Entre las formaciones Core que se nos presentan en este suplemento nos encontramos con:
Murderhorde
- Skulltaker or 1 Herald of Khorne
- 8 units chosen in any combination from the following list:
- Bloodletters of Khorne
- Flesh Hounds of Khorne
- Bloodcrushers of Khorne
Special Rules:
Escalating Bloodlust: Units from a Murderhorde add 1 to their Attacks in close combat whilst they are within 6" of any other unit from their Formation.
Harbringer of Khorne: If the Herald of Khorne from this Formation is a Lesser Locus of Abjuration, Greater Locus of Fury or an Exalted Locus of Wrath, the special rules associated with that locus affect all units from this Formation within 12" of him. If such a unit is also affected by another locus, they will receive both benefits.
Siguiendo la dinámica de Khorne, la formación busca potenciar el ataque cuerpo a cuerpo de la formación al completo, e imaginarse 45 unidades de Flesh Hounds lanzando al ataque me parece algo digno de jugar, considerando además que obtenemos todas las ventajas que nos deja el Decurion.
Warpflame Host
- The Changeling or 1 Herald of Tzeentch
- 9 units chosen in any combination from the following list:
- Pink Horrors of Tzeentch
- Flamers of Tzeentch
- Exalted Flamer of Tzeentch
Specials Rules:
Harbringer of Tzeentch: If the Herald of Tzeentch from this Formation is a Lesser Locus of Transmogrification, Greater Locus of Change or an Exalted Locus of Conjuration, the special rules associated with that locus affect all units from this Formation within 12" of him. If such a unit is also affected by another locus, they will receive both benefits.
Storm of Daemonic Fire: Add 1 to the Strenght value of any Tzeentchian Flame Weapons or psychic powers from the Discipline of Change unleashed by units from a Warpflame Host.
En el papel la idea de tener un Warpflame Host en mesa y dimensionar la cantidad de fuego psíquico que podríamos lanzar, sumado a todos los bonos que estos tendrían, todo suena genial, pero una vez puestos en mesa y sin nada más que hacer que esperar la fase psíquica, y con altas posibilidades de otorgarle Feel No Pain al enemigo, no hay por donde.
- Epidemius or 1 Herald of Nurgle
- 7 units chosen in any combination from the following list:
- Plaguebearer of Nurgle
- Nurglings
Specials Rules:
Distracting Swarm of Flies: Enemy units cannot fire Overwatch against units from a Tallyband.
Enfeebling Nausea: At the start of each Assault phase, enemy units that are locked in combat with any units from a Tallyband must pass a Leadership test or reduce their Strenght and Toughness characteristics by 1 for the duration of that phase.
Harbringer of Nurgle: If the Herald of Nurgle from this Formation is a Lesser Locus of Virulence, Greater Locus of Fecundity or an Exalted Locus of Contagion, the special rules associated with that locus affect all units from this Formation within 12" of him. If such a unit is also affected by another locus, they will receive both benefits.
Es la que he probado en mesa, le bajo el coste a la formación metiendo Nurgletes con infiltración para asegurar objetivos y tres unidades de Portadores con Heraldo llevando la reliquia que baja el Liderazgo, con foco para ganar Feel No Pain, duros y buenos para trabar unidades que puedan entorpecer el juego. Y nunca olvidar el despliegue rápido de los demonios. Con la bajada de resistencia que aún duele y las reglas de Oscurecido y Sigilo, Nurgle se consolida como el indicado para asegurar y mantener objetivos. Lástima que estas formaciones no traigan Objetivo Asegurado.
Flayertroupe
- The Masque of Slaanesh or 1 Herald of Slaanesh
- 6 units chosen in any combination from the following list:
- Daemonettes of Slaanesh
- Fiends of Slaanesh
Specials Rules:
Beguiling Chimes: Enemy units that are locked in combat with any units from a Flayertroupe reduce their Weapon Skill and Initiative characteristics by 1 (to a minimum of 1).
Harbringer of Slaanesh: If the Herald of Slaanesh from this Formation is a Lesser Locus of Grace, Greater Locus of Swiftness or an Exalted Locus of Beguilement, the special rules associated with that locus affect all units from this Formation within 12" of him. If such a unit is also affected by another locus, they will receive both benefits.
Viendo el juego de Slaanesh, me iría a la segura con Diablillas por sobre los Diablos para saturar en cuerpo a cuerpo y con Invisibilidad y uno que otro buff, bajan unidades sin problema, pagando en creces la cantidad de puntos invertidos.
Hasta acá con las formaciones del Core, la próxima entrega un vistazo a las Auxiliares y lo mejor del ejército, las Monstruosas, hasta pronto.
