AoS Playing Against Khorne

[Dragonfire]

Hello, lizardinos! I'm playing in a AoS league and one of my opponents is someone I can't stand playing against. He's been talking up Khorne all month and honestly, I expect there is always the chance of losing, but I'd like to at least put together a list that can stand toe-to-toe with Blades of Khorne if not crush them. We're playing 1k, and I'm feeling the need to pit Saurus against them flanked by a Bastiladon and Stegadon. What would you all recommend for BoK?

 

[LizardWizard]

Do you know if he runs a Demon or Mortal heavy list?

You will want to kill his Blood Thirsters asap if he brings any. Ripperdactyls are awesome at this

 

[Dragonfire]

Mortal heavy, from the looks of it!

 

[LizardWizard]

Are y'all planning to play the new Meeting Engagement or just a standard 1k matched play?

 

[Dragonfire]

Standard 1k play!

Do the second list. In all my experience in gameplay and watching other battles, Badtiladons are terrifying to demons. As in the can absolutely annihilate the opposing demons. 2d6 rend 1 damage 3 attacks is absolutely devastating, this goes even with meh rolling.

 

[Dragonfire]

Thank you both!

Fun fact: my buddy wanted to start a Khorne daemon list once.
He then took a look at some of my warscrolls and the idea died.

Everyone knows that reptiles are innately superior to all other creatures. That’s why seraphon are just the best

and yet its the Chickens that are descended from T-Rex... and not the skink lol

 

[ILKAIN]

for the record... I'd play the SHIT out of a chicken based army. their allegiance ability could be similar to what happens when link hits one too many times lol

 

[Lizerd]

Excuse me sir but it’s actually T. Rex as rex is the species

And now you all know I am a mega nerd.
Also I agree, a chicken army would be awesome!

 

[ILKAIN]

we do indeed, and I knew that, I generally speak as if speaking to filthy casuals when it comes to archeology lol

hmmmm, I have a Carnosaur Kit that I haven't done anything with. I might have to start looking at some chicken source art.

We at lustria are know for our ability to stay on topic.

It’s not like they are going to punish us for this.

Wait I just said that to a mod
*runs into hidey hole*

To try and put us kind of back on topic a chicken themed army could actually yield some strange results, simply from the bizarre martyrs of the models, and could distract a khorne opponent

Especially if it start to rain.

I really don’t get this. Although showering someone with a hose would be interesting, even thought it is a bit mean

 

[Aginor]

Chicken army....
Man, I'd love to play something like the Tengu from Guild Wars.
Bird people are pretty awesome.

I brought a list simuliar to the second one listed above agains Khorne and they didn't stand a chance. They brought the big guy that can deal 32 mortal wounds (8 mortal wounds somehow doubled and it can attack twice with his blood priest). I just shot everything at him and killed it, especially with the bastiladons as they get 3 wounds per hit. Then I just did target priority. I also made sure not to fully kill any of his battleline units so he wouldn't get summoning points.
