Iron Fist Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hi! what do you think of the new rules of triumph (reroll of all the hits and no longer just failures, no more immunity to bravery ...) it's a big nerf of our aethergold ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, kill the Scinari Cathallar asap if you are less than 18" away from her, believe me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Fist Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Before the reroll was for the failed dices. now it's all the throw that must be reroll when the triumph is used. much less interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Heros are so slow without embarked on boats and within boats they don't count for objective taking... Battline could be ok if you play bubble boys battleline or a skyport which gives you battleline which you already play in your list otherwise KO is more or less short on fast moving battlelines. Last but not least I thought the biggest push for us is the lose of realm artefacts especially the ethernal amulet but now after I've seen the chamon artefact "ignoring rend 1" it just feels like every monster will take that instead of ethernal amulet and than we are in the same position with our Rend 1 shooting hehe Triumph reduction we already discussed as a small nerf. Still KO is very strong Armee in my opinion and I already have trouble to play them within my gaming group because most games are over in turn 2 or 3 and so far they didnt find the right strategy vs KO. I'll have to admit we don't have tzeentch, seraphon or Legion of chaos currently in our group. So vs the top meta we have to see how we will do. What do you think about the changes in GHB2020 so far and the effect on our beloved Dwarfs? Actually, the Prime and spell caster cost reduction in SE opens a new way of playing for us, making our HQ sniping even more deadly. Imagine you get ever blazing comet + warp lightning + prime comets rod combo. It is average 8 MW output before someone can even move, which is scary for a lot armies. Though it cost a lot (300+90+100) but at least it can be handled as alley (100 for comet is not counted as alley points so 390 from SE). Also, if our points reduction come true, we all get around 120pts freed now. BTW, I have played with some really experienced players with KO. Some matches are just completely hopeless. My impression is KO got very bad matches against most 'out of board deep strike + ranged' army. Typically Seraphon, SE with raptor, CoS living wood with iron drake. Also teleport + ranged army can ****** you up if they get fewer drops, like Tz and another lower drops KO. Besides that, several bad match includes: ID, their Ishlaen Guard makes our shooting completely useless Orcs with revive boyz, just not enough fire power to stop them screen Some niche list from Skaven and Fyre Slayer with heavy 'out of board deep strike + ranged' Some other niche list focusing on -1 hit from range, like certain Ogre, DoK, SE with start dragon and Nurgle. Generally speaking, I think KO plays a moderate role in the meta. It is efficient against some very popular enemy like Bonereaper, Realmlord, also extremely hopeless against some others. The reason why KO seems quite strong is, when a player knows very little about how KO works, they will lose so quickly against our gun line.

Still wording is you can reroll, and it doesn`t specify all rolled dice so IMO you choose what dice you reroll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not facing a GA Order Teclis with lots of cheap units and area Endless spells to deliver 40d3 MW per turn (his aura doesn't state the endless spells need to be controlled by enemies), I'd argue the Cathaller needs to die first. I really hate that warscroll. Widening the difference between having BS immunity and not, and killing through everyone's favourite mechanic, battleshock.

I think thatTeclis can't achieve 2+save (I think, maybe I'm wrong) in GA:Order. But I completely agree with you in killing the Cathaller first, at least, it has 5 or 6 wounds and can go down eazy even with 2+save.

Correct, he can't do that in GA Order, that's just needed to get a lot of aether wings to fuel the aura mw engine, a Frost phoenix can put him in a -1 to hit aura though. (Short summary: cast 4 endless spells that cover the area of your aura, have every unit roll to deal d3 mw to enemies, that's all. Be glad the Hounds just got dumped, that would be about 20d3 mw extra. Possible spells: Cogs, Horrorghast, Sousnare shackles, shards of Valaghar, even the Burning Head).

Yep, I'm aware of this "exploit". But that's not a problem in our community anymore as our TO already ended this discussion saying that he interprets that "cast by an enemy Wizard" affects both "endless spell or spell". So I'm just looking advise for just basic Lumineth games only. 1 hour ago, Iron Fist said: Before the reroll was for the failed dices. now it's all the throw that must be reroll when the triumph is used. much less interesting GHB2020 Inspired: Once per battle, when a friendly unit is picked to shoot or fight, you can say it is inspired. If you do so, you can re-roll hit rolls for attacks made by that unit until the end of that phase. GHB2019 Inspired: Once per battle, when a friendly unit is picked to shoot or fight, you can say it is inspired. If you do so, you can re-roll hit rolls for attacks made by that unit until the end of that phase. It has exactly the same wording of GHB2019. Attacks are made a one per basis (even if we are used to throww all of them), so we can reroll play like before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, note that the endless spell in a bottle would not trigger with this wording, as it's not cast by a wizard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We talk with our TO about the rules that are a bit ambiguous and we agree to always play with the same rules. Btw, I still think that a FAQ is needed.

Cast Chronomatic Cogs and activate them. The Cogs will affect all your units and the wording from Seeing Stone of Celennar rule ticks: "each time a friendly unit within range (16") is affected by Endless Spells or Spells casts by enemy wizzards roll a dice, on a 4+ you can ignore it. Then pick an enemy unit within 18" of that unit and gets hit b 1D3 mw. You can then remove the Coggs with Solar Flare and attempt to cast it with another mage for another round of MW. The bold part is key because some people understand that "casts by enemy wizzards" goes only with "Spells" and not "Endless Spells or Spells".

It would be clear if it stated "Spells or endless spells cast by enemy wizards" "Endless spells, or spells cast by enemy wizards" "Endless spells controlled by enemy wizards or spells cast by enemy wizards" The current wording falls in the middle of the first two, nudging towards the second. The intended wording, in my opinion, is the third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, no one in his right mind would think that this is the intention of that spell. It’s good that your TO ruled it like that, but you’d have to be a real ****** to argue that’s how the spell is supposed to work in the first place (I also watched Warhammer Weekly, but I really doubt this would even come up as an issue in most places). Endless Bottle is a bit more borderline, and could go both ways. Let’s see what the FAQ says about that, but about the other point this will be 100% ok. (also - note to self: bring more than one Cathaller to the table : ) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note to self, prepare to shoot more Cathallers (though I really like the model), and bring Iron Sky Command.
