Congrats man! You are living my dream. I too hope one day to have a fully painted army. Though my issue is technically less of a time one and more of a motivation issue... and the fact I keep hopping between projects *sigh* Tbh I'd settle for a fully painted 1k army at the moment... I'm very terrible at this whole finishing projects thing Even my mordheim warbands never get finished. Anyway best of luck in future painting endeavours! I look forward to seeing pictures and one day hope to join you in the painting hall of fame that only those with at least 1 finished 2000 point army can join.

I for one am very excited. But then again I am also a chaos fan so the chaos only aspect doesn't put me off. But yeah it definitely feels very necromunda gang, with them all being variants of the same kinda race (imperial humans for necromunda, chaos humans for warcry) of course hopefully like necromunda they'll have more added and hopefully a bit quicker (a year long release for all 6 of necromundas gangs really killed the drive for it at my club) I'm interested to see more of the factions, so far it's seem to shown a beast-like clan similar to the darkoath we already have, a gladiator style clan and lots of chaos gribblies. Hopefully it won't be too long till more news. But I could wait release date wise... gotta buy theatre tickets next month so can't have GW throwing more expensive starter sets at me and critical hitting my wallet I'm gonna predict starter set will likely be 2 10 man warbands, either 2d board like necromunda or a couple of 3d ruins like kill team. And probably priced around £95ish Looking forward to seeing more clans definitely, the serpent symbol intrigues me greatly. Possibly a sneaky poison clan?

How did you do the red bloody spectral style?

White fading into the pink or blue could be really cool! But I mainly suggest that because I really like the pink and blue but you said you wanted to go more white so a gradient would likely be cool. Depends whether you're comfortable painting that though.

So my 1500 point list consisting of: 2x Archregent 1x Gk on TG 1x royal TG 1x royal ZD 10x ghouls Did very well against my opponents spiderfang. He had 3 big spiders (one with a shaman) a boss on smaller spider which managed to do 20 morral wounds in one go with his poison against poor Terrance the terrorgheist who only had 4 wounds left. And 2x10 spider riders and 1x5 spider riders. Our scenario was the one with 4 objectives (one in your zone, 2 middle etc) and i managed to win with 22 or so VP to his 5. We both made some mistakes ajd forgot things as we're new to our armies which could have cost him the game. He'd mostly deployed on one side so I rushed up my TG's to slam his spiders hard and stop them getting past and as such was able to capture 3 objectives turn one after summoning flayers. Against goblins the screams were pretty good, even if my poor dice rolling hurt. Flayers also proved nice at killing his little boss in melee with some lucky sixes and my ghoul king going first always helped me as well as rerolling my maw attacks got me some nasty 6's and ate a big spider. I forgot about our feeding frenzy command ability until toward the end unfortunately which would have helped more earlier. I found TG's aren't as tough as I'd hoped but were able to stall him enough to get me objective points. Their big bases are nice between terrain for blocking it. I do think in most games I'd prefer horrors as they're very punchy. All in all feels like a good core start, will just have to work out how to progress to 2k. Maybe with a 3rd terrorgheist

Oh awesome! I'll have to pick some up now. Any clue when your terrorgheist plates will get in so you can show them off too?

Cheers! Only issue being I only have 1 archregent unfortunately so potential option is 2 units of 10 ghouls and have 2 kings on terrogheists for summoning? Though they don't get the free summons. I'll have a look around and see if I have something I can proxy for now to test out the 2 archregents before picking up a second on ebay or finding a nice third party model to rep it.

So I'm going to be having a 1500 point game against some spider focused gloomspite on Wednesday and in order to test out some Gristlegore fun (and not need to build too many extra models) I'm considering the following list: GKoTG - 400 General Abhorrent Archregent - 200 Terrorgheist - 300 Battleline Zombie Dragon - 300 Battleline 30 Crypt Ghouls - 300 Battleline 1500/1500 Now my idea is to have the ghoulie ghouls for any objective shenanigans or to just go and rush in with lots of attacks (or to screen if it ends up a much more killy focused game) but the main weight will be pulled by the monster mash, against grots the screams should do well. I'm thinking using my archregent and king to summon in some flayers/horrors (I'm probably gonna have 1 of each built by then) to bring in the extra power. I've not a huge idea how spiders play but they have poison that can mortal wound right? Any CC on the list would be welcome. I'm expecting lots of spider riders and maybe 2 arachnarocks? Not too sure on what he has.

I have to say the purple and blue really go nicely together on that! I'd suggest putting an agrax earthshade wash over that to add some quick shading and really bring it together. But it's definitely a nice, and very different, colour scheme! Hope you enjoy the army

Some renders would be lovely.

Anyone got any tips for converting a ghoul king into an archregent so I can have an 'archregent on terrorgheist' for my general as dislike the idea of a king being general if archregent is around. Also need to look at a way to royal up my terrorgheists a bit more. @JackStreicher any pics of those armour plates on terrorgheists?

Thanks! This army is my first biiiiig army conversion project. And to tell the truth is a very slow burn project due to the costs and time it takes to do the conversions. Probably had it as a project for nearly half a year now and only just almost at a playable 2k list built. It's worth it for me though, i love converting so having a full army project I can mess around with has been nice. Thankfully I've kept costs down due to having a rather large bits box nowadays so only needed to buy kharadron stuff mostly.

And whilst my madness is still in full bloom the labour of love that gave it it's method is nearing completion. And it's really coming together! My only issue is it's had to be more angled than I'd like to fit within the height bounds of the 'realmgate' but with the clouds it looks like it's rising up magnificently out of them! And I'm quite proud I'm pretty proud I've managed to achieve this just gotta trim the clouds for the base and then finally add on my energy arcs from the gate itself to give it the proper appearance of having just materialised into the realm, bursting forth from the massive gateway to soar through the clouds before dropping down onto the foe to rain aether death upon them!! Ahem... Anyway here's a WIP of the energy Using the creeping vines kit with the leaves cut off for them. Will possibly need to cut them down a bit further but should look good

Cheers. Once based it should have the appearance of coming out from a giant realmgate stretching above the clouds, complete with energy arcing across it. But unfortunately got to finish painting all the different bits before I can put it all together!

For me it started when i got the conversion idea for shadow pirates and my doppleganger cloak admiral kitbash. The project sounded so fun i had to do it! No clue about everyone else though. It's odd for what is a rather poor army to see a large surge but probably mostly comes down to aesthetic. They're such a unique and very AoS theme. But I'm not sure really I'm afraid!

So good news today. Even more work has been done on the ironclad! And once I get it finished and my special base done it will be ready to set sail at the head of my fleet! Look forward to seeing this beauty rising up through the clouds soon!

Slowly but surely my work on my shadow pirate kharadrons continues currently with my ironclad. Unfortunately my ironclad and frigates were bought fully assembled so are proving a bit of a pain to paint. But we're getting there at least. Almost done on this one, need to drybrush golden griffon to dull down the gold a little as golden griffon is paler and less bright. Then just crew and little details.

Ahh yep the 'has not used before in the battle' that teaches me to skim them looking for the wording 'can only be used once per battle'

Well flayers definitely seem better but the -2 does make me wince a bit. We'll generally need to roll rather high to get any mortal wounds outside of melee unless vs skaven. And the summoning command abilities don't have a once per battle wording which is nice for the throne.

Those have some great character to them! Very nice. I definitely agree on the flayers either that or change it to 2d6 vs bravery and dealing 1d3 mortal wounds regardless of how much you beat it by. That way they still get the bravery hitting mechanic but damage is more well rounded and not relying on fighting specific units like skaven or beastmen to have any effect.

Both terrorgheist and zombie dragon battleline eh? Sorry ghoul king, looks like you'll be on foot. Man I'm liking gristlegore more and more. Though having to buy, paint and transport more terrorgheists/zombie dragons is a painful thought. I'm gonna need some like supersized boxes. At least I can use the terrorgheist and dragon I have to avoid needing 3 units of 30 ghouls though. And fitting in monsters will be easier. I'm very very interested to see more. And looking forward to see how our summoning command abilities might change. I get the feeling we could be really thirsting for command points. Hopefully there'll be some fun battalions

Tbh if there were skaven players in my area I would likely appreciate flayers much more That being said my dad does play BoC... and their bravery is notoriously low too... Still it would be nice for them to be able to affect bravery 7 stuff (the most common bravery I find) and maybe do a set d3 when above instead of difference. Yeah it's something I'd love to be able to do but I haven't even finished my 1 for my vampires/ghoul kings to sit atop. Too much picking out bones and add to that I hate painting wing webbing. I'm really hoping someone can make a viable list out of lots of dragons though as I'd love to see it work well, if only just to show armies without 70 bajillion models can do well. Also because a heavy dragon army just sounds awesome. I'm lucky that my colour scheme is just spray fang, drybrush grey, drybrush white, pick out details for my FeC but ye gods I'm gonna cry from all this painting I've got to do. So we'd best hope the new tome gives them fun tricks and playstyles to make it all worth it (and give me a reason to get out my terrorgheist since I never use it in LoN)

Hopefully the throne we'll only need 1 of like herdstones. I can also imagine it likely being set up in our zone and having a possibly increasing aura like the herdstone. Or possibly acting like a priest and picking a unit within x to apply an interesting buff to? I'm super digging the archregent though and really hope they add an option for him on a dragon or something but considering the GW ethos of no unit if there's no model for it that's unlikely. Personally I'd like to see them upgrade flayers a bit. I don't see the scream as particularly useful and can't really imagine taking them over horrors unless I desperately need fly. Which is a shame as they look pretty great. Hopefully we'll get a community article today to give a bit more of a lowdown on some of the tome abilities. I'm hoping we'll get a bit of a modified version of the delusion esque abilities so getting to pick a delusion for our army to give different small bonuses since delusions are a bit part of the army fluff so it feels like a fun idea. My least favourite thing about this release is it's gonna get me to try painting all my ghouls... Probably easier than painting up 3 zombie dragons for battleline tbh.

I for one welcome our new gallant, chivalrous, slightly cannibalistic overlords! Stoked about the new battletome and even though we don't have a huge amount of units getting them improved somewhat would be lovely. And DoK and kharadrons are similarly small option armies. Of course the best news is zombie dragon battleline. Bring forth the monster cavalry? Though I can't seeing a heavy dragon list being too useful. Though having to not take 3 ghouls if you want them as big units is nice. Not sure the ZD is as good without a king on top though.

Really nice list guide! I might have to try out something like this myself. I originally thought you'd have the blood stalkers for shooting but the celestar ballistas are probably more reliable. I do like the idea of having a range of options though, will have to toy with some MSU ideas myself. And much nicer on the wallet than hordes of witch elves
