Hey all, Im new to AoS but a long time 40k player.
I really like the ghouls ! The story and models looks awesome and I got a starter box so far.
This is a 2k list im planing to build. any advices from AoS pros ?
2000pts
GK on Terrorgheist
Varghulf courtier
Infernal Courtier
30 crypt ghouls
6x crypt horrors
6x crypt flayers
Mourngul
its 2000pts on the nose.
Varghulf stick with horrors and ghouls to support and revive.
Infernal with flayers, GK take that 5+ extra save thing and all heroes get the -1 to hit to synergize with the mourngul. I think the modifiers stact eh ?
what you guys think ?
thank you.
Crypt Horrors are only battleline if the Crypt Haunter is your general and you have the Flesh-Eater Courts alliegance (which the Mourngul breaks unless you summon it). You'll either need to do that (which will make your Ruler of the Night bubble smaller), or split the Ghouls into 3 units of 10 (which aren't that durable). Also, you only get 1 additional artefact for each battalion you include (so 2 artefacts total in your case).
You'll probably need to consider dropping the Mourngul and putting those points into other units. You could get another 2 units of 20 ghouls in, or drop Abattoir as well and try to squeeze in Ghoul Patrol. Or you could even drop the Ghoul King and run the Abattior and a tonne of Horrors. Depends what you want the list to play like really. At the moment though I think the Mourngul is limiting your choices quite a lot.
If you want to go horror heavy you could try something like this:
That leaves you with 120 points to spare which could be spent on either a Ghoul King on foot (to trigger re-rolls in the Ghouls and Horrors and also bring Black Hunger to the table) or on the Attendants at Court Battalion (letting you always get the re-roll for those Horrors and a second artefact).
Hope this helps. I know the pain of trying to squeeze all the toys into a Flesh Eaters list :p

I also believe he has one too many artefacts. You're permitted one artifact, plus one per each Warscroll Battalion.

Thank you very much for your help, I have no idea how to build a proper list. I can see how it work now.
I took the mourngul because I really like the model but I can easily drop it to fix my problem.
I already have a GK on Terrorgheist I wish to use so I should add more ghouls units to cover the battleline basic then fill up with something else.
Leader/Behemoth Abhorrant Ghoul King on Terrorgheist
Battleline
Crypt Ghouls 30
Crypt Ghouls 30
Crypt Ghouls 30
Other
9 Crypt Horrors
Total: 1960pts
Vargulf and Ghast Courtier can spawn into the 3 30 ghouls units or the vargulf can spawn into the 9 crypt ghouls and you can use yor Terrorgheist with GK.

I thought the same but 20 ghouls will easily drop down to 8-6 and at most you will generate d6 for the actual unit and then the Crypt Ghouls 5 dices to regenerate between the 3 units.
It could work out but don't be surprised by turn 3 if the whole unit goes and your left with 2 units of 30 ghouls.
You could run this if you want the run the terrorgheist and no GK.
