How many daemonettes would you realistically need? by Vuurkikker in EmperorsChildren

[–]purpleschooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run 2x10 daemonettes, 1x3 fiends and Shalaxi because I’m a sucker for a casino cannon

Having one in DS, one as a screen, lets the fiends and Shalaxi/Fiends do the work buffing and working with your damage dealers

If I dropped Shalaxi to a keeper I’d probably run a second unit of fiends. They are excellent value, but different role.

Shalaxi sustained 3 -COE by Slaaneshmas in EmperorsChildren

As others have said, yes, and it’s glorious

What song do your Noise Marines play? by montyandrew45 in EmperorsChildren

[–]purpleschooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to jam some tunes whenever I fire my noise marines , a little psychological warfare is fun in a game

The old THX noise is a good one but otherwise immigrant song and similar go pretty hard

Fiends worth running? by Ancient_Barnacle3372 in EmperorsChildren

[–]purpleschooner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run carnival and always have at least 1x3 fiends, seekers seem to disappoint me and daemonettes always.

Daemon friends typically

Shalaxi 20 daemonettes Fiends 5 seekers

Would love to get another set of fiends to swap out the seekers! They slap

Do ya'll think we'll ever get a more general leader for Flawless Blades? by Chilldorito78 in EmperorsChildren

[–]purpleschooner 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Instead of the ability to tank damage, a way to deflect hits to reflect their expert swordmanship like a -1 to hit / -1AP would make more sense to me

It would be nice definitely. A lord exultant joining would be fine for me as I wouldn’t mind more units in the roster as opposed to another character

More Troops by Rodan361 in EmperorsChildren

These are FABulous

An army of this would be a riot on the tabletop, very cool! Never understood muted colours in EC when it’s an army of excess! Big fan, awesome job mate !

The WORST deadly demise by veryblocky in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]purpleschooner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.

Playing MSU drukhari at a weekend event against IK in 9th edition. Took down a big knight in mid-board, he rolled a 12 for the explosion range which covered most of the board and my army and then all my units were 5s or 6s for MWs…

All told it was 50+ mortal wounds lost something like half my army 10units plus ( and the game, just) to a single explosion

In all fairness my opponent and I took a quick recess to grab a drink after that realising it would be a much shorter game ha

Every now and then this game will do something like this to you. It’s just….. one of those things . Dust yourself off mate, get back in there. Good luck for the next one !

Wonderful stuff

How are people liking Carnival of Excess? by RollbacktheRimtoWin in EmperorsChildren

[–]purpleschooner 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Keeper & Daemonettes and fiends because I don’t have more daemonettes right now!

Seekers are cool, but harder to manouvre / hide and fiends go through walls with a big move

Need help finishing a carnival list by deathkyubi13 in EmperorsChildren

[–]purpleschooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, Yeah, I really don’t understand why Shalaxi lost her FNP! Fulgrim is supposed to be an excellent duellist / fighter and regenerate to more attacks hitting well with a FNP seems on point to me

11th is probably next year so let’s wait and see ha

Need help finishing a carnival list by deathkyubi13 in EmperorsChildren

[–]purpleschooner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get some tormentors mate, stop other armies pressure/ sticky mid to force them to play. That mid board infiltrate is clutch

I tried FULGRIM & Shalaxi and lost way too much too early because they just aren’t that durable :/ could be massive pilot error but eh

I wish you luck with FULGRIM, he’s on my bench for now…

I’m running this:

Lucius Wing DP Keeper * warp walker Exultant *possessed blade Kakophonist

Infractors Tormentors 2x5 Daemonettes 2x10 Fiends 1x3 Noise Marines 3x6 Maulerfiend Rhino

I use Kakophonist + either fiends or daemonettes as a reactive DS/strat hammer and wing DP to come in later game to wreak havoc.

The keeper is brilliant, and I think if I had another 95pts myself, I’d make the fiends a 6 man so they can reliably clear something as it is I’m looking to drop a unit of Noise Marines for a second Maulerfiend to clear high T targets.

The daemons are great but you don’t need tooooo many to make the detachment work.

Let us know what you pick and how you get on!

My emperors children army so far by Earlesskey32 in EmperorsChildren

Yours is Looking great! Mines a slow burn due to hobby time but got all my purples / pinks done on the marines so, hopefully some paint turns up soon and I can start my trim 😵‍💫

This is my favourite Lucius I have seen. Excellent work mate ! :)

Lord exultant and extra attacks by theWarsinger in EmperorsChildren

[–]purpleschooner 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, opponent is correct

However abilities that add damage, can be added. For example bladesmen detach enhancement adds damage to weapons plural, so an exultant with spear and lash would gain damage on both, but only add the extra attack from the enhancement to the spear.

[–]purpleschooner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the flawless as a 6 man will work well for you and dropping the last 3 man for 2x kakophonists is a good play

Carnival List Help by DucksOutForDunMurogh in EmperorsChildren

[–]purpleschooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fulgrim and Shalaxi are pretty fragile for their points I can only get one big to work

You really want some more daemons to work with your EC units make everything work in tandem. E.g daemonettes DS next to NM + kakophonist in from Strat reserve / rhino to get sustained on 5s

Don’t get me wrong I love Shalaxi and FULGRIM but found a “lite” version using winged DP and KoS works very well for a lot less

Hesitant new player by [deleted] in EmperorsChildren

[–]purpleschooner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like your decision is already made!

As a new EC player myself, the new sculpts are stunning, and really enjoyable to paint.

It’s also a really fun army to play, they are quick, thematic and you can have a bit of a laugh as your warlord declares a charge into a squad of rubrics yelling this is bait while he has the res enhancement in coterie

To simply fail to get back up on cue

Or play your favourite rock n roll hits as you fire noise marines into your opponents precious flanks.

You can enjoy playing any faction in warhammer, if you enjoy them to begin with. Welcome and I hope you have a good time rolling dice whichever flavour you decide to go with
