    AoS 2 - Flesh-eater Courts Discussion

    Generally speaking no...

    The rest are tricky details. Why not fielding one of the grand courts to get them as Battleline or what artifacts/commands are you trying to combo... the courtiers as well as the unmounted kings are pretty squishy.

     

    Why would you want a courtier as general, if you can have a King on Dragon leading 5 (five) terrorgheists (1940+1CP)... or 4 and the Archregent (1840+3CP)

    or king on gheist with four gheists and an archregent with the menagerie (1920+2CP+ 1artifact+ 1mounttrait)

    why would you bother with courtiers?!

    but of course you could, if you have a cunning plan/combo

    Probably cause u can’t have more then 4 behemoth

    Was thinking about this 

    anvils 

    relictor/veritant 

    heraldor

    incantor 

    Incantor 

    azyros(some doubt start here...just for 1turn rerolls ? Isn’t better to get a castellan to boost evocators?) 

    2x5 libs 

    5 juds 

    10 evocators (5 2hw)

    9 longstrikes 

    2x3 eatherwings

    1980/2000

     

    what your thoughts about this? 

    I can change juds for another libs unit and change one incantor with an arcanum on gryphchaeger/foot 

     

    i would like to find points for a comet...

    Is there any issue rules-wise about putting Longstrikes all on the smaller "prime" base instead of the larger ovals? Since both bases are apparently legal for the unit, I was curious if anyone has tried this (easier to fit on terrain or within buff ranges)? Is it scummy?

    Definitely

    What if you just did it? Or tell him you're not buying anything else until they reevaluate these house rules since this isn't AOS.

    I don’t like to act like a pus..y just because I can’t get what I want, or what is normal. Life sucks :(

    Depends on mission, but mostly you can't. 

    The best you can do is try to weaken the units in his army without killing them. If you bring them down to a few models left, he can bring back a bunch of them (usually something like 4d3 or more), but if you kill the whole unit then it all comes back. If you can get to Nagash with your supporting units (usually Fulminators, Evocators, or Sequitors) then you might be able to grind him down, but the Drake itself can't kill Nagash without insane luck. 

    If you're playing exploding Drake with all the reflecting MWs, the best chance is just to try and get into the Reapers/Skeletons, grind them down, and try to score with the rest of your stuff.

    Other option I was thinking about 9 raptor + 10 evocators. Hanvils chamber

    What´s he playing? Ironjawz and leading the boards, stomping all the stupid other players...

     

    Well, I guess that´s settled then, sorry that you have such an **** **** **** **** as store manager

    (don´t want to recommend blackmailing to GW, although the idea came up)

     

    and the travel to the far away happy places, with all the cool gamer bros might not be available for everybody *sadface

    He doesn’t play at all aos. That’s the problem. Judging without ever played. nice, isn’t it ?

    Well, that guy sounds both as tough and intelligent as your common brick. Are there other places to play where you live? But I guess not if you still have to stick with all that nonsence.

    A part from my house, nothing else :/ 

    yeah, I don’t understand why stick with that limit. 

    We decided to put it at the beginning of aos 2.0 because in a first couple of tournaments it looked a bit op but now a lot of people asked to remove it and he’s not ok with this ... and we Are Supposed to be a community :/

    So what do other players do?

    like beasts of chaos, nurgle or tzeentch?! Do indoleth players get to use their tides?! Beastclaw raiders their everwinter blessings?!

     

    Luckily I have a relativly laid back community around here, who sometimes crank it up or whine about all my cheesy stuff, while the ballistas carefully take aim at my varghulf.

    It’s tricky to have the right approach at such a thing. Maybe ask one (the most open one)...

    to be gender specific, maybe their just named „Male part with D gets autoblocked“... or both.

    Grab yourself one of the more laid back ones (or also house-rule oppressed), ask him to play with the official rules, because you’re thinking about a 1k tournament, while visiting your online friends in „far far away“. I‘m waiting, BBQ is ready...

    then build a sub-par easy peasy list (King, varghulf, ghast, 6horrors, 20/10 ghouls) and start working on that one guy. King only summons 10 ghouls, no big deal, 6horrors and the varghulf are tough enough not to make him suspicious of down-playing.

    then you a) have someone to play with and b) carefully start calling everybody a crybaby, because XY just wiped the floor with your OP summoning, c) rinse repeat and slowly crank it up 

    I understand but it’s a rule that only the sm can change...

    what I see(and I spoke with many friends)is that lot of army that rely on summons have not been played since AoS 2.0 came out...a part from nighthaunt and LoN...

    i started fec cause I was tired of playing evocators ...

    there’s also another home rules: command ability doesn’t stack on same unit (eg. no sureheart ability x2/3 times to get an auto charge)....

    when I ask him to review these home rules, he says that without them aos would be unbalanced, that seraphon are op on summoning etc...even though I said that in a lot of tournament seraphon doesn’t make the cut XD

    As said 20+ pages before - you NEED to CHANGE that dumb house rule and force people in your group not to be pussies about summoning, it's there for purpose and it's balanced ENOUGH to not be further restricted

    I’m not the store manager, so I can’t change anything event though I asked (with other people on my side) to change or review it .... 

    i bought carrion empire and a start collecting because I really like the model, it’s a shame that I can’t play them at full power but at least I would give em a try... if they doesn’t work at all I will stop buying other miniatures and going back to play stormcast

    you are going to seriously have a hard time if you just gimp yourself by restricting summons. The current rules of the game are fixed with summons in mind working the way they work. FEC loses too much momentum if they don't have access to summons as all our models are costed with that particular thing in mind. You wouldn't play Stormcast without Deepstrike, or Idoneth without their Tide Tables, there's no reason to play Flesh Eaters without their summon mechanics.

    It’s only way to play fec unfortunately here

    How big (pointswise) is the tournament, what models you have / will have available when it comes?

    i think 2000pts. Right now i only have 1 sc and 1 carrion empire, but have some friends that can lend me some pieces (terrorgheist, ghouls, horrors, maybe some courtier)

    CORE RULES Designers’ Commentary, December 2018

    Page 3

    Q: Sometimes a rule will specify that a model or unit needs to be ‘wholly within’ a certain distance. What exactly does ‘wholly within’ mean?

    A: A model is wholly within a certain distance if every part of its base is within the stated distance. A unit is wholly within a certain distance if every part of the bases of all of the models in the unit is within the stated distance. For example, a model would be wholly within 12" of the edge of the battlefield as long as every part of its base was 12" or less from the edge, while a unit would be wholly within 12" of the edge of the battlefield as long as every part of every base of the models from the unit were 12" or less from the edge.

    i was right though, thx mate :)
