Something they touched on in the facehammer podcast, is that this is almost like the finished version of the battletome. While the previous one was like the final draft? I think ours is the first one to reach this state, and until the other books get their final version then things might be a bit unbalanced. Things could look very different in 12 months time

Had my first game with the new book, using this mainly daemon list -
Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage
- General
- Command Trait : Mage Eater
- Artefact : Armour of Scorn
Skullmaster, Herald of Khorne
- Artefact : Skullshard Mantle
Slaughterpriest - bronzed flesh
Slaughterpriest - killing frenzy
Bloodsecrator
10 x Blood Warriors
- Goreaxe & Gorefist
- 1 x Goreglaives
6 x Bloodcrushers
10 x Bloodletters
10 x Bloodletters
2 x Skull Cannons
BATTALIONS
Murderhost (160)
ENDLESS SPELLS
Wrath-Axe (60)
Bleeding Icon (40)Played daughters, and relocation orb. Took first turn and then got double turned. Bloodcrushers never got to charge, and Skull cannons got stuck in combat with monsterathi. Didn't get the benefit of the battalion, and the extra Artefact was a waste as i never made a single 6+ wound save. The thirster also fought 4 times and i only got one outrageous carnage off.
Still it was a fairly even contest, and we both took a battering. Wanna change the extra Artefact to something useful next time - thoughts are
IR thirster - reroll saves of 1, +1a, crimson soulstone, 4+ fight first, or hitting heros on 2+
Not sure

Do you mean if it works with Command Abilities? Yes. It certainly does. All Slaughterhosts really do is add Command Abilities. You still need Command Points for them normally but this one essentially gives you one for free.
Thanks. When i read that the crimson crown works on a command ability on a warscroll, i wasnt sure if the slaughterhost command ability counted as its not technically on the warscroll.
Anyway getting one free reapers of vengeance double pile in and attacks per turn is probably quite useful
-
Any chance that the crimson crown works with the slaughterhost command ability? The wording says on the warscroll

Finish Karanak and 3 Bloodcrushers that i started in march.
Build and paint 10 Flesh hounds.
I think thats enough, but if i get time i'll try and finish the Skull altar

Methinks that it has to be wholly within the aura of only one character, I think there was an faq that said that we can’t use overlapping auras
I thought that would probably be the case, but it would be good to confirm it
-
Not sure about this but does a unit have to be wholly within the bubble of one hero to get the locus reroll or can it be from two? Ie. If a big bloodletter blob was too big for one hero, could two overlapping hero bubbles give the the locus? Did that even make sense to anyone but me?
-
The bloodmaster ability works with Skull cannons does it? Nice!
-
I gotta say it would be really great if khorne had something like a Bloodthirster that wasnt a hero, as we are so over saturated in this department! I'm hoping i can get Skulltaker or Karanak in my games as the new models are sweet, but its gonna be hard
-
Just so that i'm clear, wholly within is all of the models base within x" of the the edge of the hero's base?

Looking at the Insensate rage bloodthirster warscroll, and isnt the rerolls 1s to hit when you charge pretty pointless with the new daemonic locus?
Not the only place i've seen this now - does the daemonic locus not apply to the daemon hero itself?

So no more 3x killing frenzy or bronzed flesh? Thats a bit of a drag, but hey ho loads of positives
-
I only collect chaos for gw games, and this looks like pure catnip to me. Can't wait to see a lot more of this. Id obviously be more than happy for this to stay chaos only, and have crazy detail to building your warband like the old tables for your mutations and such
-
Bought 3 trolls off @Walrustaco which were received and as advertised - good trade!

That's not as hard as you think.
Just look for a big beastly looking thing on a heavy cav base
I have a finecast Scylla I heated/bent into a lower pose on a heavy cav base with some minor changes that I use as a Korgi.
I have two from the old starter set, and i have a couple of old rat ogres i might try and convert - they're not as bulky so i might put two on a base. Just need to find something else - maybe the new trolls could work?

This unit has grown on me recently, and i'm thinking of trying a unit of 4 if they don't get nerfed. Only problem is finding alternative models for them
-
Do you think its too much to hope that the book would have warscrolls for all the units we can take? Chaos Knights, warshrine, slaughterbrute etc...
Be nice to have it all in one place

I wish they will end the bloodsecrator mechanic, replace it with an endless blood prayers, or blood tith summoned tokens, or whatever it is.
That "man" who must hide in the back of the army, and don't run to the enemy.... Not Khornish enough for me !
Endless "something" would really a good thing to replace this mechanic. And Bloodsecrator could become a tanky fighter with some "wholly within" buffs :-).
100% agree on the bloodsecrator. The portal should be a terrain piece, as is the norm these days. Free the banner model to do something else
-
Has they're summonable, i'm thinking they could be another thing to spend bt on. And im assuming that these can't be unbinded so be interesting to see the rules

It's not that they are bad now, it's more that the benefits of running them in blobs of 30 are lower. Before the +1 hit effectively doubled your mortal wounds. Now it's just a handy buff.
Bloodletters hit harder than warriors and reavers, but i must give Skull reapers a go. I've been thinking about chaos warriors as well, possibly with halberds.
Now that the bloodletter mw madness is gone, what units do we have that are genuinely scary in combat? I'm finding lots of things to be kind of meh, especially against ignore rend or extra saves

Don't forget the Chaos Warshrine !!! .... Its ignore wounds bubble and reroll all failed hits only apply to mortals. I feel like we'll be seeing more Warshrines in the coming months, I'm not a great fan of the model but there's plenty of alternatives. I'm cooking one up involving a Khorne themed Herdstone.
I don't know too much about its rules to be honest. But i did consider making one out of a corpse cart, but with skulls instead of corpses. Tbh even corpses work!

So they can get an easy +2 attacks with the portal and Deathbringer, +1 to wound off a juggerlord? Any others?
While bloodletters do get an easy reroll 1s to hit, and can run and charge with the WoK thirster.
I'm still undecided myself on which way i wanna go with my own khorne army. I've been doing a mix, but i guess its best to choose mortal or Daemon?
