I hope the short story “the clobbering” is a hint that we are getting a new ironjawz unit. His challenger, Grakka the Spear, was springing up and down in the mud on his long, nasty-clawed feet. He was taller than Bokkrog, rangy in the arms, all gristle and sinew and with no good eating on him. Probably weighed about half as much as him, too, especially with the basher-armour covering Bokkrog’s body from head to toe. But his opponent was younger, full of the fire of confidence, and he had a mad toothy grin that Bokkrog didn’t like one bit. Maybe this one would slip his jagged spear blade through a gap in his armour and end it all. Or maybe not A faster unit of infantry that does something different would be very welcome

Got it in one Hankster I would wait for update which is bound to be coming I would guess later this year !

I ran one alongside a Mawkrusha in a game against skaven between them they deleted a unit of 30 stormvermin in 2 turns of combat I found he was my MVP his base helped protect the crusha from being enveloped and his CA is so much more reliabl I ended up using every turn and it optimised both monsters as it buffers each weapon option they ran up the flank turn 1 deleted the unit by end of 2 and The rest of my army (ardboyz n brutes) had marched up the centre engaged so they came in on the flank and basically won me the game. I have spent considerable time and effort converting an old azrag wyvern n put a warchanter on board so will be upset if he losses his matched play rules !

This is one of the wackiest ideas I’ve seen it’s utterly ridiculous!! N therefore moonshines in grotty excellence can’t wait to see it finished 😂

Please do share all my old goblins and squigs are on 20mm square still and light he thought of rebasing fills me with dread, although once the book lands its gone no to happen

Scabnoze that post epitomises why I have loved my O+G armies ever since 3rd edition and brings back some fun memories of my own God they can be frustrating and I have tried other more predictable armies ( looking at you stunties ) but nothing gives you the satisfaction of the odd time it all goes perfect with the green lads hope this book continues the tradition of wacky, powerful and utterly unreliable madness

I’m thinking that looking at what’s been shown so far for the gitz ( magic, monsters, cheep chaff, glass hammer units etc ) 20 ardboyz and a warchanter to buff for 400 pts May make the perfect ally choice. Also as I’m sitting on plenty of gobbos trolls n squigs it might not be as expensive as I was fearing the book n spells should be enough to learn the army n not altogether abandon the IJ’s

Hell yes I couldn’t agree more it feels like the game is finding the sweet spot of keeping us old buggers happy and still moving the game forward, hallelujah!!!

Grot Squig Knights it’s possibly the single most cool thing to come out of the warped minds of the GW design team since the chaos toilet loving these models I may even start playing the game again

Just woke up on Christmas Day and there’s new goblins under the tree happy Crimbo all you fellow fans of the green gitz let’s hope it’s a cracking 2019 for our lads

Giant squig 100% confirmation that Gobbla is in the mend after that nasty incident with them rats (read it here first)

Hey Aelfric don’t know if this is any help but converting a warchanter into a wyvern warboss was fairly simple only real faff was hus hands as warchanter has forearm attached to hand and brutes weapons don’t, i think you could make a great footboss out of him

The bad moon rises again ? couldnt be happier I am just praying that my 200+ models all remain playable and get some wonderful new re-enforcements and a wonderful rewrite of there rules ? if I was wishing for the cherry on top, skarsnik retuning on a giant gobbla blasting things with his trident would be amazing. And as they talked about the souls of heroes from the past being released in malign portents not an impossible concept ? Now we need the old enemies back, bring on battletome rat and stuntie so we can all go toe to toe again.

I hope this is true ? The final battle at 8 peaks described in the end times book was absolutely amazing (apart from gobbla dying brought a tear to my eye) it would be awesome to get some characters we connect to n love in the new law

As a long time O&G player (3rd edition) I feel massively disconnected from the direction AoS has taken over the last couple of years, it’s not just the complete lack of any love for the whole destruction faction but the massive imbalance in the release schedule The beauty of WFB was there was no dominant faction (release wise) and although you may wait years for an army book at least the rest of the buggers did to ! Its not moaning to let your voice be heard if we followed that theory there’d be no generals handbook or points values I’d love to see a box set with no stormcast or chaos give me destruction vs free people

I’m with Greasygeek don’t want deleting, love the forum. However as a destruction player GW are giving us nothing to talk about apart from throwing the odd morsel among the mass of stormcast n chaos releases it’s getting ridiculous and to be frank disheartening. IJ’s should be right up there but are literally being left to rot!

I had my 1st game of AoS 2 last weekend it was a friendly game against Skaven list led by Thranquil (big dude with flame throwers) 30 stormvermin, storm fiends, weapon tens and lots of clan rats I ran MBMK, 2x5 brutes 1 x 20 ardboyz 2x3 pigs, warboss on wyvern, warchanter, Weirdnob, Grot Shaman on Wolf, cogs and swords had a blast against a great opponent and got a nice victory, mainly coz I deployed 1st and won priority for a double turn 2 but in a nutshell ardboyz and pigs tied up centre and left flank and Brutes, MBMK, wyvern, gobo n warchanter went tearing into the right got a luckyT1 charge with 1x5 brutes but stormvermin (bloody on both sides but goldtooth saved brute boss) T2 priority for me gobo cast swords on warboss killed him outright +5 against chaos for 20 pts is awesome, stormvermin no longer buffed MBMK + Wyvern tag team them into rat heaven also got foot off for a 2 stomp 7 wound on giant rat flame thrower (very gratifying) his reply ardboyz cut in half 2d6 mw from big guy hurts, MBMK down to 4 wounds n stranded out of position T3 priority again (gork was smiling on me) brutes charge Tranquil wyvern supports and he is kaput, storm fiends finish off ardboyz my opponent calls it as I have burnt 2 of his objectives and all of mine are intact My first impression of IJ in v2 pigs- fairly gutless apart from a meat shield 2 turns n killed about 10 clan rats ardboyz- loved them +5 charge with cogs will catch people out they can dish it out and take it in return brutes- they dish out a massive amount of damage however without gold tooth both units would have run Wyvern- awesome support for MBMK fast and punchy and fairly survivable used his Waagh over generals as no rolling and I kept my brutes close gobo on wolf- worth taking as he is rapid can get exactly where u need him and that swords moment was A+ MBMK- a tank nuff said Weirdnob- my 1st successful foot ? Warchanter- a must support character Like I said the dice gods smiled on me but Zambo’s rampage has got off to a successful start

Another question can allied hero’s now take artifacts ? Hoping my wyvern warboss might get a run out this edition 6/8 attacks boosted would be nice

Hi guys can someone please clarify a rules query for me looking at allies for my IJ n thinking 40 orks with shield n choppa will be a great tool to hold objective and act as bodies foe Weirdnob to blast foot However is the new Ally limit 1unit in 4 (think I have read this somewhere?) or 20% of points as that’s what the Azyr app is showing. would appreciate a heads up cheers ?

Hey Mortal great looking army love your colour scheme n welcome to another warboss. I have no idea regarding the new spells as I haven’t seen any of the new stuff but I’m interested in knowing how you find running bloodtoofs

? loving the dabs

Great to see you getting some victories in with the boyz pictures of your great models are always going to be a bonus especially if the guys you play against have equally beautiful armies

Rock lobbers look awesome n like tuorgustavo says it’s a motivation to see your work. My stuff ain’t up to the standards of yours but I’ll try n finish Mawkrusha this weekend n post a few pickys of Zambo’s Mob

Only joined TGA community recently but been kinda addicted to visiting the destruction pages for a while just thought I’d thank Chris and Sangfroid for helping re invigorating my hobby bug with your great posts. My ironjawz are almost finished after a year of gathering dust let’s hope GW throw us a bone in 18 and it gets you guys to smash face again
