Well to be absolutely true, it would be stunningly incredible if Gw chose to firstly make a mixed skaven army battletome and with it update all metallic or funky looking models like gutter runner/night runners, plague censer bearers/monks, Arch warlock and many more (we definitely need some good locking weapon teams)
but that’s only my oppinion.
(still hoping for that mixed battletome death style)
That's exactly what I want. Legions of Nagash for Skaven.

I remember seeing it before so I recognised it- it is a beautiful army. Considering the level of other models recently released, a new Skryre range would look incredible I imagine.

The problem with having two is now you're only 1 more away from trying out that batallion...
That's the likely outcome, but I can pace myself and get one at a time to paint!

The left hand meaning the empty/bile blade / flail hand? Since it's empty for rotigus and his only weapon is in the other hand, I would think it would be fine to have a bileblade or flail there and just magnetize the other arm. I doubt anyone is going to complain if your rotigus is holding a dagger in addition to his warscroll weapon.
Yeah that one. Problem is I really like that arm, so I'd want to build a complete rotigus instead of just using the dagger! Also having 2 GUOs would be awesome!
-
Anyone run a GUO/2x GUOs with Rotigus? I magnetised my GUO but the rotigus left arm doesn't work with magnetising as it scratches off the wrist paintwork, so I was thinking of getting another GUO kit and build as rotigus, particularly for his spell.

Loved the new episode!
Although your English accents are terrible, it's so funny it doesn't matter. Only, like, 70% of us speak like they do in the Mary Poppins movie now. The others speak like Jason Statham, with a couple of us speaking like the Queen.
RE ditties and stings- you guys have to have some. Not like in an annoying local radio DJ style, but you just spent half an episode singing sailor songs and the dumb Hobbit songs and it's hilarious!
You guys gotta add the podcast to the podcast subforum on here!

Okay list submissions for an upcoming tournament tomorrow and I'm close to finalising a list.
Still unsure which spell to give Astreia, I think Celestial Blades is the strongest option for Evocators. Any thoughts?
Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals
Hammers of Sigmar
Astreia Solbright (220)
- General
Lord-Castellant (100)
Gavriel Sureheart (100)
20 x Sequitors (400)
- Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields
- 9x Stormsmite Greatmaces10 x Sequitors (240)
- Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields
- 5x Stormsmite Greatmaces5 x Sequitors (120)
- Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields
- 3x Stormsmite Greatmaces
10 x Evocators (400)
- Lore of Invigoration: Celestial Blades
- 5x Grandstaes
5 x Evocators (200)
- Lore of Invigoration: Celestial BladesCleansing Phalanx (120)
Total: 1900 / 2000
Extra Command Points: 3
Allies: 0 / 400
Wounds: 133Only options I'm toying with are:
1. Dropping the Cleansing Phalanx so I can bring the 3rd Sequitor unit up to 10 models.
2. Losing the two purchased command points so I can take a Relictor or 5 Liberators.
As someone who hasn't yet played their Sacrosanct, please let me know how cleansing phalanx goes!

Hey fellows.
I got my GUO today. This probably has been already asked but: Which setup do you run your GUO?
I probably would go for Bell and Dagger, but also thinking about Bell and Flail.
Anny tips from you veterans?
Either GUO Bell and blade or Rotigus. Sword is worthless IMO because after rolling for hits/wounds, you're looking at 1 save at best and ultimately it just doesn't play to the GUO's strengths.
You can also quite easily magnetise it as I have, but I've only played it bell and blade so far!

Thanquol is brutal (basically the only "broken" thing the Skaven have available is a Verminlord Deceiver+Thanquol combo to deep strike him into killing several enemy heroes on the first turn), and if you stay with Pestilens allegiance a fine ally although he takes up all your ally slot.
Is this a tried and proven tactic? I always thought 2d6 mortal wounds is nice, but basing two expensive models around it seems way too much. I haven't found thanquol to last too long, but I haven't played him in a while!

I honestly think you're best off buying the Soul Wars ones 2nd hand, it'll be cheaper even if you discard all the Primes you get.
They're making some weird decisions with Sacrosanct kit designs, no Grand Mace option in the Sequitor Prime box, building heroes out of bits in both Evocator boxes leaving you without matched play sized units, the Arcanum on foot only available as a bundle with a centre-piece special character.
TBH if you buy soul wars and those kits you either don't need another knight-incantor or you can build the knight incantor and the 3 evocators in SW can fill the unit back up. Not that it makes it less cheeky of GW to do it, but it works ok!

Hi guys, just found this pic in the corebook, any idea?
That's a plague drone ridden by either a plaguebearer or blightlord, can't make it out.

Amazing work! Congratulations on the article!

Let's hope there's squigs and nets and all that moonclan goodness.

Has anyone played a lord-exorcist or have an opinion on him? I love the model so will field him (despite never playing against daemons or nighthaunt!) but can't see he's too great of a pick for a competitive list.

Do we know the list used?
I believe Chris Tomlin is assembling a PDF with lists soon and will publish on the main Blackout thread.

Those old dragon sculpts are terrible and aged like sour milk. The whole body and head seem like they were going to fall off.
I love them, and the paintjob, but that's mostly down to nostalgia!

Edit:
So first Stormcast army in Blackout was 27. Should we doom and gloom already? Can you think of any theories for our bad performance?
It's only 1 tournament. Worth waiting to see how Sacrosanct heavy SC do once the new rules have settled in a bit.

Playing a mate with Ironjawz who brings 20 brutes (!!!!)
GUO Bell/Blade/GF Blessing, ?Spell?
Chaos Sorcerer Lord w/ ?Spell?
Sorcere w/ carrion dirge, Blades of Putrefaction
Festus w/ ?Spell?30 PBs
10 PBs
5 BKs
5 BKs
6 DronesI've found that without Glottkin's +1 wound spell, brutes can eat through pretty much any unit (including 30 plaguebearers) in 1 or 2 rounds of combat. I'm thinking by fielding more units (30,10,5,5) instead of my usual 2x30 PBs and 1x10 BKs I might be able to manage his units more? Sorcerer Lord and Sorcerer there to buff drones and the GUO will stick near them to trigger the additional attacks. Alternatively I could drop the rotbringers sorcerer and deep strike 10 BKs with Gutrot? Or maybe get another 10 PBs in there?
EDIT- i also think 5 spells per turn may be overkill, so dropping some of the wizards may be worthwhile for more units?

This is excellent! Listening through all of them!

Also in the spirit of cool paint jobs, a friend of mine did this guy for me about a month back (I'm hobby challenged when it comes to painting)
That's very green! Nice job!

What weapon to your evocators? Is the grand staf better than dual weapons?
I can't seem to find the rules for evocators with grand stave? Here's the warscroll and there's no mention?

Non-list building pics! Last visit to warhammer world, playing on the nicest AoS table they have. My nurgle vs a mate's skryre. All fully painted!

Tried positioning a branch busting through his "shoulder" as if roots broke through flesh. This made a nice platform for ethrac to stand on.
I REALLY like the roots bursting through... Its nice that ethracc has a spot to stand on but he hides the dope roots conversion! BLAST! Maybe I keep the roots, and just stick ethrac on the base....
Dont mind the string. On the tree is is holding it together tight as glue dries. Around the roots because poster tac not strong enough to hold as I viewed it from all angles and for pictures.
How you gonna manage blending the new paint to the existing?

Excellent write up, exactly what I like reading as someone still building their SCE force with no games played yet! Thanks!
