Sooo... it is almost here.
I am going to try and get my Deathrattle force a bit streamlined with the new book.
Who else is going to get it?
I looked through a few blurry leaked pages, and WOW.
There is a new trait for one of the legions which allows to add ANOTHER attack to Deathrattle units.
I almost fell from my chair when I read it.
Right now I run a Deathrattle force with a lot of Skellies and Black Knights, two Necromancers and a Wight King (with Standard) as General. As Allegiance I use Death because I have a VLoZD as a hard hitter.
Now if I got that correctly it looks like this in the future:
- 40 Skellies have 120 attacks
- Wight King adds another 40 --> 160 attacks
- Trait adds another???? --> 200 attacks?
And then Danse Macabre to make that 400 attacks at 2"/4+/4+/-/1
Ok, ok. They will not all be a in combat, but I have seen 25-30 of a 40-Skelly unit get into melee.
Even Black Knights get scary, with their new warscroll (they get one more lance attack) and those buffs stacked you get four attacks from each lance.
With Skellies getting faster (a spell IIRC or something with those gravesites) and more resilient (the reworked regeneration) I might even drop the VLoZD and run pure Deathrattle, and let my opponents DROWN IN BONES.
I am not a tournament player so it might not ever become the most competitive list but hey, MUCH better than now and I am winning more than I lose already, especially against Elite armies that lack anti-horde stuff.
....I feel bad for my Seraphon, Death looks SO promising now.
