3 lists pretty generic I’m leaning towards list 2 as it puts lots of bodies on the field and isn’t so fmc heavy.
Based on the battle report videos on this site, seems like the lists are relying a bit too much on Mawlocs. But I understand sometimes you play with what you’ve got. The third list seems best except the few troops would make it hard to hold objectives. Maybe replace a Mawloc with another troop unit.
This is based on the wisdom I’ve gleaned from reading battle reports, not actual experience, mind you. I think my Khorne daemons would tear those guys up.
Yeah, same, same. Mawlocs CAN be good, but we have yet to see them really do anything.
Did you need to get the chess clocks from a particular store, or person, or what? I drive through Folsom regularly.
Hey dude, I emailed you the address! That would be awesome if you could help us out, we owe you some beers if so!
My problem with Mawlocs, They dont do shit for every other turn. And thy will die easily if you put them in the heart of the others army
Yeah, I agree. They’re very underwhelming.

I am weeping with orgasmic laughter!!! I love that even in daemon prince mode you can still hear Reece crack with laughter as he tries to read the incantation as straight faced as possible!!! It’s a thing of beauty!!! I just wish the bit of how stupid it is to make a futuristic daemon prince rides a bike made out of CHROMIUM was in there lol!!!
