Hey people! Look forward to seeing you there on Saturday! For any of you coming on Saturday, we’re auctioning off a death army for a local charity- details here: https://www.facebook.com/1023698534471492/posts/1127038830804128/

D'oh. Take the harbinger list I'd say.

Something like 2x6 drones for a double dronebomb to remove all 40 skeletons in one round of combat would work?

There's not much point in having glottkin and harbinger then, unless you save up over turns to activate both command abilities?

How many command points will you have? Glottkin is a lot of points for 1000pts to be honest!

Yes! Thanks Ben!

Hi @Ben, i can't seem to add a new event- here's what I'm seeing Not sure if I'm being blind!?

I'd say it's great in many instances, but against any army with bonuses to dispell it's far far too expensive for what you're getting.

Don't play Nurgle? But seriously, there's a few builds. Drone Bomb is still great, but it's now harder to get blades of putrefaction on it in AoS 2.

Updated rules pack with paragraph on base sizing.

Please note updated rules pack with secondary objectives! In the Original Post attachment .

Remember GUO's command ability only works on daemon units, so you'd have to take the plaguebearers to make it worthwhile.

I'd diverge slightly- the GUO is a terrible melee damage dealer. If you take him with a sword, you're missing out on the bell (the biggest reason to take GUO) and if you take the flail for damage you miss on the bileblade- what makes the GUO the best spellcaster for Nurgle. Otherwise, i'm with you on GUO! I think Glottkin is undervalued by Nurgle players. For 80pts more you get a far better command ability, the best nurgle spell there is (Except perhaps Rotigus' spell) and way better damage output if you do have him in combat. Plus the shooting attack, though hard to get off, is very powerful. Plus Horrific Opponent for -1 bravery. Major issues are no way to boost magic casting, only 1 dispel, and no disgusting resilience means he can't last as long as a GUO. I have both- when I take GUO I can get him close to the action and usually get more spells off. With Glottkin, i usually keep him a bit further back as he's less resilient, but his spell can make 30 plaguebearers outlast almost anything! Plus if you can get him into combat at full health, he's pretty decent.

Nurglings are an excellent unit to summon onto a objective. The whole SC box is great really. It's just the poxbringer is not used in net-lists generally, but it's a decent choice for cheap deamon spell casting.

I imagine the Beasts of Chaos release is the template we can expect for all redone battletomes. Consolidated force, a scenery piece, endless spells and perhaps a new SC box.

Oh i thought they never expanded on their initial "profits will be lower than forecast" statement? I initially assumed it must be Brexit but when they didn't elaborate i thought it might be some major product they wouldn't get to market in time.

Did anyone explain the profit warning GW issued a week or two ago? I imagined it was because a big product launch wasn't going to happen this quarter as they previously planned so the profits would be lower?

Hey @Ben are the subscriptions reflected in the hosting cost widget on the home page?

Dracothian is next.

I think in a narrative game (a massive order force VS this dragon) would be great. In matched play- just avoid it or chuck chaff. It has the same issues any super-powerful model does (loads of points in 1 location) in matched play. This vs 1,200pts of any chaff unit- this loses everytime by being bogged down.

I think it's clearly not meant to be played in regular matched play. I mean we now measure base to base as standard in 2.0 and it has no base. FW are probably just starting on some huge models for AoS, like they have titans for 40k. No one plays (or can, points-wide) titans in competitive play.
