If you weren't running the flyrant formation (skyblight?) everyone felt you weren't competitive.<br /><br />So he "shamed" the net into admitting they were wrong. Thus lictorshame.<br /><br />It's definitely not overpowered by any means, as it requires extreme skill to play, and is unforgiving from a mistake standpoint. It's definitely not a list (as firewasp points out) that you can pick up and play. It requires LOTS of practice, over and over again.<br /><br />Your deathleaper looks awesome, and I love all the base work and detail you put into it. I hope he'll start performing to match the quality and execution of his paintjob soon!greggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528518337222880432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-5150666377171154422015-05-21T09:51:46.196+01:002015-05-21T09:51:46.196+01:00Nice work; I am not a big fan of the stock standar...Nice work; I am not a big fan of the stock standard Deathleaper model but you really have turned him into a centrepiece. Regardless of how flipped Lictors are, I'll be damned if I don't take one every battle. They are just so gribbly ;-)Marc van Holsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06111807836610358784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-41289413138206510072015-05-21T03:00:56.487+01:002015-05-21T03:00:56.487+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Monkeychukahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943869291884524172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-23432695938249733352015-05-21T02:59:45.821+01:002015-05-21T02:59:45.821+01:00Brilliant!

I don't use Deathleaper either tbh but he'd be great if he wasn't an HQ. I'd like to attend Blow Wars.

All our special characters are HQs except The Red Terror now. Back when we had the Doom I could run both Flyrants but now he's the default choice which is a shame.<br /><br />The only other option [which doesn't actually exist as a BW Special Character, so it's not an option] is any of the Deathstorm named units, in particular the Spawn of Cryptus if he was on the list and according to Battlescribe that's in the Troop choice of your primary CAD.40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-35654215093554587492015-05-20T19:38:23.173+01:002015-05-20T19:38:23.173+01:00Yeah he is a bit of a lackluster super assassin. F...Yeah he is a bit of a lackluster super assassin. Far better equipped to take out grots then warlords. However he is one of the cheapest special characters, just a shame he takes up a Flyrant, sorry HQ slot.

I agree with the lictor ...Haha, blow wars.. (sorry)<br />I agree with the lictor shame sentiment, taking a unit that has long been considered sub par and using it for its strengths to make a really effective list is great. Its one of the reasons I love the army, I don't play it btw. However its an army that isn't a no brainer to play, unlike some previous top tier armies, leaf blower and serpent spam to name a couple, anyone could play those lists and walk away with a win, as the army list more or less plays itself. With lictor shame it takes a good general to know how to play the list against the opponents and the mission to get a win. Look at one of the guys from facing the grey tide from their recent podcast about his experience. Not an easy list to play.
