Fridge_Opener Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 How have people been getting on using him? Love the model but haven't found a way to work him into any lists that I want to play. How have people found him? Just so there's no confusions I'm on about the Destruction Herald from Malign Portents....not an n64 reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaris Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Outside of Malign Portens, he's pretty crappy. Due to the mechanics of Malign Portents, he's excellent in those types of games (all of the heralds are). I think these characters are intended specifically for Malign Portents, and need to be interpreted in that context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of how I was reading it, his spell is also uninspiring but at 80 points can't go too far wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grendel Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Not bad as a second shaman, more durable and good for casting arcane shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albin100 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I will use him as a second shaman in my Ironjawz army and later I might use him as a general for a moonclan grots army. But I've not looked at the MC general alternatives yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlasticCraic Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I found him very useful in a tricked-out 1000 points list. He's surprisingly durable. At 2000 points I think he'd be a pretty strong source of Mystic Shield. I wouldn't completely rule out dropping the Weirdnob Shaman for him, unless you like using the Shaman's warscroll spells (I don't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NazbitWeirdstabba Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I really like him in my moonclan army, especially using the malign portents rule. Even in normal games his mushroom eating ability has won me some pretty clutch moments, rerolling failed dispels, casting mystic shield and arcane bolt at the same time etc. Haven’t got any use out of his spore spell yet, though (he’s durable, but not that durable!).

Soulsmith Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 To me, he is 80 points for a semi durable bubble wizard, who can in a pinch be brilliant with the mushrooms. Better than our other casters, unless you build a list to benefit the weirdnob (because 10 to cast is stupid). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broche Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 i think he is a good general for Bonesplitterz. run/retreat and charge is a good ability. Can work well with Boarboys maniak with hand of gork, or big stabbas. i didn't try it yet but it's in my future plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
