Kimbo Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Hi Everyone, i just got myself some Gutbusters and really want to make competitive list (That, with a good general...could perform at tournaments). Im really looking at getting into the tournament scene of warhammer and would like to use my new Gutbusters as a start.LeadersButcher (140)Tyrant (160)UnitsOgors x 6 (240)- BattlelineOgors x 6 (240)- BattlelineOgors x 3 (120)- BattlelineLeadbelchers x 3 (160)- Gutbusters BattlelineIronguts x 6 (440)Ironguts x 6 (440)BattalionsGutbuster Wartribe (60) (formation needs 1x butcher, 1x Tyrant, 3x ogors 1x ledbelchers) it seems like a really good formation, your opinion?Total: 2000/2000 - Is this on the right path? - What would you change to make it more effective? - Anyone using Gutbusters that has any experience on how they performe in age of sigmar? Thanks in advance, Kimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohojoe Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Not bad! I am not keen on iron guts personally as they are so expensive. For instance you have nearly half your points spent into 12 of them. Gnoblars are a great cheap choice. Take 40 of them, use the tyrants command ability to deal 3 wounds to them and then they don't have to take battleshock tests for the rest of the game. I'm a big fan personally of going mixed destruction and taking a big centre piece model. The forge world range has some really good choices for us, the troll hag and dread maw especially. My list is fairly similar but I'm using two giants as distractions from my units. I also am taking 9 leadbelchers and 18 bulls as you need numbers for a lot of scenarios. I'm still tempted to pick up gnoblars. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysandestolpe Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 yeah, @Mohojoe and I and some other dudes just went over a discussion about gnoblars. I think the outcome of having 40 gnoblars "Bullied" in first round to ignore battleshock was considered very nice. Secondly, for a tournament you often need two scoring units (sometimes required to be battleline) to remain behind and hug objectives. Thus I propose: - Remove one unit of Ironguts. use 200 pts for 40 Gnoblars, 120 pts for 3 more bulls. place these new bulls and 3 from the other 6 squad and make a 12 unit bulls to advance with, then have two 3 man units to hug objectives with. its 12 wounds, they can survive as you'll throw a lot in you opponent's face. - remove the Battalion, take 40 of those + 120 points left over and make the Ledbelchers a 6 man units. The Battalion is good, just not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohojoe Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Not so much for dealing damage but 12 can hold an objective longer i assume? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysandestolpe Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Well, think about it this way: a 6 unit ogres are strong and carry 24 wounds. You may only select ONE unit per round to have Mystic shield. Most likely it will never be your Bulls anyways. splitting them up in two 6s isn't bad at all, it just gives you more units to move if you'd like. But If I saw 12 bulls, 6 Ironguts, and 6 Ledbelchers behind a wall of 40 gnoblars, I'd be shitting my pants too and completely neglect the 2x3 ogre units ACTUALLY scoring points in the missions. You want to stretch far and wide and make sure no one gets past you. If anybody wants to throw out the "what about flyers jumping over" argument. Fine, I'll take that argument. You get a 12 mabye 14" move. The wall would be at least 3-6" thick, he cannot start but 3" away from you and land 3" away from you. That means with most Monster flyers, he can barely make it over with such a large base and 'most' things on the other side is more nasty than Gnoblars. Secondly, If he does run, makes a 6. Great, he flies hella far. All your ogres have 6" move + D6 from Rampaging Destroyers + 2D6 charge. @Mohojoe 10+ ogres buffs you to re-roll ALL failed woundrolls on the charge. I cannot begin to argue for how much that is worth when you have that one damn charge and they are tired as hell just cuts armor or shields on your enemies (1's and 2's). Bulls, Ironguts, and Ledbelchers are all the same: the DMG 2 in combat is hella important and every successful wound-roll counts as double of many other things. Also, having the comband trait to give buff '+1 to hit' from your Butcher with Culdron on 3-4 roll makes that unit super ****** nasty. AND it is a battleline which may be required to score in some tournament settings. As you said, hard to move off an objective... 48 wounds.

Lysandestolpe Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 What @Mohojoe just said about the aleguzzler. Go for a 6 units ledbelchers if you wanna cheese the list. If you are OK taking a loss every once in a while (which I hope you do, it's age of sigmar after all), keep the aleguzzler because he is the coolest unit in the game.

Mohojoe Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 @thediceabide 's latest blog post is an awesome read for anyone looking in depth at units for their armies. I am currently considering dropping 3 bulls from my army to add in some gorgers as a deepstrike threat. Anyone played with any or had a go at kit bashing them?

Negative! It affects models with the GUTBUSTERS keyword, which Grots (old Gnoblars) do indeed have, so enjoy putting it on your blob of 60 Grots (Gutbuster, not Moonclan or Gitmob).

thediceabide Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Also interesting thing about mystic shield, it's +1 to your save rolls, not improving your save by 1. Important for Iron Fists which deal a mortal wound to my enemy when I roll a 6+ to save. Just as important though, Rend is -1/2/3 to the roll, not to your armor value.

Mohojoe Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Managed to get a few games in yesterday against a death player. I had mixed success with a 1000 point list, Tyrant (slicer/Pistols) (Talisman of protection) Gargant 6x Ogor bulls with slicers and fists 6x Ogor bulls with slicers and fists 3x Leadbelchers his list was something like Vamp lord 10x grave guard with mighty weapons 10x grave guard with mighty weapons 40x skeletons 20x crypt ghouls Matches went well, i won 1 and lost 2 but we did play summoning wrong with him being able to keep summoning each turn without needing points allocated for summons. His skeletons were insane at x40 pumpin out 3 attacks each, and he had a buff that added an attack to a unit with in 15" of his vamp lord. in one match he fielded 3x vargheists which melted to my leadbelchers. The big weakness I found I had was taking out his heroes. It wasnt super competitive anyway but I think we got a couple of the rules wrong as we went. I was really impressed with the tyrant and the bulls. The gargant was a bit hit and miss, but I had known it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
