Ku'Gath Plaguefather

So, it's Plaguefather's turn. Actually, he's less useful, then Kairos and even Skarbrand.

But, he still has a good point. As an Immortal Commander, he allows units within 12" to re-roll the Instability Tests. That means, the army around him must fight in melee. He's not needed on the table in 1st turn and he's also a slowpoke... So, the Deep Strike is his choice. That means, we must take some Plague Drones with Icon and maybe the reserve control.

He's not bad as anti-infantry shooting unit... But, range is low and he doesn't ignore cover. With the Plague Wind, he gets a 2nd blast, and he can fire both, as he's a monster.

And about regaining a single wound to the single Nurgling base... IMHO, absolutely useless feature :(

Kairos Fateweaver

Kairos - one of the best HQ-choices in a codex. He allows a re-roll of a single d6 once a turn, which could be used with a Grimoire of True Names, Portalglyph, Ground Tests, failed Psy-tests, armour penetration, etc. He also grants us the best Warlord Trait for the CD Army - re-roll of the Warp Storm table. In my opinion, there only need to re-roll first 3 variants. You may also re-roll a single die in that Storm - with a Staff of Tomorrow, instead of a Trait re-roll - to try to get the needed result. For example, you rolled 6 - 1. You can re-roll "1" to get better result, as you never get something less then 7.

Fateweaver also has 4++ and re-roll of 1s on saves, which can be combined with the Book.

But... It's only his adavantages. He's almost nothing in melee, has a single roll on 4 schools, which is almost nothing. Yes, he has a good potential for shooting with Tzeentch lore... But, if he will fly across the battlefield, shooting the enemy... He wil automatically become the primary target. With his T5 it's difficult to survive normal shooting... So, it's better to hide him.

In rosters, such as Deathstar, where the re-roll is needed like air, he's a must-have choice.

Skarbrand

So, the Skarbrand. The Bloodthirster... Without wings. Actually, it's a big minus of him - that he's not a FMC, just a Monster. He's nor able to maneuver, nor to survive...

As a Warlord, he's deadly in HTH... But, who will let him in CC?

As for his rage/fury ability, it's good for non-Khorne melee units... As for Khorne, they can benefit one of that rules with the Locus, so it's a shame... Cause, if there are Flesh Hounds, for example, they will probably be with Herald.

Maybe, he must arrive with Deep Strike, and maybe you need a pack of Bloodcrushers with Icon for him. And also, you must control the reserves. Instruments/comms relay?

Example roster with Skarbrand.

ReUnion : Team Cup results

So, the team cup has ended. 4 wins for us and a draw - with champions. We have the 2nd place and same results with the 1st. But, they have 332 points total (for 25 games), and we have 322, so, they are the champions. And we are not bad at all! We have Adepta Sororitas, Dark Eldar and fun Chaos Daemons roster - and almost all had Tau Empire, Eldar, Necrons and Heldrake CSM. Result!

A little bit pics, just few of them.

ReUnion : Team Cup

So, there will be a team cup soon - 5 men, 1850, no IA, Escalation and Formations, one codex can be used only once (but there can be alliance with itself if it is permitted, like CSM + BL), one player can use the Inquisitorial detachment, one can use the Dataslates. Stronghold Assault is permitted, but no Aquila Strongpoint. So, there's my team... There's a little bit of fun, as Ferlim now cannot play any army, but Adepta Sororitas, but he has straight hands.
