I have a Slaves to Darkness list and I'm putting 30 warriors on the field. I wanted advice if I should stack one unit to have 20 warriors so more warriors get the encorcelled banner buff and they're easier to buff with magic, or if I should keep them separate in 3 groups of 10 so to better go after objectives. It's an important choice bc I am putting the kits together and I want to know if I'm making 3 banner men and musicians or just 2?

But also glad they didn't touch salamanders, Kroak, or the starpriest! All the really good stuff is still in tact.

The Ripper FAQ is pretty disheartening- I'm not sure they are even a unit to consider now- the most you get with them is 5 attacks a piece with the jaws which is meh considering their movement is 12. If they had movement 16 that'd be a diffferent story- also no changes to the realmshaper WTF...

Also a lot of repetitive cp generation so your bastis shooting are a thing. 440 points and 2 cp is 36 shots at -1 rend 2 dmg at 24 inches

So things look bad but then certain things are leaking which make me pause and say hold on. Thunder lizard constellation all your thunder lizard get +2 wounds

WOOT! COME ON 2 WOUNDS FOR SAURUSES COME ON!!!!!

So no matter if you play Khorne or Nurgle or Tzeentch, help me understand why you wouldn't jam 80 marauders in any list you make with a chaos sorcerer lord? I don't think any of the battleline from the other factions are nearly as good as just marauders. Someone tell me why you wouldn't do this?

I think you broke the meta....

Thank you ALL for the responses! I truly appreciate it !

Just moved to NYC from the Virginia area and looking to join a competitive NYC AOS group. Looking to see where great places are to play?

Sure List 1 Heros Slaan Starmaster 260 command trait: Great remember artefact: Incandescent retricies Saurus Astrolith Bearer 160 Engine of the gods 240 Battle Line 10 skinks x 3 210 w shield and pipes Other 6 ripperdactyls 280 1 stegadon 200 w/ flamethrower Gotrek 520 Cogs 80 balewind 40 List 2 is essentially the same thing but you have a starpriest and second stegadon w/flamethrower in place of the rippers Both lists are essentially try to accomplish the same thing- you don't need to take shadowstrike when you can throw up cogs deepstrike your rippers and steggy turn 1 and all you need is 3.5 inch charge on average for a ripper alpha strike because you can skink alpha move the rippers with your deepstriking stegadon. Similarily with 2 steggys you use the same concept and skink alpha move to immediately shoot hordes and then tie them into combat turn 1. Gotrek is on your home objective and your hammer. The goal is to tie up key mobile or objective grabbing units turn 1 then teleport your slaan around summoning on objectives or using your bearer to summon on objectives. Based on how the game is going- Gotrek is used as your counter puncher after you have tied your opponent up and move all around the board- he obviously can only be concentrated to half of the board but alpha strike and summon with that according to plan. Always surround him with skinks- the look out sir + plus less surface area for a surround makes him even more durable. If you are able to tie up their objective grabbers then the skink retreat ability becomes even more valuable. Cogs works both ways and since you have the balewind - you easily can slowdown time and get 16 + d3 cp a turn
