Blackspine Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) I'm a new (very new) Destruction player, had years of Maggotkin/Chaos experience, but the waaagh is new to me. Looking at Gordrakk's command ability is very tempting to a new player. I know that he suffers the same fate as most named characters (can't take more defensive tools, artifacts/ etc) and he's very much overpriced. Is it possible to fit him within battalions? Non-mega battalions? Is he even worth it as a mid/late game threat? My thoughts were that he'd buff up so many Orruks that they'd be damage dealers by sheer weight of number. If he can fit in battalions. Thanks! Edited May 22, 2019 by Blackspine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrickson Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Sadly Gorrdrakk doesn't fit in any battalions other than an old realm gate wars narrative one. He's most commonly seen leading Gorefists and other battalions of that ilk, but as an additional choice not within those battalions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackspine Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Thanks. Am I reading his ability correctly? If he uses his ability on a unit, if that unit is in a battalion, it affects the entire battalion? Or does he need to be part of said battalion (which he cannot be) Thanks!

You are reading it correctly. He doesn't have to be in the battalion and it affects any entire destruction battalion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlasticCraic Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I would just add to that - he cannot be in a batallion for 2000 point matched play. He can be part of Bloodtoofs or Ironsunz from the GH (they include any Ironjawz unit), but he doesn't fit in the points with the minimum batallion requirements (comes to 2020 minimum). You can quite easily fit him in a Bloodtoofs or Ironsunz at 2500 points, if you're playing at that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMMachine Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 @Rid Your List isn't valid because the bloodtoof Battalion has the restriction, that the ironfist battalion must include 5 units (your list has only 4) And the cheapest configuration would be this like @PlasticCraic said with the points: Allegiance: DestructionGordrakk the Fist of Gork (580)Megaboss on Maw-Krusha (440)- Boss Gore-hacka and Scrap-tooth3 x Orruk Gore Gruntas (140)- Pig-iron Choppas3 x Orruk Gore Gruntas (140)- Pig-iron Choppas3 x Orruk Gore Gruntas (140)- Pig-iron Choppas3 x Orruk Gore Gruntas (140)- Pig-iron Choppas3 x Orruk Gore Gruntas (140)- Pig-iron ChoppasIronfist (180)Bloodtoofs (120)Total: 2020 / 2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladesway Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 So Gordrakk is a mega moss on maw krusha, why can’t he be the bloodtoofs boss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's to do with keyword bold. If something is printed in keyword bold, so Ironjawz, then its refering to any unit which has that keyword on the bottom of the warscroll. If it's not keyword bold then it's referring to only the warscroll with that exact name. So for bloodtoofs it's not in keyword bold therefore it can only be the normal cabbage.

Yeah, with all the point changes the list is now 1920 Points, so a warchanter could be included as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlasticCraic Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Is anyone planning on doing this? I ran a 2500 points Bloodtoofs at our club championships last year and did pretty well, but that was before Activation Wars were in full swing. I'm not sure it would go all that well currently? Feels like a build that would "win more"in what are already good matchups, and would have a pretty hard ceiling in its bad matchups - or have I got that wrong?

Lanoss Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 You can now run Gordrakk in a Ironsunz/Bloodtoofs battalion with 5x units of Gruntas (or Ardboys) with 80pts left over for a Warchanter, Gloomspite Shaman or CP I personally prefer the Ironsunz for using Gordrakk and Gruntas as the -1 to hit improves Big G’s survivability and Gruntas don’t necessarily need extra bravery D3 additional attacks and wounds on the compulsory MBMK is fun. And he could have either a Metalrippers Claw, Etheral Amulet, Ignax’s Scales or Doppleganger Cloak for funsies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rid Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I plan to run it yeah, because at some point the stars will be right and you will smash n bash most of their army off the board in one go 🤘🏿 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
