Braggoth Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hi everyone, So I have this 500 points tournament in a month or so, and I've been wondering what could work within Destruction. The requirement is 1 leader and only 1 battleline. So far I was thinking of 1 Arachnarok with Spider Shrine 20 Night Goblin Grots 10 Savage Orruks Equipping the Spider with the Battlebrew and the Destruction command trait for the +1 to hit will make the Arachnarok deal D3 mortal wounds on a 3+ or 4+ to hit. But yeah, any suggestions are welcomed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaticula Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I am sorry, but I don't see your synergies here. Also technically you can not run 3 different fractions in 500 points. only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has his battle line and a leader. As far as how it will work I'm unsure as I have not played with or against the grote factions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaticula Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I am not sure if it is in the GH or in the FAQ/Errata. But the rule is one faction per 1000 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braggoth Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Pretty sure its not in the GH, and I don't remember seeing that in the FAQ. But please if you have any synergistic ideas, feel free to share. Because that list are just all around good value for the points they cost. 54 wounds, mortal wounds, and 2 spells per turn.

That is definitely not a rule I've come across. Please cite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadysaneto Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 never heard about the 1 faction per 1000 pts. anyway, why not full spider? Believe me 20 moonclan, without support, wont last 1 round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Indeed - I was about to suggest the same thing, but got distracted. Run 10 spiders - or at least five in place of the moonclan (it's five for 100pts right?). Use them wisely, though, because they'll probably crumble faster than the moonclans, but they'll at least do way more damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braggoth Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 I was leaning towards that in the beginning, but the amount of wounds they have isn't very impressive. So I was wondering if a fully buffed Arachnarok spider enough of a damage output? On the other hand this can give me a great excuse to start a full spiderfang army haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Full spiderfang, though not without its limitations, can be quite deadly. I imagine even more so at lower points where the lack of variety doesn't affect smaller armies as heavily. Honestly, if you're looking to definitely win don't do it - but if you're looking to compete, and with something cool and uncommon, go Spider! If you are looking to win, replace the moonclan with another unit of Savages, Boar boys, or any variety thereof (I'm not up on their points values though).

Sadysaneto Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Spider rider + spider boss would be more reliable than moonclan. The thing with moon grots is that under 40 models they are ******. Under 40 and no buff, they are radioactive ******. They are my favorite army, but i got be honest - without numbers and synergies, you are wasting points on grots. Try spider boss, spider riders and rock lobber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flindo Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 this is my prefrerred list for 500 points that I have tried so far : Megaboss 2 units of brutes with 2 brute choppas and a Gore Choppa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Taylor Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 What scenarios are being played? How do you win a game? Is it straight up kill everything or do you need to capture things? The list you have provided has no synergies and seems to rely upon the big spider killing things and everything else loitering around to capture objectives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is confusion with the need to keep within 1 alliance to get allegiance abilities, traits etc. There is no need to restrict faction. Depending on event rule, you could even go multi-alliance if you want - Probs a bad idea though to throw away general traits, allegiance destruction ability and the free artefact...

The list you have provided has no synergies and seems to rely upon the big spider killing things and everything else loitering around to capture objectives It's just a "kill everything" tournament, kinda like small skirmish games. I was leaning towards the Arachnarok since it's a model that has rarely seen play at my LGS, and is quite powerful on its own, but that I don't currently own any Spider Riders But I am open to any suggestions, like previously stated.

Plus they are slower since they are not in the Ironfist Battalion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, it seems like this has been the rule at the tournament at WarhammerWorld and our local GW store is using it. I personally find it a good rule.

It's still 86(?) wounds in a 500 point game.... Not a lot that will be able to dish out that much damage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalk Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Yeah, it's still going to be a really solid list. The low bravery on the orruks would keep it from being all-powerful though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
