After watching all the reviews you've done so far, I went to a Warhammer store and told them that faction terrain is free. I said Rob on THW told me it was free, and they immediately handed it over with no further questions.
I'd say that Bloodcrushers are the better choice. They are cheaper quite durable. Both units are no hard hitter. Skullcrushers are more durable I think. If you have a point left over take the skullcrushers. Settle down on an objective and start a family ❤
Pretty sure you skipped over the great brass parking lot, aka Mighty Skullcrushers. Still as pillowfisted as ever with 3 attacks at 3/3/1/1 with +1 on the charge and impact mortals on charge. But they're also 15 health on a 2+ with big bases and an 8" move, so a pretty great screen and pin to babysit the boring ol' objective game and let my bloodthirsters focus on doing what they do best.
I loved the part were Rob said blood, it was so profound and deep. It really changed the political landscape and dare I say the hearts and minds of those around us? Yes....yes it did 🥲
Some quick comments on some unit roles and overall strategies from a long time Khorne player that you might not be aware of: Blood Reavers serve the perfect function as cheap as shit screen/sacrifices for free bloodtithe from the slaughter priest ability. they have the lowest points cost in the faction from a standard unit and you don't take them to expect a lot out of them, only to fill points and serve the above function. Strategy you can NEVER count on the buff from the 8 cost bloodtithe as a point in a unit's favor. Realistically, you'll only ever be using Murder Lust and Wizard Bane in any game that isn't a complete curb stomp in one direction or the other. The ability to turn off a key enemy spell, or have an enemy close to 8-9 inches away from one of your units that's sitting on an objective expecting to charge into you and and take it from you by end of turn, then you just murder lust 3 inches away making their charge way harder, or moving 3 inches into combat with an enemy on their turn so that they can't shoot or charge you, is WAY more effective and devastating to their game plan than, "I didn't do anything until I had 8 bloodtithe on BR3, and so now I get +1 attacks". None of this is in meant as malicious or to be as talking down, just some good solid tips from a long time player to help newer players play our favorite blood soaked murder bois.
Really like the Khorne rules and profiles. Think a lot of the units are just a tad overcosted 5-10% but that’s not a bad place to be at the start of an edition.
I was passing my local blood bank and out pops Rob wearing a red tracksuit and heart shaped glasses with red lenses. He was holding a pinkish? milkshake sucking on the straw. I asked him, "is that strawberry?" And he winked at me and spun around on the spot. By the time he came around half the shake was gone. Then he spun around the other way and the cup was empty. "That's gotta give you a brain freeze!" I exclaimed. "Not with these bad boys on" as he tipped the shades down and winked. I went inside the blood bank and asked for a strawberry shake. They said they didn't serve those, and they never will.
SKULLS FOR KHORNE!! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! Remember, in a universe of unending war, we all do Khorne's great work 🔥💀🔥💀🔥💀🔥💀🔥💀🔥💀🔥💀🔥💀 Thanks for the breakdown Rob- awesome content as always. Khorne's blessings be upon you and may you reap a mighty tithe in Khorne's glorious name in your battles this weekend 🔥
I love when you say, 'in my honest opinion ' and it seems like you're checking yourself lately. Don't stop being you, we love you being you. In MY honest opinion, your videos are fire 🔥
Can anyone help me please??? The altar says that the invoker is protected from attacks. All attacks that target the invoker are redirected to the altar first. But what is an attack? For example: if a unit does mortals on the charge, is that an attack? Can the invoker be wounded? Or if a slaughterpriest uses his ability to generate blood tithe, can the damage redirected to the altar? Is a magical spell an attack? There are many ways to deal damage in Aos... But not everything seems to be identified as an attack...
Bloodthirster under Khornate legion to make Aspiring Deathbringer fight and then furious warleader into making blood warriors fight for a 3 attack in one activation sounds pretty sweet
But the lord giving fights first to a gorechosen, then normal activate a herald, use his ability to instantly activate blood letters, then khornate legion to make aspiring deathbringer fight, then use his ability to make blood warriors activate. Providing enemy doesn't have fight first or last does that makes 5 activations before the enemy
@@olafolafsson2755 didn't say it was. Your turn you activate your fight first which has to be a gorechosen, then it's normal sequencing where you have first pick. You pick the herald. Herald is the 2nd to fight here
Rob, I think you misunderstood the Mighty Lord of Khorne's ability. He gives strikes first to GORECHOSEN. Gorechosen are the foot heroes which are all pretty mediocre. It sounded like you think he gives strikes first to a Bloodbound unit, which would be any mortal unit. He could give SF to an Aspiring Deathbringer who could then chain activate Blood Warriors. That's neat but the two heroes required to do this are well over 200p together.
i love your reaction to all units adding +1/2 attacks for a billion attacks. awsome dream status rly. sadly however the +1 from the icon guy is once per game, and to use the blood tith( stops your +1 rend blood tithe) requires a lot of blood tithe so not usable until later in the game.
Just got back into AoS. 2nd edition was last i played. They really did my khorne guys wrong. No more Korgus Kuhl, Valkia the Bloody, Gareks Reavers, alt weapon profiles for Slaughterpriests or blood warriors, so many abilities are gone, Magores Fiends. Wtf!?
Hey, love the video. Blood for teh blood god! I was wondering if the combo of using the foot BloodMaster to fight with a unit of Bloodletters, but also use the Khorneate Legion ability to then trigger the Aspiring Deathbringer who would then trigger a unit of Blood warriors, to make four units to fight at once, would work.
Yes, it would haha But you would need to successfully charge with everything, while having at least one of the mortal and daemon units within 12", which would be an incredible concentration of ressources... So its amazing in theory, a bit less in practice Still gonna make it a list tho
@@dramoka1201 the idea is that you use the two heroes for that, the thought being that it's easier to have them within 12, but the limit is if you can use two reactions on the Bloodmaster's fight instead of the Bloodletters it'll also do a real number on a hero or centre piece
A few question concerning the Butchers of Nations Rule. I can use this ability even in my oponents turn, correct? 2nd question: in my opinion the combination of 1 Apsiring Deathbringer, 1 Mighty Lord of Khorne and 2 units of Blood Warriors (for example) would allow all this units to strike in a row and most of the time first. My idea is: 1st to go is the Mighty Lord of Khorne -> bring me their skull for Aspiring Deatbringer -> Furious Warleader for Blood Warriors 1 -> Butchers of Nations for Blood Warrior Unit 2. So all off this would happen in a row. Is this correct? Please let me know.
I was waiting for this one ! Great video, but you did make a mistake on the skullgrinder and Skarr. Once he dies, the bonus would die with him, since replacement units are considered to be new units, and thus, all buffs, debuffs, tokens, and uses of once per battle abilities are reset. I would put the buff on a killy Mighty Lord of Khorne or a fun Exalted Deathbring The bloodcrushers can play with the attrition game of the daemons with the herald on blood throne. A reinforced stack of 30 wounds, 4+ save and a 6+ ward coming back as 15 wounds and a blood tithe point in the pocket can be quiet good i think ? (tho, they cost the same as bloodletters, sooooo...they really could add a killy ability on the charge, or add an attack somehow...) I still find the bloodbound side stronger than the daemon side, but who knows how impactful and efficient the blood throne can be ? seems like that model is a key unit for playing a daemon focused list And a note for flesh hounds, they make great sacrifices for the slaughterpriest. For just 10 points more than the bloodreavers, they have the same health pool, a better save and a 6+ ward. Their speed and base size makes them good at screening too i think. 110 point for pinning a big threat for a turn and gaining a blood tithe blood is a good deal i think
as annoying as it is to have the manifestation rules on separate pages, maybe this is a hint that they are destined to be changed based on the community findings?
I’m ecksited uhbout beeing KHORNE guye. Riting iz bad. Bluhd gud. Haha in actuality im hyped. Didn’t play a single game of 3.0 so im excited to get my followers of the blood god off the shelf for 4.0
i have play some game with my khorne army with match play rules and it lost alot of thing. kind of don't like the changes. it lost some good prayer and any casting army going to eat khorne up fast. the khorne incocation just suck now, lost some good blood tithe effect, lost summoning but I'm fine with that but with the point increase kind hit the army hard, the only thing they did good for khorne have a wand on the daemons but on the unit is a 6+ wand it should have been 5+ wand to make up for losing the summoning with the army and for the mortal they should have give them a little bit better saves on some of the units. i dont like the Skull Altar changes because now I have to have a priest to babysit it and just to get the effect to stop any spell target my unit. I already said this once but the increase point is a big hit to the army. now I'm done complaining about this Army Rules and changes
So true - I played Khorne 4.0 aswell and it felt pretty helpless especially against shooting, fast things and strike first shenanigans. Khorne units are quite slow and don't have a huge punch compared to many other things in AoS. The tricks come from a lot of Hero warscrolls - But you cant spend all those points into useless foot heroes. You won't have anything on the board then. Bloodthirsters are expensive af and you wont bring a bloodthirster back because if you wait and store your bloodtithe points to have the mighty 8 - you gonna lose the game.
YAAY this is my army! so excited! o-o will edit my opinyot in after watching ! watched it! and man Khorgorath is kinda awful xD then again they dont even sell that model on its own! Love the army, everything seems rather ok to great!
I like your content a lot! AND please stop comparing 4 to 3, just dont say "Not as strong as it once was" it brought my hype down from 1000.000 skulls down to 999999 skulls, yes man you took a skull FOR THE SKULLTHRONE ehm ehm totally lost my point. Thanks for the video!
Bloodbound > Deamons not even close sadly. Skarbrand and Bloodthirsters might sound great but when you consider the points not really. Just do the math and skullreapers overshadow every other unit. Plus you can buff the hell out of those bloodbound units. I was a deamon player but seeing how good bloodbound are i will switch. Good thing is i have 2 k of daemons and 2 k of bloodbound.

Won my first game of 4th tonight with Khorn and it was bloody great. Let's go Khorne!!!!
Rob has a mullet, in my opinion.
Good luck with your Khorne army this weekend
This was a really great review, thank you. It cleared up alot. Keep up the fantastic work
Screw blood and skulls, COMMENT FOR THE ALGO GODS!
ITS HERE!! You're doing the blood gods work sir
Greetings prasie algorithm gods!
I just hope my Skulltaker will be fun!
I'm excited about being a Khorne guy
These videos are great!! I'm patiently waiting for the Stormcast review!
Disciples of Tzeentch and Hedonites of slaanesh look like the most interesting armies for chaos. Do disciples next!
He had already done it. It was put up 8 days ago.

@andyluke5586 which lord give fight first? I gotta rewatch the vid. And I'm looking to ditch the deathbringer for a hero slot
@@connorclifford mightly lord of khorne. Foot guy that was korgis khul model
@@andyluke5586 Herald is not a Gorechosen.

If I add a dice to the charge roll, making the charge roll 3D6, do I keep the total result to use or must I use the 2 best dice?
Happy for blood warriors.
I am looking forward to the Nighthaunt video that comes out (hopefully soon), thubking about getting into them and they look cool
i love your reaction to all units adding +1/2 attacks for a billion attacks. awsome dream status rly. sadly however the +1 from the icon guy is once per game, and to use the blood tith( stops your +1 rend blood tithe) requires a lot of blood tithe so not usable until later in the game.
Confused. Doesn’t the Rule of One prevent the multiple buffs giving +2 Attacks? Is it not capped at +1 Attack max?

Would be nice if we got a Nurgly review soon.

Blood and skulls
excellent review
Praying for DoK next!
I'll get to it
So no Khorgos Khul in this faction pack, just the generic Khorne lord?? Would have to think he gets and exalted new sculpt when the book drops
Am I missing the Stormcast review?

They keep floating away 😅
Bloodbound > Deamons not even close sadly. Skarbrand and Bloodthirsters might sound great but when you consider the points not really. Just do the math and skullreapers overshadow every other unit. Plus you can buff the hell out of those bloodbound units. I was a deamon player but seeing how good bloodbound are i will switch. Good thing is i have 2 k of daemons and 2 k of bloodbound.
