Trying to decide between Flesh Eater Courts and Fyreslayers

Discussion

Keep in mind my only experience w/ GW is Underworlds.

​

This all started when I looked up what armies were doing well on a whim fully expecting Sigmarines everywhere and i was like "What the f- are flesh eater courts" and saw their cool AF terrorogheists

​

I am noticing that flesh eaters are placing well in big tournaments and i love that they have cool bone bat dragon things, but their baseline dudes look like the most generic cave cannibal people i've ever imagined.

​

Fyreslayers, I love their look overall, but I see them have so-so placement. i also dont remember if their battletome came out around the same time as the 2.0 battletomes, so idk if they could potentially be updated before the flesh eaters potential next update

​

They seem to have a similarish playstyle by hording up and i can get pretty far by buying 2ish of their SC boxes

FEC do lend themselves to some good conversions, check out Ana’s stuff fromGardensOfHecate called something like Kingdom of Folda. Also I’ve seen a lot of neat kitbashes adding pieces of knight’s armor to them.

TBH by the way you’re talking about the Flesh Eater Courts it seems you’ve already decided.

that's fair, tbh i am most wondering how recently the fyreslayer battletome was made or if theres something about the 2 i am not seeing in general. cuz again, those crypt ghouls just seem.........blegh (visually)

I believe the most recent Fyreslayer was within the last month so more recent than the flesh eaters... my personal approach when undecided is to go by what you’ll have the most fun painting. Reckon you can make the ghouls interesting?

The current Fyreslayer battletome came out three days ago.

Also, I believe you can run FEC without any regular ghouls at all if you want.

FEC, because crypt horrors/flayers have arguably the best asses in the game.

Oh i should clarify: i know they horde up a bit (fyreslayers more so), but other than that i dont really know what they do or how they play.

Fyreslayers are much less of a horde with the new tome, and FEC can do all terrorgheists if you want, though there’s a pretty good chance terrorgheists will get nerfed in the next few months

That's my EXACT fear XD

FEC are way above everything at the tournament level right now, so they are almost certainly going to get nerfed a bit

they didn't nerfed DOK or LON when they were destroying everyone last year, i'm pretty sure they won't touch the FEC either

Don't choose an army because of its current strenght. Choose it for the style or the gameplay. An army can go from hero to zero in a single FAQ. Everyone was playing tzeentch last year because it was ultra broken, now, most of them leaved because they played tzeentch only for it's metagaming strenght, not their love for the army.
