Tuluth Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 So, the way the earlier preview laid it out, was that you would get a points discount for fielding some units at their maximum strength. Using Moonclan Grots as an example, 3 units of 20 (minimum strength) would cost you 360 points. A single large unit of 60 (maximum strength) would cost you, say, 320 points, for a 40 point discount. Again, these are totally made up discount examples, using current points and unit min/max from GHB16. Additionally, the discount may only be available for an allegiance, and not as an Ally, or in a Grand Alliance allegiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysandestolpe Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 OH MY GAWD, you guys... I can finally use my scratch built Rock Lobbers. I just need to finish 1 and repaint some bits to fit my yellow power IJ. Thanks to @NoobhammerN8 who sent me the bitz like 1.5 years ago! I also need another giant or two to build into Iron Jawz. Anybody got one or two laying around to sell for cheap? ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koalaninja Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I could not be more excited about this. The lack of model variety held me back from collecting iron jaws until now. The problem is I now can't decide what to take!! One option is a Tyrant and a squad of maneaters. They are all tasty in combat and have shooting attacks. Option 2 is fanatics and bolt throwers as they are just super fun. Options 3 is troggoths. What are you guys thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucio Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I'm torn between adding some Gitmob Grot artillery, some Squigs (since my Warboss has a pet Cave Squig), or a Gargant (though I really want to build a heavily armoured conversion, like the old Armoured Giant from GW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalDachshund Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I would say that BCR could go into allies list for Ironjawz. There is already a BCR+IJ battalion so it sounds like a no-brainer to me. Also, all giants and monsters. Orc like 'em big! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Tomlin Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Morning all! Allies are exciting news for us right! I'm sure many Ironjawz players like me have a bunch of cool ideas and conversions etc that they will now be able to use in Matched Play. For me this predominately includes; Idol of Gork, Warboss on Wyvern and Big Stabbas. I may also get to use my crossbow armed Brutes as a suitable counts-as unit. On 26/07/2017 at 5:10 PM, Nico said: An Arachnorok (if available). A Warboss on Wyvern, since his command ability buffs all Orruks (although you might thereby lose out on a trait). A Warboss with a banner, since his buff affects all Orruks. Rock Lobbas or Bolt Throwers A Troll Hag Nice choices there! On 26/07/2017 at 8:38 PM, Payce said: I want a Teef Rukk. Me too! I converted up one Ironjawz style Big Stabba and then stopped as I never saw myself using it. Definitely will continue with this idea at some point if possible. On 27/07/2017 at 5:02 AM, Blueisola said: I am nearing painting completion of a brute boss on Wyvern, so am pretty stoked I can legally use him. and of course a gargant for some good, swinging fun! as much as I know it would be legal, hope we don't see a ton of Stonehorns showing up in most lists. I've had the Mierce Wyvern for ages now and a spare Brute to convert as a rider. Can't wait to finally have a reason to crack on with the model as it'll be a fantastic new centrepiece for my army. On 27/07/2017 at 8:31 AM, Koalaninja said: I hope not! Mega batallions are a total waste of time and gw should stop supporting them. The people playing games at this size is next to nothing. Fingers crossed for accessible cool batallions. I think you misunderstand. He meant one-drop battalions that fit into 2,000 points and comprise of multiple smaller battalions and other units. Getting these would be a fantastic boost for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysandestolpe Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I'd be down to build my own Rouge Idol for sure if that was a possible ally. A good point cost too if it remains the same for just the one drop extra in the army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimTeef Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Since I managed to grab the ThunderFist box with the Gargant in there, I certainly plan to use the big guy, and who knows, maybe the battalion will be legal too, just for funzies. I also love the Fellwater Troggoths, so I plan on buying them and will finally be able to use them as well. I don't think that the IJ would too too against using allies like these, as long as they are tough and can take a hit or three! I hadn't considered the Warboss on Wyvern. I might have to convert my Azhag up into a 'Ard Boy-like Warboss who keep control of his warband through his big pet - or maybe he'd be a second in command, who knows. I have a bunch of the old Spider-Rider models from the older WHFB sets, so getting an Arachnarok and using them sounds fun, along with the Rock Lobba and Spear Throwers that I have. Oh the possibilities! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riavan Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I'd prefer more ironjawz models :(. Need some weird stuff to change up the mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'd all prefer that. But it's clear now that it's not going to happen anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Peanut Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I have a question regarding Grimgor Ironhide, since he is not available any more and the substitute warscroll is the Orruk Warboss warscroll, makes this the Orruk Warbos really an ally? Grimgor is an Ironjaw unit... I am a little bit confused here. I am guessing that he is an ally, but I just want to be sure. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
