  1. Hag probably won't even get point updates in 3.0. Which might actually her points finally feel fair.
  2. I wonder what the connection between them and Kragnos will be. I would not have connected them tbh.
  3. I bought him. Skipped his book. Banking on his stonks going up in Kruel Boyz release. If not then he's some glue (hehehe) I can use to build new destro armies with without buying whole 2k armies at once.
  4. So far the leaks confirm that he gets NO faction and NO additional rules in his own book haha.
  5. Even if Kragnos gets something from the Kruel boyz release GW really borked themselves by not releasing that info RIGHT NOW. Because they are going to lose a lot of sales just on the point leaks alone.
  6. That only makes me want to skip kragnos more for now and focus on new faction.
  7. There is a rumor going around that Kragnos will not getting a faction in the new book. Just his warscroll... that's it.
  8. 760 pts was him laying on the ground bleeding. Having no subfaction is the killshot.
  9. I'm not 100% sure they did this for the other BR books since as a destro player I skipped all of them. But did they review rules for those leading up to pre-order? I feel it's kinda weird that they released his full warscoll but not a peep about his own faction.
  10. Just baseline Warscroll as is. Anyone here even thinking about taking Kragnos?
  11. 690 is a mind boggling number. More expensive than Teclis... 1vs1 Kragnos might demolish him but in a battle Teclis is just so much better. If Kragnos gave his magic immunity to other destruction units things might change. His broken realms rules need to be BROKEN for him to be worth 690. Which I don't think it will. People already brought up the point of him not fitting in a SoB army. Gordrakk does fit pts wise but can't be allied in... so why can't Kragnos at least be..? It just... I don't know... Why market him as being able to fit into ANY Destro army without actually making sure he can lol. I'm tempted to skip him and just get a mega tbh.
  12. Only good thing we have vs Tzeentch is that 12 gluttons can (if buffed) punch through 50 wounds of pinks in one go.
  13. I went for a green midtone for all of them. But different accents when I want to.
  14. Ever since the crisis paper Magic The Gathering has practically died off and went digital you can tell Wizards has been a lot faster with banning and balancing cards. Warhammer has the same problem. Balancing around paper is really hard. By the time one book is out and balanced it almost automatically pushes other books down. Powercreep is just harder to deal with when you are tied to analog. A lot of ways to deal with this problem would negatively impact the relevancy of battletomes. And thus drive down sales. So it won't happen. Maybe the only possible way that could both make GW money and actively smooths out a meta is a GHB that actually matters. If you're gonna release that once a year also work on it for a year. By the time summer comes around you really should have a good idea of what you want.
  15. I haven't gotten my Gloomspite on the table yet. But is a massive low drop (with battalions) grot spam not even viable? Multiple ways to block LoS against shooting (sporefanatics, endless spells). -1 to shooting spell. Teleports to get your grots on objectives. On paper it looks like an army that should be able to compete.
  16. I got my Dankhold boi! Excited to paint him up. Also just realized that Rockguts WITH discount and are now just as expensive buying Fellwaters from GW here. This actually makes the list I want to play a little more complex. The basics for my 2k List are: Hag, Troggboss, 9 Rockguts. Megamob Battalion. So 1210 pts. Now I'm deciding what to do with the other two battleline spots. I kinda want another 9 Rockguts. Or 6/9/12 Fellwaters. Also considering adding some Stabbas as a screen. Because with the weapon range on Rockguts they can easily hit over the screen. Also feel like a Fungoid is almost mandatory but 90 pts is hard to open up. So many options! But with the cost of the hag it's also kinda limited. I also fear for the wounds I tend to end up on. Between 120 and 140 wounds. I really like Destruction armies to be higher than that since we universally have ****** saves. I also feel Rockguts are better situated in the current meta or am I wrong?
  17. Just watched a 2k battlereport of SoB vs BCR. Not going to spoil anything but I was most surprised by SoB shooting and how much 35 wounds on a 4+ model really matters. Way more than you think. They also don't degrade as hard as I thought. The combat damage was lackluster as expected. But they can grind.
  18. I still have a feeling that 3 units of 3 Manchrushers + a Warstomper might be okay. People thought BCR would suck with the new book when it first came out. Not enough power projection. What you have with the setup I mentioned above is basically an army of distraction carnifexes. Going maximum smash might be the way to go. BCR are a lot more tanky and way faster so they play the objective game easier. Doing 2/3 dmg on all attacks vs most frontlines is devastating if you get a relatively healthy unit of 3 in. The Warstomper is okay. But I feel he's just there to provide run & charge to the MC's. Don't get me wrong. It might be extremely boring gameplay wise. More so than BCR. And you will absolutely lose a full unit of MC's before the second round. But out of all the builds this is the only one feel has any staying power. It's also the most expensive $$$ wise.. But okay. Edit: Actually.. Not so sure. Did a dice test of a unit of 3 MC with support vs 1 unit of 60 stabbas with support. And while they did 35 wounds to the grots. They also lost a MC on the hit back. 1 CP to have the grots not run away and it would turn out unfavorably for the MC's...
  19. Can someone please explain to me in detail why the battalion ability is so good? Troggoth shooting is an afterthought. And Troggoths don't get anything special from charging. Nor do they easily play into activation wars. So even if you retreat and charge multiple units they still have to wait their turn. I want to like it! I feel I'm missing something.
  20. I was considering them because they come in a box of two now. And I wanted to paint something else than green somewhere this year 😅. But yeah they are still horrible. Maybe decent distraction carnifexes? But the Hag already does that.
  21. Sigh. Of course they can't be :(. Well I'm just going to get 1 Troggboss then. With the hag added I can't even add two Aleguzzlers (which is maybe a good thing). I also thought there was a way to make dankholds battleline. But they don't even have that.
  22. If he had Gitz keyword he would have been worth his 500 points. So many great buffs for him in the army with the right spells. And he could easily step over his Grot screen. -1 to hit against missle weapons. Teleport.... UGH!!!
  23. I think my wallet can handle that (still need loonshrine and troggboss). How are Dankholds fairing? Running them in 3's would get you 2 back. But they are still quite expensive. Although they are cool models!
