Crispen Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Hi Guys, I did some searching on the internet and saw on reddit some chaos players saying you could take battalions in mixed chaos. Just wondering if you can take battalions in a grand alliance army? I took a look in the handbook and couldn't see anything saying you couldn't, but I'm assuming I've missed something. Thanks in advance for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlasticCraic Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Absolutely you can! That second artefact and reduced drops can be handy. And we now have a few more to play with, having the GG book. Savage Orruks can fit in a Kunnin Rukk and cover off Destruction Battleline for example. The other thing that can work well in a Mixed army is Gordrakk giving a whole Batallion the extra attacks + 3D6 charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispen Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Excellent! Thanks for the reply man! The gordrakk thing sounds pretty tasty. I was more thinking of just taking the skitterswarm (think thats what its called, with the scuttleboss and 3 units of riders) + my stonelord and maybe some gitmob to fill in the battleline requirements.

PlasticCraic Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Yeah, Gitmob are pretty cool GA Battleline. 60 Gitmob Archers + a Shaman is a good starting point for any Mixed army! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, totally agree. I think it might be an alright option as allies for gloomspite too, 350pts for an alright screening unit (if you need it) and if not some decent shooting. Till the troggboss dropped I was running 160 gitmob with a few shamans, troll hag and a few units of fellwater trolls. It would do well against most things, except sylvaneth rekt it pretty hard. I'll have to see how it goes now the trolls are super killy. Had 3 fellwater troggoths just chew through 30 plague bearers the other day at a 1k team tournament. So much better than what they were. I saw your video with Doom and Darkness, have you tried captain smash yet? Someone was trying him at the tournament I was at and the best he did is delete a unit of 3 goregruntas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlasticCraic Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 You need to speak to @mcbrain for that, he is a pioneer of the Spiderfang and that Scuttleboss build in particular! He took them to CanCon and did really well. Also played in the Trans Tasman Cup the night before CanCon, representing the victorious New Zealand team with Captain Smash front and centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still 20min game gives you plenty of time to drink in the atmosphere and gloat more as your team wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlasticCraic Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Haha yep...a quick game is a good game! Especially on a Friday night when there's a "chully bun" on the go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrain Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 That game is becoming famous...someone ask Liam how the rest of his weekend turned out, because I went 4-2 in the tournament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
