Fighting like beastmen where you just try to die slowly. I think they're wrong, but a couple big wig tournament folk have talked about them as such. The -1 command trait and the perfect protection armor would likely be best for protection on the objective grabbing style. I'd still go for the sandals, but that's a personal choice. I'd quote Drazhoath but I didn't want to make 2 posts. Stomper tribes are very focused and thus not terribly all rounder friendly. To the point of all rounderness, I'd say breaker and taker tribes are more universal. For breakers you take a hatred that roughly fits the most things. Probably either idiots with flags or the 4+ save one (depending on your local meta). Takers don't really get any benefits beyond objective taking, so they don't care too much who they're fighting. The biggest choice for the army is how many megas you take. I only have 6 mancrushers and 2 megas so I only have like 2-3 lists to use. (I know someone on here had great success with 3 megas) Perhaps some of our other stomp leaders could tell us of their experiences with varying numbers of megas? The army is much more vulnerable to your opponent's list selection than many others. I believe it's been said before, if your opponent can take out a mega in one phase, then you are likely to lose. At that point it's a race to see who can hit the other hammer first. Our shooting can help out there and if they only have 1-2 hammers you might be able to pull it off and save yourself. (my battle report with Tzeentch is an example of this ... even though I lost the tournament match) Good luck fellow sons, For Behemat! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to be very good at killing hordes, you need many Mancrusher in a Stomper Tribe. But that’s a bad list against many elite MSU armies. It’s very hard for SoB to build an Allrounder List. I guess taker could be seen as more the all rounder as it doesn’t care so much about the opponents army and wants to play objectives and quite probably is the most flexible in build. Rarely see lists with duplicate megas in taker and split between 2 big 6 small or 3 big 3 small and then also splits as to if people want to run 3 solo small gargants to try to really leverage the counts as 15 rule. stomper tribe has most potential damage output but will face armies where the damage buff never triggers and due to its rules the warstomper and 9 small build feels the best to me. IMHO though there are a couple of valid trait artifact combos though for some variety then breaker my fav I see a few different builds for. I personally like the triple gatebreaker and unit of 3 with +1 vs heroes / wizards as it’s the list with the most sniping potential and I’ve always found killing key buff heroes is great for objective play armies as it tends to heavily drop the enemies damage output and lower the chances they can table you. Also can give some counter play vs the top lists which focus on shooting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drazhoath Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I like the triple Gatebreaker list with an unit of 3 Mancrusher too BUT we need Screens. So I like the idea of double Gatebreaker, one Warstomper and three units of one Mancrusher for screening our megas. Because without screens we get in trouble against alpha strikes (yes, I look at you Mawcrusher). An double Mawcrusher list has no problem to put out one or thanks to smashing and bashing, two megas in turn one. I saw this, believe me.

I just have to play three Gatebreakers because I bought the army to play mega’s in the first place. I know that individual Mancrushers are better for cover but points won’t allow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArborealWalrus Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Alright, I had a game against bone reapers Sunday. We did starstrike on a desert board. He's been just trying stuff out. This wasn't the current "must take Katakros" build. Not exactly the hardest fight, but it was a nice break up from the -1 to be hit stuff. My list: Spoiler 2,000pts - breaker tribe, idiots with flags (+1 vs units with command models or the TOTEM keyword) Gatebreaker Mega gargant - general, extremely bitter - (+1 vs heroes), The gate artifact (6++) Gatebreaker Mega Gargant 3x1 Mancrushers 1x3 Mancrushers My opponent's list: Mortis Praetorians Spoiler Arch Kavalos Zandtos Mortisan Boneshaper - empower nadrite weapons Mortisan Soulmasons - general - +d3 command, Artificer's blade, arcane command 10 kavalos deathriders - spears 2x20 mortek guard - blades Gothizzar harvester 2x mortek crawler the +1 to hit endless spell Terrain/setup: There was a temple in the center with desert buildings in each corner and one in the middle on each side. His bone tithe nexus was on his side on my left between the 2 other buildings. I set up my megas on either side of my central terrain. I put a mancrusher on either side of the board edge and hid the rest behind the central terrain. My opponent put the cavalry, the kavalos and the crawlers on the left with the rest of his army by the middle, the tith nexus inbetween them. Turn 1: I had less drops and decided to go first. My thought was to destroy the nexus before he could give me a -1 to hit. Plus he could hit me with the catapults anyways. After my crushing defeat (in a game against myself) I decided to keep most of my giants together for protection, I ran my whole army towards the left in an attempt to take out the nexus and maybe get the catapults. My normal mega was out front and wrecked the terrain. I remember someone suggesting using them as meatshields. On my opponent's turn he whiffed all but 1 of his catapult shots into the unit of 3, doing 5 damage. The endless spell hung out by yhe main fight. He charged the mega with the horsemen and a unit of mortek, careful not to draw in anyone else. She got hit by the horses and massacred 14 of the guard. She took 14 damage from the 2 units. Turn 2: My opponent won the roll off and took the double turn. He moved the other mortek unit at my general and the harvester at my other mega. The wizards gave reroll 1s and more hits on 5+. My general was surrounded as the central fight continued. The catapults killed 2 of the mancrushers and my general took 13 damage from the guard and wiped them out. The other mega was left on 1 wound after she failed to kill the harvester. The last mancrusher from the unit stuck around. On my turn I killed the harvester in shooting and most of the morteks. A lone mancrusher ran and charged at the catapult, making it in. The boss charged the last mortek, obliterating them. A horse was crushed on the charge and the unit was wiped out by the general. At this point my opponent surrendered. With 2 crawlers and 3 heroes left he didn't have much of an army. This was more of a learning game for him than me, but it was very nice having a +1 to hit generally. He didn't have a lot of hitting power with his mortek crawlers missing. Keeping your giants together seems to be the best method of survival. Also offence. Makes taking objectives harder but I like my giants enough to be willing to risk objectives. Worked out this time. The mega was a worthy meat shield too. Hope you guys enjoyed For Behemat! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuben Parker Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Nice one! I think in general breakers are pretty solid vs OBR with all the rend -3. Indeed though not having to face Big K is definitely a boon. As although breakers are my favourite they’re most vulnerable to hit debuffs.

TheArborealWalrus Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Spoiler I made another boy. Don’t have a name for him yet. I do have a question though. What color scheme would compliment the desert bases I have planned? I was thinking a reddish sand for the canyon they’ll be displayed in. Hope everyone is having a good week. For Behemat!

Red_Point Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Hi, fellow Mega-gargant I'm new to this awesome army and would have a doubt about the "Get Orf Me Land!" of the Kraken-eater. Having multiple Kraken-eater models on the field controlling different objectives, can I "kick" them one at a time or only one per phase? Thanks in advance for your answers.

The wording is a bit funny but I’m pretty positive you can do multiple kicks just have to be separate objectives. Reason being the last sentences clarifies each objective can only be kicked once per phase. If they only wanted one kick in total the wording would have confirmed that. Saying that I’ve not really seen multiple Kraken eaters considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can kick multiple objectives but you cannot "chain:" kick an objective between 2 giants as the requirement is that the objective kicked is within 1" of a krakeneater and it cannot land within 1" of another model. But if you have 2 Kraken eaters on 2 different objectives you can kick both of them individually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
