Fellwater are for grinding down hordes, things like massive skele units etc. Rockguts are for hero sniping and killing things which high rerollable saves.

Would look hilarious with him on a really big base filled with mushrooms... Since I have some 20-30 different Night Goblin hero models from over the years that I really like I am trying to figure out how to use as many of them as possible but still use the new stuff. I think I am going to be doing more stuff like putting them on many of the big monster/creature models. For example, adding them onto the bases of some of the models as more of scenic details, standing on the shoulders of Giants or big Trolls to help lead them, or build a howdah onto my colossal squig and put a few of them there - etc. Some of them also work exceptionally well as unit leaders for the grot units. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amysrevenge Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 As a hobbyist/collector/rubbish player, working 60+ hour weeks all January long, here's where I'm at with the book now that I've had a chance to digest a bit. I could go to the store tonight (HA! too busy) with a fairly solid 2000 points of painted Spiderfang. I only have 2 Arachnaroks, which is a deficiency, but I could sub in a Colossal Squig. Immediate painting project is 20 more Spider Riders, even though I only need 15 to get to the list I like best haha. As far as a medium-term hobby project, I'm aiming toward a Skulkmob Horde. All I have to buy is one Skragrott and the endless spell set, and then convert one Fanatic (I have the bits I want to use picked out) and build a Loonshrine out of the bits from a couple Skull Pass kits. Then I can get to painting. It's not the best list, but it's a target. I've got the models to do 3 x 60 grots, but that's too many points tied up in grots. Skragrott Madcap Shaman 60 Stabbas (spears) with 9 nets, 3 musicians, 3 banners, 1 leader 5 Loonsmasha Fanatics 20 Stabbas (stabbas) with 1 net, 1 musician, 1 banner, 1 leader 5 Loonsmasha Fanatics 20 Shootas with 1 net, 1 musician, 1 banner, 1 leader 15 Loonsmasha Fanatics Aleguzzler Gargant Skulkmob Horde Scrapskuttle's Arachnacauldron I can't wait to get going. I'm already trimming mold lines off of Skull Pass spear-Stabbas to calm my brain at work, and I can move on to greenstuffing the hoods to my liking once that is done. And then once this is finished, I can move on to squigs and trolls......................... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brocktoon Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Do we have an estimate of how much bigger the Rockguts are than the old metal ones from around the turn of the century? I've got a fair number of the latter, but don't want to mix on the tabletop if there's a big discrepancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly sure the only way to resolve it as a Grot would be challenge for stabbas at dawn then spend the night before the duel trying to make sure make sure your opponent doesn't wake in the morning! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I can bring a squig with me to the duel. Or stab him in the back when he is not looking before the duel starts. Or offer some particularly potent (poisoned...) fungus brew before hand. There are lots of routes to go with. You did not think I was going to actually have a fair duel did you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyTheKing Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 What weapon works better on a 60 man stabba unit? I feel like stabbas May be slightly better if you position your grots correctly as you have a line of stabbas then the nets behind since they’re 2 inches?

a74xhx Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Could you just dump the loonshrine on top of an objective? Objectives are not scenery and objectives can be placed on scenery. It might be big enough to ensure no one can then take that objective. Amazing for something like Battle For The Pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn’t thought about it but yeah, you could. It’s an amazing tool to have for us, the way we can manipulate the board with such a big LOS blocking piece could be quite game changing/breaking at times I think.

I wonder if it's possible to fully break any of the battleplans before units have been deployed just by making a strategic point unobtainable. Maybe only the fluffy narrative ones which have non symmetrical layouts. 2 minutes ago, Malakree said: This would be why I've always assumed objectives to be a cylinder rather than a sphere. Is that to prevent scenery going on top of the objective? If so that would break the Sylvaneth strategy of placing woods over everything.

Maybe only the fluffy narrative ones which have non symmetrical layouts. Is that to prevent scenery going on top of the objective? If so that would break the Sylvaneth strategy of placing woods over everything. No, it's so that vertical distance becomes irrelevant when measuring to the objective. One question would be, does an objective move up if there is terrain ontop of it or is it always on the "board" level? If it's always on board level then I just need a piece of terrain which is a semi-sphere 6.1" in radius and that objective is now impossible to control. If it's place ontop of terrain then a small 20" high mountain with a plateau on the top over one of my objectives and it would add nearly an extra tables distance between you and my objective while I sit a unit on-top of it. Essentially claiming the objective for free. Having it as a cylinder prevents all those problems and makes it almost impossible to game the system in those sorts of ways and just makes everything a lot smoother.
