Ganigumo Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 15 hours ago, Boar said: But they don't hit hard which is marauders schtick, this is strange take to me TBH. And warriors are better defensively than marauders if someone wants to go that route The thing that makes marauders broken is the charge roll, not the damage. Literally no other unit in the game can hit long charges as consistently as marauders can. Their damage being good is just the icing (5 unbuffed chaos knights on the charge do slightly less than 20 unbuffed marauders, so we have other options to fulfil our damage needs),. Idolators cultists get that charge roll (albeit without an extra +1 on top) on different warscrolls, and Golems are one of the standouts because they don't need to compete with marauder damage, their value lies elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I wish there was a battalion for Warriors and Chosen. I don’t know if it would be practical to attack with Chosen before the Knights, but the entire purpose of the chosen was to give re-roll wound rolls to my Chaos Warriors and assuming I needed to I could pray over them from the Warshrine to re-roll hit rolls (Khorne) and/or use the magic spell from the sorcerer. With chosen I have several sources of re-roll hit rolls, and wound rolls between the Chaos Sorcerer Lord spell, the Chaos Warshrine and the Chosen themselves. That's similar to what it run. I just prefer Nurgle and only charge my Knights into units already locked in combat. Thankfully Chosen affect other chosen as well attacking later 🙂 Edited February 11, 2021 by Kurrilino 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The World Tree Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 It's been a while, can someone please remind me. If I were to bring in some of the Hedonite mortals into a mortal STD army, would they be allies or part of the army as normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rors Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Looking at glutos and I think he'd be amazing taken in StD. 18 wound 3+ with a 5+ dpr that self heals on a huge base that has a 12 inch aura of -1 to hit and can cast 2 spells at +1. To me this just begs to be teleported into your opponents face turn 1. He could pop up and drop the slanesh mirror endless spell. His warscroll spell debuffs movement too. It's possibly enough of a durable distraction that you can pin down enough of their force to claim the objectives and win while they spend too many resources trying to deal with glutos. In some match ups this won't work at all, but even then he's still going to be worth his points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth criminal Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Glutos costs more than 400 points iirc so you can't ally him. Archers could be interesting ally choice if gw ever fixes the ridiculous point cost. They have pretty good damage output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means you need to have an Idoloator Lord, naturally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimrock Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I wonder if the new Be'Lakor model will be accompanied by a new wave of minis? Maybe we'll finally get a proper resculpt of the chaos warriors and knights. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer new models for Marauders. Yeah, I mean proper separate kits in the style of the new models but with all the weapon options and the musicians/standard bearers. The start collecting box is great but doesn't have everything you need. I'd love to see some new marauders as well, but I don't want to get my hopes up haha. If it's just going to be a broken realms release I don't think we'll get a full range refresh, but maybe it'll be a whole new book like slaanesh got. One can dream I guess.

Wraith Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 So, umm, just looking at Belakor's new model. I guess he will get a new war scroll with more than 8 wounds. Will he keep his 'The Dark Master' ability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sishuttleworth Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Quick question - I've seen it mentioned in a few places that you don't get an extra artifact if you take a battalion in Idolators. Can someone please explain why? Can you not just take two realm artifacts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
