  1. Fancy seeing you here haha. Good catch on the general!
  2. I'm a longtime competitive slayers player, liking where some peoples heads are at with list building in this thread. Figured I'd share. I used to run the canonical 60 HGB with lords of the lodge, now that's gone I think that there are a couple directions to go. Both my concepts take advantage of two things. HGB are still awesome, but no longer spamable and Aurics with a deepstrike option are excellent. First concept would be to include Gotrek. He got a major points reduction to the point where he might make sense to include. Previously he was so costly that he would crowd out the required tools to build a decent Hermdar list but now he starts to make sense. Something like: Runesmiter on Magmadroth Runesmiter Battlesmith Gotrek 3x10 HGB 1x10 aurics The second option is to experiment with some KO add ins. Historically slayers have been a static army and could use some help on the mobility front. KO obviously have great mobility with the ships. There are now several secondaries that reward mobile armies and a little extra shooting never hurts. Runesmiter on Magmadroth (points to take any of the droths though) Runesmiter Battlesmith Any of the foot heros 3x10 HGB 1x10 aurics 2x Gunhaulers What do you all think? Curious what others are doing as far as list building.
  3. Anyone else feel like unleash hell (stand and shoot) is going to get comped out by the community? That single command ability looks to be majorly problematic for a game that is mostly populated by non-shooting units. Perhaps as more of the rules come out, it will appear to be less of an issue. But as it stands I would have no issue with TOs excluding that command ability from events. Thoughts?
  4. So I sort of agree, but am curious what you think the rest of the list looks like around the big guy?
  5. Thats a good point, I'll probably try a unit of 20 in the ironclad!
  6. Max out aether gold and that way theres 3 blocks of thunderers and you only have to commit 10 at a time to a target!
  7. Figured I'd try and contribute here, I sat down with a friend of mine, both of us are competitive players. We went through the whole KO book cover to cover and this is what we came up with as a list. Figured I'd put it out in the world in case anyone is looking for ideas or wants to provide feedback. The concept is pretty simple, we tried to lean into KO's strengths, ranged output and mobility. This means all units have a ride or fly, drop down and take out an opponents flank/key pieces and watch the rest crumble, not unlike clown-car from the previous book. I feel like this list is a great glass cannon with 3 small units of riggers for portable screens, objective grabbing and harassment. I also would not under estimate the mobility and toughness of the ships, reminds me a lot of the old Sylveneth, very mobile and damage where you need it. As far as sky port you can kind of go wherever you want, but battle-line is handled with the new guy as general and 3 units of riggers. LEADERS Endrinmaster with Dirigible Suit (220) (general) UNITS 10 x Grundstok Thunderers (240) 10 x Grundstok Thunderers (240) 10 x Grundstok Thunderers (240) 3 x Endrinriggers (100) 3 x Endrinriggers (100) 3 x Endrinriggers (100) BEHEMOTHS Arkanaut Frigate (250) - Kharadron Overlords Battleline (Sky Port: Barak Zilfin) Arkanaut Ironclad (510)(extra space endrinwork)
  8. I think this is a great point, but maybe the takeaway should be different. @Elephant_fresh consider working in Thundertusks as their ranged mortal wound output is unbelievable, which is great against large units with good saves! Furthermore the stone horns have rend -2 on the best weapon, so its not to horrible against a 3+ save. I'm thinking about a similar list and will be sure to post once I refine things a bit!
  9. Honestly thank god theres no terrain piece, glad I don't have to buy and transport some silly thing to get an allegiance ability. Looking forward to the new book, heres hoping its good and not broken! I'm keeping the faith, lets see some rules previews before passing judgment!
  10. I think one should be fine, it would be nice to buff the riggers you have but its tough at 1k, you'd get 6 extra attacks with the riggers but 3 extra by just taking 3 more models. Consider taking the ragged cloak on your Khemist, you might find that your friends Phoenix guard keep him out of melee, the ragged cloak can make your character much more survivable against shooting.
  11. Agreed on the ironclad, however I doubt we will see the units inside a ship able to shoot, that sounds like a mechanic that would be unhealthy for the game. But the idea of the ships being force multiplers would be really great to see, more than just 400 points for low drops and deep strike with one city.
  12. Honestly a new KO book doesn't need much, points cut on the ironclad and a cleanup of the patchwork of nerfs KO got hit with. A combat activation mechanic would be sweet but I'm not holding my breath. With most of the shooting hitting on 4s and none of it being able to cause mortals there are definitely some armies that are tough matchups (death, anything with -1 to hit etc.) so a change to that would definitely be great as well, access to double hits on 6s would honestly do it without ruffling to many feathers in the community. One thing you don't want is a OP book as it just leads to where KO currently stand.

  15. I did not! I also forgot that Durhtu is 340 points and not 380 as he was in the past. I plan on test some army lists with and without Durthu, I'll report back with an equally detailed post!
