Anyone else doing End Times?

[Erik Setzer]

Heh!

Me, I'm bursting for payday to arrive so I can get me some of those Blightkings. The more I look at them, the more and more I like them!

Might do an all infantry army this time, as I'm normally Mr Monster when it comes to Warhammer.

I feel bad with the Blight Kings... When I get around to doing my Chaos, I kind of want to include them because they look cool, and the concept is neat. But then I think about how they're based, and not being Monstrous Infantry means you don't full supporting attacks from a second rank, and even one rank is something like 230 points with command, and if they end up in front of Karl Franz Ascendant, they're just a tasty snack. Against a lot of things they're pretty strong though.

Rule of Cool might win out there. But other things like Warrior Chariots are competing in that same category, and the army can only take some much "Cool" before imploding. :-P

Defo a single rank unit - and a good foil for lots of light infantry type units, as they're incredibly tough and dead fighty - just what light infantry don't want to be facing!

Well after a bit of a break from BOLS, hobby, and free time generally due to silly workload, I appear to have missed something about Fedora's...

That said, as a TK and VC collector, End Times is the perfect excuse to get back on track. I've a ton of models sat unbuilt in boxes or in varied states of assembly, so I've set myself a challenge to get built and painted a 1000 point force ready for gaming 23rd November.

I should start a log. We all should!

Stirling idea! To start with, Undead Goblins!

Haven't been interested in Fantasy for years. Now assembling a load of Slaaneshi daemons which will be used in either a combined chaos Slaanesh army led by Sigvald or a Dark Elf cult of Slaanesh army led by Morathi (if the rumours are true).

Next purchases planned

2 x Blightkings, 2 x Forsaken.

Gotta be gribbly, yo!

And I think at some point a decent dollop of Plaguebearers. Because BOGIES!

In fact, sod it. 4 x Plaguebearers too. Because they're unbreakable in a combined force

That's something I need an FAQ on ASAP. I figured the Chaos Ascendant rules were for specific scenarios, as that's what they say at the start of those rules, and there's no mention I could find in the Legions of Chaos rules to using the Chaos Ascendant rules. But the spell to summon daemons is in those rules, and in White Dwarf they said that any Legions of Chaos caster got that spell... which would suggest you *do* use Chaos Ascendant, which is just sickeningly powerful, especially if you do a mono-god list. But White Dwarf has been wrong before ("Battle Focus" instead of "Psychic Focus," calling the Orkanauts' rokkit launchas "twin-linked" when they aren't, calling Murderface McMurderpants' claws S8 when they weren't until they got errata'd to work properly, etc.).

So, I'm really wondering which it is. Because if you can use Chaos Ascendant... Well, I can imagine a lot of brutal scenarios with that.

My reading was the Chaos Ascendant rules fall into the same category as the city fighting rules; optional. The Chaos Legions list is explicitly allowed in any games, but the other rules say you can use them if you want. Playing against those rules creates a unique set of challenges and really should be agreed by participants beforehand.

[Cap'nSmurfs]

I agree with Wildey on that.

Neferata's more or less finished, just need to do the basing. The Mortarchs are a pretty amazing kit, very cleverly done.

I dug out my brother's old Vampire Counts battalion he never really used, so I'm now building skeletons!

Have fun, they're SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than the old VC (current TK) ones. Actually quite pleasant.

Me personally I love the New Undead models, Espc Nagash, used to use him back in the day when he first came out....

But the Nurgle Chaos stuff leaves me cold, never have liked Nurgle, it just grosses me out to much to even want to put one together.
