Mazgruk Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 So i'm looking to finish a 2000pts pure beastclaw list for an upcoming tournament next year. I don't want any oruks or grots of any kind, I know it's going to be difficult holding objectives but I like the look of it. Beside, I've enough Orks for 40k that I don't want to paint any more greenskin for the time being. So I'm trying to build the best list I can with the limitation I've given myself. I'm down to two lists and I'd like your inputs. Brutal but kunnin' 2000/2000 LeadersHuskard on Thundertusk - General- Artefact: The Pelt of Charngar Huskard on Thundertusk - Artefact: The Pelt of Charngar UnitsMournfang Pack x 4Mournfang Pack x 4 Mournfang Pack x 2 BehemothsThundertusk Beastriders -or- Kunnin' but brutal 1980/2000 LeadersHuskard on Thundertusk- General- Artefact: The Pelt of Charngar Icebrow Hunter- Artefact: The Pelt of Charngar UnitsMournfang Pack x 4 Mournfang Pack x 4 Frost Sabres x 4Frost Sabres x 4 Frost Sabres x 2BehemothsThundertusk BeastridersBattalionsSkal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander732 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I have no experience with Beastclaw Riders but in List 1 you can have only one Artefact, because you have no additional Battalion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donal Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 For second list i would make a unit of MF 2 units of 2 and upgrade the thundertusk to huskard. With the banners it means you dont need to worry about battleshock for those two units. Alternatively make the hunter the general. Which means that when he pops up he is as close to guaranteed to charge as he can be. It also means you can keep the MF 2 units of 4 and upgrade the thundertusk to huskard. keep the pelt on the hunter. Basically for the 2nd list take 2 huskards not sure it will win you many friends!

kozokus Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I am more on the side of thoses who don't like sabertusks and thinks that they compare poorly with yeetees. 4 saber = 3yeetees for the points. Too bad, 4 sabers =2 yeetees in terms of firepower and the same goes for the resilience. Plus, sabers don't have -1 to be hit and are more subject to battleshock. The only thing they do not have is +3 to charge (yeepee) but even there, yeetees stomp them with the 6"range for engagement, no need to charge, babe. They also can be part of a Skal which allow them to teleport. But you must have a good reason, and even a very good reason to pay that much to have that benefit.. somethink to kill in particular. Not something i would bring in tournament, particulary in MSU. The same goes for the hunter, he is slow, hit like 4 liberators but costs like 8 and has some shooting weapons with short range. However he is born with his tellyporta thing and is a hero too which is something more useful in some GHB scenarios like3placesofpowa. I wound throw away the tigers, and add more big things.

It never crossed my mind that if I put the Hunter as my general, the Frost Sabres would become battleline which mean that I'm not stuck with the Thunderstuck Beastriders as my 3rd battleline :-D Maybe I'll split the Frost Sabres in 5 unit of 2 as well. So it would look more like this: LeadersIcebrow Hunter- General- Artefact: The Pelt of Charngar Huskard on Thundertusk- Artefact: The Pelt of Charngar Huskard on ThundertuskUnitsMournfang Pack x 4Mournfang Pack x 4Frost Sabres x 4Frost Sabres x 4Frost Sabres x 2BattalionsSkalTotal: 2000/2000 29 minutes ago, Donal said: not sure it will win you many friends! Well i'm sure It will be devastating against some army and I'm sure i'll lose to some others. And I'm on the light side for scenario with objectives. We'll see :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've, actually, never tried the Skal battalion yet since I don't have the minis (waiting for Xmas) But I like the idea of what it does. I'll have to play with it a few time before I can decide if it's worth the cost/power ratio. I'll have to check what the scenarios will be at the tournament too.

Highlander732 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 For Jorlbad you should have a Stonehorn Beastrider original not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also guys comment above is correct, you'd be 40 points over for that formation as you need a storn horn beastrider to complete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
