Smokeybongeyes Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Coming back to Wargameing after a long time away and knew that IronJawz had to be my dudes! This is the list I’ve come up with for my 1st 1000 points, let me know what you think and where I should go from there! Mega boss x1 140 Shaman x 1 120 Warchanter x1 80 Ardboys x10 180 Goregrunts x3 140 Brutes x5 180 Iron first BT 160 Point cost 1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albin100 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 You could drop the iron fist for another unit of gore gruntaz. The benefit of IF is less than having an extra unit in low cost games in my oppinion. But I'm quite a fresh Ironjawz player myself so don't take my advise as fact.

Smokeybongeyes Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Good advice, I was thinking that myself but kept the IF for the extra artefact, or maybe even drop the IF and the Shaman for an extra warchanter and more brutes? I think the Shaman is a very expensive mystic shield but then have nothing to unbind so I’m not too sure! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 You could drop the shaman and IF for 5 brutes and the new fungoid cave shaman, makes a great mystic shield bubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeybongeyes Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Yeah with the added bonus of having a Harbinger for any of the new rules but I haven’t looked in to that too much just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeybongeyes Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 What do you guys think of Ardboys? Seems like they are real good as far as chaff units are concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love them, they give us an option which we don't have anywhere else in the faction and with the massive unit discount they aren't quite as painful on the points. 1 hour ago, Smokeybongeyes said: Yeah with the added bonus of having a Harbinger for any of the new rules but I haven’t looked in to that too much just yet. If you want a mystic shield bot grab the Harbringer. He's hands down the best at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Yeah, you get to take part in any malign portents stuff and it looks a blast so I would suggest it, and with his 5+ save on top of his normal he is the most survivable bubble wizard we have. Ardboyz are good for sitting on an objective or tying up similar infantry. Mine eventually beat a unit of liberators, but they slogged at each other all game. For 1k I am running: Megaboss Warchanter Fungoid 10 x brutes 5 x brutes 3 x gore gruntas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeybongeyes Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Thanks guys real good information. Malakree you’re post on the IronJawz was awesome thanks for linking me into it and I see what you mean about the Ardboys they have a crazy amount of options in match play!

albin100 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 If you like ardboys you could play a list like this one; Megaboss 140 Weirdnob Shaman 120 30 ardboys 450 3 gore gruntaz 140 3 gore gruntaz 140 990 points in total You would be able to get the shaman ability to get +2 spell casting farely easy.

Soulsmith Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I worry it is a one trick pony list. You're hoping the shaman can pull off some big damage, but if it doesn't, other than the megaboss you have low damage output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeybongeyes Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 I think I’d drop the shaman and one unit of pigs for a warchanter and some brutes, you’d end up with a much more consistent damage out put. Than have the Warchanter buffing the Ardboy unit and the mega boss buffing the Brutes and just hope to do enough damage in the 1st and 2nd turn that mystic shield won’t be an issue.

Lanoss Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I have a 1k tourney coming up and I’m playing with the idea of Megaboss (metal ripper) Warchanter x2 Fungoid Brutes x5 Gruntas 3x3 I would drop the warchanters for another unit of Brutes but I find them too beneficial to lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeybongeyes Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 I don’t have much experience on the table top but I might drop some gore gruntas for some Ardboys just for more models on the table, I’m just think because if you’re on a smaller table the speed from the pigs won’t be as important and you’ll have a better tar pit with Ardboys but again I don’t have much experience.

Smokeybongeyes Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Or maybe even something like megaboos warchanter x2 ardboys 10 x2 brutes 5 gore gruntas 3 it means no magic but you can have a warchanter for before units of Ardboys, the megaboss buffing your brutes and a unit of pigs going for any objective that are a bit far or and weak points in the army but I’m just throwing ideas out ?

Soulsmith Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I would drop a unit of ardboyz for brutes, so each brute unit gets a pet warchanter. Get them on the table and you will see the difference in damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeybongeyes Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 Finally made a start! Still got a lot to go but I’m getting there! Couldn’t get a good picture but you can see them well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sangfroid Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Love the bright yellow scheme and the fact that you boyz have even got themselves some stags for dinner later (as long as the Brutes don’t see it first....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeybongeyes Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 Yeah I was playing with different shades for them and it was a choice between super bright or real dirty looking, the dirty look probably makes more sense but I love the bright yellow! Haha I’ve got to keep stags secret from my gf as well she’ll be pissed when she finds there bones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeybongeyes Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 My first pack of Ardboyz done! I experimented with these guys and found something’s I like and some I don’t! Next my Warchanter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeybongeyes Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Warchanter done! Im pretty happy with him but did anyone else have trouble with placement of the chest piece? I don’t think mine is right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeybongeyes Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Changed my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Nah it was correct, I know what you mean, but you have to think the straps mean their chest armour is just hanging against the torso. As he is reared up, the armour is also pointing up. Love the megaboss necklace on him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeybongeyes Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Yeah glad it wasn’t just me, but I still thought I’d go for the necklace and I don’t think the mega boss will miss it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
