    Depends... From Nighthaunt, there'll still be the Black Coach, Chainghasts, Bladegeists, Harridans, blisters of the heroes (Lord Executioner has an alternative model, at least, and I guess Knight of Shrouds will too? Guardian of Souls has that store anniversary alternative, maybe a third one as a paid blister?)... and if they do multipart Glaivewraiths and Myrmourns, those too.

    I spent this afternoon/evening getting the ectoplasm kicked out of me, and I have some thoughts.

    I hate Treemen.

    I hate Retributors.

    I took the following (20 points over but he was 10 points over and we called it even):

    Allegiance: Nighthaunt

    Leaders
    Knight of Shrouds on Ethereal Steed (140)
    - General
    - Trait: Ruler of the Spirit Hosts 
    - Artefact: Midnight Tome 
    Guardian of Souls with Nightmare Lantern (140)
    Spirit Torment (120)
    Lord Executioner (80)

    Battleline
    20 x Chainrasp Horde (160)
    10 x Grimghast Reapers (140)
    3 x Spirit Hosts (120)

    Units
    8 x Glaivewraith Stalkers (120)

    Total: 1020 / 1000
    Extra Command Points: 0
    Allies: 0 / 200
    Wounds: 68

    My main takeaway was that I really need to remember rules. In my defence, it was only my second full game of AoS, I forgot my allegiance abilities entirely. Entirely! I missed so many synergies, and as a result got my spooky butt handed to me. Things started off well, I bubble-wrapped properly, murdered his Spite Revenants with my Spirit Hosts, did a lot of damage to his Dryads with my Grimghast Reapers, put 4 wounds on his Stormcast general with the Glaivewraith Stalkers and the Knight of Shrouds killed the Branchwych. Then the Retributors came down, his Treelord did some movement shenanigans and everything started to fall apart. The Retributors slowly murdered their way through my left flank, killing the Spirit Hosts and the Grimghast Reapers. The Treelord squashed the Guardian of Souls, a Grandhammer just flat out annihilated the Executioner and I started getting unlucky with my rolls. When he got a double turn going from battle round 3-4, it was all over. The Chainrasps, the Spirit Torment and the Knight of Shrouds held out in the centre, making an attempt to kill the Treeman, but his 3+ rerolling 1s save was just too much, and he was healing himself with Regrowth. He surrounded me and murdered me, though the Knight of Shrouds killed the Stormcast general who had survived with one wound for most of the game. Curses! 

    So, main thoughts:

    Remember your rules!
    Gotta use them synergies.
    Starsoul Maces are BÜLLS**T.
    Wildwoods are infuriating.
    The Spirit Torment is really good. 
    Get some rend.

    It's a pain to buy a unit of Stormvermin just to use a few units from them...but they definitely look the best. 

    Oh, I'm using all of them! Between the Veer-Myn heads I still have and finding out that the Warp Lightning Cannon actually comes with three gas mask heads (and I have three Warp Lightning Cannons!) I ought to have enough bits to make ten more Acolytes on top of the ten I've already built. I'm also just building some regular Stormvermin, so the entirety of these two boxes of blackrats is getting utilised!

    WRT Acolytes, I used mostly Stormvermin after seeing rhamah_ do it on Instagram. Heads are from a mix of Doomwheel, Warplightning Cannon and Mantic Veer-Myn, backpacks are from Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii and throwing arms are from Ghouls.

    While it does feel thematic that 50% of our artefacts hurt us, I really don't think the benefits outweigh the negative. There should be more of a risk/reward mechanic built in, like with overcharging the weapons teams and war machines.

    Slaanesh re-imagined as the Hamburglar but with no pants on and a sack over its shoulder  that says SOULZ on it.

    This is the direction we all crave. 

    If they truly are "the new GW", they'll give the people what they want, and that is Slaanesh with no trousers.

    I usually post on most forums as CannibalBob, but when I made an account here I decided to go with the name of my Goblin General.

    Dedication, but I think using a picture of yourself as your avatar was a bit too much.

    Not me. I'm Sleboda everywhere. Different images just for my own amusement more than anything else, but same name.

    If I could wave a magic wand and change one thing about the internet, it would be to require real names on all forums. Things would probably be a lot more civil.

    Facebook called, it said you are hopelessly, disastrously mistaken ?

    Before 2018 I would have called @Kugane a maniac with a madman's dream, but three new armies, an update for Stormcast, a new edition and a magic supplement (plus everything else) by July? I'm still doubtful they'd release another box set in the same year as Soul Wars, but clearly anything's possible now.
