Hi all!
I finally found a minute to start a thread here with my details for the slow grow!
After thinking about which army to pick for it, I decided to simply update one of my existing armies to 4th. Forces of the Abyss is both my 1st ever KoW army, and my latest, as I’ve updated (some of) my collection surrounding the release of berserkers and nagarris.
What used to be single based, in a generic greenland colors, is now multibased on icy environment.
As you all know me, I’m a powergamer and my updated list was basically a berserkers spam. It doesn’t translate well into 4th! So I’ve had to change things around a bit.
My goals are, to keep rebasing my existing collection and finally paint some models I haven’t (chroneas I’m looking at you! 2026 is the year your paintjob will get done).
Another point is, I plan to go in three steps of 750 rather than four of 500. The speed is the same, but the steps make more sense to me!
Locally I am organizing a first event for the 750pts ambush step, then will organize further gaming weekends, increasing the sizes - but keeping things open. Meaning, everyone is welcome to join either for a demo if they have to borrow an army, or with their 750pts list, or a larger one (in increments of 750 so 1500 and 2300 because maths) if they have them. So if you have 2300pts bring that but be ready to play 750, 1500, or 2300.
That means, we can easily do eg 2 vs 1, 750+1500 vs 2300, or 750+750 vs 1500. A lot more flexible for our gaming day where people show up kind of whenever.
Anyway! Without having tried them on UB or with empty bases, here are my three lists - subject to fine tuning, but at least gives me some direction as to what to do hobbywise.

So, long story short:
1/ I need to find my succubi. Good thing is, my original forces of the abyss list has four regiments of succubi as well, so… I have the models somewhere, painted.
They need a refresh and a rebase.
2/ mautibusu needs a rebase. I’m tempted to just print another one to base for 4th and keep the 3rd basing *just in case*
3/ I need two troops of flame bearers. I might have the models too…
4/ I need a second warlock. I might just buy the champions guy, paint it, and use it, as the model is cool. But, it has an actual profile sooo might not be the best idea.
5/ I need to paint my chroneas, finally, and (re)base it.
That’s all! Oh, and start playing these lists to adjust them if needed 
Next time with pictures, I promise!
