I was the one doing mortal wounds  But yes, that's true.e: Arch-Warlock, Grey Seer, Warpfire Thrower He had some too but I never felt bad taking clanrats off the table regardless. I felt a little bad about it though because I didn't fail to cast a spell for 5 turns. S.J. fucked around with this message at 06:45 on Mar 9, 2018 |

Yeah if it was a larger game he would have been making GBS threads them out for sure. He had a lord on Dracoth that was throwing them out as well as the sniper dudes who head-shot my drat warpfire thrower. He probably brought too many basic dudes for what it's worth, but no biggie. Still learning! I was surprised to see that Rat Ogres can really lay down some hurt if they can get delivered. Nobody got a double turn off so that was something we really didn't experience, but I'm glad at least that abilities seem to all last until the start of your next hero phase, so defensive tech doesn't get completely negated. I got lucky-ish with his lord, my Arch-Warlock did 6 mortal wounds to him with spells in a single turn, then managed to live through a charge from his lord by a single wound, and then died to my halberd. My opponent was not happy

I just played a Skaven game against my opponent. Funny enough every time I tried to overcharge one of my machines or my warlock engeener's warp lightning I got a one. So my warlock, warpfire thrower, and poison wind mortar all exploded.

Mortal wounds are good yes. They’re particularly good against Stormcast though as they tend to have good saves which they can augment further with buffs.

I was doing some Mathhammer this morning, and I thought I had a revelation! Tree Revenants were actually worth their points! So were Spite Revenants! ... then I realized that I had put 10 models worth of attacks for 80 points. Turns out Sylvaneth loving suck at killing stuff. Edit: I had a Branchwych on sprue, so I made a second Branchwraith. This one has the ponytail like the Wych.  Edit: I guess I will have to just paint them and hope that they get buffed somehow. dexefiend fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Mar 10, 2018 |

Great weekend progress! Assembled 5 Blood Warriors, 20 Bloodreavers, 2 Slaughterpriests, 1 Bloodsecrator, 1 Skullgrinder, and 2 Exalted Deathbringers. Two or three more weekends like this, and my Khorne army will be assembled!

Sick. I got my Arch-Warlock assembled and an entire Sigmarite Mausoleum set for terrain. Next step is to get weapon arms onto all my clan rats and getting a little bit of sand basing around the cork I've already started. How is the Khorne stuff? A couple guys in my area say they haven't kept up power wise buuuut I'm not sure they're the kinds of opinions I trust

I never actually get to play games. From a math perspective, Khorne is probably one of the strongest offenses in the game, but it is so dependent on their characters. By killing the Bloodsecrators, you significantly weaken the army. Most of the batallions are also disabled by killing one or two models. They also don't have many tricks. They can't keep up with moment 10"+ guys. They have almost no ranged attacks. So while their characters can be picked off, they have no ability to do the same. So, I think they will be fun in a "Charge!" kinda way. I am looking forward to painting a horde of insane cannibals, so that is what is keeping me going. Wrathmongers, Slaughterpriests, Blood Warriors. The models are rad. Edit: I am only talking Mortal Khorne. That's what I like. The Demon + Mortal combo can be good too. ... but it still relies on lynchpin characters. 30 Bloodletters, a Bloodstoker, a Bloodsecrator, a Slaughterpriest with Killing Frenzy. It's a stupidly powerful combo. Most tournament lists are built around this. dexefiend fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Mar 12, 2018 |

Had my first 3 games of AoS Saturday, 2 as part of Path to Glory and 1 a demo game for a friend. Won twice, lost once. First battle was against an awesome guy name Eric with an equally awesome Flamespyre Phoenix as his Champion. Mission was The Vendetta and he made the Phoenix his rival unit as predicted (mine were Skinks). I lost this one, narrowly I think, because I did not squeeze out every inch of movement I could and underestimated how far his Reavers could travel to finish off my Skinks. If they'd moved just a bit more or I teleported them every chance i got the Phoenix would have been dead on my next turn.  Second battle was against Mandy and her Sylvaneth. The mission was Altar of the Gods which I had an inbuilt advantage for (hold 3/4 altars at the end of your turn, simple with Seraphon's teleport). This instant win felt lame so we slugged it out til the end. I tabled the Sylvaneth in the end but not til round 4.  Third battle was the demo unrelated to the campaign with a friend's friend's Stormcast. He took the game a bit too seriously for a demo and got frustrated when the dice wouldn't see his plan through. Also got frustrated when my Ripperdactyl's exploding beak attacks caught him for 30+ wounds on his Liberators, the first time I'd ever see it truly go off the chain like that (thanks Blot Toad). I won this one too but it was by concession against an opponent who doesn't seem to have much fun when he's not winning. Lessons learned: Controlling whether your opponent gets double turn is often stronger than getitng it yourself With Seraphon, A.B.T. Always be teleporting. My warband is balanced for narrative fights like these to summon a unit or two per game. It's just part of the Slann's value and why he's a top-tier champion for Path to Glory. Bastildons are an auto-take. They are so good I cannot imagine not taking them.

Your victories are just going to make your Slann's warband stronger too.

The rumor is that Teclis abandon them because they weren't pretty enough. They supposedly have a lasting grudge with the Sylvaneth and High Elves over this.

Is there any reason to not include the musician and standard bearer guys when playing matched play? I never see them called out specifically when I look at other people's army lists, but they don't cost points afaict so I'm not sure why you just wouldn't always include them.

Another battle report but with no photos I guess. Three way fight between my Stormcast, some Gutbusters and Khorne. Ogres are horseshit but the real danger was not paying attention to the enormous horde of Khorne until it was too late. RIP.

When Teclis, Tyrion, Morathi and whatever Malekith's new name is imprisoned Slaanesh they each took a quarter of the recovered elven souls to repopulate their people's. On a chunk of the recovered souls the taint of chaos was too strong and they've been permanently warped. That's why DoK have Melusai and Khinerai. Presumably some of Teclis' souls bore the taint as well, so when he tried to reforge them in the image of the elves from the coastal regions of Lothien they ended up grotesque. This is all just guesswork based on the new lore from DoK, but Teclis does have a history of ruthless calculus so it doesn't seem too far fetched.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that an Elvish God would be a dick or have dickish tendencies. All the AoS Gods are flawed somehow - Sigmar threw a strop and let entire realms burn.

That's not quite right. The Melusai and Khinerai are deliberately grotesque, they're Morathi's chosen and are designed for murder after all. The Chaos tainted souls only started to show up after Morathi's lil' modification to the trickle of Aelf souls being extracted from Slaanesh kicked in, giving us the Doomfire Warlocks and whatever monsters Malerion has cooked up. The DoK book makes it sound like the Deepkin abandoned the Aelven gods for some reason and that's why Teclis disowned them, hence their grudge against the Aelven pantheon.

Was working off of this quote: "As a result of the taint of Slaanesh, many aelven souls are permanently marred or twisted and, in physical form, mirror the vile Daemons of the Great Enemy. " Morathi's time inside Slaanesh was what warped her into the snake form. Macdeo Lurjtux fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Mar 15, 2018 |
