Gwendar's BatReps

Thanks.... i love reading these batreps. Happy to hear that cogs works well for popping units up 9" away and still making the charge. Definitely something i'll be stealing

Yeah, it's pretty great but it really is reliant on the Cogs going off so the Monks get +3 to their charge in total; rolling a 6 is far easier to do than hoping for that 8 they would get without it.

It's versatile enough, especially with my changes to it. Could always start with the Monks on the table, give them both DDF from the Warbringer and Grinder the Clanrats to take objectives later on, but in this scenario without DF\DDF I exclusively keep them underground.

But with cogs being cast in the hero phase, i guess there's no need to bring up the monks until ready? Maybe throw in a Deceiver or a Warpgnaw to get up front and assist with a re-roll charge if necessary?

Correct. If my opponent doesn't leave me anywhere to bring them in then they can stay off.. I generally keep the Bombardier pretty far back to make sure nothing short of Kroak is in range to dispell it. 

Like I said, in my altered list I plan to run a Warbringer who should be able to run up and at least reach one of the units to support them if needed.. all depends on the battleplan, opposing army and deployment which is why this being so adaptable with it's 4 null deploys works out reasonably well. Should I get the turn priority then he can try to get off DDF and hopefully get it onto both units, but the strategy isn't reliant on it.
