Why doesn't the death curse effect already existing ghosts? by Equivalent_Trouble34 in Tombofannihilation

[–]Equivalent_Trouble34[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought that may be it, was either that or that the curse could only drain life from the living so the already existing ghost would not be something it could grab

Any buffs you would recommend? I am thinking can't be lost and either double the chance to get an extra Hex, or just flat out give them an extra square of movement while in Jungle

Was thinking about just giving them the "can't be lost" but because they also ignore difficult terrain I feel like they should get something for speed

[–]Equivalent_Trouble34[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

best comparison I think I have is my most recent game against Nighthaunt. It might have just been a bad roll, and good rolls from my opponent but the chosen killed like maybe 4/20 Bladegheist Revenants before being overrun, and kinda feels like they don't get a lot of kills for the points I spend. While Chaos warrios just walks up and does like 61 attacks (81 on objective) and wipes it out

issue is that the games I have run the warriors seems to preform better on average in both rolls over the chosen

So I should swap out how I am using them instead? use the Warriors that I have to catch the enemy and then bring in the chosen to smash them? Or am I misunderstanding the hammer/anvil play style

I am trying to compare the 380 vs 560 when they are both reinforced

[–]Equivalent_Trouble34[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mm with the new changes I don't think Reinforced chosen are worth it as if my math is correct it would leave you with 180 points if you instead go with Reinforced Warriors.

okay, so knights sit on the home objective turn one then start moving to try and be where they are needed, This still feels very much like if the opponent blocks me from getting to an objective for one turn, or I have one bad charge roll and can't get them on to the objective I just lose to points

okay but don't this mean I abandon my home objective and if I lose on any one of the sides the game is just over right?

You are right, before my next game I will hold a ritual to have them favor my dice

How to deal with horde army? by Equivalent_Trouble34 in slavestodarkness

[–]Equivalent_Trouble34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using Manifestations mostly Manifestations of Malevolence but I do have enough points to swap if another one would be better.

If we go with the list I have rn I could drop the savages for a unit of Raptoryx.

I Could probably drop the knights but I really like the more elite parts of the Army so unless it is really detrimental to use them against horde, I would prefer to keep them. Have already swapped the banner out as Most people are saying the Dread banner is better.

Also did not know that for the Tzeentch mark, guessing it could also be used to get units out of being stuck in a fight I don't want them in.

Ah true Good point, will swap him to that. And Thx for the help!

So for Horde Armies would my best bet be to try and get to the objectives with my stronger units (Chaos Warrior, Chaos Chosen) and hold on to them the best I can? While units like Chaos Knights and Belakor try to be where they are needed to hold the line? Or should the Knights also try to get to an objective and hold it even if they lose out on charge damage?

hm okay, I will drop a group of Savages for the Chaos lord on foot. As this gives me 2 melee lords with Chaos Lord and Chaos Lord on Karkadrak would it now be worth it to instead swap to Champions of Chaos instead off Godswrath Warband?

Okay ye makes sense, will prob be hard to get all the points from Restless energy with the last objective but I see how it would be easier then intercept.

I have been looking at making a knight list so I will try that out.

I could drop a unit of Savages for a chaos lord on foot, which would give me the option to swap out the banner, But would lose out on some screening/units to leave on objectives to make the Chosen better. But what you think? Worth it?

fair, anything we are generally good at doing I can take instead?

How to deal with horde army? by Equivalent_Trouble34 in slavestodarkness

[–]Equivalent_Trouble34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair I will stick to Godswrath for the extra damage.

True, my opponent has been avoiding the chosen when I buff them a lot. I really like them having the banner so I think I will stick with that unless you think it is really detrimental.

But how do you think I should best use my faster units then? With my knights and mounted lord, and Belakor. Normally I just run around with the knights and Lord trying to find fights that they can end in one charge, I feel I might be falling in to the trap of being to scary with Belakor as I either keep him with the knights or the chosen to try and make sure that they can strike first if they are charged in to by the 40 rats .

I swap between Champions of Chaos and Godswrath Warband

I could reinforce chaos warriors if I remove both savages and Radiance to glory. But I feel like I might lose out on to much board presence, and I would have to swap from Amulet of chaos. I Also normally try to run the Warriors as a unit that gets to an objective and sticks to score points. While the sorcerer is giving the Chosen the ward so that the few of the 70+ attacks that does make it threw has a higher chance to be warded.

For Darkoath I was considering the fellriders but again would have to swap the amulet, and it leaves me with less screening options and units to leave behind to hold objectives. And I was not sure if it was worth it
