Squark Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Does anyone who's worked with the Corpse-rippa Vulcha kit know how practical it is to magnetize the rider so it can be run as either Gobbsprakk or a Killaboss? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very easy for the Boss and Gobsprakk, I didn't even need to magnetize. It fits recently regardless. The bird head might be harder if you want to go all the way, since it is hollow.

Smash Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I am thinking of running a big block of 30 gutrippaz with spears together with Snatchaboss on sludgeraker. Wondering if it is hard to fit the gutrippaz wholly within the 12 inch sludgeraker buff? Thinking maybe it will be better to just run a unit of 20 as to fit them in the buff.

Smash Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 This is my list and my thoughts around it is: - One drop so i will try to take first turn - I will use disappearing act to remove screens from my opponent - Then I will deepstrike in my gutrippaz - push up the board with sludgeraker with fast un - deploy my shaman out of unbind range and move the rogue idol with sneaking measma - then call waagh and hit first and hard with 3 big hitters (rogue idol, sludgeraker and gutrippaz) hopefully taking out the biggest threats - Use the boltboyz for range support, that will maybe turn 2 get poison buff - Capture objectives with my goblins Looking for tips, especially if you think it would be reliable to get sludgeraker and rogue idol into combat t1, and as my previous post. If my gutrippaz would manage to get the buff. Sludgeraker would have 16" before charge and rogue idol 20" so i hope that is enough to charge some juicy targets.

Mostly for fun, it’s a good model but far from a must take. Personally it’s over costed just like the rest of those forge world models but unlike the others it’s actually good. Up to you if you want to play with it or not but you should never feel like you need one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vasshpit Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Whats the stats of hand weapons over spears on gutrippaz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand weapons might have had some utility if Gutrippaz came in units of 5, but as is, they just don't work.

NauticalSoup Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Yep honestly there's no point to the option even existing. New coherency with a 10 man minimum on 32s... the hand weapons would need INSANELY inflated attack stats to even break even with spears, let alone to ever be superior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abstract_duck Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 There was some argument about using them in groups of 10, because their damage output stays better for longer if they take chip damage. That said, since you're usually buffing them for extra mortals on a 6, or even with a shaman, for the 5+ mortals wounds, I'd say the situations are too niche and specific to warrant the hand weapons indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costs quite a lot, but benefits greatly from Supa Sneaky and Dirty Tricks - can be deployed on the side of the enemy and tie one flank for a round or two. You can even smash faction terrain with him if you can get far enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abstract_duck Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Anyone have any experience on using the mirebrute without Sneaking it in with Supa sneaky, or giving it Fast 'un?

I want to run multiple mirebrutea with that reroll 1s aura And with the marshcrawla to boost hit, who also get the reroll 1s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting and innovative list but you'd be better off just playing IJ if you want a T1 alpha combat army. There are a few issues with these kinds of KB lists. First off you won't get a raker into combat and still applying the 12" range buff to thirty 32mm guys who preferably are spread out in 2 ranks. To get this to work you also need a lot of pieces to fall into place. You need to: - Succeed a 6CV casting roll with no +cast (~67% chance) - Make 3 different charge rolls that can be made much harder with redeploy. Just making three 5" charges has a 60% chance of success (rerolls and redeploy skews this of course) - Make at least one 4+ with 3 dice, hopefully 2, followed by a 2+ or 3+ depending on the screen. On top of all that you also have really spiky rolls in combat. Sometimes the sludgeraker goes in and goes mental, sometimes you roll no sixes and he does kind of nothing. The idol also doesn't have the strongest profile, averaging 7-12 wounds depending on save. Its gonna feel great when you pull it off but a lot of games will probably end up with something not going your way and the whole thing crumbling. Id try it out with proxies or over TTS a couple of games before buying into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand weapons might have had some utility if Gutrippaz came in units of 5, but as is, they just don't work. Here's a layout of the best possible array of 32mm round bases in a straight line formation. If a unit of 10 is going against a broad enough line of enemies they could all get in. I haven't yet laid it out vs various large ovals and rounds yet. Oops, the dimensions are tiny! That's 19mm between the front bases and 20mm back for the back row. Coherency is retained with these distances but tough to do so during a game (without movement trays to this design that is).

NauticalSoup Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I've been playing a lot with Ardboyz and I can tell you, saw-toothing helps but as soon as you bring in terrain, adjacent combats and other bottlenecking factors you find getting even 10 guys fighting in a sawtooth is a challenge. And Gutrippas are barely combat effective in blocks of 10 anyway. Positioning 32s to fight with 1" weapons is just a gigantic hassle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Krungharr Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Yeah I've had trouble with it using Fyreslayers too. One possible solution is a flexible movement tray with limiting mechanical parts to always maintain coherency but with each base able to move. Each movement tray would probably only cost like $30-40 🤑 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The head of the vulcha is a bit more faff so I just choose gobsprakk version and don’t both magnetising that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
