Rtificer Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Hey peeps. Last year I got into Warhammer at the tail end of 8th and started a Night Goblin themed army. I loved the AoS changes when they came but shortly after the release, life got in the way of hobbying. Recently I got back in the saddle and am determined to get a decent playable Moonclan army painted up. I'm aiming for the Great Moonclan battalion as a starting point with some Troggoths, doom divers and squig based auxillary units. I'm learning to paint as I go, so please join me on my journey to finally get this army painted and ready for some Age of Sigmar! I've started a twitter account especially (@Rtificer) and I'll be posting updates here as a way of motivating myself to keep going. Here's a shot of most of the stuff I need to get through (minus a bunch of bow grots). Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviathus Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 The Moonclan always had a special place in my heart. Looking foward how this army will develop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wargaming Watchtower Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 When I got back into Warhammer (8th ed) Night goblins or now know as moonclan were my favourite, there just too funny! Best of luck with your journey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I'm with you, love the Goblins and Squigs! I'm going to work on my own soon as well as my daughters Elves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtificer Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Believe it or not this project is still alive! As am I. I've had a bit of a turbulent year or so with hobby stuff once again taking a back seat and a lot of my stuff in storage so here I am dusting these grots off and resolving to paint some more. I've reassessed the army since the General's Handbook and am still aiming at the Great Moonclan Battalion but probably around 1000pts for now. Something achievable! Something like this: 1 x moonclan grot warboss 2 x moonclan grot shaman 2 x 20 moonclan grots w/spears & shields 1 x 20 moonclan grots w/bows 4 x moonclan grot fanatics (only have 3 at the mo) 1 x mangler squigs I've got a bunch of other mini's to expand beyond that in a purely moonclan manner but we'll see how this goes for now. I have made some progress on the painting and basing side of things over the past year and I'll post some close ups of the finished pieces once I've sorted some decent ones out. For now here's an overall pic of the "to-do" list: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazyfimfim Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Great idea, allways loved goblins.Sadly, the moonclan batallion doesn't work anymore as it requires goblins.Now moonclan grots are listed as grots Envoyé de mon EVA-L09 en utilisant Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtificer Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Interesting... I'm not a regular player to be honest so I won't worry about that too much. If I ever do get a game in with the army, hopefully my opponent will allow a small translation of Goblin into Grot. On the other hand, not worrying about the 3 units of Night Goblins restriction for the battalion scroll does free me up a bit to bring in some of the more interesting units I have. Hmmm.... I might have a little rethink as it saves some points on the battalion and I've been looking for way to fit in some Troggoths with these guys. At the end of the day it's just a bit of a structure to get some models I like painted and who knows, the Moonclan might even have a battletome of their own by the time I get round to completing this (one can hope!) with some more interesting options.

Furious Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Indeed - go for Troggoths! It's a beefy unit that works nicely with Moonies (not those moonies, these Moonies). I've also found a lot of the old Destruction compendium battalions to be quite restrictive, requiring a ton of units. Moonclan works well with large numbers in their units as opposed to lots of smaller units (like most other Orruk and Grot battlines). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtificer Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Alright, I've had a bit of a rejig forgetting the old compendium battalion and this comes in bang on 1000pts: Moonclan Grot warboss Moonclan Grot Shaman 40 Moonclan Grots w/spears & shields 20 Moonclan Grots w/bows 2 x Moonclan Grot fanatics Mangler Squigs Fellwater Troggoths Shame I can only fit 2 fanatics in but hopefully the Troggoths are worth it. Visually they are but again, I'll be happy if I get it painted, let alone play it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaris Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Really like Fellwater Troggoths visually, they are so cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
