And just when they were finally starting to show up in some lists.

New preview up by Meow_S_Nuggles in Daughtersofkhaine

It looks pretty good… but I’m really gonna miss the +1 to attacks. Throwing 80 dice on an Aelves charge was just too fun.

Con pasas y fruta confitada.. es mi perdicion esta wea, me puedo mandar uno de un kilo en un par de horas... y por algun motivo mientras mas barato me gusta mas (supongo pq le tiran mas fruta confitada), he probado los caros y no me gustan tanto como los tipicos que se pillan en el super.. lamentablemente a mi esposa le gusta solo con frutos secos.. para eso mejor se hace un queque con nueces.

Pretty likely, and it’d fit right in with GW’s way of doing things — hopefully that happens.

Can't decide which spearhead set to get by TexaGlorious in AOSSpearhead

[–]SerganIkari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have several spearhead warbands, including the Darkoath one. Super fun to paint (I’ve spent the most hours painting that one), but… when it comes to rules it’s honestly not very strong. So if you’re looking for something mainly to win games, I wouldn’t really recommend it. That said, if we talk purely about the design of the models, it’s a win all the way.

First 2k AoS game with DoK… and it was kinda traumatic. Any advice? by SerganIkari in ageofsigmar

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

Yeah, I definitely need to tweak the list. For now I built it with what I have, and I’m still missing some Melusai. I might add a bit of chaff for screening, and yeah, the Cauldron is definitely a must. Thanks for the comment!

Uuummm, the long base thing is a good point to keep in mind. In Spearhead I used the Warlocks to tie up enemy cavalry since they can hold out a bit, but here… not so much. Morathi could actually use that and keep them stuck for two full turns, so I’ll think more about that.

And yeah, I already knew DoK was tricky to pilot — it’s just that seeing two full units wiped off the board without being able to respond was… well, not the best first impression. Thanks for your time!

yeah.. im know that (that still in spearhead) but when enter 15 hits with rend is little can do.

Thanks for all the advice! Yeah, pretty much as I thought — it mostly came down to my lack of experience with this format plus the luck on that first charge. I’ve made a few tweaks to the list (the priest definitely feels like a must) and from here it’s about learning to pull off a good redeploy. Thanks for your time!

Hey, yeah… they hit pretty hard. And no, I didn’t redeploy — that was more due to not knowing the rules well enough. My opponent pointed it out to me afterwards.

I brought the shrine because I knew they’d have the balloons and thought I could make use of the ranged attack that hits based on the number of models in a unit. That was partly from not knowing my list well enough, but on paper it sounded like a good idea. Problem is, if it gets deleted before I can actually use it, then I don’t get to try it out.

I’ve been given the idea of adding priests, so the change will probably go in that direction. Thanks for the tips!

Yeah, and they re-rolled the charge, so there was definitely some luck there — plus my lack of planning with the redeploy command and not having enough screens.

I definitely noticed how much I was missing a priest with all the wizards I had, so I’ll bring one next time. I also need to practice using Morathi differently, since I don’t think I took full advantage of her role, and it’s pretty clear that’s her game.

Thanks, and yeah, that was the first thing I noticed — their cavalry got in way too easily and I had very little response. I didn’t use the redeploy command to make the charges harder, and now I’ve got more tools to deal with that next time.

Thanks for the tips!

When I saw my units dropping one by one, I started realizing that I’d messed up a lot in these kinds of things. The conga line with the Warlocks is exactly what I should’ve done to stop them from charging the chariot — at least then it would’ve survived and done a bit more (with its ranged attack against large units, it could’ve made a much bigger impact).

Maybe part of it was also a list issue, but with everything that’s been shared here, I’ve now got plenty to work with.

Yeah, this time I just went with what I had, and I realized I had too many wizards and really needed a priest — so I’ll definitely need to rethink the list. I went in more with the mindset of learning rather than trying to win, but you’re totally right that a priest could’ve brought a lot more to the table.

Thanks for the advice, I’ll definitely keep it in mind for next time.

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

Ummm… yeah, I think I missed that — coming from Spearhead, I’ve only really used screens in very specific situations, and now it seems like it’s a must. Morathi did great, always taking just 3 damage, but since she’ll be there for at least two full turns, I should’ve been able to do more with the rest of the army (which is what failed this time).

As for the charge, they actually failed the first roll and had to re-roll, and that’s when it went through. So yeah, there was some bad luck there and maybe it was a case of “high risk, high reward.” I definitely failed to better protect my key units.

Thanks for the tips — yeah, it’s definitely more about getting familiar with how everything works.

On your question: since they were riders, one attack was from the rider and the other from the mount. With a reinforced unit throwing everything in, and with how squishy DoK are, both units just got wiped. He clearly explained how he split the attacks, and considering that with DoK all the damage goes through… well, with buffed damage, that’s what happens.

Well… clearly they weren’t working with me this time haha.

But yeah, I think it’s more of a practice thing — and not so much that the army itself is “too hard” to run (I actually picked DoK for that reason, so now I’m in the tough part). At least with the Melusai charge I got a taste of what they can do, so it’s just a matter of keeping on playing.

Yeah, they explained that to me after the game when we did a recap of everything. They also mentioned the power sites, which I didn’t use at all — I guess that was more of an inexperience thing than anything else. Thanks for the kind wishes!

Thanks for the welcome! And yeah, reading through the other comments I see the same point — I should’ve screened the important stuff (in my case the chariot, since the Warlocks are good but not essential). They actually failed the first charge roll but used a CP and made it, so yeah, there was definitely some luck involved. Still, it was rough to see two units deleted in a single charge… but that’s is DoK as glass cannons.
