Finally got a game in with my ladz. I fought FEC and got a minor win (came down to who scored more battle tactics tie beaker) very close game of 2 honest melee factions. My take aways: Savage orks are so pillow fisted. You pretty much hope to just roll 6's for MW but my blob of 20 spent all game trying to chew through 3 horrors, 10 ghouls and a varghulf. This has been a theme throughout all my games plus they are so dang slow they often get beaten to the objective first. We play with the full 8 pieces of terrain and have found their slow movement a major detriment trying to move around terrain. First game with Big stabbas and I really liked them. They made great speedbumps and screens for my characters while still being able to do some damage. What a difference it was to actually have some rend on my attacks! Lazer eyes continues to be crazy good lolol. One without the 4+ ward nuked 18 wounds off a mega gargant before blowing his brains out and the 4+ ward guy killed a zombie dragon and finished off the mega gargant next turn after being poked by some boars and the first prophet. My opponent immediately went online to look up his warscroll after doing it lololololol The Waaaggh is very helpful in blunting alpha strikes. I've had a lot of success popping the Waaagh early so I can survive and i counter punch. Really liking that ability. I really like the Rogue Idol but he feels a tad too expensive and it doesn't seem hard for my opponents to kill him easily in 1 round. A small points reduction would be really welcomed for him as I love the model/rules and fluff. Here's hoping the GHB brings us more buffs so we can collect more bones!!!

How are people finding Get dem Bones! as a grand strategy? Not sure I'm quite sold on it.

Glad to hear that Kragnos has been good. I'm getting ready to try him out with my army. I've been grinding away with my Boyz practicing all through 3rd and am excited to add him into the army. I don't like the model though so I' trying to come up with a conversion.

I've gotten a few games in now with the new book. I've lost all but one game so far. However, I've been playing competitive players with competitive lists and I'm very new to 3.0 (all these games are my only 3.0 games lol). Despite losing so much I feel the army is better then what I initially thought. Is it S tier? Heck no, but I feel like it's a solid C+/B-. It feels quite playable and I think as I get more practice and experience I'll start to do better.

Always happy to see someone rocking double idols. 😁

Got my second game in today with my Bonesplitterz against Lumineth. We were both new to 3.0 so we were learning the rules as we went and kept things causal. Game went neck and neck with scoring up until turn 3 where I managed to kill every unit but Teclis and still had a good number of units left and my opponent conceded. Some highlights were a Idol charging a Loreseeker leaving him on 1 would which would cost me the objective but I finished him off with the end of combat phase MW on a 4+. I also used the Tikki mask to nuke a fox off the table in one round. First roll was a 1 and then I rolled 4 MW's to myself (saved half) and then after that I just kept rolling 3+ like a boss lol. I was able to do a cheeky pile in move on his spears to draw in his unit of 20 archers so I could charge them next turn with a Idol and not worry about unleash hell or redeploy. It was a really fun game and my opponent was a super awesome guy. I'm feeling a tad bit more hopeful about the army.

As per the new FAQ the Rogue Idol is still legal and has been bumped to 430 and picked up the Kruelboyz and Totem keywords. I was worried they would become legends as I have 2 of them! Rocks are back on the menu boyz!

If I take the Ravagers Damned Legion can I mix and match command traits from the Battletome and the core book for all my heroes?

I'm looking to go Warclans with Bonesplitterz and Kruleboyz mix.

I'd love to see more rule differances between Morboyz/Savage Orks and Savage Boarboyz/Manaik Boarboyz. The army feels very "samey" if that makes sense. Some new units filling new roles like monsters or warmachines would help to mix thinks up. I still love my naked Savages and am looking forward to playing them in 3.0. 😁

Would you mind sharing your list with 20 Knights and the 6varanguard? I really want to see a armored list do well as they are my favorite models.

I moved at the end of summer and changed jobs so there was a big pause on things but I'm back at it. I'm still slowly chipping away at my army and have recently finished 20 Moarboyz, 6 Big Stabbas and a converted Wardokk. I'm currently chewing through another 30 savage ork mob. Hoping to have a nice full sized fully painted army by the summer. 😄

Another vote for Frost Sabers. I have a 48 kitty cat list I'm dieing to make but there is no way in heck I'm buying 48 finecast Frost Sabers . I know I can proxy (wolves, pigs) but that ruins the theme which is CATS! I bet with the Underworlds warband we will get plastic cats in the next 2 years as a CAD file exists.

I was trying to figure out a Big Rukk list and this was my Stab (Stab, Stab!) at it. Leaders Wardokk (80) Wardokk (80) Wardokk (80) Wardokk (80) Wurrgog Prophet (160) Savage Big Boss (90) Battleline 10 x Savage Orruk Morboys (120) 10 x Savage Orruk Morboys (120) 10 x Savage Orruk Morboys (120) 10 x Savage Orruk Morboys (120) 10 x Savage Orruks (120) (can be swapped out for 5 boars if needed/wanted) - Chompas 30 x Savage Orruks (300) - Chompas Battalions Big Rukk (80) Kop Rukk (140) Kop Rukk (140) Brutal Rukk (140) Total: 1970 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 4 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 193

On Warscroll builder it is giving me the option to add a ravagers command trait to Archaon. Clearly this is a mistake? The ravagers rules just say any Ravagers Hero can take one. While Archaon is technically a Ravagers Hero in that Dammed Legion there has to be rules else where stating that named characters can't take CT's? Unless the Ravagers rules get around that because every hero can take one instead of just the general. *EDIT* Looked it up and the specifically mentions Archaon in the example as not being allowed CT. Boooo! But also understandable haha😆
