r/Fyreslayers

Is there Ur-Gold here?

Pretty happy with the point reductions, it's gonna make it easier to field the scourge of aqshy (welcome back from ghyran) runeson. The new vulkyn look pretty nice, likely less situational than the original anti monster ability. The new intense fyrestream looks like an auto include to me, if used with the new rune of farsight it could be pretty devastating into infantry. As far as the updated prayer lore goes, it looks alright to me, not sure if I'll be replacing the zhargrim blessings tho. What do you guys think?

I've been holding off playing slayers for a bit due to the rumors. With the new changes and seasonal rules, I'm back in haha. The new shooting rune is interesting. Do we think that hearthguard see more play now? Ive been holding onto a heartguard box for a bit now and I might make it the shooting hearthguard.

In this video we continue to look at the Scourge of Aqshy updates for Warhammer Age of Sigmar, this time looking at the new enhancements, prayer lore and Warscrolls for the Fyreslayers.

I am not sure which Battletactics are the best for our beloved Shortkings. Have you tested some and if with what kind of List: Infantry, Droths or mixed?

I know this question has most likely asked before but I’m interested in getting into AoS and barely have any wargame experience. So this is all new to me.

I recently tested the water with 40K and am enjoying Votann and the Combat Patrol, and am ready to try the same thing with Spearhead and AoS. These are the two main games my friends play.

I know Fyreslayers are rumored to going away and I have been warned by my friends that they may be disappearing (or older units may) soon. I’ve read rumors and forums that mention they may be adopted into a larger Dwarven army as well.

I originally was going to go Cities of Sigmar for the mixed unit types. Reminded me of the Last Alliance in LotR. I like Fyreslayers but I don’t want an army that will have null units soon.

My questions are: would it be better to wait to see if a new dwarven army is coming with the new edition? Or would I be ok getting the Spearhead and possibly merging it with the new dwarven army?

Thanks for all the help!

Hey slayers, I've recently noticed I've been missing out on couple of rules that could have made for far stronger interactions, but could use some help deciding if it's smart to actually invest in them.. The setup I'm thinking of is runefather on foot with reinforced broadaxe hearthguards as his retinue, grimwrath to the side of the hearthguards and runefather on magmadroth next to grimwrath.

If the droth gets damaged, hearthguards get a relatively sustainable bonus 1 attack. If runefather on magmadroth uses warrior kings that's 41 attacks, on charge with 2+ to hit and 2+ to wound.

Grimwrath with I'll protect them with my life gets a 4+ ward near hearthguards and the magmadroth. With warrior kings and fight twice it's 12 attacks with 2+ 3+ 2 rend and 2 damage.

Popping an upgraded rune of searing heat and adding 1 rend on top would make it even crazier.

My question is, is this really as good as it seems or am i missing something? I can imagine the setup for this would be quite difficult, but does it make it inefficient? I don't have too much experience yet so any input is welcome!
