Hmmm. Maybe I drop the KoS and get the GoS instead... Really got to protect him though, that'll be a lot of eggs in one squishy basket.

Right lads. That game against the Sylvaneth? That's tomorrow. I've got a list (pretty similar to @relic456's list): Allegiance: Nighthaunt Mortal Realm: Chamon Leaders Knight of Shrouds on Ethereal Steed (140) - General - Trait: Ruler of the Spirit Hosts - Artefact: Rune Blade Reikenor the Grimhailer (180) - Lore of the Underworlds: Spectral Tether Battleline 20 x Chainrasp Horde (160) 20 x Grimghast Reapers (280) Units 10 x Bladegheist Revenants (180) Endless Spells Chronomantic Cogs (60) Total: 1000 / 1000 Extra Command Points: 0 Allies: 0 / 200 Wounds: 63 Reikenor plus Cogs should be a challenge as far as magic goes, the Knight of Shrouds with the Rune Blade should be able to put the hurt on high-save Treelords, I've got chaff with the Chainrasps and some killy power with the Reapers and the Revenants. A) Am I going to regret not having a Guardian of Souls? B) What are those tree-huggers best at and how quickly are they going to wreck my spectral behind?

Tzeentch lunchtime made me absolutely lose it on the bus, so thanks for that guys, got some very odd looks.

They're 90 for 10, aren't they? So 20 for 180?

Hmmm. Thanks! Getting rid of the GoS and adding the Cogs leaves me with 180 points to play with- 12 Glaivewraiths? Another ten Grimghasts? 2 Chainghasts and some Myrnmourn Banshees? I'm a bit miffed the Bladegheists aren't out yet, as 20 of them would fit beautifully!

I have a game against the dreaded Sylvaneth on Friday, 1000 points. I'm quite keen on using something different to what I used in our last game (which was basically Soul Wars + Grimghast Reapers + Glaivewraith Stalkers), so I've included Reikenor and gone hard on magic. Atm I'm looking at 900 points, not sure what to spend the last 100 points on- I quite fancy some Endless Spells, but I'm worried about only having two units. Any thoughts, both on beating Sylvaneth and army composition? At the end of the day it's only my fourth game of Age of Sigmar and I'm curious to try everything out... Allegiance: Nighthaunt Mortal Realm: Chamon Leaders Knight of Shrouds on Ethereal Steed (140) - General - Trait: Ruler of the Spirit Hosts - Artefact: Midnight Tome Reikenor the Grimhailer (180) - Lore of the Underworlds: Lifestealer Guardian of Souls with Nightmare Lantern (140) - Lore of the Underworlds: Shademist Battleline 20 x Chainrasp Horde (160) 20 x Grimghast Reapers (280) Total: 900 / 1000 Extra Command Points: 2 Allies: 0 / 200 Wounds: 58

Just wanted to chime in with my own disgust at the Chainrasp pricing. Won't be getting any of them that way. Appalling move.

Wait-wait, the Arch-Warlock can cast two spells?!? Aarrgghh I have been a fool-idiot!

Fantastic post, @Overread. For scoring a join, does that mean what I think it does- just making some lines in the join area so the glue has more surface area to bond to? Or is it something fancier?

?

Just need to vent that the plastic on the Casket of Souls endless spell makes it an absolute rage-fest to put together, and I'm angry because of that. That is all.

Next week's pre-orders are up: Stormcast on horror-horse, Black Coach, Sequitors, Chainrasps.

All of this is just amazing.

Try in the whatsapp thread in the main forum and then report-scurry back, yes-yes.

Nice write up @dillonjay21, I had... rather the opposite experience on Friday! I went up against Brayherd- he brought two Beastlords, two Greater Bray Shamans, two mobs of Bestigor, two chariots, a small unit of Ungor Raiders and a Jabberslythe. Ranged against that, I had my mounted Knight of Shrouds, a Guardian of Souls, a Lord Executioner, a Spirit Torment, 20 Chainrasps, 10 Reapers, 8 Stalkers 3 Spirit Hosts,, 4 Myrnmourn Banshees and 2 Chainghasts (the latter two being new additions since my last game). We played a randomly generated scenario from the GHB2018, deploying in opposite corners and essentially fighting over terrain pieces. I set up to try and be able to move out across the table and flexibly contest as much as possible, with my Reapers in the underworld. He deployed his Jabberslythe... then set everything else up in ambush! Hm... I finished deploying first and took second turn. His entire army sans Jabberslythe came onto the board in my flank and rear, but having to make 9" charges was his doom. Only one unit of Bestigor and a chariot were able to charge. The Bestigor did some damage to the Chainrasps and Guardian of Souls, but not enough to kill either. The chariot got into the Stalkers, who promptly turned around and hacked it to pieces before it could fight. Now wildly vulnerable to a counterattack, the Bestigor were hacked apart in my turn as I dogpiled them with everything in the area, regenerating Chainrasps the entire time. The Stalkers and Lord Executioner got hold of the other chariot and his Ungor Raiders, neither of which lasted very long. I was able to get a double turn, and the Reapers appeared from the underworld. They promptly pincered the second Bestigor herd with the Chainrasps and Spirit Hosts, and I rolled a 10 for their charge too! They absolutely murdered the hell out of everything goat-shaped in the way of their scythes, helped by the Knight of Shrouds' command ability. Speaking of him, he hacked down both Beastlords, the Sword of Stolen Hours very handily healing up most of the damage he had taken along the way. The Jabberslythe finally made it into the fight on turn 3, having spent the entire first two turns cheesing it across from its deployment zone to try and help, but by then there was nothing to help. Every single Brayherd warrior was dead. Although its acid blood killed off most of the Reapers when they cut it to pieces, it found itself as dead as its allies. I'm not sure if I should take any lessons from this, as I honestly don't know whether my opponent let me win or not- his decision to isolate one of the most powerful elements of his army, the Jabberslythe, and then attack piecemeal, still confuses me. Did he not know what he was doing, or was he throwing me a bone (for context, he is not a new player and had watched me be decisively defeated the week before)? Anyway, I have realised the absolute necessity of protecting the Guardian of Souls, who was invaluable for his +1 to wound and regenerating spells. The Spirit Torment's ability to regenerate is good too, glad I remembered it. And Reapers, with all their buffs, are just mad. I have picked up two more boxes so I can take 30. Next battle in two weeks! A chance for revenge against the Sylvaneth beckons...

Anyone got any advice for taking on Treemen? Or heavily armoured units in general? We can put out a lot of dice but against the high armour of a Treeman I was a bit stumped (ha!) last time I came up against one.

If Seraphon don't get a plastic Slann and updated Kroxigor based on the Total War design at some point I will be very surprised.

Please. Please no. I can't buy any more. I'm too weak.

Same, except that hasn't stopped me in the slightest! All the Daughters of Khaine and Seraphon- oh, I forgot my Seraphon! A Start Collecting box, Bastiladon, Terradons and Stegadon- are in their boxes awaiting attention. I'm making very good progress through the Nighthaunt and Skaven, and the Idoneth are progressing reasonably. Getting an airbrush has really sped up the process!

I... I... I just like all the things! ?

Hmmm. Skaven - 2x Spire of Dawn sets - 2x Stormfiends - Arch-Warlock - 2x Doomwheel - 3x Warplightning Cannon - 2x Stormvermin - 1x Warpgrinder Daughters of Khaine - 2x Blood Coven sets - 4x Melusai - 2x Khinerai - 1x Morathi Idoneth Deepkin - 1x Eidolon - 1x Leviadon - 2x Allopex - 6x Eels - 2x Akhelian Kings Nighthaunt - 1x Soul Wars set - 1x Knight of Shrouds - 1x Chainghasts - 2x Grimghast Reapers I (re)started in the hobby about a year and a half ago. ?

Good thing we chose the army with the most allegiance abilities in the game! ?

Mate, I didn't remember any of the allegiance abilities ?

Really interesting thinking about teleporting shenanigans... If only I hadn't forgotten that completely!

Would you mind sharing your list?
