    Technically it's RAW and the FAQ that said to treat it as 6+ got deleted. It is strange though.

    That's true, won't take long for someone to knock models out of your reavers though.

    If reavers make 6 save rolls, that's 5 dead (average) and a lot will probably run.

    If warriors make 6 save rolls, that's 3 wounds. 1 dead, 1 half health who might run away - they do cost more though

    Yeah makes sense. Bloodletters strike a nice balance then, with 10 bodies and a 5+ save and bravery 10

    Yeah, not much you can do with 90 points unfortunately, unless you start branching into slaves to darkness models.

    Another option is a bloodstoker to get a little more reach on your bloodletting but to be honest I think you're better with the reavers.

    Otherwise, I think your list looks decent, a soul grinder will be a beast in 750 points and so will the daemon prince.

    If you have the model, a chaos lord on daemonic mount would be pretty good too, useless command ability for you but can still take the crown, hits hard, moves pretty fast and a bit more survivable than the daemon prince. Then you can swap the reavers for the blood warriors. If not, I don't think it would make a huge difference at 750!

    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

    In my experience, bloodreavers without a way to get extra attacks or battleshock immunity are pretty bad.

    How many points do you have left over? I would probably try and drop them for something a bit more survivable.

    That said, I haven't really played many games below 1000 so they might do ok

    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!

    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?

    They cannot attempt to cast the same spell (in Matched Play) unless they explicitly have a rule that allows them to do so.

    Thats pretty much what i thought, but i wasnt sure if LoN might have some rule that allowed them to recast

    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

    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?

    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!

    What are the cheapest (points wise) but most effective Allied units Khorne can field as expendable chaff to exchange for Blood Tithe?

    Example - Brayheard unit of 1 Tuskor Chariot is  Raiders is 60 pts, could field 5 for 300 pts, where they can kamikaze at enemy line.

     

    Shadespire units are cheap, although they are unique and riptooth is quite useful

    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

    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.

    Darren Watson is doing quite well at Pompey pillage with the below list, mainly revolves around stacking buffs on the death bringer for multiple D6 mortal wound outputting the sword of judgement

    *gore pilgrims also on the list

    Thats a lot of attacks!

    @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?

    @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

    I had blood sacrifice on 1 slaughterpriest and my general with blade of endless blodshed. Then a bunch of 10 man reaver units. After my turn 3 (I got priority turn 3) I had 8 blood tithe points. Granted the tzeentch player fed me 2 pts by spawning a unit of 2 tzaangors ans then 1 brimstone horror.  On the other hand, blood sacrifice only went off twice so bringing 2-3 priests with it and/or maybe gore pilgrims and those daemons will be bursting out.

    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

    Summoning is super strong in the current meta. I think you could have made your list even better by giving your general "Violent Urgency". I'm not sure if Gore Cleaver works right anymore.

    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.

    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!
