    Hey y'all!

    Since I already built some Tzeentch models for the Silver Tower game and the rules for ST include even more, exotic encounteres with other Tzeentch units I wondered if I could do a AoS Tzeentch army:

    Based on the Silver Tower set, what would be your suggestion to build a 1000pt Tzeentch army?
    I prefer demons, but Arcanites is also OK. Things that are simple to paint are favoured though, so maybe demons is the better choice.

    Thinking about Flamers and Screamers since they look very cool, and maybe more Pink Horrors?

    Any ideas are welcome.

    I would probably go with Daemons for now, If you find you like it, maybe branch into arcanites. If you do branch out into a general chaos army, pick up Sayl the Faithless.

    Would an expert on Tzeentch fluff work?

    I have some ideas about Tzeentchian armies. Also, you used the wrong pronouns for a jelly donut.

    All skyfires all the time tho. Prepare for instahate as you'll crush literally everyone on turn two every game, especially in low point games

    Yeah, not my thing. Will probably settle for another army, such as Sylvaneth which my wife already has some of. Thanks anyway. :)

    Then you can just use Kurnoth Hunters and shoot people to death, fantastic!

    Yeah I am resisting the urge to play more than nine of them. My wife already has three (bows) and I will probably build and paint three or six more (probably magnetized to have weapon options, but most likely playing them with bows.

    Seeing people playing 15 or even 18 of them makes me want to quit the game because the obvious inability and/or unwillingness of GW to balance the game makes me so angry.

    I guess/hope Kurnoth Hunter sillyness will end with the GHB2 though, putting them at 220-260 points instead of the ridiculous 180 they have now.

    Best way to deal with it is to ask them for a more balanced game. If you tell them you have no counter for that much shooting and concede round one then there's no game in it for anyone.

    The issue is people playing filth in a casual setting, really... Horses for courses.
