Ganigumo Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Anyone else think Guild of summoners stonks are up? New cogs is a steal at 45 points giving a spell to each wizard within 6". I threw this together last night, and while there's certainly room for improvement and modification once we figure out how coalition works (this list would love gor/ungor/ungor raider chaff, maybe grashrak, and the gaunt summoner on disk is cheaper and an upgrade) Plus I've got no idea if the vortex beast is still gonna work.

The model seems generally underwhelming to me. You could consider darkfire daemonrift to be cast off of the Gaunt summoner you can also cast up to 14 spells there if the changecaster spellcast goes well. First lord of change also brings beacon of sorcery which helps further. Why Tzaangors? If you need bulk then probably warriors of chaos would be better, if we still can take them.

Mostly just a monster for monster rules (plus it looks cool), it should also fit into the "monster" slot in battle regiment to keep the list at 4 drops, although I could probably run a sorc lord on manticore or upgrade the blues to something tough. Once we get coalition rules sorted out I'll have a better idea of what to do with it. As for the LoC between 13-14 spellcasts and blue scribes giving rerolls I'm not too concerned about having one on board right at the start of the game, although maybe i should be. I've got a feeling we can't bring in endless spells from other factions anymore. The new rules only let you pick units from your faction, and endless spells are from there. Maybe we can bring it in using ally points? Its not clear to me at the moment which is why I left it out. Daemonrift would be great in place of purple sun.

EntMan Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Have Disciples of Tzeentch been un-Gor-ed? Sorry if this has already been asked but I can't find it and the AOS.3 threads are too unwieldly to go back over. With the new 3.0 rules on battalions does this mean that Disciples loose the option of the Phantasmagoria of Fate Battalion and does this mean that the various types of beastmen (who aren't bird-beastmen) can no longer be part of a Tzeentch army (except as allies?) I mean I'm obviously all for change, but this would suck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it, but maybe they'll be worked into the cohorts system mentioned in the GHB but we'll need to wait for the erratas since the GHB mentioned it would be in the battletomes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However we don't have the full picture because the mechanism for taking StD and BoC units in god marked armies will be "coalition units", but we don't have a definition for that yet. Each battletome will get a day 1 FAQ to make the allegiance abilities compatible with AoS 3 and these should provide the details on coalition units. So far all we know is that coalition units can't fulfill battleline. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad999 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 So rules as written at the moment you can take coalition units with tzeentch keyword, which could be the cheaper tzaangor, enlightened, skyfires and shaman from BoC. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad999 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Yeah but no reason not to for all tzaangor on disc, I agree with people though, unless there are warscroll changes or points corrections tzeentch and slannesh are dead on arrival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can still mob the board with horrors people cant retreat from.

This is true, take kairos, blue scribes and belakor and if all spells go off, with reroll spells, you get a LoC on turn 1 which is a huge amount of points. Then by turn 3 you are around the point of another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted a list earlier which wasn't too heavily optimized, but I had an extra hero slot and had like 13-14 spellcasts with plenty of points to play around with. Obviously models like kairos and be'lakor have a lot to offer that isn't just spellcasts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobjen99 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 1/2 year ago i bought 9 tzaangores on discs and a pack of 10 Tzaangores, my plan was to do some trickery and make the 10 tzangores into 9 tzaangores on discs and 1 shaman. The plan was Host arcanum for a screamer battleline and my heroes where to be a magister on disc, fatemaster, tzangore shaman and/or maby a Gaunt Summoner. Everyone would have 16 move and fly. Luckely for me it seams like the units that i was most interested in did not get hit that hard, but maby they were so weak that the little increase in pts killed them. Anyways it seams like a fun list with a lot of sniping and hard dmg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things arent going to be hitting our Horrors as hard as they used to either with coherency and its still 10 bravery and an autopass on 1s for our Icon Bearer. Horrors are so much better off than most 32mil models in this edition its not even funny. The sky is most certainly not falling for them.

They've lost a little to not being battleline as soon as one pink splits. That could cost you vp in scenarios where battleline and heroes gain control of objectives. One unit at most is enough now I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still definitley take TBS though. Actually both should. We get a point whenever a spell is cast and not unbound, it doesn't need to be a tzeentch wizard to do it. We generate them from our opponents spellcasts so theres no reason we wouldnt get them from an ally. The description for the blue scribes says on a roll of 2+ the spell is automatically cast, which means it should also generate a FP unless i'm missing something. 23 hours ago, Brad999 said: Guild of summoners Kairos - 435, Skyfires x6 - 420, Acolites 2 x 10 - 250, Blue scribes - 135, Belakor - 360, Pink horrors - 215, Emerald lifeswarm - 60, Cogs 45, Shackles 65 (Total 1975) Host arcanum ( 6 free screamers Kairos - 435, Skyfires x6 - 420, Screamers 3 x 3 - 300, Magister - 125, Belakor - 360 Enlightened on disc - 200, Emerald lifeswarm - 60, Shackles - 65 (Total 1965) With the new coherency rules I would avoid skyfires in 6s, I used them like that in aos2 and it was fine, but you end up losing out on a lot of melee output in 6s now because of the new coherency rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinfullyvannila Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Ill double check but I think the scribes got FAQed. Fate Points are an allegiance ability so allies cant do it. Nevermind, I cant be right about Belakor because it affects your opponents wizard too. Edited June 20, 2021 by Sinfullyvannila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
