Chris Tomlin Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Morning guys, Something a bit different from me today. On June 10th, I will be taking part in the worldwide narrative* campaign event; Coalescence! If you don't know about this super exciting event, take a look here; I am lucky enough to be playing in @Mitzy's and @Devilreefman's event at Warhammer World, so really looking forward to that! I do believe they have a couple of spaces left if you want to contact them and get involved. Now the obvious choice for this event is my Ironjawz, Da Black Sunz. They fit the narrative setting perfectly, being an army of great renown led by probably definitely the most well known character outside of GW lore; the mighty Megaboss Krunk. With this in mind I will be taking them to RAW17 as I was lucky enough to get a ticket. Initially I was set on bringing them to this event as well, also with it being Warhammer World it's nice to be able to show off your best work, with I think my Ironjawz are. However, that said, I have started considering rolling out something different for a bit of fun. Some of you may know that I recently bought back an old WFB Ogre Kingdoms army that I speed painted quite a few years back. I got it at a great price and thought with a bit of rebasing it'd be great for use in AoS and would give me some options alongside the Ironjawz for mixed Destruction. The thing is, this army was speed painted to the max. It looks fine, but it's by no means great. When rebasing, I will replicate the basing on the Ironjawz, however they still don't tie in very well due to the colours used. My long term plan with to tart the Ogors a bit so that the colour schemes fits in with the Ironjawz. I don't intend to upscale the painting level, but just want them to look cohesive. So my current thoughts are that I could give them a run out in the their current state and maybe write it into a narrative that they eventually meet (and get beaten by) Krunk and his boyz, subsequently joining Da Black Sunz, cue change of colour scheme. That works right? For Coalescence, I need a 1,500 point list that also breaks down into 1,000 and 500 point chunks. These are roughly the models I have; Tyrant Diesel (this badboy will have to be included, already rebased) Frostlord on Stonehorn (already rebased) Converted Brusier BSB 2 Butchers Firebelly Loads of Ogors (I've already rebased 9 of these) 8-10 Ironguts 4 Mournfang (Rebased) 5 Leadbelchers 4 Maneaters Gorger I think that's about it. I have a lot on my plate hobbywise at the moment so I whilst I do want to rebase the lot, trying to utilise stuff I've also used to lessen my workload seems preferable tbh. I quite fancy a "Matt Clarke" (@Gmac2610) army, that is, one of each unit. I'll have a little play on scrollbuilder shortly. I've struck out the Frostlord for obvious reasons. What do people think of this? Good idea? Or should I just use the Ironjawz for another excuse to expand the legend of Krunk and showcase my models at Warhammer World? The latter would also save some hobby hours. Let me know what you think! Chris *Thanks to my recent podcast with @Thornshield, I now know what this means!

Tom Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 lol Krunk to afraid to turn up An face ironfist facesmasher! Sending his pet oggors instead!? My boyz look forward to a good scrap with the oggors at Warhammer world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalenchar Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Wouldn't a grand narrative event like this be a great place to cement Megaboss Krunk's name in the annals of AoS history? On the other hand, forging a narrative to incorporate the Ogors into da Black Sunz seems cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. I guess I just don't consider it necessary, his name is already cemented haha! That's not to say I won't take the Ironjawz. I do agreed its a solid option. 38 minutes ago, Tom said: lol Krunk to afraid to turn up An face ironfist facesmasher! Sending his pet oggors instead!?

They are really not very nice though haha! I speed painted them back in 7th edition (and added the Stonehorn + Mournfang on commission when I sold the army). That said, the ones I've rebased look decent enough though I guess. I'll let you guys be the judges... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, I think using the Ogors for Coalescence would be cool. Save Krunk and da boyz for the true narrative event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I'm quite excited about those lists above, they look really fun I think. Sadly, no photos yet. I spent all my spare time yesterday recording and subsequently editing tonight's podcast...it's a bit of a treat as me and @bottle cover the new Skirmish book!!

Chris Tomlin Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Morning, So I'm pretty sure I am going to go ahead with the above lists...now just to read what half the stuff does! Hoping to squeeze in a cheeky game tomorrow after my campaign game with @ChippyRick (using Ironjawz). I've got everything I need on the round bases now and just need to sand and paint them etc. Will probably do photos after that I guess. Still feels a little wrong not taking Krunk and co I gotta say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite like the idea that Krunk has convinced some slightly gullible Ogors to do some vanguard work whilst he and da boyz take a breather...

Chris Tomlin Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 @Fungrim - Ha! That works. Perhaps Krunk has convinced Diesel that the Keystone Shards will allow him access to various fast food outlets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
