    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news- crimson crown isnt a 6+. Its worded as a 6. So stacking +1 to hit doesnt make it a 4+. It would just roll of a 4 for the extra attack. There are a couple of other items in the BoK book like this too. They where previously faq'd as being a being synonymous with a 6+. Thats is no longer in the most recent faq for aos2. I suspect if it does reappear (given how things are worded in the newer battletomes) it will be a natural 6 before modifiers. Sad times. However, if it ever does become a 6+ again what about: Gorepilgrims, WoK BT (crimson crown) BIR (ghyrstrike +1 hit +1 wound). You could yolo the BIR with a run + charge from the WoKs command ability. Run the WoK to keep crimson crown in range. Assuming the bloodthirster is in range of your banner and all the 3 slaughter priests make a successful prayer your BIR would be: 5 attacks, hitting on 2s (rr 1s because you charged that turn) A 2+ to hit gives you an extra attack So max 10 hits maybe get 8/9 if the dice dont hate you. all wounding on 2s, but each magic 5+ you get does an explosion of 3 mortals to each unit in an 8" bubble. Outrageous carnage indeed!

    These days I can totally picture Sayl skulking in a the corner of a tavern crying into a pint while muttering about how he use to be a big deal in this realm.

    As mentioned- you defo cant stack the bloodsecrator ability for +1 attack. It shouldnt really be up for debate, but if youre running slaughter priests primarily for their prayers/buffs and not just to tick off a mandatory battallion requirement (eg dark feast) youre missing a trick. IMO Gorepilgrims turns slaughterpriests from a liability to a competitive advantage. Downside to two bloodsecrators is the lack of max effective range- gore pilgrims can get the rr to cast bubble into your opponents deployment zone. Also, two bloodsecrators, two models, two drops. GP's gets you 4 leaders and two battleline in one drop. No point having two banners if your opponent hits you with an alpha stike and causes some serious battleshock You can still daisy chain a unit backwards to the bloodsecrators buff area. You only need one model in the unit in range for the whole unit to get +1a. Slaughter priests in combat.. that +1 to pray only works if they made a kill (slew an enemy) in 'THE previous turn'. Not 'YOUR previous turn'. Youll need to get a double turn to benefit from this. Slightly harder to orchestrate in aos2 with the priority roll changes. Also why put them in combat when you can do blood boil at range? A kill is a kill.. Doesnt say they have to get it from combat. If you know your opponent is going to come gunning for your bloodsecrator use this to your advantage, get him to overreach to get in range, then bloodbind that unit further up the table and straight into your killbox.

    Fair play- note to self.. always reread the manual before posting.

    Shackles indeed Gorepilgrims w/ bronzed flesh + mystic shield. get yourself on a 2+ save rr1s. Gorepilgrims w/ killing frenzy + skullgrinder. If you ever got a skullgrinders anvil ability to go off in range things would just get crazy

    Summoning is at the end of the movement phase- so no. Unless your doing the 8bt point one in the hero phase- in which case yes they can move in your movement phase

    Hi! Welcome to the combat thrills and blood spills of khorne! Two mammoths will wreck someones day! depends what/how you are playing- if its using the battle plans for matched play (eg going to a tournament) you may struggle with scoring objectives in the ones geared towards having multiple heros in your army- youre only 7 wounds away from not being able to score in the entire game. If the selection is from all 18 matched play scenarios its a bit less of a concern Also one hero, you can only use one of the two artifacts you have access to. Ghyrstrike + disciple of khorne would give you 4 attacks 2s to hit 2s to wound (& 4+ on charge does 3 wounds instead of d3 if youve popped his command ability). The remainder of the battleplans are most models in a given range. Juggers have big bases, so you could be out done by a big block of infantry. On the flip side, juggers turned sideways are a pretty good stand in for a chaff screen if you need to wall off stuff or protect from an alpha strike. They are also pretty hard to shift once they are there. Its a 3 drop list- odd are very much in your favour of getting choice over first turn. Worth being wary that someone could casts cogs and literally box a mammoth in and stop it from being able to move all game. If i had the models I would totally give it a go!

    ...but Skulls! Skulls for the skull throne

    Ive been considering using one with its primary role being objective holder. Rather than have a unit sit and deal no damage all game its like paying 50-80 (depends what its superseding) to get 5 pot shots. Currently cant find those points in the list to spare. Plus a lot of the new battleplans you just have to claim the objective then you can move off it but still retain ownership. So no real need to squat unless your opponent has some movement/drop from the sky/appear at the board edge ability. Also thinking about doing a conversion with one of the 40k forgefiend/forgefiend/maulerfiend variants. big gun protruding where is head should be- like that baddie from transformers 3. Not sure about summoning- 5 bloodtithe seems just as overcosted as 150 points for what it can do normally does.
  12. TheAdequateWargamer
    This! And that every model is subtly different, the amount of times you paint all the brown then realise someone has an extra strap around their arm that you missed and now have to stop and go back to.. Or a hidden skull dangling from the back of their belt.. Its infuriating!

    Perhaps just a massive combo of a lot of smaller things rather than one big reason as to why wrathmongers could be the sleeper unit for aos2: Rules change- can no longer wuss out and choose not to attack units you are in combat with More big monsters (perhaps because among other things you can do fun stuff with the MS realm artifacts)- and in some cases incentivisation for them to be camping on an objective Fewer massive horde units - msu as a natural defence against all the horrific anti horde magic spells (looking at your gaunt summoner). Less of a focus on shooting- points changes, -1 to hit heros, idoneth, one of the realms takes you down to 6" range.. Magic; unbind at a greater range. Arcane bolt took a nerf. More of a focus on buffing spells rather than pew pew spells. Objectives as close as 9" away in the new battle plans. Vs 12" in the old ones. Inches make a big difference in getting a slow unit like wrathmongers in range of a charge or to run onto the objective T1.
  14. TheAdequateWargamer
    toying with this idea- not 100% sold Quite like the +2 damage combo from immense power + death dealer. you just have to pick your charge and make sure you do the hitting first. You can defo engineer doppleganger cloak so you wont get attacked in combat, but doesnt help vs magic or shooting and your damage output isnt as high. Good for camping an objective perhaps. Theres another item in MS that has ignore all rend modifiers that might be worth a look. Keeps you on a 4+. Maybe get you 3 rounds vs Nagash.

    If you dont want to wait until next year there is a firestorm fours event there later in oct which looks like fun. Team event, but you dont need to signup with other people. Didnt see the stardrake. Stand in for a Khorne dragon perhaps?
