Thanks for the reply. I was thinking triple exalted chariots might work well and costs the same with the same points as 2 keepers but get access to the look out sir rule. Same wounds profile but mortal wounds to chew through the bone reaper screens. How would 60 daemonettes work out seeing as they have decent threat range and mortal wound potential in epicurean battalion?

Abit of a dumb question Are there any benefits to running less heroes and adding in more troops? I'm expecting that shooting will become more prevalent and it's hard to summon with the new costs if you dont make it to combat. Last stupid question is if the depravity points to summon a soul feaster keeper from forgeworld changed to be 45?

Cheers for the responses guys. Currently I dont own a keeper but do have quite alot of everything else for daemons. Currently thinking of going for heavy chariots/fast builds.

Hello all I'm not a very experienced player for aos but looking to play more over the year. Currently I'm looking to try to make a semi competative godseekers army. Any tips or tricks I should be aware off?

Yes as the moon moves at the end of the battle round not the hero phase.

I'm kind of agreeing that squig herds are very good. No save is rubbish and are very vulnerable to bravery but they do alot of damage. Had a unit of 12 kill a chaos Lord on mount in a single round no problem. So long as you have a cp and character near to auto pass I think they are a decent anvil unit with some teeth! (Luls) Going back to the loonboss on giant squig that was mentioned above what are people's thoughts on making him the general and dead shouty for the trait? 1 free cp each battle round to use his +3 movement without reducing his pool could be pretty strong.

So after a poor show at blood tithe I've decided to beef up my list abit ready for SCGT end of April. The troggboss is fairly durable and can lay the hurt well enough when he gets into combat and I don't want a third mangler squig 😉 Decent magic choices that allow me to gank a unit at a time and good board control.

What was in your list? I'm going to a tournament soon and not being an experienced AOS player insight is a wonderful thing

I'm not sure what to do for a full sized gobbopalooza list. Skragrott is a great caster and you want the moment but I cannot see the list doing enough damage. Personally I'd drop the skrap and vortex then drop a unit of sporesplattas and increase the loonsmasha unit to 10. Dropping a loonboss for 6 sneaky snufflers means more punch over all and simply putting 60 immune to battleshock grots in front of your opponents army stopping them moving far could be game winning, especially when 10 loon smashas destroy a key unit as well.

I really like them. What appeals to me is that if you have a bunch of grots nearby they all get the buff not just one unit. So gobbopalooza the sneaky snufflers and assorted characters will all get the extra attack which can be pretty vicious. Especially on that spare unit of 6 snufflers. 36 attacks just from that buff alone.

You can at most have 3 unit a unit that is bravery 7. Going to be pretty hard to shift them all via bravery. Besides having a unit of 2 or 3 is more cp efficient for run moves or buffs via spells.

I like my big unit as it's only 1 activation for combat and one dice roll for movement. Much safer as well as it receives buffs much better.

So after some sneaky scheming I've noticed that maybe sneaky snufflers are the best target for all the buffs available. 60 grots will always be a clear winning choice but maybe your sneaky snufflers are the best as each buff nets you +2 attacks per buff. A unit of 6 can knock out 36 attacks for 70pts.... put the loonboss command ability on them for mortal wounds or full on gamble and use a unit of 12 that nets you 72 attacks for a mere 140pts.

I'm running something very similiar but I do think that a loonboss on mangler isn't great as for those 60pts it gains the weakness of being a hero and only a few mediocre attacks. The cowl is good but a base mangler can be apart of the stampede for those important rerolls. I think you will want to have squig lure to allow your squigs to work without the moon and the mushroom is very good but may back fire if you roll low. If you made that small change you could buy another shaman or a standard loonboss to use his command ability on the 60 grots

He's fast, durable when given the helm of many eyes and the curse of the spider god spell is utterly amazing

The new general is in the core rules but is not allowed during matched play which the majority of people play.

Anyone have a comparison to the new and old mangler squig models? Would like to see How different they are in scale.

What are people's thoughts on running 2 dankhold troggoth as a single unit then hand of gork them on a flank while your regular trolls run up? Very similiar to morghasts but the same points and much better defensively.

I never said take 12, a unit of 6 is enough not to be ignored and resilient enough to battleshock to be capable of taking some punishment and it's cheaper than 60 stabbas and easier to sneak them in

I'm probably going to buy a box and use them purely for squig random movement rolls. What does everyone think about using a big unit of fellwater trolls mixed into a squig army? Gives a good target to hand across the board while hoppers and boingrots are in the front line?

I'm upset that the loonboss cannot have sword and board or 2 mooncuttas as it nullifies both my classic loonboss models. I'm thinking that the rockgut troggs with sneaky snufflers buffs will hurt alot

I agree the model is amazing and the rules are good but I'm not interested in trying to make the mangler boss work by making him the general for that command trait and a smart opponent will hurt the mangler enough to degrade it to worst stats then leave it or kill the thing entirely in one go. I like big units but suffer from bravery the most but are better against light shooting. Small units can just split up and do very little if they take even a single model off.

I'm not sure on spells and artefacts just yet. This was more an idea of what I want to use rather than making the best army. I like the mangler but at the same time it's alot easier to kill that the hoppers due to less wounds and the mangler can degrade. Since i see the gloomspites working well as a mixed force rather than pure theme id rather have the bodies on the board than an expensive monster.

A mangler or for 30pts more 15 hoppers? I prefer the hoppers

I'm aware but you can auto run 6 inches hence the 9+ 3d6
