Theduke Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Im trying to find a monster to include in my army and im struggling to choose... Im leaning towards a Colossal Squig just because I love the model. Anyone have any experience with any other monsters that they would recommend?

meet.the.doctor Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I am testing Troll Hag now. She's a monster/hero/wizard so quite flexible. Has 16 wounds and regenerates d6 every turn. Unbound spells may harm the caster and opponents in combat substract -1 from their hit rolls. In most games I used her I was really satisfied how she performed.

Soulsmith Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 There is plenty of choice! Do you have a theme you are basing around or are you wanting more competitive choices? Greenskins only or Ogor as well? So much to choose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 I really dont have a particular theme I want to stick with but I dont want to have any Ogor in my army. Ive got a separate Ogor army that I dont want to mix with this one. The Troll Hag is intriguing because I do have a unit of fellwater trogoths in my list. She could also do some decent damage and looks quite resilient. There are just too many choices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Well I personally am a big fan of the Arachnarok, just for aesthetics. There's always the new mawkrusha, unless you want a pure monster not a ridden one. You can probably pick up a giant for relatively cheap too.

cb_rex Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 If it's a Destruction monster you're after but don't want Ogors you could simply model a Stonehorn/Thundertusk with an Orruk crew, build a bit of a wooden howadah for them to stand on, this would be very cool. The Rouge Idol is another great choice and as you've mentioned the Troll Hag is a super sexy model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobgoblinclub Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 @Painted by G has been very impressed by the surviveability of his troll hag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rothrich Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I am in the same boat. Rogue Idol was on top of my list but they don't make it anymore. Colossal squig was sort of my second choice. I only have the start collecting box and I am really not sure where to expand beyond another box of boys. I was thinking about combining them with spiderfang grots because that giant spider is awesome but has no synergy whatsoever with what I have...

Giants are awesome, but I can see how they wouldn't appeal to everyone! There's just something so satisfying seeing a big hulking stupid monster trudging up the field, especially when it could fall and take out some friendly stuff! Arachnarok gets my vote, its long been my favourite model from the range. Its still an awesome centrepiece for an army and devastates without needing any synergy.

Soulsmith Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Arachnarok only has synergy when given the shrine. Give it the webflinger instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some pink insulation foam I was going to convert one from. Could be a great, fun project that is friendly to someone new to converting.

Rothrich Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I did try to sculpt one but it just isn't up to the quality that I demand in my minis. I even have a mold to make stones with. It just doesn't look good enough. I wound up buying a spider of eBay for 47$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painted by G Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Yeah the Troll Hag is amazing, healing D6 wound a turn makes her very difficult to kill. She's not very fighty in combat but her 5 Vomits will do amazing damage to pretty much anything. Plus the model is amazing, can easily run her as a Giant too if you're shot on Pools.

Jimbo Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 If you want to have something unusual in a destruction army, go for the merwyrm. Not the best monster but an awesome model. It heals d3 wounds if it bites anything and has a -1 to hit it (which is epic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMHoward Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I'm deliberating between the Basilisk or the Merwyrm as I like the mortal wound output, but given the huge amount of Mortal Wound on 6+ shenanigans going on at the moment, a -1 to hit debuff could be incredibly useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossMHoward Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Cheers @Nico! Reason I was deliberating though Is because I'm leaning toward the Aleguzzlers formation with a Troll Hag and some Troggoths to make it a low model count army (for quick play and easy painting) but under that, I'd have very little access to mortal wounds. The Merwyrm is still a whole lot tastier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Dragon Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Yeah I like most of the Merwyrm stats, but movement 7" just makes me cautious. You need to be able to move your monsters around quickly to get the best out of them. Another reason to LOVE Stonehorns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrstimpson38 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I'm surprised no one has mentioned Mangler Squigs! They put out some serious hurt, are great models, and can have a massive movement range. I love them so much.

mrstimpson38 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Very true. But that movement keeps you pretty safe, and his damage is top tier! It's worth considering based on your army composition. Sent from my Z958 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dez Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 What about the Squig Gobba? I took a look at it...It's an awesome model but man does it's Warscroll look bad. Am I missing a trick with that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
