List Review
I’m severely lacking in Ob sec units, and Psykers mainly because I love the assault phase and wanted a list made to have a fighting chance against Death Stars. I also have 3 total extra vp to lose in that one mission that counts fast attack and heavy. (Forgehost formation is not a heavy support choice)The way the VSG works might anger some opponents, but it works perfectly to allow my army to get into combat with more numbers.
Also, the extra protection for 3 soul grinders of Slaanesh for 1+ turns will really help get them into combat turn 2/3. New warlord traits are definitely interesting. I will get a 1:3 chance to get a single Str D attack I can reroll if I miss thanks to Locus of Wrath and CAD warlords being able to re roll their trait. Definitely going to struggle against psyker armies, battle company, and Knights.
The main strategy for my army is a little synergy based. The idea is to have my warlord into combat as fast as possible, hopefully charging so that with the fiends dropping targets initiative by 5, with plague drones with that 1 attack chance to cause instant death and harass weak units/ attack before the enemy does thanks to the fiends. The Khorne dogs all have 4 re rollable attacks on the charge and my warlord gets 6 thanks to the Crimson crown. The banner on Seekers is to deep strike in the soul grinders/ fiends on certain games where I know I will need initiative/ re roll hits and wounds from my soul grinders in combat once one grinder kills something to kill off T5 characters.
