You could have rammed them into the enemy turn 1, but now the 9“ charge is too risky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Mackay Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I’m looking for some help/advice with list building these days firstly some background: pre 2019 battletome, I occasionally borrowed a friend’s army and really enjoyed playing them. With the 2019 battletome release and Carrion Empire I finally bought my own. I only played a few games before abandoning them. Every game I played my opponents complained about them after the game which really sucked all the fun out of it and made any victory feel worthless. Additionally the changes to their summoning and battalions changed some of the things I enjoyed (pre-2019, I liked running Ghoul Patrol and Royal Family-summoning Ghoul Kings who then got to summon other units was pretty fun, and adding models to the Ghouls via Ghoul Patrol was cool). now I’ve decided I want to stay focused on Flesh-Eaters but I’m having some problems building lists Battalions Flesh-Eaters rely heavily on command points so you sort of have to run at least one Battalion and preferably take an Extra Command Point too. -Ghoul Patrol I feel isn’t worth it. It stayed at 180pts but took away the adding models to units. -Royal Family also isn’t worth it anymore, it’s old rules were better. i don’t really have opinions on the others. Deadwatch is my favourite but I don’t currently have the models to build around it Units i find it difficult to fit varieties into lists as points seem to disappear quickly, it seems you kinda have to focus on one of the 3 units and build around them, this also causes problems with the Grand Courts as each one is focused on a specific unit. Additionally each unit sort of needs a Courtier to babysit them for healing and the 6++ save. Not running monsters (mounted or not) is something that seems like a bad idea as they create a “I need to kill that ASAP” moment for opponents, and it’s always hilarious when a Stormcast Gav-Bomb of 10 Evocators fails and gets eaten by a Terrorghiest. im not looking for specific lists, but rather tips and advice for building a Flesh-Eaters list. I play in a mostly casual environment with a few Competitive minded people bringing netlists. I occasionally play in tournaments also but more so just for the chance of playing more games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always depends on your style and local meta, ghouls never really worked for me, same for min size flayers... so I usually have three-pronged attack (2gkotg and 1x6 flayer / 2x6 flayer with 1 gkotg) usually in a feast day list, maybe with infernal as general. I will try out a gkozd with 9 horrors murderball, but unsure how that performs against something with a decent save. Went with my LoN Zombies against slaves of darkness two weeks ago, and they had insane saves (4+\5++\6+++ or rerolling) with some shrine, sorcerer and whatnot. But my zombies would have melted against all rerolling horrors, with extra attacks from the regent. Thing to remember is the objective game, fast-numerous-sturdy-killy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sällsam Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Hi everyone. It's time for me to finish off my Death collection by delving into FEC. All my previous Death armys have been hordes. Hordes of ghosts, skeletons and skeletons 2.0. So I'm really looking forward to trying out an actually viable monster army. I like to play competitively, no doubt about it. How is Gristlegore holding up these days,? And any suggestions on where to start. I assume the starting collections are pretty nice as they bring you both the "correct" mosnters and summonable chaff? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craze Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I guess the best start is always to get 2 Start Collecting boxes, as they contain basically the complete range except the Arch-Regent and the Varghulf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenXes Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Are there any news on the Arch-Regent regarding his release as a single model? I've heard here and there that some models that were exclusive in starter-kits get their release roughly around one year later. Is that true? I really need this guy and I'm neither into conversions nor into spending ~70€ for a model like this.

SevenXes Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 If I was playing Gristlegore I'd probably take another two TGs and ditch 20 Ghouls, the CGC and the AGK. You might have some trouble with objectives but on the other hand, theres not much to worry about when you wipe out your enemy after turn three...

SevenXes Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) Yes Grislegore is good, in fact it's really good. For tournaments I'd say you either play a Gristelgorelist or something Flayer-heavy. These two are from my experience the strongest lists you can build and two of the strongest lists in all of AoS. Your list looks fine although I'm not sure about the CIC since you will be spending your CP mostly on other stuff than summoning. Buuuuut on the other hand theres not much to do with 240 points, unless you have the abhorrant arch-regent of course.

And even though they have alot of wounds, they still die pretty easily. Considering you want to spend CP when they die, and want a leader close, I personally played a variant with 4 terrogheist (1 of them mounted) and added a ghoul king on foot and the archreagent. That gives you bodies to work with to keep on objectives, and you can try and keep the ghoul kings near your gheists. Also, the d3 extra attacks from the archreagent makes the gheists so good.

The chalice of Ushoran is a nice option but since you only have two casters in your army you should probably use their personal spells instead of the endless ones. So in the end it's up to you, either you play the list you posted (which is something I can see doing pretty well, especially with the batallion) or you take Firefrogs advice which is also really good.

The Deadwatch battalion makes you run three units and if you are super Flayer heavy you probably need at least 3 units of them for battle line too. That puts you at 3 units if 3. Ok but not optimal. Most of the competitive Blisterkin builds run units of 6,3 and 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Min units are tricky, not enough punch, few models to score and 12hp with 5+... i personally think 2x6 are cool, two units to dish out some pain, especially if buffed up and fast enough to move around the board.

Anyone got a decent list for it? How many points? Hollowmourne is fun and one of my favorite courts simply because I love Horrors, unfortunately I havent had much success vs stronger opponents/lists. So I'd say it comes down to the type of game you want to play. If you're going casual Hollowmourne is fine, if you're facing something more competitive I'd suggest you try Blisterskin or Gristlegore instead. Or build a court on your own.
