Grot Wolf Based Army

[eldukero]

Greetings all,

I have been away from AoS for a bit but have a question regarding Grots, specifically a wolf based army. I have tried to look up articles already but there’s don’t seem to be any recently using the new rules. I basically wanted to know if an army using Grot Wolf Riders/hero/shaman and chariots was still ok and what tactics are useful. It seems a little confusing based on just the warscrolls if things like chariots are any good type of answers I’m hoping to get back. Thanks for helping!

if you use the Gitmob Grot allegiance you can use the wolf riders and chariots as Battleline and you could have an all wolf army if you really want.

Chariots are super fast and great for grabbing objectives or covering ground quickly. And they buff other wolf units (including heroes on wolves).

greenskins have a Grot on a chariot and Grot hero you can use as allies if you are playing gitmob or just take if you are using destruction allegiance.

If you are going destruction you need some cheap battle line so you can focus on wolves. Gitmob infantry are cheap and solid for battle line. Min Orruks archers are 80 points and not bad for holding objectives and fulfilling battle line requirements

wolf riders are pretty durable. 

I really want to do a wolf army or detachment as well, I’m just waiting to see what’s upcoming for grots

The wolfrider units are 60 wounds at 4+ are pretty solid for bogging down objectives, the bows seem just better to me, with sneaky stabbing on them they are actually pretty reasonable.

Big issue you will face is getting through high save armies, potentially you could include a bunch more endless spells to function as MW output. This is fricking dangerous though

The biggest issue imo is less stats and such but more IRL problem of....

The army is a crazy big horde, which means it's going to take ages to paint and the models are quite old so dont look as good (obviously down to taste) and are disturbingly expensive for a horde army 

40 x Wolf riders - £80

6 x Chariots - £144

Shaman on Wolf - Oop. Could convert or go to Ebay for £10-15

 

Thats nearly £250 for 980 points !
