Very very promising. As long as you aren't planning on using Black Guard in your army as well, I really like use of the Black Guard heads for Execs. Looking forward to seeing the final result with finished bases and something on the banner. What do you have planned?

I have to say I am not a fan of the color scheme ...

You could achieve a better-looking Slaanesh theme without using pink and purple everywhere. Use more traditional and natural colors for armor, leather, etc. and then add details an pink and purple.

You are correct.

Assassin can be revealed in the close combat phase whether or not his own unit is in combat.

Good job!

A minor thing that your battle report made me remember was that Sisters of Avelorn have no Musician option. They cannot Swift Reform, which means that you can outflank them and leave them with nothing to shoot.

+1

Ditch the Blood but otherwise awesome.

What model is the basis for this?

Yes please tell us about the RBT

@Dyvim I guess I should have specified that if ran in a unit size of 28 and in Horde (which is fairly standard fashion, so I have seen) that the Executioners would lose Attacks. Thanks for correcting me. This does raise a related issue about the ideal size of an Exec unit if you plan for it to have...

Not necessarily.

Unit of 20 deployed 10-wide has the same number of attacks with or without the Shrine. You only lose attacks when you start pushing models into a 4th rank (or a 3rd if not deployed as a horde).

Yes.

Pegasus is generally better for the reason that a ward save on the character protects the whole model. With a Manticore, the monster can be killed out from under the character relatively easily.

Blue + Yellow for sure -- the extra bits of yellow on the body make a big difference.

Per page 93 of the Rulebook:

"Note that any extra wounds inflicted on the champion do not carry over onto the rest of the unit--once the champion is slain, excess wounds are lost."

So you would need to kill the champion first to attack the unit rank-and-file.

Thanks for taking the time to comment, The reason with the Blue one having a yellow head was because I saw a picture of a Common Collared Lizard and thought it looked amazing and tried to replicate. I think that this is very promising. One thing to note is that the lizard does not just have a yello...

I think that a Death Hag with Witchbrew is a better option for giving Frenzy to a unit of Execs. Tullaris is slightly better protected (Heavy Armor) and a better killer of characters due to his 5+ Killing Blow -- but you pay points for that and they aren't really needed. A Frenzied unit of Execs sho...

This is a fun idea. Checked it out and I do have some suggestions. 1) The character categories should not be broken down so much. For example, I have 2 models of combat characters on Dark Pegasus that can be used as either a Dreadlord or a Master. There should be one place to enter that as "Dre...

Very cool -- tell us what went into this please

Let's do it - I need an excuse to break out the brushes

Totally agree - it's fool's gold

Soulblight about 80% of the time. Needs fewer dice, so lets me cast more spells in total. Use it both to soften up targets for missile fire and to tip combats in my favor.

Love the model ... but the first pic is a Chimera not a Manticore

Giant Blade is 60 points, so the Dreadlord cannot take all of the defensive toys and the OTS.

The Dreadlord could take a Great Weapon and more defensive items, but loses a point of strength and his rerolls to hit.

When I play my Lizards and run an Oldblood, He has the following equipment: Cold One, Armor of Destiny, Dawnstone, Other Trickster's Shard, Great Weapon Lets test the Dreadlord with Giant Blade, Dawnstone, and OTS against him.

I think that the confusion about Stupidity comes from the fact that in prior versions, a unit could end up charging as a result of a failed Stupidity test. This is no longer true in the current edition. On a related point, it also used to be that a failed stupidity test could cause a unit to go bumb...

Page 99, second paragraph under the heading "SHOOTING" reads (in relevant part) as follows: "If there are fewer than five rank-and-file models left in the unit ( or if the character is of a different troop type ) there is a chance that any characters in the unit could be hit -- the co...

To be more clear:

Crown of Command, Steadfast, and/or Stubborn allow you to take a break test without modifying it based on the Combat Resolution score.

However, other modifiers to Leadership still apply.
