Evillincoln547 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 If I wanted to buy this army all at once what boxes and how many of each would be needed? I’m looking for a mix of everything. I already have a wurgog prophet but that’s it. I really like the boar models as well, what’s the better unit choice for them? I like the maniacs on paper better but the difference seems minimal. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he's got extra damage from the Warchanter, you can get it in the Hero phase pile in as well as the Combat phase. Or if you use it to move him instead, and you have cast Breath of Gork, he's on a 20" flying move...twice. So that's a 40" total flying move in one turn Even the Orruk keyword plays its part, because he gets the 6++ aftersave and +1" to charge. He really is awesome in Big Waaagh. I am looking at him from just a Bonesplitters option and it is pretty insane An extra 5 inch movement at the start of the game (8 if you have the great hunter trait), plus either a 20 to 30 inch flying move thanks to breath of Gork. He can have a 2+ rerollable save thanks to the kunning beast spirits, mystic shield and a wardokk dance, plus a 5+ to ignore damage. With brutal beast spirits he hits on 2+. If you can squeeze an allied warchanter in there his stomps do insane damage. Then, each wardokk can attempt to heal him 1d3 next hero phase. That is one heck of a distraction carnifex to throw at the enemy turn 1. Edited November 15, 2019 by bonzai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the maniacs on paper better but the difference seems minimal. Thanks! You will want 3-4 boxes of Savage Orruks to start. From those boxes you can convert and build Wardokks, a Warboss and even Maniak Weirdnob if you have a mount for him. It also gets you access to the bread and butter of the army, Orruks and Arrowboyz. Not every army will use Big Stabbas but they are still really good. From 4 boxes you can get 60+ battleline, 2-4 heroes and some Big stabbas. Boars are good value for their price. You typically will be running them in units of 10 so one box is all you need for a whole unit. Maniaks make great flankers and line breakers. Regular Boarboys can do some damage on the charge but are probably used more as mobile anvils, objective grabbers. The thing is, the Maniaks have better bravery. I use Maniaks and they do their job well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldshrimpeyes Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Does anyone have any pointers on converting up Maniak Weirdnobs and or Wardoks? Not keen on the official models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlasticCraic Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I've bought this guy and he's awesome. Fits the scale nicely, and has a dual purpose. He's pictured doing his wardance (= Wardokk), but he could just as easily sit on the back of a boar and be a Weirdnob (which is what I did): https://mierce-miniatures.com/index.php?act=pro&pre=mrm_blg_bnl_cha_050_000 I didn't buy this guy but he also looks OK, a bit less cartoonish than the standard Wardokk: https://mierce-miniatures.com/index.php?act=pro&pre=mrm_blg_bnl_cha_011_000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbossironteef Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I made one from an Orruk, customized a Boarboy Totem, used a squiq from a 40k Ork boss pole ($2 on eBay) and then put him on a OOP Coldone. I am working on some conversions for my Big Waggh army where the Gore Gruntas are "Dino-boyz," so it will fit in with my army. I hate Gore Grunta models so much. Those giant pig faces are so stupid IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot cleaner and easier to read. Also double battalion is usually not a good idea as you sink too many points in just rules and not bodies. Kunnin isnt really good anymore with arrowboys let alone two units of them.

Warbossironteef Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Kop Rukk requires 2xWardokks. Kunnin Rukk is still awesome. It's totally viable and you should try it out. Building 30x40 Arrowboys isn't a bad way to start. You will most likely include them in most of you lists. Like a lot of pure BS lists, you will struggle a bit with high armored units. Drakkfoot will help with the after saves but you still lack rend/mortals. That's why I've been leaning on my Rogue Idol more and also looking to expand into Big Waaggh. What you have isn't a bad start. 2x boxes of boys can get you 30x Arrowboys, 4x Big Stabbas and 2x Converted Wardokks (720 points!) I even converted a Maniak Weirdnob from the boys, you just need a mount for him. From there you can buy a box of Boars and a Wurgog and you have a really solid start to a Pure BS list or even Big Waggh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Yeah rend is always an issue. Rogue Idol, Big Stabbas, and Ice Bone trait is all there is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I can’t help but feel an awful lot of BS builds are trending towards double battalion. I also like a Kopp and Kunnin combo 3 wardok maniac weirdnob boss 2x20 arrer 20/10/10/10 Mor 6 big stabbas Kopp & Kunnin an alternative is drop the maniac and stabbas for a rogue idol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldshrimpeyes Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Forgive the noob question but: Azyr lists big stabbas as a unit size of 2. Just to be absolutely clear, that means 2 bases, ie: 4 actual orcs carrying 2 stabbas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiche Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Hey all, I was just getting into Bonesplitterz, looking to play them mostly competitive. Having some troubles on list building. Had a few questions and was also looking for some list advice. Questions Kop Rukk - Does this give them an additional spell cast, meaning they can cast their 1 spell, and also Fist of Gork, or does this mean they just get the option to use Fist of Gork instead of their regular spell? Mystic Waagh Paint - This artifact goes off on the start of the hero phase. Does it mean you can double cast any spell your army knows or just the spell of the wizard it's equipped to? I was thinking of a list focused around trying to enhance my casting to best get off Fist of Gork on a 10+ as well as buffing up the Rogue Idol, while running Kunnin Ruk. Do you feel I would benefit more from Icebone (Since I can still take the +1 Cast Command Trait) or Big Waagh? The list I was thinking would looking something like this.... Wurrgog Prophet - Morks Boney Bitz, Master of the Weird - Breath of Gorkamorka, Brutal Beast Spirits Maniak Weirdnob - Gorkamorka's Warcry Wardokk - Kunnin' Beast Spirits Wardokk - Brutal Beast Spirits Savage Big Boss - Kattanak Pelt Kunnin' Rukk 20x Savage Arrow Boyz 20x Savage Orruks - Chompas 20x Savage Orruks - Chompas 4x Big Stabbas Rogue Idol How do you feel about that list? Do you think it would benefit more from Big Waagh or Icebone? I chose the Chompas since it's only a unit of 20, not sure if I need more bodies or not. I know rend is an issue, so is it worth dropping the Big Stabbas and taking an Orruks out of the battalion, getting more drops to add in unit of 30 and something else?

broche Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 So played a game yesterday against cities (Greywater heavy shooting) on Better part of Valour. I told him Iwould be using drakfoot, so he took Eternal guard over Phoenix guard to improve his matchup. Played this list (see below). Basically I took first turn and charged with Boar and Stabbas. I missed all my cast except Breath of Gorkamorka. I killed some stuff en most of his shooting was engage, his turn he gun most of Stabbas and Boar, but could not reclaim his lost objective and that was game from there. I concluded that Bonesplitterz has an almost auto win matchup against cities. What is you're experience so far against other matchup? I think Fyreslayer is now okay thanks to Drakfoot, but bonereaper seem pretty bad on paper. What about Slaanesh? Ironjawz is a bad matchup as well, so I figure out what place they will take in the meta.

Warbossironteef Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Nice airbrush work. Just a thought, but I would suggest gloss coating them and putting a glaze on them. It will smooth out and tone done the "airbrushed" looked and provide some depth. I use a simple oil wash from cheap oil paint and it's super easy to clean up your mistakes with some spirits. Nice work though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
