What are you doing today hobbywise?

I wasn't either till Storm of Chaos came out and I was given the option to field an entire army of them! It's not a very effective army and gun lines hurt a lot but the glory of seeing all those madmen charging across the field... also if they table you it's thematic that they get their end. Side note I forgot to put Gotrek and Felix in the photo.

 

Sitting there all painted and mocking me that my Dogs of War aren't done.

 

....... okay, first off, don't mock the Slayer army. I fought that before during the Storm of Chaos, with both my Dark Elves and the all-Orcs army from the Storm of Chaos (Bolgut Facebeater was loads of fun). They were hard to deal with, having their own version of Night Goblin Fanatics, but much more durable than some weedy goblins. Second off, awesome army no matter how you slice it!

 

That's a grudgin. I wouldn't be building the army if I didn't think it was good. I'm glad it's more effective, from your experience, than I have seen. I have to deal with a lot of shooting armies, VC and Chaos so from the testing it's been an uphill battle. Currently searching for a Garagrim model that isn't over $70. Same with Ungrim as those tend to be incomplete models if you find them at reasonable cost.

 

How very timely, with the new Slayer Army of Infamy in the War of Settra's Fury Arcane Journal now being available for perusal!

From what I've heard they've done some more to help Slayers in the durability department they normally lack, with the ability to take a cheap 6+ Ward Save on any unit for +1 point per model, Ambushers on one unit, every unit getting a small pre-battle move and the Bugman's Cart which increases friendly units' movement to 4" as most other races have.

@BrotherSutek I'll be interested to see how well the new version of the army performs at any rate... if you pick up the Journal let us know how it goes!

 

I'm still playing 7th edition with 6th edition armybooks but I've been looking at the new rules. Those things sound great! I like getting closer as my poor dwarves are slow. One thing I've seen so far is my slayers pirates are targeted early and often, firepower and toughness isn't to be sneered at. Annoyingly the group I play with has had life come at them and gaming has been minimal.
