Keeping the enemy slowed down with the Khorne DP and Hailstorm on the Shaggoths helps a bit to try and keep the Tzaangors near the 5 casters to try to kill an extra unit while buffing the Shaggoth in combat. Its honestly very hard to do and you need some good matchups/missions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupercal Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Has anyone tried any alternate Dragon Ogre models, such as the ones from Duncan Shadow sold on Etsy? I dislike the GW models visually, the front legs on a couple of the models straight out from their bodies with joints locked just looks unnatural to me. Some of the alternate sculpts appear to vary in height so I'm curious how they scale compared to the GW figs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I make a Tzeentch style army, My Dragon Ogres are as follows, My Shaggoth is a centaur out of the Lord Aquinor and the Silver Tower Ogroid, they have the same "chassis" so if fits more or less. But I have not tried them at a Tournament so don't know how would the TO look at them. 6 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main thing the Ghorgon brings to the table is Monstrous rampage. The Ghorgon hits on 3s (or can be 2s). You can suffer some bad dice dice spiking with Bullgors. I also think a Ghorgon and a Doombull paired up together is a good combo compared to 3 bullgors. Just me, maybe different playstyle. I also historically have had good success pairing a Doombull and Ghorgon in 8th, AoS 1, 2. maybe 3? I want to try it.

I use old metal bottom DOs and metal River Troll tops. it's a painful conversion so I onl have 6 done up. Plus these days finding those two models is hard. In older days the models were bad, not good in either army and you could pick them up cheap (as in $5 a model). Then AoS made anything old on eBay listed at stupid insane prices. I recall Hastings on Warseer saying GW held back those models and he knew people would be disappointed when they came out. They are just,.. not good.

Add in the lower rend and its much easier for you opponent to negate the Ghorgon's damage over the Bullgors. That's not to say I don't like the Ghorgon. Its just if you are going for raw damage, the Bullgors are your better bet. The Ghorgon, in my opinion, works better when you take its tech in mind. Speaking of Ghorgon, I just finished my second one. Cow goes "MMMMMMurder" Edited October 13, 2021 by Chaos Shepard 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Care to tell me what was the upper part from?:) Well I needed something slim that would match well with the Gryph-charger's frame. I tried a few things at first, gors where to small bullgors to bulky. I then held up one of my chaos spawn that I converted from a Vargheists/Crypt Horors and it really felt like the perfect fit, so that is what I went with. There is also a fair amount of greenstuff involved such as the sculpted on breast plates. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Shepard Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I have some new models to share. First up is my Beastlord with Mutating Gnarl Blade. Next is this Chaos Spawn that I built a while ago and has just been siting on my desk for ever. And last isn't an actual unit per se. Its a Anvil of Apotheosis creations, a Herdstone Priestess if you will. 8 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true to some degree also but a 4+ and 3+ to hit is significant enough I feel. Paying for rend in a save stacking meta is tricky. Meh, maybe it's just my games.

Paying for rend in a save stacking meta is tricky. Meh, maybe it's just my games. Having played a few more game I just wanted to say that I do think the Ghorgon is probably better over all. Being a monster, having monstrous actions, counting as 5 models on an objective, having a 2 inch reach, and if you inlcude Ravenous Bloodgreed and Swallow Whole, the Ghorgon could match the damage the Bullgors offer. I do feel both of these units need All Out Attack to be reliably effective. In this way the Bullgors are a lot more independent. Both units should be screened for their protection but I feel like I can be a little more free with the Bullgors just becasue they are less of an investment. Still I will say that I think Ghorgons are probably the better investment over all. I mean I just played a small team tournament where I took 2 Ghorgon and took second place. I would share the photos but they are really potato cam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems like a really good thing to highlight right now for people looking to play with Warherd. Bullgors being a unit, Ghorgons being good to pair up with a Doombull. Think of them as two different purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Shepard Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 One more thing to keep in mind when it comes to Bullgors is that it isn't a bad idea to keep some on hand for summoning. Charging out of summoning is always a gamble but an 8 is a hell of a lot easier to get than a 9. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone notice the meme on twitter (not on FB assuming it's there too) about one of the rumour drops looking like tyranid but also really looking like the t-rex weak arm on the Jabber? Started a bit of chatter perhaps our update isn't too far away with a new range (granted rumours used to be 3-6 months, but lately i think there are some a few years behind).

Maddpainting Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Bullgors has +1" to charge and has a leader, so you can +1" with a re-roll. They are a good summoning late game unit to knock a small unit off an objective if you have no other options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
