Roland Rivera: Here’s a very unusual style of list for Slaves to Darkness. Most players like clustering their points around 2-3 massive threats, then gear the rest of the army around connecting with them. Not Ludvig – he seems to have gone for a full Nurgle-themed MSU (Multiple Small Units) list, as all of his units feature that Mark and only 1 of them is reinforced. This list can cover a lot of grounds while pressuring objectives, which seems to have been the gameplan because many of hte traditional high-damage elements are missing. Seeing Warriors, Knights, and even Chariots marked Nurgle is no surprise, but the 3 Ogroids would probably be better off with another Mark (however, this would come at the expense of theme).

I am a huge fan of his chosen General for this list – I’ve been in favor of the inclusion of a Nurgle Daemon Prince with the Bolstered by Chaos command trait since the points cost dropped to 150, and the Battlescroll has only made him better by giving him 50% more damage. This guy is a tough (3+ save and 12 Wounds), cheap Hero Monster (thanks to the command trait) that can turn off Ward saves, Roar units you want to take down, pressure support Heroes 7 Rend 2, Damage 2 (3 if you resolve Flaming Weapon) with a 12″ fly speed, and just generally be useful. Ludvig has given him the strike-first ability via the Helm of Many Eyes, which helps simplify the list’s activation decisions (an important thing to have when going heavy MSU).

Another tool in the “simplify combat” arsenal is the Lord on Karkadrak, which can give himself strike-first, as well as the Knights (who are both the heaviest hitter and the toughest anvil in the list) if they are nearby. It also makes for a great Merciless Blizzard caddy. This list may be taking an unorthodox approach to the army, but it turned out to be quite successful.

Chai’s list deviates from the standard Khorne 5-0 list, but he proved that to be very effective. He still maintains some of the standard units, such as the Unfettered Fury, double priests, and Skarbrand. Meanwhile he decided to go with Skullfiend Tribe and leaning heavily into Skullreapers.

Skullfiend Tribe allows units that charge to have fights first if the charge roll was 8+. Coupled with the massive number of attacks from the Skullreapers (boosted by the bloodsecrator) this could prove crippling to an opponent. Two ten-man block supported by a bloodsecrator are going to have a combine 104 attacks, likely hitting on 2s, either from all out attack or their warscroll ability, and having the option of a 4+ rally when they inevitably start to get whittled down.

The only other odd inclusion in this list is the furies. They’re 12″ move and ability to retreat in the fight phase makes them excellent at scoring some battle tactics.

Overall an excellent show of Khorne’s ability to work within the tome’s internal balance and still succeed. Congratulations on the win, Chai!

Ramon Silva: It’s really fun looking at the leanness of a list this late into the season and understand the Fate of the game roles more solely on The decisions of the general, than it does with pay to win or spam.

This impressive 5-1 run by Mike has a list that seems like a jack-o-lantern of all trades; It’s Scarlet doom but only 40 blades, which when this book first dropped we could easily have seen double that- there’s six heroes so it’s definitely got a hero hammer aspect to it, but only one block of spirit hosts (The OG bodyguard/ damage YEEters) So the hosts positioning has to be tight against shooting because although the heroes are ethereal, they are a rather low wound count.

The list finishes out with tech; a 4 pack of banshee’s, an awesome anti-magic unit and the midnight Tome AutoCasting the purple sun. Which is amazing for ghosts because it just gives the enemy negative one to their save. But it also every once in a while sucks something up into the void, which is one of those few times, It’s fun to roll a one.

This list has some old Faithful’s and some new toys that have recently been added to the OBR lineup.  We will go over the OBR bit first and then go over the Mannfred Regiment last.

For the sub faction, we have Mortis Praetorians. Providing a control tool that, when timed right, can stop battle tactics or go on the offensive during the opponents turn. The Grand Strat is a common one we see in spell casting savant because of Immortis guard being used to protect it.
Starting off, we have the Bone Shaper with Artisans key, Sterility, and Blizzard.

Blizzard has a bit of dyssynergy with Savant.  The general might end up blowing itself up on a blizzard cast, but it’s a nice keep away stick and source of damage if you need it to get you out of a bind or push an advantage further.

Arkhan, as we know, is one of the best casters in the game. Able to support the army through heals and spells.  Able to stop powerful enemy casters with his +2 to cast and unbind.  His speed and durability allow Arkhan to go places to go places, and other units would never want to go.  Everything he does complements OBR incredibly well and helps the list do its job.
Two units of Deathriders add a reliable battle tactic, speed, and screens.  They add a lot of consistency to the list and can keep up with the rest of the speed in the list.
6 Immortis guards protect the Important hero’s, function as a solid hammer/Anvil, and open a battle tactic in Sculptors Encourage.


The new edition is the Mannfred RoR.  Which comes with Manny, two units of 3 bats and a unit of 10 Graveguard.  Firstly, at the start of your hero phase, you can pick a unit in the regiment outside of “3” of enemy units and teleport it outside of “6” of enemy units.  Then, the unit that teleports gets an extra attack for the rest of the turn.  This adds a lot of flexibility and mobility to the slower and more expensive OBR units.  Mannfred’s Regiment will be wanting to do secondaries early and teleporting Graveguard to take out important pieces the rest of the list otherwise wouldn’t be able to.  Then Mannfred will also be in the fight, adding another layer of control with his own counter charge.  It’s important to note that every unit in the regiment has to deploy within “6” of Mannfred.

The list is a lot of fun and has a lot of tools at its disposal.

I’m happy to say we’ve been joined by another writer this month. Tom Skelton is both well liked and well known in the Scottish tournament circuit. He has the skills to boot! He’s currently sitting 3rd in the Scottish player rankings.

Tom Skelton: For this list, I got the opinion of Ross Sherrie, chief Teclis abuser on the Scottish world team, and he believes what Jon has here is a melee castle that can stack multiple minuses to be hit. A block of 20 wardens counting as two models each on objectives, with effectively a -2 to be hit, potentially a +3 to save and a five up ward on top, really isn’t going anywhere fast. So at least some of the primary is in the bag, then with the multiple Endless Spells and three battle tactics based on easy spell casting, the secondary points are also there for the taking. The Dawnriders are fast enough for making other passive BTs like Surround and Destroy or Intimidate the Invaders pretty easy to achieve, so overall it doesn’t really need to engage to score points, which is always a win. Not that it can’t dish out the hurt when needed, with the battle cattle, Bladelords and Eltharion each offering up a hefty punch. The Sanctum of Amyntok, though not often seen, is a mere 20 points and, if used in the right spot, would allow Lyrior to be in a garrison effectively, with a massive ward bubble for the army. So, sending out spells and units for secondary points, the castle sets up and camps out for the primary, with the tools for a lot of what comes its way and a decent enough amount of ranged damage from the cow, Eltharion and Jaws to wear down threats as they approach. It seems that with a bit of patience and using the right units at the right time, this list has answers for a lot of what’s out there, which is why I think it’s telling that it only lost to Khorne and OBR, two of the most oppressive armies going. Well played, Jon.

My first commentary of the New Year for Gitz and it’s a King’s Gitz list! This type of ‘soup’ list isn’t as common lately, but as you can see, it still can perform to quite a high level. On to the list!

The Dankhold Troggoth general (with his popular defensive focused Alpha Trogg/Glowy Howzit combination) and two single reinforced units of Rockgut Troggoths are the meaty core of this list. Functioning as part hammer, part anvil they do the majority of the heavy lifting.

The two Boingrot Bounderz units typically act as fast, hard-hitting flankers (allowing you access to a wider range of battle tactics). In this list, they can also be good frontline trading units setting up the Rockguts for maximum destruction and, in a pinch, they are affordable enough they can even be used as screens.

The two Moonclan Shootas units offer some additional ranged support but are primarily there as your objective scorers. The hard-hitting, strikes-first, reinforced Loonsmasha Fanatics will appear out of one of these units at the most inopportune for the opponent. They are an absolute glass cannon, particularly when their variable attack count spikes.

The Madcap Shaman and Skragrott provide the spell casting and utility for the list. The Madcap’s Moonface Mommet artefact (-1 save debuff) and Hand of Gork spell (teleport) are his two biggest contributions. Where Skragrott has so much utility, if you don’t know what he does, it’s probably easier to just have you check out his warscroll!

Congratulations to Matt on his first place finish to open up the New Year!

Ramon Silva: That third drop is the charm!

5-0 with NH in the current meta is much more than 2nd place in my heart. Amazing job, Paul Wilmes!

The list breakdown is pretty much selling the 8th season of ‘rasps’ is the new spam, with a small death star of reapers and revenants. A couple of spirited revivers (which is torment for these guys), a krul thing to reduce damage (not), and a travelling boatman.

Finished off with a teleporting spellcaster for one of everyone’s favorite grand strategies of the season, to be down to good positioning.

Hey everyone, back at it with another shiny elf list review. This time around, we’re centred around the Zaitrec subfaction. The inclusion of Scinari Calligrave and Scinari Cathallar adds both offensive and supportive spellcasting capabilities to the force. With the Merciless Blizzard and Speed of Hysh spells at their disposal, they can control engagements and enhance the overall mobility of the army. Furthermore, the Calligraves’ ability to OPG makes an area of the field a haven for your casters, and troops alike can’t be understated.

Big Teclis at the centre is always a respectable choice, though given his substantial point cost, you do start running low on bodies. That being said, though, Teclis brings unparalleled countermagic prowess, and his ability to securely score Magical Dominance all by his lonesome means he enables multiple battle tactics with his inclusion. The Light of Eltharion, aka The Butcher of Tor Yvresse, adds another layer of versatility, giving a consistent source of rend 3 to ensure the list can handle various threats effectively. It’s worth noting that Eltharion also gets around the new and improved Look Out Sir due to his shooting ability not being a missile weapon. Snipe those heroes!

At battleline we have two sets of Wardens and a big brick of Bladelords providing the foundation, with the Wardens bringing a copy of Overwhelming Heat and a redundant Speed of Hysh it’s likely that you’ll always be able to utilize the mobility the latter provides. Bladelords usually operate as a bodyguard in their five man units, but as a 10 man brick their a solid choice for a hammer. With both perfect strike or the horde clearing mode offering a consistent amount of damage regardless of what the situation calls for. A great tech piece is the Hurakan Windchargers as they adds mobility and a fast-attack element to the army, and if truth be told it’s the reach piece that I’d be playing if I were looking for one. The Umbral Spellportal and Aethervoid Pendulum as Endless Spells provide additional strategic options, enhancing the list’s overall flexibility and damage output through the hero phase.

Taking the Andtorian Acolytes and Battle Regiment as their Battalions means that you are a nice and tidy 3 drops coming in at 2000 points on the nose. Well done and good showing.

Without a dedicated Tzeentch writer, we opened up the commentary to members of our Discord. The Heroic Zammy from.club Wartilyo in the Philippines stepped up to the plate.

‐————-

Zammy: Overall, the list generates a lot of fate points by casting spells while controlling the hero and movement phase.
– List is also surprisingly tough to shift using destiny dice and buffs to protect the jade obelisk block.
– I assume he summons fluxmaster/blue horrors for screens and more spells.
– list locks down enemy in deployment with magister + bolt of change + arcane sacrifice and burning sigil to summon chaos spawn
– casts 9-10 spells a turn
– threatens open objectives with a teleporting unit, ephilim’s pandaemonium

Heroes
– Having the magister as the general is really interesting. If it kills something with its Bolt of Change spell, a chaos spawn spawns, and having arcane sacrifice on this makes is a 27″ chaos spawn summoning platform.
– Ogroid thaumaturge is more of a support piece here with a glimpse for the shield of fate for destiny dice and wards
– Kairos, as usual, is our big mortal canon. He gets Tome of Eyes to protect him from double 1’s. Unfortunately, it’s hard to keep it on the board because of how easy it is to dispel.
– Ephilim and the pandaemonium threaten any backline objectives left open. They’re our one teleporting unit with limited teleports to and from objectives. It’s also a mortal wound platform for turns when it can’t teleport
– Fateskimmer for a mobile blizzard platform with destiny dice generation
