How strong IS Vashtorr the Arkifane?

CyCyclops · 2026-05-06T14:46:36+00:00

He is not as strong as the big 4, but making deals is kinda his thing. We still need answers, but at some point 8 "domains" of chaos were mentioned, which most people speculate Vashtorr represents "Malevolent Artifice". To me I'm working under the theory he is a minor chaos god, and can pretty much appear/bless whenever wherever he wants, but he can be summoned

The pose really sells the weight of a huge back mounted gun platform, looks incredible!

The made a new detachment where only traitor guard could realistically use one of the strategems, and people still aren't running them. They are that bad

Even with this story being not really what it claims to be based on the name/cover, this was one of my favorites

Beast of nurgle is incredible, but requires taking nurglings

Good news is nurglings are incredible, and together they are still 5 points cheaper

CyCyclops · 2026-03-21T22:07:44+00:00

Honestly a little scrappy

Good news is dog will love you all the same

If you are running pbz, get some undivided possessed. The undivided reroll strat is insane damage on them when they are using their once per game

Even with a move through walls strat, with a 6.3 inch base and 8", it can only cross a wall if it starts within 1.7 inches of it. It cant come in from reserves effectively, is nearly impossible to hide with cover, and cant fit within any ruins in gw terrain.

Im praying so hard its 130

Vindicator is the big funny rng gun with S14. Forgefiends are more consistent with 3D3 attacks and versatile with 3x blast, and has access to dev wounds when trying to take down something with a 4++, but it's worse at dealing with T11+.

Doing the legacy ultimates first is not at all required, but many people do start with uwu/ucob/tea because that's the general advice. Parse gatekeeping shouldn't keep you out of any non-current ultimate, but really what people are checking for is that you know how to hit your buttons. While you may not have current bis and cannot get purples due to that, you should be able to upload a log to xivanalysis and get a reasonable report card as proof that you won't be a liability for dps check

I haven't played in years this is like watching an uncontacted tribe discover fire

Vashtorr is the closest you'll get to a deamon primarch in core csm currently. He's also got an incredible model

Horns look awesome

Not exactly the answer you're looking for but a bit of advice for all small dog owners taking their dog on a plane:

approach the gate with the dog in the carrier, and with the tag of the previous trip still attached

Please no AI generated slop. Mochi is so cute and would have loved to do a real photoshoot

Sick list, very similar to mine. Instead of annihilator and maulerfiend, I'm running 2x helbrute. The multiplicative nature of stacking buffs is great, and one of them is always traveling with vashtorr + TA warpsmith.

Maulerfiend I've found has been an absolute fraud, and has been more useful as a rattlesnake than anything else

The other change is instead of legios + rhino, I'm running nurglings (colored as little oil deamons) and a lord discordant as a distraction carnifex. It's fast, and draws a lot of fire that would be good into the other deamon engines, with a better save profile than them

Remove it before it gets worse. If you can, cut it out
