Redmanphill Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 So having decided to try out the points system finally I sat down with what might be a forthcoming army for me: the Ironjawz. I started making out a list and then I realised how hard it is to come in close to two thousand. I am aware it is possible but in doing that I would be missing out on a lot of units that I want to take. Have GW missed a trick by not making items/traits have a cost so that we can squeeze in something for the last few points remaining, 60 points in my case! 40 'Ardboyz 10 Brutes 6 Gore Gruntas Warchanter Megaboss Weirdnob ShamanIronfist formationWeirdfist formation Also the army seems remarkably small. Are these units, the 'Ardboys will be spilt into two units, too big? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadysaneto Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Funny thing, since i find the point too little to put what i want, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Being short those points can give you a roll on the Triumph table...if your opponent isn't lower I kinda like how they priced everything, in particular with Ironjawz. It's so easy to swap units out! HINT: I think they got the points swapped backwards for the Weirdnob and Warchanter, one is WAY more valuable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottle Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 As everything is in blocks of 20 points, rather than thinking you are 60 points short, instead think of it as being 3 "blocks" short. 1940 points is fine for a 2000 point list, and the plus side is you'll usually get to roll on the Triumph Table for each battle.

Redmanphill Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Yeah but as I played in the World that Was 60 feels like a huge gap, especially as I have three spare 'Ardboys that would fit in there fine... I guess I just have to deal with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottle Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 AoS is perfect for House Rules, you could bring 3 extra Ard Boyz along and ask your opponent if he is cool with it. I know I would in a PUG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmanphill Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Yeah well I only ever consider points viable in a tournament setting otherwise I would have just put them in and probably a lot more. I am a little astounded by how small the army is actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thediceabide Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 You could upgrade a chanter to a shaman and only be 20 points under, though the nearly guaranteed triumph roll can seriously swing a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmanphill Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 What is a triumph roll, those tables in the Time of War? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 It's in the Basic Rules. Warchanter>Weirdnob....though the Weirdnob is a cooler model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottle Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 There's a special Triumph Table for Matched play that the lower pointed player gets to roll on. It's near the start of the Matched Play section of the GHB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically agree, but he needs a Weirdnob to make his Weirdfist Battalion legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Drop the Weirdfist, pick up another 2 Warchanters or a Megaboss. Put all the rest of your units in the Ironfist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
