Taker of Heads If the attacks made by this unit in the combat phase result in one or more enemy models being slain, then you can heal 1 wound suffered by a model from this unit. They fill an "Other" roll, and you can have 1 - 6 of them in a unit, but its best to run them separate so that you can take use of Taker of heads on each of them. they maul the hell out of infantry unless Im missing something. Fuegan posted:I've had fun with the following list at 1000 points: I too had my eye on the Warshrine however I heard from my rep last week that it didn't sell very well and its not in stock anywhere, he wasn't sure if it was to give it a repack or remove it from the line. I dont own any Daemons yet, just working with KBB. As for army building, one of the local guys here has been pulling the git repos for Battlescribe and updating them, he has added all the stats for KBB, and started on Stormcast. after you pick the Grand alliance on the left add the Alliegance, and set it to the proper sub army, its a filter.

One thing to build towards, if you don't mind losing the Bloodbound allegiance and going Chaos allegiance. Is that Slaves to Darkness models, the old chaos warriors, can choose to devote themselves to Khorne at the start of the game and get affected by all of the bonuses the Bloodbound models spit out.

Yeah I was leaning towards this, there are no alliegance bonuses for KBB anyway.

I've just not had much use out of them but if you've had better luck then awesome. Yeah I just noticed it seems to be temporarily out of stock in most places. Hopefully it makes a comeback cause it's really useful.

Warshrine is still available fyi, it got a repack not too long ago. For some reason it just never seems to be in stock, we've been waiting for a restock one in our store for a while now.

Not too much really. I didn't realise the brazier had different chaos logos on them so I might look to cast the khorne one and replace the others with it. I'm trying to figure out a suitably khorne-esque way of attaching the warshrine to the juggernauts. Will likely use some chain embedded in their armour to lash it to them.

Buy your models from companies that are not GW Kings of War, Frostgrave, Zombicide Black Plague all have fantastic miniatures you could use instead Also theres Reaper Miniatures if you want to go SUPER cheap You could also consider playing Kings of War with Kings of War models instead

Starter set's a good shout. The Khorne stuff's fairly popular so it'll shift easily if you split it. The Battleforce box that releases this weekend is a pretty good deal as well, being a decently strong 1000pts Stormcast army at a significant discount over buying it seperately. Though at £100 it'll be definately more than splitting a Starter.

If you have a decent backlog of bits (even 40k bits) you can make your characters out of regular dudes like a lot of people do with ogres I guess. If you were dedicated and had the components you could probably even convert whole elite units from the starter set lads.

Guy Goodbody posted:Do any of those do Stormcast? Nobody outside GW does "Stormcast" or else they'd get sued. But you'll find a great many things like "Lightning Knights" or "Angelic Warriors" who will fit the bill pretty well. I actually like the GW sculpts, so if I was trying to put together an army on the cheap I'd just go the route of calling mom and pop shops for 20-30% discounts or using ebay hockers. That said, I don't like sigmarines myself

It took going to Warhammer World to really have the Stormcast guys grow on me at all. Still not really a fan of them though, I'm happy playing my broke-rear end Empire farmers instead. Here's a few Empire units I've finished recently since there aren't enough pictures in this thread:

The issue I have with Sigmarines is that they're intentionally soulless. They're suits of armor with something in them, be it a spirit or a body or whatever I think that's supposed to still be a mystery, but they lose their humanity a little more with each death. And this shows through in the sculpts. There's not really any individual style or characterization. Those death masks are awful. I would just get really bored painting them I think.

I think that's also why he's so keen on getting different sculpts. It doesn't make sense on having more than a couple unless you're trying to make a Dark Souls type of army. Which also doesn't really work for the same reason. But they're great as 1-2 ofs. Just not the winged ones. Those are awful. A shame, since the wings look amazing.

I saw a clever army paint scheme that made me kind of want to do a Stormcast army. This guy had taken some space marines, given them all skulls for heads, and painted them like Spirit Hosts I want to completely steal that idea but for Stormcasts. Stormcast Eternals, with skull heads, painted like ghosts. They'd be like big scooby-doo ghost knights.
