Hi all,

I promised a good match, and I definitely have one!

Nurgle vs Khorne


Drawn Battlelines

















































I think that takes me to 8/9 victories in SCGT AoS. I'm looking to tweak my list, possibly by replacing the Deamon Prince and the bloodletters summoning pool. Not to sure what with yet. Perhaps a Gaunt Summoner.

Thoughts?

*Will be back later to give some thoughts on where I went wrong in this match up.

Thanks,

Here's my kitbash for a stand in Louen Leoncoeurr. Temporary base until I paint and place him on his Hippogryph mount(using the Empire Griffon).

Hi all,

Quite a big update today.

I had a rematch with the Nurgle army. Both of us with a few tweaks to our lists, so enjoy that one.

In regards to the tweaks, I've included a Warshrine, swapped my Mighty Lord for a Jugger Lord, and a Skullgrinder. After the battle I've further tweaked again. Also need to run some mathhammer on my Wrathmongers vs Skullreapers.

One thing I did notice though, was that my opponent had missread the rule for Plague Bearers being at -2 to hit in combat as opposed to shooting. This is a majoorr deal!! As even my skullreapers are now hitting on 6's!

Round 2 FIGHT!:


















At one point my Wrathmongers caused 19 wounds. He saved 18!!!!







And now for the conversions and tweaks to my list:


Gaunt Summoner/Tzeentch Sorc Lord - With Khorne hound to keep him in check!








Still a lot of work to go on this badboy.


Thanks for stopping by!

cant wait to see where the warshrine goes.
does it do well for you?

looking for the results on you skullreapers vs wrathmongers.

cant believe he made 18 saves... yikes!

The warshrine is excellent.

A 6+ ward on all mortal units within a 9" range really makes a difference. Especially as most of my army is mortal!

That and the Favour of Khorne is very nice. On a 3+ the ability to re-roll ALL failed hits packs a punch!

My Skullreapers vs Wrathmongers is coming down to running either a:

A) 10 man unit of Skullreapers with a separate 5 man, and seperate 5 man Wrathmonger. OR

B) 10 man unit of Skullreapers, with a 10 man Wrathmongers.

I was running them all as separate 5 mans so that I could benefit from their kill tally much faster and get those re-rolls on wounds. but having them in larger groups allows me to maximise my Hero abilities/buffs so the kill tally is outweighed by this.

Including a Bloodsecrator, Jugger Lord, Stoker, and Warshrine on the two 10man variants:

Skullreaper's have a damage output of 22 unsaved wounds on models with a 4+ save. (This is using Deamon Weapons)

Wrathmongers have a damage output of 25 unsaved wounds on models with a 4+ save.

Hi all.

New match up for you.

Khorne Bloodbound Vs Death



















I ended up losing the game. That's two losses in a row from a previous 9 win streak. Perhaps I need to stop mucking around with my tweaks and go back to my core list. The warshrine will stay, as hit ability to re-roll all failed hits is a big deal early on. Inclusive of the 6+ ward on mortal units.

My main mistakes here, were over-exposing my Bloodthirsters when it was not necessary for me to do so. That and not using my bloodreavers to soak up the first Blood Knights charge bonus. My thirster made all 5 attacks and wounds on the Zombie Dragon (Mortarch) but he saved all of them. That could have been a game changer.

Dat Mourngoul though. Not 100% on how to take that out yet.

Thanks,

Hi all quick update:

Working away on my Bretonnian army for an escalation campaign, pre the summer campaign and the Generals Handbook. Although with all the leaks online, I've allready built out my 2.5k list for AoS, and can't wait to play it in store.

Here's a little glimpse into on of the games and the Paladins I'm working on.





Also here's my current list, I'm looking to escalate to, and have ready for the summer camp.

King "Samuel Luuvigne" 400 Leader
The Fay Enchantress "Isylte Aeleis" 160 Leader
Damsel of the Lady "Athelisa Belsant" 100 Leader
Paladin Standard Bearer "Tedric Hardouin" 160 Leader
Amber Battle Mage "Corban Mils" 100 Leader
Knight-Vexillor "Hoel Virrus" 200 Leader
24 x Knights of the Realm II "Gabryell Laive" 660 Battleline
10 x Paladin Protectors "Covean Mord" 440

2,220 Points at the moment.

How is everyone else's shaping up, would love to know!

Thanks,

I think that's your Vexillor? Conversion looks ace

List looks strong, I know there's a lot of synergy backing up that KotRstar. Feels like a ton of characters? But that's pretty fluffy for Brets, and I'm sure it fits in the comp limits.

I'm excited to roll into the campaign with my Ogres, but sadly I've only seen the beast stuff leaked for them

Hey Salvage,

Thanks for stopping by.

That man there is actually my Paladin protector prime.

Here's a new shot on the rest of the unit, 5 more to go.

My Vexillor is in front.



The list is based around a hard hitting KotRstar, absolutely right. Providing all my spells go off, and I charge that's:

48 attacks at 2+ to hit 2+ to wound no rend, but 2 damage from the Knights.
A further 48 from the chargers at 2+ to hit and 3+ to wound.
With a 2+/5+ save.

All first round of combat of course due to the charge. Mathhammer its a fairly reasonable 43 wounds after saves at 4+'s.

The paladins I will drop to deal with any big scary monsters, as my knights lack of rend struggles to knock down big wound count models.

My last 280 points is exactly enough to drop in two concussors to strengthen my Knight charge and support.

Character heavy and just on the limit at 6 >_<

Thanks again.

One word... Mournghouls....

The bane of my gaming life right now.

   
Made in gb
Noble Knight of the Realm






Hi all,

So I've kicked off my escalation campaign at my local GW as well as merging into the GW summer campaign with our escalation armies.

We started with 35 pool points, gaining 2D6 for a loss, and 1D6 for a win. This gained a D6 if we used a scenario or the summer campaign scenarios.

Here's a few snap so far:


Third game in Vs a mousillion Death army.


I over expose Leoun here, he dies to a Blood Knights savage charge. As well as the Fey enchantress getting snagged by the Mourngoul.

I lost this matchup.


This was a 2 v 2, Order vs Death. (Fyreslayer allies ftw)


I did much better with my charges here, also winning priority. Charged into the Mourghoul with Knights and Leoun. But still didn't kill him. leaving me open to a Blood Knight, and Grave Guard counter charge.


The objective was to have more models on the middle terrain piece, as it held a magic item. The winning army would then honour duel it out with its generals.


Leoun won! Check that item out!


Progress shot of the Knights, and more paladins.


This was a 2 v me match up as I'd accounted for more pool points. using the first summer campaign scenario.


I smashed through the stormvermin killing them outright, as well as lightning striking my paladins in to take out Durthu.


Enemy turn, and they line up to take out the knights.




Seems I missed a few pictures here, but I won!


This was a 1v1 but with a strategic objective. My opponent went with assassinate. At first I bunkered as expected some lightning deepstrikes. Fortunately he didn't have the pool points yet to spend on the battalion/vexillor.


So I advance! Dropping in my paladins on his Venator to snipe him. I designated attacks elsewhere and he ends up retreating out on one wound.


I make use of his slow infantry, bu the prosecutors hold me up with a flank charge. i kill them, but its done enough. My opponent tries to line up more shooting time, with the Venators star fated arrow, and the judicators into Leoun.


Unfortunatley the shooting isn't quite enough, and with D6+1 wounds back thanks to my hero setup Leoun is back to full health!

It was just a matter of cleaning up from there.

Thanks all, really enjoying the GW summer campaign so far. Hoq is everyone else doing?

Hi all!

Its been a little while since my last update.

Have atleast two battles to show you. Both using The General's handbook at 2.5k lists. With the second match using the Border War game type. Hope you enjoy, firstly though here's a few conversion or other bits of work:


Paladin's finally based up!


Pegasus Knights!


Closer look at the pegasus knight.


Questing Knights. Lady forgive me for some of the headswaps!

++ Battle Reports Incoming ++

Vs Sylvaneth












24 Glorious Knights of The Realm






















Allariellie causes 15 wounds with her Beetle alone. All of a sudden my frontline doesn't look as strong.







At this point I conceded. Allarielle, and more specifically her beetle is a beast!

Vs Death












His General on *zombie dragon dies to the paladins efforts, but reanimates on a 6 and comes back on one wound. Subsequently retreating.


But not from a 4D6, 2 highest 12" charged from the Pegasus knights!


The charge hits home into the accursed Mousillion ranks!

[imghttps://s9.postimg.io/fg41shbf3/WP_20160818_20_27_53_Rich_2.jpg[/img]




The knight try valiantly to hold Mousillion back and contest the Victory Points.


The Pegasus Knights do the same and fly an impressive 21" retreat to cover the questing knights vs the Blood Knights.


We hit store closing time at this point and so had to extrapolate the game out.

It was a close win for me with 2 Victory Points!

Quick update:

I have finally got around to my AoS Death army. More specifically a Soulblight Vampire list. There are a few things I need to iron out. Like making the list actually viable, but here is what I would like to base it off:

Mortarch Mannfred
Wight King w/ Infernal Standard
x 30 Blood Knights
Mournghoul

2540

Two concept snaps of my Blood Knights so far, whilst things are on order:





Would love to hear your thoughts!?

For paint scheme I think a classic red, but worked up to a tamia red clear, so lacquered red armour will work well.

With dark nightmare steeds, and maybe a few OSL effects on eyes and hooves.

Thanks,

Vorri

Fantastic interpretation of a Bretonnia army. Was always my favourite in fantasy but due to neglect by GW on the model range and an intense dislike to metal and finecast models, I never got past an initial knight errant unit.
May steal this kind of idea for a future AoS army

Solid kitbash, great improvement on the (rather pitiful) standard yeomen for sure. Funnily enough I just saw a Kislev army yesterday (for KOW) that used chaos ponies to make better good-ish human mounted bowmen ...

Update on the Mounter Yeoman:



I used them in a subsequent 2.5k match... they didn't seem to be worth the 200 points to be honest.

Hi all,

I have a new battle report for you!

Khorne Bloodbound Vs Death Mousillion

This was a 3000 point match, following the Gift from The Heavens pitched battle types.
Spoiler:


Deaths deployment


Khornes deployment






Magewrath Throne - With a fat Wight King!


The massed Bloodbound ranks advance.






The Bloodbound severely underestimate the mobility of a Death army. That 4" free move in the Hero phase closed the gap much quicker than expected!


Gaps start to appear in the Bloodbound battleline!


The Black Knights and Mournghoul chew away at the Bloodreaves frontline.


The Blood Knights get a long charge into the Bloodthirster, then pilling into the Skull crushers, negating a savage counter charge.


Death win priority turn two and the skeletons join the combat. The white line on the empty base is Mannfred! The Template is the Meteor landing.


The Bloodbound right flank is fully engaged. Belakor lurks on the extreme right. using his Dark Master ability on the Mournghoul. Unfortunately the Mournghoul was undaunted a rolled 4+ every time.


Mannfred joins the fray


& then leaves the fray Really solid rolling from the warshrine. Those clubbed fists are -2 rend! Wrathmongers, and Khorne lord contribute as well!


The vampire on Zombie Dragon is free from combat on the right flank!


& so sneaks in behind the Bloodbound meteor to contest the Victory points. Deaths landed on their extreme right, and near unreachable for the Bloodbound.


Last shot I took of the game. The Wrathmongers and Warshrine kill the vampire Lord on zombie dragon, but the Ring of immortality sees him come back within 12" somewhere.

Before I finish my turn 3 we call it there due to store closing.

5 VPs - 5 VPs

It was too close to call as anything could have happened from there so we drew.

*One scenario I would like help on however:

The Mournghoul was on one wound remaining. In his combat he killed a Skullreaper, and so should immediately heal D3 wounds.

However the Skullreaper caused 2 mortal wounds back to the Mournghoul in his death throws. Which is delivered when killed.

Effectively these actions are carried out at the same time. So the question was, does the Mournghoul die, or does it survive due to the heal?

We 4+ it in the end, as we could not decide.

Many thanks,

Afternoon all...

I really want to get a kick start into this army, but my basing and painting concepts are holding me back.

Does anyone have any nice gritty vampire schemes that would work for a Non-air brush user?

I've also tweaked the list for a pure Soulblight one as well:

Vampire on Vampire Dragon
Coven Throne
Vamp Lord x2
30 Blood Knights

2540

The guys at Awaken Realms seem to do a really nice job, but I'm certain its air brushed.



Many thanks!

Seems as if the other images were to large :(

Since the match I've put some more time into the army. Loved how they worked, and the synergies are great.
