[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

Im only realising that cultist units ain't even battleline for some reason too.. So half of my list ideas are sacked.

[The Painting Contract - February 2020]

Hopefully will build and paint:

- 10 Great weapon Graveguard

- Krell / Wight King with Black axe

- New Ogroid from Warcry

- Sorceror of Chaos on foot

- Slave to Darkness endless spells

 

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

So if I am running Ravagers and have a unit of Varanspire is that 3 more chances to summon or just the one as they get a turn to become general?

[Warcry- Iron Golems Discussion]

Full Warband ready to rock. Bring on the new Ogroid and Warcry monsters now to support them.

Hey got a chance to finish up my basing and get some more pictures. Any feedback is appreciated!

[The Ravaging Hordes of the Ferrium Mountains. An Iron Golem based Slave to darkness blog]

Hi everyone so I'm going to try and chronicle the growing numbers of my 2020 Age of Sigmar project. I have really got into Warcry in the last few months but seeing the new starter set for Slaves I had to pick them up to have a Warcry themed Age of Sigmar army.

First time collecting more for hobbying sake but dam these models were great. I got stuck into them and in my hurry didn't take many progress pics but going to post some pics for thoughts and feedback. 

 

Even suggestions on what to add and what you think would suit the flavour I'd be happy to listen too, ranting aside here's a few pics and again feedback is much appreciated. (Bases needs finished up)

I will get some unit close ups when basing is done too to add, and hopefully remember to update as I reinforce them.

That's right.. I'm so used to normally doing mono god stuff I don't know why I said that at all.

Yeah reading up a bit it does seem like theirs better bang for my buck in the book but the model is so cracker and a must get for my Warcry side of things. Just be a shame not to use it.

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

So I finally have fired together a 1000pt themed list for my Bloodpox Raiders of Chamon.  A nurgle/khorne mono based force.

Ravager Legion - 1000pts

Leaders

Chaos Lord on Karkadrak [250pts]: General, Khorne

Chaos Sorcerer Lord [110pts]: 1. Binding Damnation, Nurgle

Ogroid Myrmidon [140pts]

Battleline

Chaos Knights [180pts]: 5 Chaos Knights, Cursed Lance, Khorne

Chaos Warriors [100pts]: 5 Chaos Warriors, Chaos Hand Weapons and Chaos Runeshields, Nurgle

Chaos Warriors [100pts]: 5 Chaos Warriors, Chaos Hand Weapons and Chaos Runeshields, Nurgle

Other

Furies [100pts]: 6 Furies

So general idea is that it's an Iron Golem based force and throughout the battle will call apon their hordes. (3 squads of cultists) Starting general will be the Sorcerer who is nurgle to prevent sniping a little bit. Then depending if Lord is in position him or the Ogroid take over. 

Iron golems then fill in where needed either camping or narking with petty shooting attacks and furies stick to knights and Lord to clog up counter attacks somewhat. Yet to actually read book proper to select artifacts and such so suggestions welcome, and all going well done painting soon to post it too (Bar Sorcerer and Ogroid).

[Your Favorite Mercenary.]

I'm itching to pick up a Merc once I finish my full roster but can't settle on who to go with for my Iron Golems.

Maybe something with more bite and speed due to how slow the Golems tend to be. 

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness / Darkoath Discussion]

@Rors If Helcannons came back with a bang to be used with the movement carry on we'd be laughing. Good thematic sheild wall of Iron Golems and a cannon battery would be cool as hell.

[Warcry- Iron Golems Discussion]

With the new Warband boxs ets becoming available this week I'm tempted to flesh out my options now to have access to a full 20 man warband.

Is anyone still campaigning as Iron golems and have any ideas for a decent balanced full warband would consist of?

Only reason I'm thinking of getting the new box instead of just another 8 aside from the obvious have enough is for plenty of grunts. The idea of using too many dupes does put me off big time bar for shield grunts which I can't get enough of.

Pic of the Warband so far too. Just love the look of the Golems.

[Legions of Nagash force.]

So I went and treated myself to soul wars after finishing the Mortarchs to get the Nighthaunt started. Amazing models and were fun to paint! I'm going to need a bigger shelf.. (forgot I have to add Tufts to bases)

[AoS 2 - Grand Host of Nagash Discussion]

I like the idea of your spearhead. It's good and threatening and should out most others on the backdoor from the get go. I might follow it up then with:

Main body:  Necro and 20 GW Grave Guard 

Rearguard: Tomb Banshee and 2x10 Chainrasp hordes.

Im thinking of bringing the Graveguard in at least 1st or 2nd wave due to their speed may even be better as the first wave to tie up sooner and give the Morghast more options.

And then the ghosts in the rear have that bit of extra speed to big down objectives and reinforce where needs it plus a bit of screening at depleted units.

[Legions of Nagash force.]

Hi everyone it's been a while and sorry if this counts as necromancy or anything wasn't sure if I should add here or start a new post.

Recent changes and all got the cogs turning and fire burning for AoS again so finally got around to finishing my Mortarchs to add to the force. (Silly late night Bert lighting pictures)

Any feedback would be appreciated and excited now to get in my nighthaunt and keep the painting notion burning!

[AoS 2 - Grand Host of Nagash Discussion]

That's sounds pretty interesting and I'm sure the speed would catch alot of people out. I wonder how the artifact that turns the king into a caster too might change things up.

[AoS 2 - Grand Host of Nagash Discussion]

Yeah I should be ok. I'm lucky if I can get a game with my bro never mind anyone else.

So gonna grab two boxes in the near future because I can't be letting the nighthaunt side of things outweigh the deathrattle! 

Them and a couple of skeleton war machine crews should fix that balance easily.

[AoS 2 - Grand Host of Nagash Discussion]

Ah right cheers. I will keep the 10 for a simple honour guard on display then and pick up 20 great weapons to start off even. It will be a nice visual difference too from all the other spears and swords.

[AoS 2 - Grand Host of Nagash Discussion]

Few deathrattle hordes age for now then.

Yeah that should be a fun style of play. Few games I have had with age of sigmar has always been splitting my death into two 1000pt lists to try and teach and tempt friends to get into it (no luck ofc). Games are just so quick at that level too.

Anyone have experience with Graveguard so far before the points drop? How do the two versions normally pan out?

I could see trying to run grave guard as battle line at the new points.  Especially in meeting engagements.  Skittles lose a lot when you can only take them in units of 20 max, making grave guard look a bit better by comparison.  

Oh no.. Are skeletons being brought down to a max unit size of 20? I love the big horde look too.

About Graveyard too I'm definitely looking forward to trying them. I only have 10 with sword and board so far just for a fancy Wight King retinue but could be fun painting up some with great weapons too at some point if they are more useful. Or more sword and board of course.

so, you'll like the video about painting green nighthaunts that I'm preparing^^

good  choice, those half corrupted DA are always keeping  bad shadows in their hearts, salamanders instead inflamme all their way (literally ahahah^^)

I prefer touse green on my Seraphons instead^^ (and nighthaunt^^)

Haha that's one of the two I'm considering too!

Might add few ghosts to have 1000 points ready to show the game to people and will definitely check the video out! Or get my childhood hero lizards finally. (Been paitent and praying to the frogs for new stuff though which has stopped me so far)

Please not... otherways I don't have enough tombstones^^ I'm really pressed to convert at least a part of the models  to the new bases^^ and I'm stiill tempeted to realize a mono terrorgheist army (I have yet 4 of 6 ^^). I tremple at the idea when it will bereleased the deadwalker battletome cause I'm avoiding to buil 100 zombies more from some year now...(I have other 200 yet ready...)

 

Do you have "some"prefrence towards green?^^ (are they salamanders or dark angels?)

Haha maybe it's the Irish in me but it's such a good colour normally to use compared to others like red or brighter colours, that over the years it really grew on me! And they would be Salamanders 😁 

[Legions of Nagash force.]

I'm so tempted to get more but not sure to get a different allegiance next or just nighthaunt stuff to add on. Got a new display too and empty shelf's could be used for more models instead of books... 😅

[Legions of Nagash force.]

@TheWilddog Getting them on the table is harder to manage than getting paint on them these days haha

[Legions of Nagash force.]

Thanks I love the whole range so had to have a bit of everything and try and have something usable at the same time 😁

[Legions of Nagash force.]

Hi everyone I have been sitting on these for almost two years (after getting great advice from death forums on what to get) and had time off work due to injury and toon a serious painting notion. Glad to say after 15 years into the hobby for the first time I have a fully painted and based army. Feels really strange haha 😅 Got a chance to spray my Mortarch so that's my treat before I check out some cool new nighthaunt stuff to add.
