Anyone else find this combo yet? I found it by accident and it is hilarious. How it works.

Archaon has a rule called "Slayer of Kings" which says when Archaon is in combat with an enemy Hero or Monster, if Archaon rolls double 6's to wound. The daemon in Archaon swords is awoken and the enemy is "SLAIN INSTANTLY".

You only need one 6. That is because Kairos Fateweaver has a rule called Oracle of Eternity. Once per game Fateweaver can take one dice roll and change it to any number of his choosing. If you roll one six. You take one of your other to wound rolls which you should have and change it to a six. I've done this to Nagash, Karl Franz, and a Glotkin and each time my opponent has freaked. It is really funny to watch.

Sounds like a ton of fun to play against.

Is it strange that when I hear about "punishing combos" in this game I think more of people that make RPGs a crappy time than miniature/card game combos?

I prefer Fateweaver and the engine of the gods, in the "Can't We All Just Get Along" list.
Slann lets you roll 3 dice on the engine. Any time you get a 6, Fateweaver makes another one a 6, and you take another free turn, immediately after this one.

42% chance of a free turn, with each engine of the gods. (can't get more than 1 free turn for every normal turn).

IMO, Fateweaver should be FAQ'd to only work on daemons. Still stupidly good, but not game breaking.

Fateweaver's up to his old tricks again I see. gak was broken in 40k, its broken with the bell, and its broken here too.

Slann males you roll 4 instead of 3 dice and you need 3 sixes for this to work ...

But still. Just bring enough Engines or summon more. Eventually, you'll have enough.

In combo with other things that work with Archaon to make it even worse. Because of Archaon's command trait that let any model with command traits use them, and Archaon benefits from having all the marks of Chaos.

Khorne Exalted Hero can give Mortals of Khorne +1 attacks.
Bloodsecrator adds +1 attacks to Khorne units within 18".
Glotkin can add +1 attacks to Nurgle units.
Warshrines of Khorne will give reroll to hit for Archaon.
Warshrines of Nurgle will give reroll to wound to Archaon.
Slaanesh Lord on a daemonic mount has a command trait that allows one Slaanesh to pile in and attack twice. Cough Archaon cough.
