kaaras Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 So, I have a bit of a concern. The GA Destruction book has warpaint for Savage Orruks and the Boarboys, and if memory serves so did most of the other models in the Bonesplittaz range in the AoS app. However, it appears in the latest updates, warpaint has been removed as a generic option. So, is it only an option in a warscroll battalion now? Has anyone else noticed this? Makes me think they get a little worse without it (ok, a 6+ ward isn't much, but its better than nothing!!!). Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 It's their Allegiance Ability. Don't worry - they are obscenely overpowered now. They have two wounds and are far too cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaaras Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 That's interesting. Not sure why they would take it off the warscrolls, but I guess that makes sense. I haven't bought the book yet, so I thought that maybe it would be an army wide ability. Different question: Is the Bonesplittaz big mob worth using? +1 to warpaint seems pretty good to me.

Nico Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 It's to ensure that they are a worse choice in a mixed Destruction army. I'm hoping that the keywords don't match up so you cannot use it or that the formation doesn't itself have the Bonesplitterz keyword, so it's self-defeating.

BrAiKo Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Interesting (fluffy?) that warpaint only works if the whole army is Bonesplitterz, and in a general destruction army a savage unit's warpaint doesn't do anything. It's almost as if the warpaint only protects them if they believe in it enough Boneplitterz (in a horde of their own kind): "Dis ere supa waagh paint will save uz" vs Boneplitterz (in a mixed faction): "Dis ere supa waagh paint will save uz" Ironjawz: "You gitz, dat's just paint, dat ain't savin nuttin. Now dis is proppa arma. " Bonesplitterz: "Oh, maybe you rite..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Nico, the warscroll says: Nothing useful actually. 1 Savage Orc Warboss, Shaman, Boar boys and normal orcs. No keywords added. So no point then... Oh, and about the Alleigance Packs: Wurrgog is $21 (AUS), Bonesplitterz $14, whole book on app $26... Is it the Wurrgog one that people get as it has the battle and command traits, spells and artefacts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word "Savage" (and "Big" and "Boar" I guess) is the only thing in common between the requirements for the formation and any of the new units.

kaaras Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Thanks for the replies. On to the next part: I have recently acquired the ironjawz start collecting and a sizeable chunk of savage orcs. I also found some standard orcs and boarboys (of the non-savage type) that I am converting to look like they are in the transition phase, having been touched by Mork (or Gork) and recently joined their savage cousins. The Ironjawz are following them around coz this lot always seems to find a good fight... At this stage I have: 20 x Savage Orruks (ok, i have converted a few of the standard orruks to have the same weapons, shields and other bits, and plan to paint tattoos and the like on them) 10 x Arrer boys (similar deal as above) 5 x Boarboys (these are easier conversions as they are most of the way there) Plus the ironjawz box. I want to add brutes to these as they look cool. What is the best hero to add for this? Wurrgog Prophet I would guess, a mega-boss as well? Savage warboss? All of them?
