AoS 2k vs Nighthaunt and Khorne

[Naeven]

So, I'll be playing my first matches since the original version of GHB in a couple of weeks.
I'm going to play 2k fights, against Khorne and Nighthaunt and probably them against a 4k list of mine.

I have absolutely no idea what to pitch against them since it's been so long since I played and back then I had to build with the main focus on killing Archaon...

That's why I need you guys!

My Nighthaunt buddy shared his list but the Khorne guy won't.

Nighthaunt:
Leaders
Lady Olynder
Spirit Torment
Coven Throne
Cairn Wraith

Battleline
Chainrasp Horde x20
Grimghast Reapers x30
Spirit Hosts x6
Hexwraiths x5

Other
Bladegheist Revenants x20
Chainghasts x2


And what I have to pick from:
40 saurus warriors clubs or spears
30 templeguards
24 skinks
20 knights with lances
20 chameleon skinks
2 bastiladon snakes or beam
2 stegadon/engine of the gods
1 troglodon
1 oldblood/scarvet on carno (magnetized)
1 Lord Kroak
1 Slann
1 Astro bearer
1 Eternity Warden
1 Oldblood
1 Sunblood
1 Priest (the old model, not sure what he counts as?)
2 starpriests
20 chameleon skinks
9 kroxigor
6 ripperdactyl
3 terradon
3 Scar vet on cold one
3 salamander
9 handlers
(2 Battlemages)

Any ideas?

The good part is that the chainrasp horde is only 20 models, so you could wipe them away before they start to be raised (a thing much more difficult against a horde 40 strong).

Your starting point should be the Slann + astrolith + EotG.
Then you could think to a shadowstrike starhost and put those 6 rippers in the sky. They will act as great killers, especially if lady Olinder is left alone.

your 40 saurus could forme a nice horde, and with teleport + Oldblood you should be able to dictate the charge and wipe away some large target, especially if you keep the Astrolith in range for rerolls.
As an alternative, you can always use a 20 saurus knights block and buff it with a starpriest serpent staff, doing the same thing.

Then go for summon and spam the battlefield with terradons and bastiladon

Kill the heroes. For both Nighthaunt and Khrone actually. Try to kill the Khorne Heroes at range, they are beasty in combat. Shadowstrike is probably your best option vs both of those armies.

Volume of fire or high damage profile fire is key to killing Nighthaunt. If you go shadowstrike I might include the 15-20 Chameleon Skinks.

You could try a list like this:

Allegiance: Seraphon
- Mortal Realm: Ghur

LEADERS:
Slann Starmaster (260)
- General
- Command Trait : Great Rememberer
- Artefact : Gryph-feather Charm
Engine of the Gods (220)
- Artefact : Rockjaws
Saurus Astrolith Bearer (160)
Skink Starpriest (80)

UNITS:
6 x Ripperdactyl Riders (280)
10 x Skinks (60)
-Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
10 x Skinks (60)
-Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
15 x Chameleon Skinks (360)
5 x Saurus Knights (90)
-Lances
4x Razordon (160)

BATTALIONS:
Shadowstrike Starhost (180)

ENDLESS SPELLS:
Balewind Vortex (40)

TOTAL: 1950/2000

I've seen this mentioned a lot, what exactly does it do? The model looks cool but I haven't read the rules for it..

It is a stationary endless spell. Rules are here.

 

[Naeven]

Thanks! That looks interesting!

 

[Killer Angel]

Yeah, a pretty powerful spell.

The extra spell can be used to generate more Celestial Conjuration points. In case it wasn't clear.
