Shifting Objectives - An Age of Sigmar and Underworlds Blog

  Organized my initial thoughts into a tier list. Tiers are ordered as units appear in the pitched battle profiles S - Easily fit into many lists or defines an entire list, high impact niche Celestar Ballistae Judicators (Bow) Vindictors Gardus Steel Soul Knight-Draconis Knight-Incantor Lord-Imperatant Lord-Relictor Krondys Lord-Celestant (Stardrake) Annihilators (Grandhammers) Protectors Stormdrake Guard Stormstrike Chariot Vanguard-Raptors (Longstrike) A - Strong units with that you can form a list around Liberators Lord-Arcanum (Dracoline) Lord-Arcanum (Tauralon) Lord-Commander Bastian Carthalos Lord-Ordinator Annihilators Dracothian Guard Fulminators Evocators (Dracolines) Retributors B - A somewhat specific but still useful niche Judicators (Crossbow) Aventis Firestrike Celestant Prime Lord-Castellant Yndrasta Dracothian Guard Concussors Dracothian Guard Tempestors Evocators Vanguard-Raptors (Hurricane) Vigilors Celestian Vortex C - Situationally useful niche, could be overcosted

Heres my first impressions of the first Seraphon warband Let's start off with reviewing the fighter cards. Fighter Card Review: The good: 4 move, 2 defense, relatively accurate ranged attacks, unique action to deal  damage with no dice roll required, and a relatively easy inspire condition.

He is the only powerful fighter so you will be relying on the Skinks and let

05-21-2019 General Tips against Skaven and Flesheater Courts Playing against Skaven is all about target priority. Anvilstrike is about laser precision to cut your opponent down at the knees.

Deploy out of their range and then teleport your Longstrikes into range to shoot them down, and make sure your army moves up to screen for the
