GW has nearly convinced me I need a battleforce every year for the last 4 since starting this hobby. My first year in I almost bought the Necron box from 2020 but at the time was only a few month into the hobby and I had already bought an Indomitus box. I bought my first battleforce the following year not wanting to miss out on Necrons again. Last year I opted out of 40k for AoS getting my first battleforce with the sylvaneth box, and luckily ended up with 2 thanks to a shipping mistake on GW behalf. This year was a bit tougher because i actually wanted the Votann and Slaves to Darkness boxes. Ultimately I chose the Votann as that is an army I will be working on next year and Slaves can wait since Ill be starting AoS with Slyvaneth anyways

I just bought this box. Really like your breakdown vid

if i was to convert this to an Old World Warriors of Chaos army those Ogroid Theridons would be great unit fillers for units like Chaos Warriors

Thank you for the content, currently looking about jumping into AoS with this box.

Now we've come to my favourite box this year. It is a greeeeat beginner box. I will say as a veteran like me, it can be just as great for reinforcing your basic units. Because Slaves to Darkness only had weird monopose sets for Warriors and Knights for years (if you wanted new models) a lot of people will be missing command options. With two of these boxes I'll be able to create 2x reinforced Warriors with each weapon option, 2x reinforced Knights. And then as a Bonus I will have 2x reinforced Theridons units, cause those look so great and have some of my favourite lore of the faction 😁

Imma be grabbin this box for Old World for rather obviously Warriors of Chaos

Another awesome video. This is the one I might pick up for the Old World.

Really surprised about the Ogroid Theridons, personally i think they're a great unit, one of many units that have come down in points several times since the battletome released. Choas Knights, Choas Warrior's, Eternus, Choas Lord on Demonic Mount and even Chosen hage all had points drops recently. The Exalted Hero of Choas is also a fun hero and a good recommendation for a cheap 90 point hero

Just got the box for $150! Never had Chaos for Warhammer, love all the models

I actually think theridons are a great unit, especially to include in things like ravagers. If youre focusing on cultists/darkoath/marauders, you are already running a fairly squishy force, and you dont have a lot of damage potential, so they wont feel like a "downgrade" compared to something like chosen or knights which are great at damage but more survivable. Im actually trying to get stuff for a ravagers list that has a unit of 6 theridons as the hardest hitting hammer, but also has a single reinforced splintered fang and some heroes that can dish out damage. But having a khorne marked theridon unit with axes is able to do some work, if they can make it to combat. Which, if youre running a horde of cultists... yeah, you are far more likely to have ways to keep your opponents off of them until they can charge into the targets they want.

This is such a good box tho

The ogrid theradons are clearly a beasts of chaos unit; whyd they give them to slaves?
