Great overview! As a Slave to Darkness myself I'm stoked with our new rules. I am a Cabalist player so sad to see that subfaction go but it would probably have been OP for 4.0 in it's current form. It's cool that the unique Undivided heroes can benefit from Eye of the Gods as in 3rd they basically couldn't interact with the core faction mechanic at all. The EotG table looks really strong, perhaps there should be a harsher penalty than d3 damage for landing a 1 on the reroll. Hoping that our Beasts/Monsters have cool abilites to make them worth playing for once and that we get other ways to get to roll on the Eye table like spells and enhancements.

@matty3484 2 месяца назад

Definition of share: "to have, get, or use in common with another or others," Turns out you just ate a whole bag for yourself and gained a mark of nurgle. But do we really need to wait for an faq on this rather than just not playing like meta chasers? I'm not even sure it's lore friendly for a demon prince to be rolling on the eye of the gods as they've achieved demonhood. Anyway, I'm not going to play it like that because I'm not interested in making feels bads in my local club by strongest possible interpretation.

@Pootleflump 2 месяца назад

@@matty3484 being serious, this is currently the case in 3e that "friendly" units also includes the unit with the ability. I doubt the rule writer was expecting people to be anal about "shares a Mark of Chaos with this unit".

@FrPeter81 3 месяца назад

Super excited for this army! A friend has quit AoS to concentrate on the Old World, and had given me a load of stuff for AoS, including his Slaves to Darkness army. I can't wait to field loads of Knights and Varanguard, charging across the battlefield, looking like some sort of crazy power metal band from the 80s, eager to smash the enemy into utter ruin! 💪🏼😅

After the soulblight preview, I know some vamp players who were really disappointed/underwhelmed by blood knights, and I spent a fair bit of time trying to convince them that, no, they were ok, you had to judge them in context of 4e (less save stacking), etc. Then the StD preview comes out and chaos knights are just flat out amazing, and now even I am finding blood knights underwhelming by comparison.

@stevecatpatrick8056 3 месяца назад

Blood knights are faster and can heal and default ward, knights have their advantages. Pretty similar just different trade-offs.

@traiantulbure3819 3 месяца назад

I was also fairly positive about blood knights until the STD preview. It’ll depend somewhat on whether there are any available buffs for blood knights, but as it stands with the extra wound and mark of khorn, chaos knights are just flat out better and blood knights feel very meh by comparison. Sad.

@steampunkjim 3 месяца назад

I cannot fathom what they were thinking with that knight warscroll. Absolutely baffling. Best unit we've seen so far.

@stevecatpatrick8056 3 месяца назад

@@steampunkjim You're exaggerating. Let's see what was gained or lost comparing Khorne marked knights: Gained: +1 health +1 to hit Lost: +1 to wound(banner) 0.33 inches of combat range(Lost their ability to attack when within a half inch of another knight within a half inch) Lost their musician, which let you change one D6 to a 4. This made minimum charge a 5/or 6 with the spell. Made your charges a lot more reliable. Lost the 5+ ward vs mortals. Lost the champions other weapon which made it more reliable in noncharge combat So you can see it's not so cut and dry. It depends what profile attacks it and what other buffs are going around if it has more survivability or not. It's definitely still really solid and did not get nerfed It just got changed around. I'm happy with it but I don't think it's insane out there or anything. Especially considering that cavalry in general seems to be getting more health as we've seen probably because it's going to be costly and we can see there's a lot of anti-calvary units out there that didn't exist before and that's going to really impact cavalry.

@steampunkjim 3 месяца назад

@@stevecatpatrick8056 what they gained or lost has literally nothing to do with the conversation. 3rd edition has exactly zero to do with 4th edition. Of the things we've seen, chaos knights are far and away the best Cavalry unit in the game. And probably the best unit in the game altogether. 3rd edition does not matter.

@getorix1 3 месяца назад

A great shirt and slaves to darkness looking fun, top quality faction focus video.

@Vkandis72 3 месяца назад

I assume you would use Magical Intervention which allows the reacting player to cast a spell in their opponent's turn to give 3d6 for a counter charge using Daemonic Speed. Seems pretty expensive and risky to pull off requiring 3 command points--1 for Magical Intervention and 2 for Counter Charge. Since you have to cast the spell in your opponent's hero phase you are also putting a sign up that says "hey this unit is going to counter charge" giving your opponent the ability to account for that possibility and derail the countercharge. Sure you do not have to counter charge but then you spent a command point on a spell to influence enemy movement---I guess there maybe some benefit to that. If command points are easily generated then I guess that might be enough value but my sense is casting Daemonic Speed in your opponent's turn will not be particularly effective.

I absolutely love Warhammer Age of Sigmar, just like 40k. But Games Workshop can't be trusted. They said "scoop of the project has changed" for ToW, - which means nothing good for Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Who can guarantee that in half a year GW will not say “The Slaves of Darkness are completely move to the Old World, rebase to squares or play use Legend trash can rules at home only. And no, coexistence is impossible: after all, the very idea of “one miniature for only one system” is clearly an invention of Specialis Games / Forge World. Pure fantasy fanservice: ToW/HH patricians hate and are jealous when 40k/AoS plebeians play with their toys.

@kurukblackflame 3 месяца назад

Most units in the game have been heavily nerfed-Including a lot of units that nobody was taking because they sucked. Now Chaos Knights (who were already very strong) have been made even better. Is GW trying to shift those kits or something? They threw a bunch of fun abilities in the trash and yet kept Belakor's very toxic 'you don't get to play' ability. Not impressed.

@stevecatpatrick8056 3 месяца назад

Yea ita a good preview. I seriously hope our unlimited spell isn't the one nobody takes in 3rd. Ine thing to consider is STD had a lot of power in the banners and its musicians/standard bearers gave stronger buffs than most. Chaos knights aeem to have gotten a LOT slower, which is a fair tradeoff for their tankiness gain. They lost run and charge, and the turning the lowesr D6 into a 4, which was amazing. And their range in combat is axtually lower than rhan previously with the 3" unicersal change. So a sidegrade really, which is just fine by me but makes them less guaranteed on the rhe charge but tougher once they are there. Overall this is a food preview. Knew id be sad to lose all the modularity, STD was a list builders tome and my fav across all of AOS and 40k. But its arill just an index after all, hopefully rhe 4e tome brings it back. No cavalry batyle formation ia crazy though. STD are the premier cavalry army in the game!

@DGtil01 3 месяца назад

What makes the Daemonic speed even more insane is the fact it can now be cast on any StD unit and not just mounted units like the current version. Might actually make theradons viable as the biggest problem I've had with them is getting them into combat before being deleted by range units. Chosen with a 3D6 charge also sounds like a terrifying prospect...

@anthonyreal1594 3 месяца назад

@TheHonestWargamer Question: There's no "Mark of Chaos" keyword which tells you which units get the marks buff. Be'Lakor has the Undivided Keyword. Do you think this means that we should read Be'Lakor's warscroll (And Darkoath mauraders) as +1 to wound monsters and heros?

@thehonestwargamerstreams 3 месяца назад

Absolutely correct.

@tizianomerello6530 3 месяца назад

About demonic speed, it says in your hero phase and for the rest of the turn. I think it means until the end of your turn so probably you can’t counter charge 3d6:( am I wrong?🤔

I absolutely love these break downs, one thing I would request tho, is that when you’ve got text on screen , even if you just summarise it or go over that text on screen in somewhat detail for those of us new who listen to these videos as we do other things rather than watching as we don’t know when they’re on the screen if we’re doing dishes or something for example. Context is handy sometimes I get confused have to stop what I’m doing, read those paragraphs and then get back to what I’m doing for context so if you could do that in these videos they’d be absolutely perfect 🤘🏼🤘🏼

DP broken at the moment because it doesn't say pick a different unit. Which means it can pick itself, since it will share its own Mark and because it says use the eye of the gods ability, that also means it has the re-roll because it's built into the ability. So every your hero phase, demon princes are just making themselves roll and gaining buffs. They can increase their own rend to infinity.

@thehonestwargamerstreams 3 месяца назад

To +5 it's not broken

@markpandelidis2079 3 месяца назад

@@thehonestwargamerstreams the max theoretical rend you could increase by on any unit is +15. At the end of every turn + your hero phase. But besides that, ya seems pretty broken if you can make even 2-3 units in your army have +5 rend by turn 3. Not including honor guard or anything else.
