Ragnar Alpaca Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 1 hour ago, Furuzzolo said: I think that could work, you are creating your own ambush mechanic! You are stuffing exactly 50% of your points in that, tho, so even a little positioning mistake on the pickaxe turn could cost you a lot. @Ragnar Alpaca already pointed out that warriors should bring 2h+shield. I want to add that 10 Irondrakes are very fragile, if i bring them i bring 20. At 1000 points they're not my shooting units of choice. The cannon is cool, if you're building a list for a tournament i would bring a 10man shield to prevent deepstrike, if you know your opponent dosn't have deepstrike your list could work (you don't want to keep your 30 warriors back fearing a deepstrike but still i'm thinking at a pickaxe list, and i suggest you bring one, where one of youre big units is already selected to teleport away from the bulk of the army) Don't be so negative, c'mon It's hard to "tier" Dispossessed, i think we can fare better then Fyreslayers and Kharadron Overlords, right now. I play in a small group but we have some battletome army (maggotkin, Ironjawz, LoN ), if you prepare well and keep your focus on objective games you can grb some victory. Learning when pickaxe and keep the strike for objective made my winrate grow up; always keep in mind your victory condition and the points output/turn. I always hope you can understand what I'm saying, my English must seem really terrible. I wasn’t trying to be negative. It was supposed to be humorous and helpful at the same time. As much as I love my Dispossessed, we’re not very good. As for fyreslayers I think they’re teir 3 and KO are teir 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know our issue is magic, mobility and lack of MW output, KO is that their entire playstyle got nerfed, whats the Fyreslayers problem ? Other then being a horde army priced like an elite army ?

Kramer Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) 2 hours ago, Jetengine said: Other then being a horde army priced like an elite army ? Haha that mainly in general I think factions that either lack a specific strength to double down on suffer. And factions that are reduced in effectiveness on that strength suffer even more. Fyreslayers with their survivable hordes, kahadron with their shooting (and movement from embarking especially in combination with the skyports) etc, are apparently very hard to balance. Just like we don’t really have a strength to double down. It makes things hard. Even stormcast that is supposed to be able to do more or less everything doubles down hard on one aspect to be super competitive.

Jetengine Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I can see that. I mean my two other factions have pretty clear strengths with which to work with. Eldritch Council - Magic and Elite Infantry Spiderfang Grotz - Venom Mechanic and Behemoths. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furuzzolo Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Plus i find fyreslayers very uninspired, both in image and lore; maybe that's just me but i love fantasy dwarves in every theme....just not them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStreicher Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I just like heavily armoured fantasy dwarves without horned helmets. Which is only runesmiths, Ironbreakers, Hammerers and longbeards. 😕 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montogon Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 yeah its defenetly a win all lose all combo. But still:) When it works it rocks the house.

EchoHavoc Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 OK so I was thinking about this as a tournament competitive list. What do you guys think? Leaders Warden King (120) - General - Trait: Grudgebearer Runelord (100) - Artefact: Ancestral Pickaxe Runelord (100) Celestant-Prime (340) - Allies Battleline 10 x Warriors (80) - Double-handed Duardin Axes & Shields 10 x Warriors (80) - Double-handed Duardin Axes & Shields 10 x Longbeards (100) - Great Axes & Shields 30 x Ironbreakers (360) 10 x Hammerers (160) Units 20 x Irondrakes (360) 10 x Irondrakes (180) Total: 1980 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 0 Allies: 340 / 400 Wounds: 123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bring only the 20x Irondrakes and up the Hammerers to 20 for a couple of reasons: -10 Irondrakes could be sniped easily (thinking of nurgle spells, cicle of contagion mortal wounds, every ranged unit in the game, deep strike). Only one wound to them and you have 9 attacks at mediocre range. -Hammerers are not durable, they do suffer mortal wounds from spell and have a 4+ save, 1 wound. They rely on number and have to run to the enemy. If you pickaxe the Ironbreakers or Irondrakes they need to walk to the enemy, if you want to pickaxe them you need to take into account a failed charge and 10 of them would not survive 1 turn. In my games Hammerers are what the opponent is concerned about, they are scary if you set up a countercharge or a pickaxe with charge reroll. Hammerers and Irondrakes are overcosted units, in my opinion, if you want to bring them you need to be 100% sure to be able to squeeze every point they cost. I like my hammerers at 30 and my irondrakes at 20. But again i think Dispossessed is a very experience-based army so i cannot talk for you and for your local meta, if you end up bringing your list let us know what you think and what your experience was! 😋 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Grudgebearer Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Hey guys! I'm very new to the hobby but I've spent the last couple of months trying to find my feet, learn the lore and how to play and just wanted to say this thread is GOLD for a new player. And I know you Duardin love gold heheh. I couldn't lurk forever though so wanted to let you know to keep up the good work. After Christmas I'll be playing my first full game so I'll try to get a report up so you can see how the Dispossessed do from a total beginner's perspective. Wish me luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the chance to try and let the Unforged shine? I have heard he's not great but those bonuses against Chaos seem fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furuzzolo Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 On 6/28/2018 at 5:25 PM, Furuzzolo said: There's a neat little combo with the Unforged and the new artefacts He can add +1 to wound if the target has more then 1 wound and he can stack it with the +1 to wound from Warden King. Longbeards can let him reroll 1s to wound. So +2 to wound, rerolling 1s. Now, in the new artefacts table from Ghur (malign sorc book) you can find an Anraheirs's Claws: Pick one of the bearer's melee weapons to be Anraheris's Claw. If the wound rollfor that weapon is a 6+ add 2 to the Damage characteristic of that weapon for that attack. So you are dealing 3 damage every 4 to wound and reroll every one. In a 3+ hit rerolling one, that's a good shot of damage. IF you're attacking chaos units you double that damage after every modifier. Check out this if you want to abuse the Unforged hate for chaos! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Grudgebearer Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 @Ragnar Alpaca As promised, these were my first ever painted models. @Furuzzolo Thank you!

The warscroll ability double all the damage dealt, so, following the rules, it double. Still the 6 attacks can deal a ton, be it 4 per wound or 6 per wound You need a 2+ to wound, rerolling one. the 4+ (still rerolling) trigger the damage, with the 1 reroll more then 50% is going to trigger. That could spike very high and, to this day, looks to me the best way to field an Unforged (sadly).

Grim Grudgebearer Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Definitely seems like my best chance of taking out something huge like Archaon. Do as much damage as possible with super buffed unforged then shoot the rest if he's still alive. Trouble is gonna be getting unforged into Archaon, while still being in range to get the buffs, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you that won't be the problem. But getting him in is going to the biggie. All eggs in one basket and all that. Tricky indeed. Haha @Furuzzolo, Just look at the unstoppable Berzerker and Battle Fury rules on the Grimwrath Berzereker. Those have Gotrek fluff written all over it The Deathblow rule by the unforged is really cool as well, but seems more fitting for the Slayers as unit. Like the compendium rules actually have. Their really fitting in my view. Edited December 4, 2018 by Kramer response to Furuzollo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dammaz Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Well, if your opponent doesn't know about this nasty little combo, it might go well if you play carefully. He may be eager to take the bait and charge head on. But beware, he probably won't take the bait twice... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
