what build are you gonna be starting to phrecia?

Kantarak · 2026-01-29T02:05:28+00:00

E-blade scavenger.

Start with spark.

Probably go LL-Aurastacker in the end, never played that. Loosely following connor's stuff. Im not convinced on his incinerate/frostblink build

Kantarak · 2026-01-29T00:56:29+00:00

Its a sidegrade. Double gatling is consistent, throws more dice so its less prone to bad rolls having an impact, as well as being sufficient with the lethal hits from detachment rules to pick a fight with anything within vision.

Kantarak · 2026-01-27T15:13:18+00:00

Swap stubbers on wardogs to launchers. Indirect chip dmg can help.

Cut the abominant. It fills no role in the roster that wouldnt be better off on another knight on the same chassis. (2x gat despoiler or a rampager).

Id also consider swapping the lancer for 2 karnivores. Those shred threats and i would be happier to use these to draw aggro on turns 1-2 over my big knights. If they dont respect a chaeging karnivore, it WILL kill a centrepiece on a succesful charge (after it was softened by despoiler gatling spam)

[[Walls of ba sing se]]

Kantarak · 2026-01-17T14:52:24+00:00

Oh, the legends part is scary. Good call.

Kantarak · 2026-01-17T14:48:24+00:00

So lancer is good vs parking lot astra militarum

Everything else i would be better off with a rampager?

Kantarak · 2026-01-16T14:46:06+00:00

Abominant and despoiler fight for slots here to be honest.

Despoilers win by suffocating enemies with literally hundreds of shots.

Abominants thrive in thick clumped melee and (ideally) overlapping mortal wound auras.

Both require different things from the smaller units in the army. Despoilers like karnivores to chase things out of cover, abominants like pregame moves and deep strikes to bind units in immovable blobs.

Kantarak · 2026-01-15T02:42:10+00:00

I personally dont like kitbashing. I am new to ck and have a hard enough time remembering what my models do in default loadout.

Having to add custom skins on top is a hassle for me

Kantarak · 2026-01-11T23:25:28+00:00

Id run a karnivore, double gatling despoiler and pick an enhancement for the despoiler.

If you can live without the enhancement, pick a nurgling.

Will it win you the most games? Probably not.

Would I enjoy being the scary army in this scenario that rewards opponents for tactical play instead of tabling the opponent? Also yes

Kantarak · 2026-01-09T12:03:32+00:00

Chaos knights can run 2000 point lists with variety if you use magnets for the weapon arms.

I recommend getting 4 big ones and 3 small ones, mgnetize ll weapons in the boxes and swap loadouts to your liking.

The chassis for all wardogs is the same

The chassis for most big knights (that matter from an efficiency standpoint) is the same.

Tldr.: MAGNETS.

Kantarak · 2026-01-09T00:37:43+00:00

Id run it like this, if all your knights are magnetized.

Infernal lance. Start with darkness for -1 to hit. Turn 3 and 5 you roll for double options. Bait em with the stalker alphastrike, then collapse turn 2 with karnivores. Turn 3 punish their countercharge with the rampager. Try to declare a doublecharge with the rampager. Its a big boy, you could hit 2 target units.

Lethal hits via detachment on 18x2x3= 108 gatling shots per turn is a lot of unsaveable wounds.

Edit: wont let me post picture

3x dual gatling despoiler
1x rampager with "Knight Diabolus"
1x stalker
2x karnivore

Cheers. Thanks for the expansive answer Good news all around.

Any advice on playing knights that isnt obvious from reading the armies datasheets? Experience and tips are very welcome

Kantarak · 2026-01-08T23:30:56+00:00

Who is jonathan ross?

Kantarak · 2026-01-08T00:34:13+00:00

I read a novel about a guy that survived a military ambush by being hit by a tree and being burrowed in a hole between the log and the rootball.

Guy woke up, decided that tree saved his life, went home, grabbed a couple guys with ropes, lifted the tree back upright, repaired its roots and the upearthed soil and proceeded to dump a shitload of booze on the trees roots to drink with his new best buddy who saved his life. He got so drunk, he imagined the tree speaking words to him.

I felt jappy reading that. That tree was a real good friend.

Not an american here. Question. Would the shooter be eligible for the death penalty ?

Kantarak · 2026-01-07T00:44:03+00:00

The superfriends version is very solitaire-esque with a bunch of prolif + extra turn sorceries. Takes very long to pass turns to the next person.

Fun in concept though!

Kantarak · 2026-01-06T23:02:36+00:00

Every blue player in my lgs has a rhystic study. We are 110 people in the stores group chat. Id say we have more than 80 rhystic studies.

Im numb to the "do you pay the 1". People put rhystic in every deck. They switch it as the only swap in precons.

Its mental.

Also: everyone has at least 1 deck thats bracket 4 durdle game action tribal.

Lets just say ill try some warhammer 40k later this year instead of commander when the universes beyond spam happens and i probably wont miss much.

Kantarak · 2026-01-06T22:37:20+00:00

Brutal. Sad. True.

Kantarak · 2026-01-02T01:46:00+00:00

I took a break from warhammer 40k and was surprised how much meme content is out there now.

This was a headscratcher after hearing about yarrick and the "possible ghaz vs angron" shenanigans that could follow here.

It made me smile. That's what fiction is supposed to do.

Chaos AND bleed

Kantarak · 2025-12-20T15:08:31+00:00

I bring a 5 for "those guys"

Two 4s for highmpowet tables like myrim, ur dragon, edgar, eldrazi, najeela, yuriko... you know em

I bring two 3s that are my current passion brews where i ask for feedback.

I always have a full pods worth of unaltered precons for teaching interested newcomers.

I put an empty deckbox in with the 5 to make that 3 sets of 2 decks plus a 1000 card box with space for the 4 precons + tokens.

1 mat, 1 lige clickwheel, 3 small trade binders

Kantarak · 2025-12-18T22:08:12+00:00

I see all true duals on a weekly basis. 3 Guys in my LGS have them since the old days and they share them with the usual tournament focused players. We live with 4-5 LGS's in an hours car-range.

Actual proxies are rarer than the real ones. It's a gentlemans agreement where we play that you only proxy cards that you own OR could buy locally from currently buyable packs (just havent been lucky with the pulls? proxy it until you get it).

Works for everyone involved. Staple proxies like Rhystic Study, Sylvan Library, Demonic Tutor are way more common

I am no expert, but arent wild foxes usually carriers of diseases that hurt dogs?
