Soul oWar Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 First time I will be playing vs skaven this afternoon and first time playing at 1000 pts. I was thinking of using this list: Allegiance: DestructionLeadersOrruk Megaboss (140)Orruk Warchanter (80)Battleline10 x Orruk Brutes (360)- Ironjawz Battleline10 x Orruk Ardboys (180)- Ironjawz Battleline3 x Orruk Gore Gruntas (180)- Ironjawz BattlelineBattalionsIronfist (60)Total: 1000/2000 Any thoughts?

Anaticula Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 In my humble opinion you don't have many options anyway. This looks fine, and I would play it probably against any other army. One could exchange the Ardboyz or the Gruntas for another unit of Brutes. I personally would leave out the Gruntas. Not as resilient as the Boyz, and our army is fast enough.

Jesper77 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Do you know how the skaven player runs his army? Is it large blocks with crown your in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soul oWar Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 what I did, got destroyed. But the guy is cool, and don't like the free mortal wound. Didn't like it either but learned from the matchup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soul oWar Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 2x 3 stormfiend 1x Warp Lightning Cannon 1x Warp-Grinder Weapon Team 1x Arch-Warlock something like this. I got double turn T2, got my 10 brutes into is stormfiend and left 1 at 1 wounds, from there the meteor fell on the only point that gave him the game, anywhere else and I would have won. Now that I know a bit more about skaven, should have gave him T2, and setup my entire army at 15 inch of him and steamroll him. But 1K pts I feel like destruction is tier 4 while at 2000 more like a tier 2 army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 1K pts I feel like destruction is tier 4 while at 2000 more like a tier 2 army. I always try to let my opponent take first turn. Everyone seems to set up their models as far forward as they can, and move up to charge their melee guys. With the potential of 2d6 movements (and +2 for some), 4 inch moves, and then the 2d6 charge moves, I find I can be in melee on the bottom of turn 1 consistently with my Ironjawz, and plan my army around that. I know Gore-gruntas aren't the greatest unit choice, but their high bravery and wound count make them excellent flank holders, and they can boogie right across the board, even in an Iron Fist Battalion. Skaven shooting is actually what I have the most trouble with as well. Really, any ranged Mortal Wound damage is hard on Ironjawz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
