers [70pts]: Bloodreavers [70pts] Bloodcrushers [150pts] Chaos Warriors [90pts] Chaos Knights [160pts]:5 Chaos Knights, Chaos Glaive, 1000 pts on the nose. We played duality of death, but neither had any interest in going for the objectives. I won the roll off and gave my opponent the first turn, with both of us tentatively moving our forces up the board. Then i won priority getting the double turn, and charged in with my knights, crushers, lord and a reaver unit. The knights ran through a small unit of chaos warriors, losing 1 in return, the reavers killed a few warriors and were wiped out in return. The lord and opponents daemon prince took bites out of each other, and the crushers killed a few gors. In their turn 2 the remaining warriors charged my reavers, which was a stalemate and his foot lord charged my bloodstoker and failed to do a single wound! My lord managed to wipe out his gors, which netted me 2 blood tithe giving me 4 to use in my next turn. So i summoned 2 units of 5 bloodletters, 1 of which got the charge and joined the melee in the middle of board. My chaos warriors charged his lord, taking him down to a wound and my knights ran down his daemon prince losing 2 in return. My opponents 3rd turn saw him use depravity points to summon 5 daemonettes and a Herald chariot, which got the charge off on my blood warriors killing 2 of them. My reavers finished off the last of his warriors, and my warriors finished off the lord. This left 1 chaos knight and a sorcerer, along with the freshly summoned daemons so my opponent called it there. You learn more from defeat than victory as they say, but my takeaways were 1. My army had a lot of bonuses for charging, so that double turn that allowed me to get 4 charges off was massive i think. Along with the bloodsecrator, my guys had a lot of buffs running which my opponents army did not. 2. Loved the Glaive knights! As long as they keep charging, the 2 dam -1 rend is very effective. Suited this list, and i need more! 3. I geared my list towards summoning, but in the end it had no impact on the game. I did generate 7-8 blood tithe, so a Bloodthirster was on the cards which i may have to attempt at some point. 4. Wasnt that impressed with the slaanesh rules tbh. Heroes were unable to use command abilities if they were too close to one another, and depravity points seemed a bit fussy to me. Give me blood tithe any day. 5. 2nd game running i've been disappointed with blood warriors. I'm not sure why they cost more than chaos warriors, perhaps i'm missing something? Enjoyed this list, as it suited my aggressive style so can't wait to use it again. Not sure if my opponent enjoyed it, bit hes given me plenty of pastings in 40k so i don't feel too bad!
  23. Many thanks @TheOtherJosh, trying to get these things straight in my mind before i play tonight
