Beimg completely new to the gaming side of Age of Sigmar, I was wondering if you guys had any ideas on what would be a fun list to play against the Khorne units of the Starter set (Mighty Lord of Khorne, Bloodsecractor, Bloodstoker, Khorgaroth, 20x Bloodreavers and 5x Blood Warriors, + Slaughterpriest). I'm not looking for anything that's going to smash it, just an evenly matched fight as an introduction to Age of Sigmar. My collection is in the great models list - http://www.lustria-online.com/threads/the-great-models-list.18727/ All suggestions welcome, thanks
IIRC the Bloodsecrator and the Bloodstoker make the standard melee dudes quite dangerous actually, so something that can snipe heroes and still has some wounds to take some punishment could be fun/effective to have. Maybe mass Skinks or a Shadowstrike could be fun. IIRC the game should be around 1000 points? Maybe an Eternal Starhost could also be fun to play. Khorne has lots of melee attacks so the Guards could have an epic fight with them while your wizard tries to snipe the Khorne heroes.
Defo shadowstrike with the models you have available, Allegiance: Seraphon Leaders Skink Starpriest (80) - General - Command Trait : Great Rememberer Saurus Sunblood (120) Units 10 x Skinks (60) -Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (60) -Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers 3 x Terradon Riders (120) -Starstrike Javelins 10 x Saurus Warriors (100) -Clubs Behemoths Bastiladon (280) Battalions Shadowstrike Starhost (170) Total: 990 /1000 Allies: 0 / 200 Leaders: 2/4 Battlelines: 3 (2+) Behemoths: 1/2 Artillery: 0/2 Wounds: 58
In the end I actually went for this: 1x Slann Starmaster 5x Saurus Guard 1x Skink Starpriest 1x Salamander 3x Skink Handlers 10x Saurus Warriors (Clubs) 10x Skinks (Javelins and Shields) 10x Skinks (Boltspitters and Clubs) It added up to just under 760 - the points value of the opposing army. The actual battle went very much in my favour and my opponent conceded the game when it was clear I had won. The Slann, Saurus Guard and Starpriest didn't even enter combat at all. Neither of us were very familiar with the rules and a lot of abilities were overlooked, so if we had been more thorough it might have gone quite differently.
We played Death v Maggotkin 1000 points yesterday and we missed loads of stuff as well, very daunting remembering everything!!
