Aothaine Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Hey Everyone! I'm having difficulties building a list around Pink Horrors. I want them to all pop into Blue Horrors and then all pop again into brimstones. Is there a way to build a Battalion around three max sized squads of Pink/Blue/Brimstone? Just looking to have a good laugh, capture points and cause mayhem pretty much. I'm thinking this will be my army that I can move from Warhammer 40k to AoS. Thanks in advance!

Raven1 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I wouldn't pay to split it points your paying without having the models on the field and without controlling how/when the come in. A basic battalion Would be 30 Pink Horrors, 2x 10 Brimestone horrors with a change caster and demon prince allow for solid buffing. The Changeling would work too giving a 6++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshlands Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I like to split and find it very useful. I wouldnt save points for max splitting though. A shooty variant on the battallion above is 2* 30 pinks and 1 *10 brims with the warlord trait to reroll 1s to wound Ive tried 1 * 30 pinks with max points for splitting and that unit is unkillable (150 wounds!) Its 2145 points for 3* 30 pinks + max split and the banner/instruments... hence unrealistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still having one unit setup for max splitting could be cool ^_^ Don't you have to reserve points for any sort of splitting? That might actually work really well. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it can be worth saving a few points so the pinks die slower, to remove lesser models from morale etc. Everyone ive used it against has pretty much hated it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Eye Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 One idea I had was building an army around Blue Horrors rather than Pinks. Sure they're much weaker than Pinks but they're also cheaper, so you could theoretically drown the enemy in bodies. Only 5 points a model is nothing to sniff at after all.

Mathmatically (from memory) i believe blues work out as the least tough (for the points) and brims the highest. Theyre also less vulnerable to mortal wounds (as they only have 6++). 30 brims is only 90 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if you could build a list with like 180 brims covering the map (540pts) then spend the rest of the points on big nasty smite wings. The Brims are also troops right? The obsec is obscene. Just need to figure out how to deal with enemy hordes now. $630 USD just for 180 brimstones lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Crimson Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 You also get the blues in te same box for that bargain price! A full strength full split unit costs 715 You can two of such units+ prince+changeling+2 herald+4 mini brimstone unit for a pure horror double battalion. This way you also need less units than you think. You need the 60 pink and 40 brimstone on the table but then each time a pink split you can then assign wound to the blue that split and then goes to the brimstone. If you are aiming to play 2h limit tournament this is a nightmare but it’s a good way otherwise to have to have a fake 150 model unit. Don’t forget you can also teleport and summon them. This can help to pop them in range. Just tear through the warp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yergerjo Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I'm working on 3x22 pinks, splitting into 4 blues, 4 brims. Force them to kill 10 models before my assault 3 drops to 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you really shouldn't need more than 1 box of blues/brims as you wont have that many on the board at once...unless you have a smart opponent who splits his fire to force you to not place models you dont have...

dbecer01 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Do wounds/extra attacks go through to Horrors that just came into play in the same unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yergerjo Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Do wounds/extra attacks go through to Horrors that just came into play in the same unit? Depends on saves...since the order is to assign wound, roll save, apply conditioner, continue to the next...always applying new wounds to the currently wounded model (if any). In units of same saves we "fast roll" and apply, but you could operate in this manner which will slow game play down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
