Yeh @Mitzy has done a great job using my fav colour His army is great. I too am looking forward to painting the models and indeed getting 6 more as part of a couple of SC boxes.

I guess Khornates feel the same way about their Juggernaut-riders?? Ha! Indeed. on the last podcast we recorded, Matt said exactly that about the Skullcrushers. So I guess it's not just us feeling underwhelmed by our beastie mounts not pulling their (considerable) weight!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitzy Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Cheers @Chris Tomlin and @Dotification I really appreciate the love for the Big Pigz they are really nice to paint. Above that however is my theory that an all Gore Grunta army would be cinematic in the extreme! And I think could do quite well. I have 6 more in my to build/paint pile so the option for me to field 15 is there (when I get round to doing them). But in reality the list I'm thinking looks like this: Gordrakk (700) 6 x Gore Gruntas (360) 6 x Gore Gruntas (360) 3 x Gore Gruntas (180) 3 x Gore Gruntas (180) Gorefist Formation (120) Total (1900) The trouble is what to put in for the last 100 points. I guess a unit of 5 Orruk Boar Boys? But they ain't Ironjaws... Anyway I think 18 GG's on the hoof would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sangfroid Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 A warchanter for buffing one of the 6 packs. In rough terms if all armed with choppas and you could get every gore grunta into range to attack, gordrakks command ability and +1 to hit on one unit...... 6 with +1 to hit (17 wounds -1 rend 12 wounds from mounts) 6 without +1 (13.5 wounds -1 rend 9 wounds from mounts) 3s do (7 wounds -1 rend 4.5 wounds from mounts so I total that's 44.5 wounds -1 rend 30 wounds no rend you cannot fail any charges as long as your 3" away and you can do it all turn one! it it would be glorious and if you picked the right targets and got a bit of luck on your side you could hammer a serious hole in the enemy before they get chance to immune to battleshock etc... Goregruntas are really tanks too so should be able to weather the return attacks and leave a nice tidy target for gordrakk to blatter turn 2 you could also probably let them take a turn accept some buffs but then go for the double turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running this as one of my lists for Facehammer GT: Gordrakk - 700 Warchanter - 80 Warchanter - 80Ironfist - 60 3 x Gore Gruntas - 180 3 x Gore Gruntas - 180 3 x Gore Gruntas - 180 3 x Gore Gruntas - 180 6 x Gore Gruntas - 360 2000pts!

Yeh I know I said on Whatsapp I wasn't really sold on the benefit of units of 6 over 3's, but this certainly is a strong reason to do so. Where I am looking to drop my Shaman for a second Warchanter, it's making me consider dropping my 2x 5 Brutes for another unit of 10 with the same rationale in mind. "Downside" being I'd have to buy 2 more boxes of Brutes to make more with Jagged Hackas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily she is ok with it, because for every box of my toys that comes through the post there is invariably one to match for her from ASOS/Topshop etc!! @Dangermouse425 - That's quite the haul!
