  1. Speaking of battleplans- thehonestwargamer did a run through of the new ones. Podcast: http://www.podbean.com/media/share/dir-tjcn2-437a1dc Or watch the show on twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/thehonestwargamer/v/277467811?sr=a&t=17s
  2. That being said you may find that some of the battleplans dont allow you to use summoned (or units that dont start on the board) to claim an objective.
  3. Riptooth is right at the bottom of the pdf in other underworlds on a 50mm
  4. Bloodstoker cant stack its whippings And @Xasz bloodfactory looks like a no go. P6 in the core rules designers commentry (allegience abilities)
  5. All hands on deck. New faq: https://www.warhammer-community.com/faqs/
  6. No need for foam, stick a magnet under his base and get a metal tray/magnetic sheet in a box is the way forward!
  7. Daemon weapons all the way Even unbuffed I think they are the better option. And if youre using one or two killing frenzies on them then hands down daemon weapons.
  8. I would totally play this as they attack themselves, but would understand if someone else didnt. played a game last year (both khorne) and turn 3 had a massive scrum of skullreapers & bloodwarriors vs wrathmongers & bloodwarriors. Carnage ensued as every unit was triggering something else.
  9. Pretty sure its not this anymore. Detail might be in one of the wh community page articles on their faction
  10. Worth considering how you would handle battleplans like scortched earth. You need a unit on all 3 of your own objective to keep scoring. So a 5 man squad is pretty good if their sole purpose in life it to sit on an objective. Anything beyond that and 10s should be the way to go.
  11. Not worth taking 2 banners. It wasnt worth it at 120. But, theyve opened up the loophole for attack stacking if you take an aspiring db. Gore pilgrims (2 x killing frenzy), aspiring db and a lokoj and a bloodstoker. You could get blood warriors down to 2's to hit rerolling 1s, 2's to wound (on charge) rr 1's with a ridiculous amount of attacks each. No rend though, so maybe with skullreapers are the new bloodletters on the mortal wound front. Drop 300 points for 6 command points should take anything off the board.
  12. Well, glad I asked before making that mistake. Refined Q: Throne + crown, Thrown + scorn or skulltaker? Maybe wait until battleplans are released. If there is something about heros with artifacts of power getting scoring precedent, the Q has been answered. Not a fan of the model. In an army of daemons having a motor powered throne (or wheelchair of khorne as i overheard someone call it in jest a while ago) doesnt quite fit the aesthetic to me. Currently trying to convert it so its more like a chariot being pulled by a jugger, but then also replacing the juggers head with the big maw part. Not sure if my greenstuff skills are good enough to do it justice
  13. Putting Khorne being good or bad aside. Murderhost: in the bloodletter hero slot, what is more survivable or useful, a blood throne or a skulltaker? 7wounds, possibility of regen with maw vs 5 wounds, rr failed saves? Then, Armour of scorn of crimson crown Blood throne has a big base so extra range to buff stuff Skulltaker can give a surprising good punch if the dice are right
  14. Also, i think its unfair to talk about the impact of malign sorcery in terms of just tzeentch and death. Our position vs those two doesnt really leave us worse off than any other faction that has to play against them. Nagash/Arkhan with an umbral spellportal is a sicker thought than anything a balewind ever accomplished. We have an abundance of access to unbind, with +2 (wok), unbind +1 (flesh hound unit of 10), rr to dispel (fleshhounds), rr to casting (secrator), auto unbind (brazen rune) And then there is resiliance to magic- skullcrushers/lokoj (4+ ingore magic mw's), chaos warriors/knights (5+ ignore mortals), brazen rune (2+ ignore magic mw's) Blade of endless bloodshed - expect this will be seen a lot more now talisman of burning blood: a well placed model will give +1 to charge on summoned units. Going from a 9 to an 8 doubles your odds of a successful charge). Then add in a 1cp reroll. Armour of scorn: 5+ ignore magic mortal wounds mark of the bloodreaper: not sure about this. It would have to go on a bloodthirster. Would normally choose to make them hero killers, and kitting one with this would take from their ability to be killy against big things. Chain summoning- run a hero up the board (stoked/command point for a 6" run etc) 4 bloodtithe points gets you a herald a further 12" away then you have another 12" bubble to put a screen of bloodletters down in. If you are playing Nagash a lot locally, Be'lakor could be a good shout to shut him down for a turn. Not sure how well pointed he is to be worth taking in just a standard face all foes list though.
  15. In the other thread I asked about wizard options for khorne a while ago. Not sure about this one, but had a thought. StD Daemon prince, but with tzeentch mark. Would that work? Cant remember exactly what we can/cant ally And that may even hange with the incoming ghb'18 update
  16. So on one hand, its all the list design cost (takes up 1/6 leader slots) but with none of the benefit. (You cant use him to claim and objective in two places of power for instance). However, scyla is mortal, so include him in the bloodmarked warband, he can one of the models you promote to a hero with +1A.
