I sculpted my Be’Lakor out of a modern daemon prince with a Juan Diaz prince’s sword, some Bloodcrusher chains and minimal green stuff. I’ll post it at some point soon.

There is one thats based off of the Primarch Magnus as well. Awesome stuff.

Something that's been bugging me a little for the last week or two: Do you think we'll ever see any of the Daemons getting a Monstrous Infantry line ala Kroxigors or Bullgors or will the closest they get be the Spawn lines like the Beast of Nurgle?

How bout let’s talk about this new Wrath of the Everchosen book instead. Like another new Varanguard battalion in it and mixing Daemons again.

I have gotten progressively more excited the more previews they have done. It is a ton of new content to chew through and given GW's track record with AoS campaign books a good portion of it is likely to be useful for my community. Really want to see what the united daemons allegiance looks like as it is something I've wanted to have a way to do for some time now (GA: Chaos allegiance somewhat defeating the point).

I would say it is likely to happen at some point, but it depends on how flexible your definition of 'infantry' is. Fiends and Beasts set a precedent for daemonic forms being quite bizzare outside the main infantry form.

Consider the more classical definition used in Fantasy Battles 8th Edition and the examples provided.

Do you think they would be viable or interesting, or will they likely never be taken up even if offered.

Anyone pick up the WotE book today? The Varanguard host makes Varanguard heroes and gives them an ability to respawn on a 5+ (the whole unit). Plus a bunch more daemonic host options and Be’Lakor can push wounds onto basic daemons. Can also summon basic daemons on 3D6 at 10+. Bunch more stuff, largely host based so it replaces hosts from the other books. I think Slaanesh has the most options now, since they have 3 in this book, 3 in their own, and a few in the WD a few months back. Nurgle has 4 in this book, tzeentch has 6 in their own book and 2 here, Khorne has 6 total.

The Bloodthirster subfaction is insane. So insane that it can make Skarbrand works and everything!

It has all Bloodthirster need. Run and charge is phenomenal, the command hability is the best one that you could have for a bloodthirster (The attack two times is nice and everything but most of the time it was overkill), the command trait is just great sinergy with the passive bonus, and the relic isn't even bad.

Having 5 bloodthirsters is a trap. 3+Skarbrand or 2+Skarbrand in a Tyrants of Blood Batallion is enough.

I like it, it will be a fun resource to use in my leagues & campaigns. It isn't really balanced, but I've figured out that was a problem with my expectations

I don’t remember...Varanguard Battalion in StD book requires “hosts of the Everchosen” specifically to get, right? So this book doesn’t allow them to have a circle and the hero abilities? It continues to be the bottom battalion of the game. However, if it just requires 3-6 Varanguard to run...then holy crap! It would make it worthwhile!

My STD book is home, I’ve only got WotE with me currently.

The missing boxed set heroes are all going up next Saturday
Get yer Archregents, Archrevenants, Rats with Ratzookas, Vokmortians, and all! GENERAL RELEASES FOR EVERYONE!

At last! Great news for any who've wanted them!

Also there's the hypnocat! And a load of Necromunda and Lord of the Rings stuff. Quite a big week!

Well that's great news all around!

With everything under lockdown and now GW closing stores, I'm taking the time to step back and actually figure out what I want from the game. For years I've sort of just jumped from liking army to army, usually collecting some things and then feeling it didn't work.

I'm really thinking it is time to start exploring the game a bit more competitively/seriously, if for no other reason than to improve my game. The few games I've played I found were very sloppy and used a brute force approach, similar to how I vaguely remember playing WHFB 20 years ago. Basically just move forward and try to get into combat.

A lot of the more nuanced tactics of AOS have escaped me and I feel that if I take a more serious approach to the game it will help improve my gameplay.

Bonereapers are currently winning since the models do look really cool and the fluff is pretty cool but they are a bit FOTM and I'm waiting for actual news on the Lumineth (although my guess is on them being written by the "for fun" team). That said though if I want to play more competitive then I can't care about FOTM or how many people are playing the army so...

Hey guys,

It's been suggested in the Nuts & Bolts section that having a "General Discussion" thread in "AoS General Discussion" doesn't really make sense, and suppresses the creation of new threads because everything just gets talked about in here.

So, we'd like to try and see if we can get more threads going on various topics. I'm going to lock this one, but if you were coming here to post something, why not make a thread for that very topic?

Also, if you want to weigh in on this idea, you can give feedback here:
https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/786725.page

Don't forget to make a new thread though! (Or reply to one, if it's already been created ). Cheers all
