The banner from skeletons or zombies would go well with the banshee or just adding morale losses on your alpha strike, but yeah dire wolves might be the best option. If GW doesn’t get more dire wolves in stock soon (I like that old sculpt) I’m going to get some Chaos Warhounds and make some dire wolves.

I need to get MP, Death Battletome and I want to get the Knight of Shrouds at some point, but he is just too expensive for what he brings and I am not rich yet.

What's the "normal" size game for AOS? Also, if I include Wardrummers and Icon bearers, do those replace weapons or are they additive?

1,000 is nice and quick but limited in the toys you can bring. 1,500 is great if you only do 2 Battleline units.

Are Sylvaneth in a lovely place currently? I have been trying to find battle reports from them post-Kurnoth-Hunter nerf, and not having much luck. I keep reading that Tzeentch/Kharadron are basically unbeatable (for Sylvaneth). Most of the lists I see from the last 6 months are this crazy Spite Revevant list, or tons of Dryads and a Luminark of Hysh. Disclaimer: I never get to actually play games, but the thought of a good army helps me stay motivated while painting. dexefiend fucked around with this message at 17:51 on Feb 10, 2018 |

I haven't heard anything about Kharadrons being OP, but Tzeentch has been hosed up ever since GW decided that spamming unsaveable damage was their gimmick. Sylvaneth have a roster about on par with the naked dwarves so I imagine they're not on top of the competitive scene.

Nagash in his battalion with a stack of Morghasts should be a solid counter to DoT mortal spam. Someone did the math and he shrugs off something like 75% of all mortal wounds.

So after reading through the fluff portion of the Malign Portents campaign book I have two thoughts 1. GW are trying really really hard to unfuck the setting with this book, I could go into more specifics if people care but I'll sum it by saying that Malign Portents feels more like something with the name 'Warhammer' should than anything I've read about AoS up to this point. 2. This book feels very much like a "volume 1" of a multipart series, nothing gets resolved at all, everything is set up. This is perfectly fine provided they actually plan on resolving it, I very much expect a second book at some point. One other thing I should mention is that I'm pretty sure Nagash's master plan was already revealed in 'Lord of Undeath' since he reveals at the end that the point of the black pyramid is claim every single soul that dies in Shyish for Nagash regardless of any other claim on it (Sigmar, Chaos God, Other Necromancer, doesn't matter). Which makes everyone dogpiling into Shyish seem like its playing straight into his hands provided that is still canon.

That actually sounds interesting, though I doubt in the grand scheme of things that Felix was even a blip on Sigmar's radar when he was recreating things.

So how are people using the new MP rules? I'm kinda curious how its working out, especially since the prophecy system seems like an interesting way to bring more depth to AoS in the same way Strategems do for 40k.

The biggest thing is the Malign Portents themselves, which are essentially bundles of 40k strategiems. You generate Prophecy Points during army construction and can spend them on these game effects as you play. In GW fashion, the four heroes they've pushed for the campaign (Lord-Ordinator, Warqueen, Cave Shaman and Knight of Shrouds) and the Warscryer Citadel terrain piece also generate points, and the heroes also come with their own bundles of strategems. The book also includes some rules for playing in the spooky lands and a ton of fluff about how Nagash is totally coming back you guys, we're all hosed. It's good motivation to paint up the rest of my stuff, though I have lost a Liberator to his hammer snapping off in the case. I'm hoping to finish a relictor, three prosecutors and ten Liberators before I purchase anything else. The Deleter fucked around with this message at 09:47 on Feb 13, 2018 |

Are these only used during Malign Portents games then I assume?

They can be used whenever but presumably GW is assuming they're going to be mostly used in a Death/Malign Portents themed campaign.

Before MP came out there were some competitive corners of the community that they might be a worthwhile addition to matched play. I don't know how that discussion has progressed since MP's release.

I played a Malign Portents 1000 point 3 player game on Saturday and it was fun. The 2 matched play battleplans in the book change the points accrual to a straight 3 per 500 points instead of a dice roll and the option for both players to agree to bring in a free harbinger each (Chaos and Destruction get +3 points if you do, since theirs are weaker I guess) I like the Realm of Death rules and the Portents but my fear the last few weeks has been that no one will use it because tournaments almost certainly won’t, like Firestorm stuff. But since this book is a lot cheaper than Firestorm and gives stuff to everyone so maybe it will catch on.

I should also note that the Prophecy Point reset each round so you should use them. As points you don't spend are wasted.

Tell me about mortals of Tzeentch? 1) Always go with your first choice. Painting is fun, but it can also be a slog sometimes. You want an army that grabs you 2) Disciples of Tzeentch is an amazing faction. There’s a wide and recently updated model range. You can ally in wider slaves to darkness / other chaos stuff if you like those models too. There’s lots of fun interplay between units. Destiny Dice is an interesting resource mechanic. A mixture of Daemons and non-Daemons works best probably. Keeping your heroes alive might be tricky so you’ll need a few of them.

Those look fantastic. Also: are all the big monsters on the 170mm oval bases? I'm picking up a Hellpit Abomination but it's got the old square base.
