Foz Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Made a post a few weeks ago discussing a possible list i was thinking of running based around the icebone warclan. I'm about to pull the trigger and buy some models so was wondering what some of the more experienced savages feel about certain units/formations. Firstly - are maniak boarboys worth it? Yes they can pile in twice and will be moving 11 inches in the war clan but are they better than normal boar boys? From memory (haven't brought the book to work) they have a potential output of one extra damage compared to the normal guys, but have a worse save and lack the hit and run ability which lets you keep your options open combat wise and help make sure tusker charge is in effect. What about big stabbas -should i be taking them as they offer high rend and extra damage against monsters? And if so - do people feel the rukk is a no brainer. Am I allowed to take the old war scroll big boss on a boar? What war clans do people think have the edge competitively/play style are people preferring? I've mainly looked at icebone so far as I want plenty of cavalry - but if maniaks aren't worth it could do something else. Finally - in list building so far I've been focusing on getting my list to as few deployment drops as possible with either everything in one war clan or one war clan plus an additional formation outside - do those who have been running the savages for a while feel the need to be dropping asap or prefer being able to react to their opponents deployment? I know I always have the choice to not 'one-drop' but if I never worry about needing to it could open up some more list options? Thanks for your help guys!

Thanatos Ares Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I always take Teef Rukk, always! The free pile in from 6" and round of melee is amazingSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanatos Ares Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I'd take the half wounds artefact on your Wurgog or a Big Boss if you running one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanatos Ares Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Having the option to deploy in a single drop is definitely an advantage. You don't have to use it!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanatos Ares Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Personally I prefer to deploy units individually to better prepare for my opponents army. If they give me first turn I don't HAVE to move at all if I don't wannaSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanatos Ares Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Lol, my brain was deliberately working slower than my typing skillz.... lolI deliberately didn't mention Arrerboys as they are savagely powerful (pun intended..) and I'm on personal quest to try and find a competitive pure Bonesplittaz list that doesn't include them!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
