BiggusDickus Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hi, i'm new here. I just wanted to post this list to hear some opinions on an alternative strategy to the infamous Kunnin Rukk. Basically what i'm trying to do is stack buffs on my melee units by casting and/or with Wardokks and use Boarboys Maniakz that end up piling up and attacking about 4 times a turn (maybe more if i missed something) to wreck havoc among the enemies. I'm not sure if the list is tanky enough though as the model count seems to be pretty low for a bonesplitterz army. What do you think? ALLEGIANCE: Destruction LEADERS Wurrgog Prophet (140) - General - Command Trait : Ravager - Artefact : Talisman of Protection Wardokk (80) - Artefact : Savage Trophy Wardokk (80) Wardokk (80) Maniak Weirdnob (100) - Artefact : Savage Trophy Maniak Weirdnob (100) UNITS 20 x Savage Orruk Morboys (240) 20 x Savage Orruk Morboys (240) 10 x Savage Boarboy Maniaks (320) - Bonesplitterz Battleline 10 x Savage Boarboy Maniaks (320) - Bonesplitterz Battleline 10 x Savage Orruks (100) - Battleline BATTALIONS Drakkfoot Warclan (60) Kop Rukk (100) Snaga Rukk (40) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warhead01 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Looks interesting, I have to give it a deeper read before I can give any feedback. Interesting idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Could you jot down your strategy to see where all that is coming from? I want to try and evaluate how you might make it stronger or protect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to try and evaluate how you might make it stronger or protect it. I want to create a really hard hitting melee unit so: -10 Boarboys Maniakz can pile in and attack 2 times (during the combat phase and at the end of it) -The Prophet's command ability gives them another pile in move and attack during the hero phase -The Drakkfoot Clan lets one of my Weirdnobs cast Blood Waaaagh! on them giving them another pile in move and attack during the hero phase -The other Weirdnoob doesn't just sit around, he can cast Bone Spirits to make them reroll 1s to hit (and since a double on a casting roll is a success thanks to Drakkfoot Clan there's more of a chance of rerolling all to hit rolls) -One of the Wardokks or the Prophet can also cast Brutal Beast Spirits to add 1 to their to hit rolls -Thanks to the Destruction alliance ability and the general's trait they can also move 1D6+2" during the hero phase -After this movement they can attempt to charge thanks to Snaga Rukk -Other spells like Kunning Beast Spirits, Mystic Shield or the Wardokk dance can give them somewhat of a protection -There are also some backup buffable units in case the Boarboys fail (2x20 Moarboys) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warhead01 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 My first thoughts were that you could drop 20 Morboys and a Wardokk for 10 more Maniaks but I haven't looked at the battalion/warclan requirements yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I was thinking initially that the weakness to this would really be that you're putting all your peas into one pod, but that isn't the case. Though the intention is to buff up those boar Boyz, you still have quite a number of other units around. And even if they die, you could just buff another unit. That being said I think the downside to this list is the leadership. If someone manages to snipe your prophet and wardokk's then you really just have a bunch of floppy infantry. Are you able to make any of those savage lads into arrow Boyz as a distraction? I feel as though if someone has the threat of range against them, they'll focus less on your heroes.

BiggusDickus Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 I could drop the Morboys units to 2x10 and put in 20 arrowboys but i don't think they can pull their weight with that 5+ to hit. The hero-sniping problem is my biggest fear in this list and i can't see a way out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossyan Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I don't believe you can use the Destruction Allegiance Ability and have access to the Bonesplitter Spell Lore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i can't cast some of the buffs but the base of the combo still works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meet.the.doctor Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 IMO if you want to play pure Bonesplitterz w. Destruction Allegiance and want to keep the look of only bonesplitterz you can make/convert one of your boarboyz to Warboss with banner and make it your general. You will play the regular Orruk Warboss warscroll with the fluffy look of your savage and you will get all the bonuses those guys miss. Banner gives all orruks re-rolls on wounds -1s. General abillity Waagh! Gives you +1 extra melee for every attack so one for chompas and one for tusks. That makes 60 attacks for the boyz. I was using this combo (though I used regular Warboss on boar) and it is mostly effective.And put all the bonuses on the Boarboyz - mystic shield, bellowing tyrant (if you have snaga rukk you can loose that 2" additional move from ravager), Maniak Weirdnob's spell and you are ready to go.Ahh and I forgot - other unit of Maniaks will have all the same bonuses from the Warboss (re-roll wounds, 60 attacks) but without mystic shield and bellowing tyrant. 120 attacks is like 40 arrer boyz.Sacrifice the Wurggog and replace him with Warboss!But if you insist on keeping pure Bonesplitterz without ArrerBoyz I admire that!
