Why You Should Play Soulblight Gravelords 

Was just looking for something to watch while I suffer through assembling these 20 graveguard with 2-handers, perfect!

Can I just say, I think this is a fantastic idea for a series. Your approach to AoS is so upbeat, positive, and really focuses in the joy to be found in the game, and that's the perfect approach to this sort of video. Looking forward to more!

Kharadron Overlords I don't play currently but these dwarfs have caught my attention and have been thinking about it

I LOVE that you are doing this, it makes getting into AoS so much better. Soulblight, along with Daughters of Khaine, where the two armies to drag me in. I made my Soulblight Gravelords themed after the Cauldronborn from the Black Cauldron / Chronicals of Prydain. So my skeletons look old and grimy as hell, but are dripping with green slime.

I dig this. It's what you need to watch to get inspired about maybe starting a new faction or just start playing. I used to google this a lot and sometimes the message is kinda lost in a point-list, but hearing someone (and certainly someone as passionate as Doug) talk about them and explain does it far better for me.

Slaanesh chaos army please, Doug.

I am up for the Mawtribes or gloomspite next… I am undecided which to go for

Next video on the Maggotkin would be great, considering you have a lot of experience with that army.

Ha today I ordered Start Collecting Soulblight Gravelords and an hour later Doug uploads this video😛

Awesome! So glad you're doing a series like this. Looking forward to each and every video!

Do Gloomspite Gitz next please! The little gobbos have been tempting me, but I'm kinda on the fence about them

Thanks for the review of this faction! Your knowledge and passion shows, and this format is great to check out over a lunch break!

This is a terrific idea for a series Doug, keep up the awesome work

Loved this video and can't wait for you to do more of them.

Really liking this format, looking forward to more videos!

I appreciate the information you give everyone!

SE-RAP-HONS!

Good video with handy information. Hope you'll make one of each AOS faction!

Love this format, maybe this can finally help me decide on what faction to choose

Excellent video! The 3 foot fabulous rule is one I often need to remind myself of so thank you for helping me ingrain that in my brain 😂

Keep the death train rolling with Flesh eater courts!!!

3 foot fabulous is a great phrase to describe army painting. That made me smile, and is worth repeating. P.s. the video tempted me to look at the army, once I'm done with Flesh Eater Courts!

very nice video, i hope i get the battleforce pack for christmas and this video made so hyped for it. i really love the playstyle

Love this! New to AoS myself coming from 40k, got myself the start collecting box of soulblight gravelords because who doesn't like skeletons on skeletal steed's, figured out my colour scheme and then bought the battletome, it turned out I'm doing a legion of blood army without knowing it, now have 1000pts worth, just started painting haha, keep up the great work!

The happy music @6:00 killed me after the talk of death and mortality with creepy music

A video on the maggotkin would be great, your videos on nurgle lore are brilliant

Great video! Thanks

Another great video man

Just finding this video. No real experience with table top wargames, but I love D&D and fantasy games, in general. I just got into the painting hobby this year, working on my Heroquest rerelease set, and I've thoroughly fallen in love with it. Anyway, got interested in and picked up the Cursed City game, as well as the expansions; and I have to say the Soulblight are probably where Games Workshop will be getting the majority of my money! lol I dunno if I'll ever run a full army on a battlefield, but I love the aesthetic, I love the lore and the sculpts are just insanely impressive and satisfying to paint. Even the Hunters and other heroes designed to FIGHT them are among my favorite miniatures! 🤘😆

Daughters of Khaine for the next video please. I like the format and we definitely needed someone to make good videos on why start collecting. Thanks.

This came out just in time haha I'm actually playing my first game with them today!

Yeah I love vampires and undead in fantasy, and curse of strahd is my favorite d&d campaign. So when I saw this faction I knew that I needed to play them, so thanks for the great video.

If I ever get into aos it’ll be these guys

Love this segment! Is this when new tome drops, a weekly video, monthly frequency? I like it a lot!

Perfect to watch while I wait for the wraith bone primer to dry on my deadwalkers

There are definitely compelling and competitively viable non-hoardy SBGL builds. Blood Knight Kastelai builds, Manster Mash Avengori, Nagash. The faction's super diverse and has builds for more or less whatever you'd like to do. At least, so long as what you want to do isnt shooting, they don't do that.

I love the idea of a death rattle heavy army, maybe with blood knights as hammers.

Useful video, I was already bought into soulblight but this still had some food for thought and highlighted important aspects of the faction I didn’t really appreciate

Cursed city images makin me nostalgic already LOL

I only just now found this series you started. I hope you eventually make one for Ossiarch Bonereapers.

I appreciate this a lot

Next video: Maggotkin of Nurgle!!

Great video Doug can do a video on the Cites of Sigmer I'm very interested in those guys.

Well you can turn people into wolves. I really wanted to make a kastellian army (I own 30 blood knights) but playing as the vyrkos is so much fun.

about to start building this!!!

Will you be doing more if these? I’m curious about Kruleboyz, Disciples of Tzeentch, and Kharadron Overlords.

I recently began making a Soulblight army, Kastelai Dynasty. Finding Blood Knights for retail price has been as difficult as getting my PS5 was, hahaha. Luckily, I have most of my army collected and I've been painting it every night after work. Isabella von Carstein is in my army as a generic Vampire Lord because I love her sculpt too much not to use her.

I definitely appreciate the _aesthetic_ of this video

Love that intro

As much as I woudld like some tips on how to start collecting them and building... I realised that many armies can be started in very differnet ways, depending on what style of play you would prefr... since FEC SC + 3 x BK is great start for elite type, but SBGL SC is better for skeleton-themed list, when support with 2-4 boxes of new skeletons

I'd love to see stormcast eternals! They need are the warband marketed to new players more than any other and I'm sure we could all benefit from knowing whether the most affordable warband is for us

Gloomspite Gitz next would be awesome

Mine are deathrattle mainly, Heroes of Gallowmeer, led by Sir Daniel Fortesque. After earning his spot in Valhalla for saving Gallowmeer, his eternal rest has been interrupted again, and now he must lead the fallen warriors of his realm through a heroic campaign, to earn each and every one a place in Valhalla, and free themselves from the curses of undeath.

Would really love a Sylvaneth one

Contemplating a Pure Skeleton Army

I'm trying to pick between Soulblight and Seraphon

Come on Doug! You know you want to cover Beasts of Chaos next. You’re not fooling us with this poll thing. 😉

I have been thinking on the lore for the soulblight I’m doing, and didn’t know accurate it was going to be but the idea was to have the vampires look as if they were alive so long as the fed and if they didn’t they would lose some of their death magic within them. And the void that would be left would be filled by the magic of the realm(these vampires are going to be operating in the realm of life). So my question is what happens when magical beings are in a realm that opposes their magical nature?

I have a question for this faction: I recently purchased a package of Deathrattle Skeletons, but not for playing Warhammer but adding to my HeroQuest and Advanced HeroQuest inventory. Thing is that I play with the thought of actually playing Warhammer one day and now I am concerned, that I could choose the false weapon options for later game play while assembling them. Is it really relevant and if so how and what is furthermore a good option to go with?

I would to see a why you should play Ossiarch Bonereapers

just ordered the battletome yesterday 23.7 ;)

looks like Mannfried had a bath

My vampires are of the Dellamorte dynasty, they are the keepers of the Necropolis of Buffalorum... Buffalorum Cemetary is also home to my Nighthaunts, Francesco Dellamorte leads my Nighthaunt army.

Very interested in zombies, deathrattle stuff, corpse carts, etc. Kinda uninterested in the vampires. I’m wondering if it might be smarter to just play Nighthaunt or OBR and ally some Soulblight infantry into my army. Any thoughts?

I know you want to cover my shorties with guns next, right?

So basicaly i am in love with this faction since i play necrons in 40k so the asthetic is prety much the same. Mindless legions of thralls check Few Nobles that may or not be totaly insane check Spooky Scary Skeleton vibes check I am starting my army after my exams are over

Next video: "Why you SHOULDN'T play soulblight gravelords"

I can't understand why the black coach isn't a usable for them. It says right in the flavor text that it's a powerful vampire or necromancer powering it

I'm quite sad that we cannot dump 200+ dices on the board when attacking with Danse Macarbed Skeletons anymore. My opponent and the impromptu judge we roped in at the LGS, on the other hand, ...

Welp, I'm sold. I was on the fence until watching this. Looks like an incredibly fun army to play. Thank you!

Hi Doug!

Make nighthaunt next

Hmm is soulblight gravelords a good choice for new player as first army? It seems they have a lot of important abilities that require units to be close to leader and I’m not sure if they are good choice. I was also thinking about starting stormcast or bcr because they are more straightforward but they are not as interesting as vampires….

You should definitely play soulblight gravelords, but please leave some blood knights for me.

I think the topic of does the play style match the theme and you really sold me with the gravelords. I’ve always wanted to be a Necromancer no matter what game. And I feel this will fill my wish. Damn can’t wait to get started

Orruks or Idoneth next please?

Tbf the units aren't pushovers either kritza is an absolute beast since if you die then As long as you roll 4+ on your dice then he just runs away and then can start over

the only reason I need Zombies. (bonus reason: zombies lead by a pissed of vampire.)

They replaced Legions of Nagash correct?

My favorite force

Jus a casual painter/ collecter, but gravelords r my shiiiit

I am a player of soulblight gravelords

Nurgle!

There's nothing quite like bringing 183 models to a 2000pt game.

Slaves to Darkness!!

Deathrattle spam here we go!

I am totally stealing this "3ft-fabulous" saying! There needed to be something between "very well painted" and "tabletop standard". "decent" doesnt really explain it.

Weird comment, you seem very wholesome. Subbed.

Do Idoneth next. Trying to convince my partner to get into the game...

Show me a list that doesn't include zombies or skeletons en masse and I'd play them. I have no desire to field 500 chaff. I wish there was a more focused vampire option, hopefully in 3E.

Soulblight are what I thought Lumineth would be... No need to say that one of the armies will be gathering dust...

Gloomspite GITZZZ

Why? Because You can jse vargheist as crypt flayers, reuse zombje dragons and terrorgusses to have like a half of FEC don at the same time as SGL haha

Skavennnn ah that’s right they don’t exist

.

The wierd 8 bit music at the chapters didn't set the mood for this.

This series is not gunna be good for my wallet XD

I want elite army that kills the enemy, not horde tarpits that does not kill the enemy! BOOOORING!
