Do Henchman squads have a limit on the number of a given type you can take?  It seemed to me when I was looking at it earlier that you can take up to 12 Daemonhosts, for an example.  I had thought that they were restricted to a max of 4 of a given henchman.  Are they unrestricted, now, and I'm just remembering a relic from a past age of 'Dex?

Took that away.

 

That said, they gave the "psyker" option the Brotherhood of psykers rule, so no matter how many there are in a squad, they squad only generates 1 warp charge and doesn't gain any extra powers.

 

The other thing is that C: INQ can only take Santic Daemonology (they have other disiplines too, just only daemonology disipline is santic.). They still add warp charges very easy, but no malefic daemonology.

 

Daemonhosts are also no longer daemons. They are functionally daemons, but lack the special rule.

 

The other cap implemented is that they can only take 1-2 HQ and 0-3 Elites in their detachment, which means no more than 3 Henchmen squads (which are elites) and nothing is objective secured (Even with coteaz).

I think I have most of the contents of a 6th edition Dark Vig starter.  I'm contemplating getting a 7th starter for mini-rules and cool chaos bits.  I have previously thought about Fallen Angels since I had the Dark Angels stuff going.  "Knights of Britannia" work just as well, keeping the sword and wings motif, and anything else Gothic Angel.  So, I could have two biker squads and a couple Dev squads.  I'm not interested in Termies.  Honestly, I'm not interested in more ablative wounds in this.  I'd rather add a Second Conclave.  

 

I could add a Dark Angels Conclave, couldn't I?

 

3x Knights

Conclave w/ 4 Libbies

Dark Angels Conclave w/4 Libbies

 

That's legal and ITC legal, right?  I'm pretty sure I can fit that at 1850.

So I picked up a Lord of Skulls NIB for 80 today.  I'm torn between converting it into a Knight I plan on taking as a Warlord often, or building it as a Lord of Skulls since I'm going to be building enough Khornate Demons to do a Daemonkin list should I want to.  

FW Experimental Rules, such as the Chaos Knights, are ITC legal now. And the Knight of Khorne does gain BftBG when taken in a Daemonkin Detachment. Just something to keep in mind.

Picked up a box of Bloodletters today.  Planning on getting SM dex tomorrow.  There is a league starting on the 10th, I'm going to try to participate in.  Sadly, Imperial Knights aren't allowed until the Apoc game at the end.  Single Codex, Standard FOC, no allies.  I'm going to inventory my Night Lords to see what I can cobble together.  Space Marines, with 2 Libbies to get as much summoning as I can from the Codex.  After I get a bit more familiar with the Codex this weekend, I'll decide how I want to handle Tigger, as well as the way my guys are modeled.  No need to borrow trouble from tomorrow, however, as I don't know what I even have.  I do have a box of Bloodletters.

 

 

 

And 3 Knights and a Lord of Skulls for the Apoc Game   :ph34r:

Started sorting Marines.  ;-;  Taking them cross country in inappropriate storage receptacles was about as kind as you can imagine it being.  

 

Some early thoughts:

 

3 Marines on Juggernauts - Give them Multi Meltas and call them an Attack Bike Squadron.  

 

1 Marine on Bike (DV Plas) - Possibly a Bike Libby for the Conclave, but I don't think the Conclave is a valid choice in League.  

 

I should strip everything.  

 

Where the hell is my bitz box?

 

 

League Points Progression:
February 10th- 23rd - 500pts
February 24th- March 8th - 750pts
March 9th- 22nd - 1500pts
March 26th - Apocalypse

FNP marines for Herald fodder.  Loth for Invisibility.  Knight for Knightly duties.  Demon summoning with the rest.  10-11 Greater Demons I can get into play.  <3

 

This is what I'm building for "regular" play.

 

It's nice having a plan of action.

 

25 models.

I did mean routine event play, not pick up games, so I'll take your comment as positive support.   :biggrin:   I've never used psykers until recently as I mostly played Tau and Black Templar.  

 

The visuals of Librarians melting and popping and Bloodthirsters ripping out of their carapaces delights me to no end.  I think in casual play I wouldn't go more than a single Libby conclave, that's still putting 5  GUOs or Thirsters into play.  Hahahaha  How's that for a 500 point list, a single Libby Conclave.  Jesus tits....

 

 

 

Ugggh.  I just thought about the number of Greater Daemons I currently own (zero) in comparison to the number I'm talking about being able to field (11 before factoring in heralds summoning GDs).  

 

 

Instead of Sacrificing both Conclaves to Demons, I could shave 125 points to give one group Termie Armor:

As is, without duplicating Models or slightly more complicated conversions (Probably using the rest of the SM Resin Captain line), there are only 8 PA Libbies in the line.  Mepheston I'm not including.  The Chaos Sorcs just don't look Libby enough.

I dunno man it just seems like an Age of Sigmar list with no regulations. When I saw it all I thought was ok so my list is Nagash, with a bunch of Necromancers, two min units of skeletons, and a Carmine Dragon. My theme is crazy undead cool kids party am I right? If this is what makes you happy then try it out but I think as an opponent I would be frustrated.
