Fixxer Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Go with the Lord of Change. I agree with DPs too much of a gamble in DoC armies. The giant chicken is a really cool model too, the only greater daemon model that has stood the test of time, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Got a couple games in last night, with mixed results :) Against Brother G my plaguebearers managed to hold a warsphinx for a few turns and kill a bone giant, but in the end were wiped off of the board. I should have kept my daemon prince out for some more combats, but instead ran him straight into the outhouse and then took a beating from his other units. Next game was against Exile's Skaven. Magic and shooting were very friendly to me (Aside from killing 13 pink horrors, that was no good), and treason of tzeentch made it really hard for him to deal with making leadership rolls. Luckily I got his doomwheel off the board before it could hunt down my daemon prince! In the end I managed to stop him from getting any units to his outhouse, the warpflame rule finishing off his last three gutter runners with a lucky burst. Props to Pete, his doomflayer killed off a beast of nurgle in a single round of combat. Nicely done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanNinja Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'm with fixxer, the LoC is just too cool. I like the LoC and Slaanesh ones equally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I found my hexwraith models that I had planned on modeling at the 4 horsemen for a different project, I think that I'm going to keep the aesthetic but use them as a unit of 4 screamers. As for the burning chariot, I can either buy the model new, or kit-bash with what I have now. I have a TON of bits from the hurricanum/luminark kit, so I think I will use that. It will look pretty sweet flying through the air, piloted by pink horrors with a giant laser beam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudra34 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 After a crazy week at work, including our 4th anniversary celebration, I have gotten almost no painting done this week (On the plus side, I still look damn good in a suit and tie). Today I managed to get a few layers down on various horrors, but no real progress. For tonight's game, I'm making a list that can play to the scenario, and move quickly to the tower. Herald of Tzeencth - Level 2, Tzeentch 15 Pink Horrors - Standard, Musician 23 Plaguebearers - Full Command, Banner of Swiftness 3 Beast of Nurgle Beast of Nurgle 5 Furies 5 Furies Flaming Chariot Ok, so it's as fast as I can do with the models that I have available. The furies will make a b-line for the tower, come back on to the table, and head for the tower again. The nurgle units will hopefully bog down enemy units, and the tzeentch units will blast open smaller, faster units with shooting and magic. Look forward to seeing everyone tonight!

rudra34 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 A few shots of the horror that I finished last week. Now that I have the colors down, I'm getting better with the layering. This one is a bit more saturated than the first. Also, I'm glad that people like the idea of the lord of change. However, I'm likely to do a conversion for the model, so the mega-chicken might not be making an appearance. I like the idea of him being represented by something less tangible; less based in reality; less solid. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Tower scenario was very interesting this week. I got in two games against Peanut's Wood Elves and Ben's Lizards. The game with Peanut was freaking weird. I kept rolling misfires to move the tower, so he sucked up a lot of my units on my turns. I also happened to roll box-cars in two separate magic phases, bringing 2 new units of daemons onto the board. His wild riders backed up by lore of life absolutely wrecked anything that they touched. My tactic in both games was just to make a b-line for the tower, so fighting was minimal. Against Ben it was a similar situation. We would get onto the table, and move for the tower. I had a lot of luck with shooting and magic, but coud never finish units off completely. At the end he had two units of skinks which were just single models, and I never finished them off. The weird thing in this game was that we both rolled like crap for our units to come back onto the table. The board was a ghost town for many turns. I am really loving the burning chariot and might have to get cheesy and bring a pair of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJP Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 I am really loving the burning chariot and might have to get cheesy and bring a pair of them. Along with a continuous loop of Chariots of Fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 After seeing the rules for the Legions of Chaos army, I think I will be shifting the daemons in that direction. A beasts and daemon army is just to tempting to pass up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don't Panic Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 yea im starting to get excited. festus in gor?! 3++ carpet doombull. minos -1 to hit... slaanesh on raiders... i think i can deal with this army now lol. im also going to add some slaanesh daemons i think and make it a nurgle/slaanesh theme(except doombull and casters). but nurgle beastmen is going to be fun.

rudra34 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Here's a beastmen/daemon list which seems cheesy, yet beautiful. Great Bray Shaman - Level 4, Beasts/Shadow/Death (undecided), Mark of Nurgle, Herdstone, Talisman of Endurance - 325 Doombull - Mark of Tzeentch, Talisman of Preservation, Flying Carpet, Great Weapon - 355 Wargor - Mark of Nurgle, BSB, Gnarled Hide, Heavy Armor, Shield, Warrior Bane - 146 Bray Shaman - level 1, Shadow Hagtree fetish (pick an enemy unit with 24", you may re-roll wounds against that unit in the magic phase) - 95 Herald of Tzeentch - Tzeentch - 90 10 Horrors - Musician, Standard - 150 10 Horrors - Musician, Standard - 150 10 Horrors - Musician, Standard - 150 10 Ungor Raiders - 60 Tuskgor Chariot - Mark of Nurgle - 90 28 Bestigors - Mark of Nurgle, Standard, Musician, Banner of Discipline - 425 Beast of Nurgle - 60 Flaming Chariot - 150 Flaming Chariot - 150 The bestigors and doombull do all of the combat in this list, while the horrors, herald, and shadow wizard hunker around the stone, picking units off the board one at a time. The Flaming Chariots aren't OTT or anything, I just like them. Besides, they bring a shooting element to the list. This comes off as a bit too gimicky and cheesy for me to bring to friendly games, but it would be a fun bash-skulls tournament list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valourunbound Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 You bring a flying 3++ doombull, I will bust out the fellblade. Heck, I should bust it out anyway. I feel sorry for the less fortunate manthings who don't have the fellblade. It's a good time to be a rat. In all seriousness, do the units of ten horrors work out for you? I know they're primarily there to do magic, but I feel that you need more than one big block to be able to survive a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I've never used the list, so who knows? I don't think you need more than one block to be successful, especially with this kind of insane magical dominance. Clearly it would be better against some armies than others, but will still be a challenge to do well against. If you are handing out enough wounds with tzeentch magic, then one of those units might well be up to 25-30 horrors before anything reaches it. And if you bring the fell blade, then I will be staying away from it with the bull. No reason to go after that warlord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratrek Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I don't think Beast spam in small units is going to work well with Unstable. Oh Mr V, I wouldn't get too attached to that FellBlade. Should GW ever actually get around to remaking the Skaven book that puppy will be gone sadly.

Oh Mr V, I wouldn't get too attached to that FellBlade. Should GW ever actually get around to remaking the Skaven book that puppy will be gone sadly. The Fell Blade and Weeping blades are THE signature magic weapons in the Skaven book. The Fell Blade was built to destroy Nagash; its simply central to the storyline of the Warhammer world. It will stay and still cost 100 points. Love the list Rudra, Id like to see the raiders marked nurgle, as I assume you are using the nurglings. Plus w/10 they'll be more of a nuisance to support troops in CC. I understand thats a lot of points tho. Im embracing the combination, obviously, as you will see a good mix of Slaanesh/Tzeench/Nurgle coming from my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeroZero Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 MN- Was more to use the beast book cheese. Never having a magic phase below 12 dice is gross when you got 3 shadow mages to completely douche moves and engage where you want. Also spot removal is awesome. I'm going to stand by my point earlier. Combo books are bad without self limitung players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kremmet Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Also Exalted Flamers aren't much good when they can't march and shoot (they can't join the Raiders to gain Skirmish). Love the carpet bull plan as Flying Carpet=best plan always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratrek Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 I'm aware of that Fixxer. However, the Fellblade was just destroyed in the Nagash book. So if they ever get around to a Skaven book, one can presume it will be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
