Confused Word Bearer Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Which is better? 250 points of Raptors, Warp Talons, or Flesh Hounds? Writing up a new list and I want to compare it with my old one, and they all seem to have something that makes them look good to me.

Khornestar Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'd always take the claw, personally. With rage/counterattack, 1 fewer attack is a decent trade for shred.

Confused Word Bearer Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Yeah, fortunately I haven't built any of my sergeants yet so I'm going to give them each a Lightning Claw. Right now I'm currently debating between a 10 man unit of Raptors with meltaguns, Lightning Claw on the Chanpion, and an Icon of Wrath for 250 versus 3 units of 5 hounds for 240. Oh, and thanks to the FAQ, Maulerfiends Magma Cutters seem a lot more viable now against most things now, so I'm debating between Magma Cutters or Lasher Talons. 1-2 free Melta attacks, or -2A for whatever's in base contact? Leaning towards the Magma Cutters now thanks to the FAQ, though.

Khornestar Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 What changed about the magma cutters? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306021-blood-for-the-blood-god-daemonkin-community/page/37/#findComment-4629906 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confused Word Bearer Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 They effect the unit, rather than previous models, the Maulerfiend is a bit more versatile now. Anyways, I think I'll replace the Flesh hounds with Raptors in my list, mostly because I want to make a Kill Team of them and use them for bits. Also because 2 boxes of Raptors are cheaper than Flesh Hounds. Will add them back in a higher points list though. For my remaining 25 points, I'll give my sergeants Combi-Meltas and my DP a 5 point upgrade.

Khornestar Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Sounds fun. Not as good-looking, but Warhammer fantasy chaos war hounds make a cheap option for flesh hounds.

Confused Word Bearer Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 True, but I much prefer how the Flesh Hounds look. Also, I'm pretty sure they're a lot bigger?

Khornestar Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Flesh hounds are bigger, but base size can be the same for either to equalize them in terms of gameplay. And yeah, the war hounds look terrible. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306021-blood-for-the-blood-god-daemonkin-community/page/37/#findComment-4630316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I know the base sizes are different but I actually am okay with hell hounds but most of mine are fleshhounds. ... the problem is I didn't differentiate enough on squads (since my squad sizes always fluctuates). So having smaller dogs/bases keeps moving easier. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306021-blood-for-the-blood-god-daemonkin-community/page/37/#findComment-4633296 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prot Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Beautiful. They look awesome as usual. KDK is still one of my favourite armies, and the conversion opportunities are great. You always nail those conversations...I'm always jealous of it as well.

There's no doubt if I had those types of Juggernauts... even as Bloodcrushers, I would have definitely painted them already (I have 4 half painted ones sitting in a box.)

Khornestar Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 For the man who can never have enough Juggernauts... I just bought and assembled 9 Bloodcrushers, and 6 more Skullcrushers :D. I think I have ~55 juggernauts for sure, about half assembled. (Riderless juggers as spawn, Bloodcrushers, and Skullcrushers/bikers). The only bummer for me is that GW hasn't come out with a new kit for Flesh Hounds yet, but I'll have to make due with the dinky war hounds until that happens.

I think you should send some of those babies my way and I'll with my painting them you'll be all inspired to paint up your own! then you hit the tournament circuit and show everyone the power of the Skull Crusher. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306021-blood-for-the-blood-god-daemonkin-community/page/37/#findComment-4656984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornestar Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Well, I sprayed 'em with primer this morning. That's a start! What's holding me back is that I need to figure out how to do a red-tone based lightning effect, similar to Night Lords. Since they're daemonkin and all warp-charged and such, I wanted them to have a sort of otherworldly effect. Y'know, excuses. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306021-blood-for-the-blood-god-daemonkin-community/page/37/#findComment-4657176 Share on other sites More sharing options...

old git Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 As to cost of flesh hounds, and as an alternative, have a look at Puppetswar Barghest fiends. They're clearly designed as flesh hound alternatives, they're as big as the official model and. IMHO, far better sculpts. They have also just done a two headed sculpt that's perfect for Karanak.

Prot Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I love it Venom. Well I'm weighing some options for a Highlander tournament and I'm having fun trying to make some armies that would work. This event is ITC so I've been doing some testing. I've been really enjoying my Thousand Sons venture so far but in Highlander and 1500 pets they are extremely difficult to make functional but I'm staring to eye up my KDK. I don't have a lot of time but mos of my KDK is done so I could probably swing it. Surprisingly even with the Highlander format I can make a legit bloodhost detachment. Has anyone taken KDK to a Highlander event?

Khornestar Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 What is Highlander again, only one of each unit? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306021-blood-for-the-blood-god-daemonkin-community/page/37/#findComment-4662055 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Only one of each unit, but you can take multiples of troops once you have taken 1 of each type available. Transports are limited to 2 until you use all available as well. And maximum of two formations.

Prot Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Several. Lol I have made the most functional Bloodhost detachment I can thing of while abiding by the rules. But I'm probably rusty with my KDK so I'm wondering if anyone else has tried out KDK in Highlander.
