So, here he is in all his piratey, flesh garbed glory - the most pimpin Duke in Commoragh.
I'm sort of upset they took him out of the new codex release because I spent a lot of time sculpting him and a lot of my list revolved around his poison enhancements...
And now, he'll be doomed to just being a lowly dracon for my poison armed trueborns.
Well I hope you all like him.
(For the record, the base isn't finished)
P.S By anyone's request, I'll do a tutorial on sculpting flayed skin. I'd be more than happy.
Byron,
ReplyDeleteReally liking that flayed skin cloak. It came out ace! I wouldn't worry too much about losing him. It's quite possible his abilities made it into the supplemental relics.
Cheers Greg!
DeleteI'm really hoping they do. List wise, I just might replace him with my favourite DE character - Drazhar.
Judging by the results of the weekend's tournament (my team won!), Sliscus really helped a lot against the Deathwing. The 30 poisoned shots coming from his trueborn unit wounding on 3+ was a godsend. That said, I was far more impressed with my archon slaying both belial and ezekiel in consecutive combat challenges. He also slew an entire Deathwing knight squad single handedly. I have to say, the huskblade/soul trap combo is brutal. Less so now it's only AP3 - but I guess that's what the Incubus bodyguards are for.
The talos was useless - I'll be replacing it with haywire or darklight armed scourges. Perhaps I'll add an allied coven detatchment for all those monstrous nasties to boost to 3k.
I'm hoping the chronos will see more use now, that it comes with FNP (well both of them do), but the chronos in particular buffs nearby units FNP, and it's own to 4+. MC's with 3+ and 4+ FNP are nothing to sneeze at!
DeleteThe archon seems to be really taking a hit this edition. The succubus seems to be the new go to...and leilth...holy moly she is a power house now and dropped points! She lost her cool bonus attacks...but has shred, reroll misses, AP2, and rampage now!
I think I'll still run the archon because ap3 isn't that much of a nerf from ap2. How often do we face terminators? If I do, I guess my Incubi to soak em up. I reckon my 3 plus the Klaivex in my archon's bodyguard could take out 5 on the charge easily.
