Bethorina Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Hi all that right I want to make this formation for something fast and hard hitting and most of all fun I have enjoyed playing my gutbusters and have my list sorted for them (bat raps to come up soon) but now I want something new and this looks fun fast and furious unsure on the last battle line so picked a stonehorn beast rider unit but tempted to try the thundertusk aswell de how it plays let me. Know what you think any comments and ideas are always welcome other option was take an icebrow hunter and some frost sabres over the stonehorn riders spose this way I can benefit for the use of being able to use both artifacts due to the battalion Allegiance: DestructionFrostlord on Stonehorn (460)4 x Mournfang Pack (320)- Gargant Hackers 4 x Mournfang Pack (320)- Gargant Hackers 3 x Orruk Gore Gruntas (140)3 x Orruk Gore Gruntas (140)Stonehorn Beastriders (360)Braggoth's Beast Hammer (260)Total: 2000 / 2000Allies: 0 / 400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sangfroid Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 you can still go Beastclaw raiders allegience because the formation effectively gives thengore gruntas the correct allegience so I think this will probably do you better than plain Destruction. Will be a fun list to play, I’d probably go for a thundertusk to be honest as this gives you a nasty ranged threat ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 From memory that's the whole Battalion with the two Stonehorns, could maybe cut down on Mournfang to take a Tusk. I think you need one more Battleline unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalDachshund Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Yup, one battleline short. While Gore gruntas that are part of battalion don't break the Beastclaw Alliance they are still not a Beastclaw Battelline. Cut one pack of mourfangs into 2x2 unit and you are good to go. If you really must - tried this formation post GH2017 and it was... painful. Ended up without two big beasts, in the second turn to a pack of Skeletons. In a second game to the Skins Swarm. There is a raw power behind this formation but it's soo hard to deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kessler Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I have tried Braggoth few times, nice formation with nice models. And if you take Beastclaw allegiance you are fine with the battleline as well. I would take Thundertusk though; I didn't have it and good ranged threat was really missing. Also I like the idea of adding additional 4 mournfangs instead of beastriders: 2 to battalion and 2 for battleline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethorina Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 The stonehorn beastriders or if I go for the thundertusk beastriders are Battleline with beastclaw alligence just for reference even if I cut the mournfang to 2 units of 2 I can not get a 2nd thundertusk or stonehorn as they are 360pts for the battling variant and 380 for huskard and 460 for frostlord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have thought about the mournfang over a beastrider unit so might that at some point and I think I will go with the thundertusk as you said for range however tempted to send the stonehorn riders using ravager to cause a panic to my opponent turn one as it is a 2 drop army I feel the asking twice in a turn makes the mournfang super good especially with +1 to hit because if you go second turn one and you put this off and best case scenario charge turn one and you win priority for them 2 your getting a triple turn faith extra combat phase for the units which could be very strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypno Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I ran beast hammer pre and post GHB 2017 and it does seem harder to play as beastclaw these days my list was: BCR alligance Frostlord Stonehorn, Everwinters master, Pelt of Chanrgar Hunter, Elixir of Frostwyrm Butcher with cauldron 3x2 mournfang 2x3 Goregruntas 2 sabertusks 4 sabertusks Beast hammer Skal worked ok but want to try a few more things to see if beastclaw are dead (competitvley) for the time being Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethorina Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 @Hypnolet me know how the testing goes I think as you said it is hard to use but I think there is a big difference between mine and your lists I have gone heavy on the mournfang the behemoths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul G Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Min Beasthammer + Skal x 2 Hunters is one of the options I'm building towards at the moment too! Considering allying in 400 pts of Gutbusters in the form of; 40 grots, butcher and a gorger, 9 bulls and a butcher, or something taking bits from all three ideas!

In another thought one thing you could do is pack out the rest of your points with a skal, if you take one of the icebrow hunters as your general you can use the frost sabres as battleline. This gives you 2 battalions, a tough cavalry force which deploys on the board and a solid ambush force to deal with exposed ranged units. Plus both the icebrows and the frost sabres are really cheap which considering the beasthammer is 1300ish points at its smallest is brutal.

On topic, there really isn't a clean way to get that third battleline unit. Either your list, with theach second beastie, a random 2 man mornfang pack frees up more points allowing you to go ham on the beasthammer, with two blocks of 4 mournfang and a frost sabre unit you then get to pick between another 2 Mournfang, for a unit of 6!!, or 3 extra goregruntas and 20 points to triumph. The variation on that is to take an icebrow hunters as your general instead of the random 2 Mournfang unit, sadly that costs you the command ability of your Frostlord.
