Jeah. That is what I also thought.

Malakree Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Jebus that MW charge roll. It's like a Cabbage on steroids. Doesn't even require the models to be within in 1" just one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_gore Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 The missing MONSTER keyword is a bit baffling to be honest. Has it been confirmed by the devs it's not just a mistake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like Evocators, but happening after the charge move and not after the Evocators have fought (but Evocators roll 2 dice per model). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's really really good in gavespawn, since you can give him the unique artifact and he can pretty reliably one phase kill most heroes and trigger reroll failed hits and wounds. Sure, it can be situational, but it's a powerful buff to breyherd. Plus in gavespawn when he dies you get a spawn on anything but a one. Gavespawn are best! I'm re-building my beastmen (from mine and friend's old 6th ed beastmen armies) army for AoS and I did chose to do Khornate Gavespawn army. With 2 Beast Lords, lots of gors, chariots and centigors. And some spawns. Maybe add some bestigors later. Beast Lords are one of my favorite heroes on Chaos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infeston Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I also think the charge and retreat command ability of the fungoid cave shaman will work well with the Boingrot Bounzerz: https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG Fungoid Cave Shaman.pdf At least if you want to make him your general. But I think it could work if you should him with Spore-fanatics, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the Dankhold does not degrade, is no Monster (-1 to hit, cover, recovers wounds), has absurd dmg (without even an artefact), he buffs, is immune to magic and he has an instant kill attack build in.... he should be priced 50-60pts higher than a Leviadon and be closer to a Stardrake pointswise, everything else is mildly put absurd. otherwise people will just spam him 3x and 180 grots.

Skabnoze Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 4 minutes ago, Malakree said: Why would you ever use a fungoid general over Skragrott though? It depends on how the Fungoid Shaman's scroll reads when the book comes out. If he still has to be your general in order to use his command ability then I think there is still use to have him as your general depending on the army build. Looking at the warscrolls that were released today there is a major bonus for charging with Boingrot Bounders and the Fungoid's command ability can disengage them so you can bounce off and charge again. My hope is that they ditch the "has to be your general" restriction from his command ability since I would probably most often prefer a different general (such as for unit unlocks), but if the restriction remains at least there is some synergy that we definitively know about.

I like creating my own heroes with their own backstory. A named hero instead always has some kind of backstory, which I can't influence. This is why I like unnamed heroes more than named ones. On the other hand having a key figure or two can help quickly inject some sort of story with a faction and also even become beloved, like Skarsnik or Grimgor. Especially for a game like AoS where a lot of the fluff is unknown. I mean I love BoC, but felt at least a character or two would help them get some personality other than "we're chaos marauders with goat heads". An AoS version of Kholek Suneater (maybe his successor) would have been cool. Or the Brass Bull. Plus so far theres plenty of generic heroes for GGs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonlord has more attacks, better command ability, double the movement, Reroll failed saves, ranged mortal wound output which isn't a shooting attack and fly all at 340 points. That's not even starting with the Great Unclean One comparison Honestly if the Troggboss isn't 340 or less then it's overcosted. I'd personally put it around 280 just because of the move/fly issues EDIT: Hell maybe even 240/260 like the Freeguild Gryphon Edited January 4, 2019 by Malakree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is so much more to it than only the healing. Monsters at his powerlevel are 380+ points and they degrade, don‘t get cover, csn‘t Heal themselves, don‘t have 4 D6 dmg attacks, aren‘t Immune to magic and they don‘t get -1 to being hit if 3 grots are around. + a free CO ever herophase... well. I‘ll seriously deny games against armies with 2+ dankholds then. Spam 4 and put the rest in normal grots and mages GG. ... and now compare him to the Leviadon.

Ekrund Oath Splitters Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Im liking Skaggrot but i wouldnt take him as my general. The d3 extra CPs are nice but i imagine there are some tasty command traits out there in the book. With the badmoon over his board quarter he will get a +2 to cast! so he only needs to roll a natural 8 to stop artifacts!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
