Malakree Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 So I went to sign up for the shadespire event at blood and glory then impulse bought myself a ticket for the AoS tourney aswell. Now I'm sat here realizing I have quite a bit to paint in not a lot of time especially given some key bits are still missing. This is the list I'm currently looking at taking. Allegiance: DestructionLeadersOrruk Megaboss (140)- General- Trait: Bestial Charisma - Artefact: Daubing of Mork Orruk Warchanter (80)Orruk Warchanter (80)Orruk Weirdnob Shaman (120)Orruk Weirdnob Shaman (120)Gitmob Grot Shaman (80)- AlliesBattleline30 x Orruk Ardboys (450)- Ironjawz Battleline5 x Orruk Brutes (180)- Ironjawz Battleline5 x Orruk Brutes (180)- Ironjawz Battleline6 x Orruk Gore Gruntas (280)- Ironjawz BattlelineUnits60 x Gitmob Grots (270)- Bows & Slashas - AlliesReinforcement Points (0)Total: 1980 / 2000Allies: 350 / 400 Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated though I do need to add some notes. My total models painted right now are 1 megaboss, 1 weirdnob, 1 warchanter, 3 goregruntas, 5 brutes (with two chopas) 10 ardboyz (with 10 more being painted atm) and 10 grots. My total collection including painted and not yet assembled is. 1 megaboss 2 start collecting ironjawz 3 weirdnob warbands 1 gitmob shaman 60 gitmob grots. You will no doubt notice that I don't actually have a death cabbage yet and can't afford one, as such my list can't include a mawkrusha. I realize that I'm a little constrained but any thoughts or help on the potential list would be much appreciated. I'm thinking bestiality charisma on the megaboss would let me get multiple inspiring presences down but I'm not sure if ironclad isn't mandatory with only 7 wounds despite his daubing.

Malakree Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 One option would be to drop the grot skin entirely, add in 10 ardboyz and another 5 brutes. Not sure if that would be better but I'm really worried about battleshock on 60 grots. I guess if they are being hammered my heroes aren't dying...

Sangfroid Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Nothing wrong with the list except your really giving yourself a lot to do in a couple of weeks (circa 90 models) So Based on the fact you need to paint some stuff, plus you will not have a Mawkrusha I’d maybe suggest having a look at this list this below picture ive often ran double footboss in a similar fashion and it’s excellent except sometimes (sylvaneth) you find your missing punch so having more rend -2 is important for those tough nuts to crack, therefore your brutal boss has meatrippa to advance and buff/fight with brutes while the kunnin Boss gets Boss skewer. I’ve put ironclad but tbh you could pic any of that, brutish cunning or bestial charisma. Formation for extra artifact (and less models to paint ?) kept the Ardboyz in a big horde as that looks like a way you wanted to play but paint time permitting if it’s a too much to do 20 Ardboyz whack in 10 more brutes and second Weirdnob maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly I'm looking for opinions on list variations that might work because I don't wana waste a bunch of time painting stuff I then don't need haha I'd probably just run the extra weirdnob instead of the megaboss. I'm thinking of loading up on wizards to abuse my 30 ardboyz and give target saturation. It's why I went for all 6 hero slots, plus points to models it's less painful.

Skeekrit Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Do you have anything available to substitute for the Grots. Painting 50 of them could be soul destroying especially if you're not used to painting that many models quickly. Any more destruction in your collection either painted or not?

I guess I could drop the grots and see about finding another weirdnob warbands, that leaves me doing 15 brutes though which I'll spend way more time painting. Could also go for something like this instead with the msu brutefist.

Advantage with the second list is if I get time I can drop the Ironfist to take the 5 extra brutes. Gives a little painting redundancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sangfroid Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Love the first list, though having played the brutefist it does seem expensive for only 3 units, however the mortal wounds will be really handy try it and if it feels a waste maybe swap in an Ironfist?

OK so right now the models which aren't in question are A weirdnob shaman A warchanter 3 goregruntas 5 brutes 20 ardboyz (though 5 are almost done and 5 are partly done). I'll work on those then panic on how to complete the list later.

Gives me 370 points to play with, kinda wish I had 6 extra goregruntas but sadly those are the ones that take me the longest of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakree Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 So as the date draws nearer and mad painting is underway I find myself panicking and tinkering with the list constantly. I know I'm crazy it's just one of my ticks. As a result I've come up with this, problem is if I'm going to do it I need to order the models now to have a hope in he'll of them being done. There is also the no Warchanter issue...

Not sure if it's to radical though for my first tournament, should I just stick with 2 warchanters and run with what I have already. I'm also really tempted to try and sneak a great waaagh! Banner in whatever.

Fungrim Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 @Malakree I think I prefer the 2nd list? The 1st is very magic-heavy... thought about sticking a balewind in there if you're dipping into that realm? This is the list I'm looking at for B&G at the moment, it's a bit thin on the ground and vulnerable to bad match-ups... Troggoth Hag (360) Megaboss on Maw-Krusha (460) Orruk Weirdnob Shaman (120) 30 x Orruk Ardboys (450) 10 x Orruk Brutes (360) 3 x Orruk Gore Gruntas (140) Balewind Vortex (100) 1990 It's all or nothing really, should be fun though! Had a few practices games, which were interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
