    As I just found out in the first cast of turn 1 in my game...

    I know this sounds bizarre to say but the look of the new stuff is everything I actually wanted from Aelves in AoS, except it’s Chaos and thus infinitely better. I’m getting strong Eldar Harlequin vibes personally and I’m really loving it.

    How important are chariots at the moment? Can you build a good list without them? Not really into the aesthetic of them.

    This all looks amazing.

    Nope, only the Masterclan ones. On Warscroll Builder any hero can choose any I think, you just have to select the correct one for your hero’s keyword.

    If what happened last year with Idoneth and DoK is anything to go by, they’re probably printing the new GHB right now if they haven’t already done it and so it’s pretty unlikely there’ll be any points changes as they won’t have had the time to properly study how it fares in the wild. Which is good for us as some of our stuff is a steal now. If Eel spam gets a full year then I think we will too.

    So, I won a Minor Victory on Blood and Glory in Ulgu vs. Stormcast (very popular in my local meta, not sure why) with my list, will do a quick recap. I had Arch Warlock with the good Skryre trait and artefact, Warpseer, Grey Seer and Bombardier, 3x20 Clanrats, 40 Monks and 25 Acolytes, 2 WLC and the Vortex. He had a bit of a mongrel list which was about 2300 points as he was trying stuff out. Stardrake and a Tauralon, few heroes, decent amount of shooting. Played overly defensively for most of the game, lost one WLC before it could even shoot but basically the match flipped when I one-shotted his Tauralon with a WLC and melted his Staunch Defending Stardrake (22 wounds in one round) with MMWP Acolytes in round 3. Once that happened I was always gonna get at least a minor as the Warpseer probably kept about 30-40 models on the table. So did ok. My magic phases didn’t go as I’d like but the Warpseer is rightfully an autoinclude, great model with great rules.

    Ah was wondering when they’d change, all my GW ones have come on 32mms and I was starting to freak out as my email from GW is the only place I was seeing it in writing.

    General rules question about Warpstone Sparks: For the wizard re-roll, do you have to spend it before you cast any spells? Can’t see anything in the wording that you can’t spend it after a flop.
  11. 5kaven5lave
    Ah yeah, I always bring Skitterleap but forgot to put it up. Hoping the Acolytes can mess stuff up with a Clanrat screen stopping them getting charged.

    Cool, I’m gonna stop meddling now and go with this tonight and see how I get on. Vigordust can also be used on Monks or Clanrats so that gives some options if my Acolytes get wiped out.

    @Gwendar Been looking again at your list and really like it, didn’t really get the impact of the Skryre traits and artefacts at first look. Do you think they would work on a Bombardier or Engineer or are they just an even squishier version of the Arch-Warlock? I could bring in an Arch-Warlock but I’d have to ditch Vermintide and 5 Acolytes which are kind of the reason why I’d be taking the traits etc.
  14. 5kaven5lave
    I think it looks good man, cool list. What I’m looking into at the moment is finding some points and swapping an Arch-Warlock for a Bombardier and an Engineer to build in some redundancy with MMWP. This is what I’m gonna have a go with at the weekend: Allegiance: SkaventideLeadersVerminlord Warpseer (260)- General- Trait: Master of Magic - Artefact: Suspicious Stone Grey Seer (120)- Lore of Ruin: SkitterleapWarlock Bombardier (100)- Lore of Warpvolt Galvanism: More-more-more Warp Power!Warlock Engineer (100)- Lore of Warpvolt Galvanism: More-more-more Warp Power!Battleline20 x Clanrats (120)- Rusty Spear20 x Clanrats (120)- Rusty Spear20 x Clanrats (120)- Rusty SpearUnits40 x Plague Monks (240)- Foetid Blades30 x Skryre Acolytes (320)War MachinesWarp Lightning Cannon (180)Warp Lightning Cannon (180)Endless SpellsWarp Lightning Vortex (100)Vermintide (40)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 173

    Talking of Plague Monks, was looking at allying in a Nurgle Lord of Blights for the -2 to hit in shooting and -1 combat on a unit of 20+. That would help them get across the board with less losses. With a Warpseer you’d have loads of CPs to keep a couple of units buffed. Just need a Pestilens general and you’re good to go.

    I think we’re looking at at least 3 years before we get anything new, we’ve just been given a top-tier Battletome and that’ll have to do for a while unfortunately.
  17. 5kaven5lave
    Did that Forgeworld email this morning get anyone else thinking? Potential Giant Rats?
  18. 5kaven5lave
    Anyone got any tips for using the Warpseer? I’m guessing we keep him loosely chained to big blobs of rats for the CA and otherwise use him as a hard to kill CP farm? Can he do much in melee or is he more of a backfield support piece with the spells etc.?
  19. 5kaven5lave
    Add 20 points and get a WLC? They’re better than they were and fun but I know what I’d rather take.
  20. 5kaven5lave
    Can confirm, they melt anything and are super mobile.
  21. 5kaven5lave
    Cheers, did have him with the SoJ initially but yeah that blade is fluffy (he could use it to carve out gnawholes) and makes him a better all-rounder.

    A great victory!! I’ve played a good few games of ‘pure’ Skryre now and come out the other side with about a 40% win ratio so it’s time to adapt a bit. Here’s what I’m gonna start running as my mixed Skaventide, hoping it’s got a bit of everything. Wasn’t sure about the Seer but I think Skitterleap would be a good addition: Allegiance: SkaventideMortal Realm: GhurLeadersVerminlord Warpseer (260)- General- Trait: Master of Magic - Artefact: Gryph-feather Charm Verminlord Corruptor (260)Grey Seer (120)- Lore of Ruin: SkitterleapArch-Warlock (160)- Lore of Warpvolt Galvanism: More-more-more Warp Power!Battleline20 x Clanrats (120)- Rusty Blade20 x Clanrats (120)- Rusty Spear20 x Clanrats (120)- Rusty SpearUnits40 x Plague Monks (240)- Foetid Blades30 x Skryre Acolytes (320)War MachinesWarp Lightning Cannon (180)Endless SpellsWarp Lightning Vortex (100)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 173

    Also, you went blades not staves? Did that work ok?
  24. 5kaven5lave
    Obviously make sure you have an engineer near one of your cannons but avoid overcharging until they’re almost dead I’d say. That blob of 6 Fiends will go mental if you cast MMWP on them and spend a Warpstone Spark too. Just be aware that you will be low on bodies and that Stormfiends can occasionally dissapoint as they’re quite swingy in my experience. Good luck!!

    Will post it up if it’s helpful for you guys. Really, REALLY want to have a bash at this list: Allegiance: SkaventideMortal Realm: UlguLeadersVerminlord Corruptor (260)- General- Trait: Savage Overlord - Artefact: Sword of Judgement Arch-Warlock (160)- Lore of Warpvolt Galvanism: More-more-more Warp Power!Great Unclean One (340)- Bile Blade & Doomsday Bell- AlliesBattleline20 x Clanrats (120)- Rusty Spear20 x Clanrats (120)- Rusty Spear20 x Clanrats (120)- Rusty SpearUnits40 x Plague Monks (240)- Foetid Blades30 x Skryre Acolytes (320)War MachinesWarp Lightning Cannon (180)Endless SpellsWarp Lightning Vortex (100)Vermintide (40)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 340 / 400Wounds: 172 Would have loads of wounds, lots of bodies, lots of spells, a bit of shooting. Think it would be fun!!
