  1. Being very fast and have ordered 2 starters for swampy orruk boyz. Definetely, imbalance in starter set in point cost it is nothing compared to veeery bad warscroll for hobbygrots and their non-battleline role. Hope they will get point reduce and generally KRB t oget more special rules. Hope for some synergy with BW and IJ. Thinking of fun with 2 mawkrushas with swampy boyz...

  3. Hi again, Ol'Frosty here!

    Played 2 last games today (tournament form previous post)

    - 1st vs Skaven thing-thing 15-0

    Skaven list: big pack of jezails, 2 warplightning canons, 6 stormfiends, pack of stormvermins, 2 packs of clanrats, 2 small warlocks, 1 big warlock with rocket (maybe missed smth but those were a core of the army). 1st turn mine - successful charge with all i've got (chronomatic cogs + winter + amulet + command ability to charge reroll = Hello guys, i'm in your deployment! 😃 Killed from charge almost everything, 2nd turn win

    - 2nd vs Tzeench mortals 15-0

    Tzeench guys (fun roster i think): Deamon, gauntsummoner, traumaturge, small caster, chaos lord on maunt, 10 riders of chaos, 20-30 mortals, pack of 6 flamers, shrine, endless spells (pendulum, mirrors). 1st turn is mine - winter (4 times in 4 games in a row i've got needed result on the table 😃 ) So, what to say - 1st turn mine, all charged successfully - second turn wipeout. MK voice: Flawless victory.

     

    All in all 8th place from 30-man.

    Next time will try something new (tired from Braggoth). Lucky charges  never be always 😃

  4. Hi guys! Vlka Fenrika etc 😃

    I've been participating at the local 30-man tournament with BCR+Fungogobbo, trying to test own might and skills.

    So decided to go with maybe classical BCR list:

    ======================================================

    Points - 2240/2250

    Braggoth Vardruk (420) Frostlord on Stonehorn
    - General
    - Command Trait : Everwinter's Master - Artefact : Gryph-feather Charm

    Huskjarl Baran'dur (340) Huskard on Stonehorn
    - Blood Vulture
    - Artefact : Ice Mammoth Skull Plate

    Razzek Da Mushruum (90) Fungoid Cave-Shaman - Allies

     

    Olf Pack (320) 4 x Mournfang Pack - Gargant Hackers

    Jag Pack (160) 2 x Mournfang Pack - Gargant Hackers

    El Cabanieros Uno (140) 3 x Orruk Gore Gruntas - Pig-iron Choppas

    El Cabanieros Dos (140) 3 x Orruk Gore Gruntas - Pig-iron Choppas

    Bjolk und Jolk (340) Thundertusk Beastriders

    Braggoth's Beast Hammer (230)

    Chronomantic Cogs (60)

    ======================================================

    Tourney points system is:

    - Primary points for major victory (15 points) - if You win major You can't get secondary points

    - If You lose - you can achieve secondary points (up to 11)

    1st day summary:

    -first match vs Nighthaunt army 15-5 win

    Opponent: 40 little towels (5+), 30 towels with scythes, some banshees, Kurdos, Olydner, 2 guys with Lanterns (aka Green Lantern Say hello to Ryan), Guys on horse with blade and vampire lord on mount. Was succesfull my first turn charge - killed 38 towels on charge with lord and husk, 25 scythes and vampire + banshees with snowball. Further there was only funplay and drinking beer with opponent. Easy

    - second match vs Nurgle Skittles 2-15 lose

    Opponent: 3 GUO (WTF?), 60 poxies, 3 flies, 1 scriver (dunno how that guys is calling), 5 blight knights on foot and a tree.

    I went 1st - charged and killed everything except 3 flies and 3 GUO, and after those 3 big skittle's guys killed everything... I was demotivated... Didn't expect such fat power from GUOs..

    Tomorrow 2 more matches - goal is to go TOP10

    Yeah the Battleshock is always a problem for them.  If you took say 60 plus a Fungoid as allies (350 points all up), that 60 block could be in peril turn one against an Alpha Strike, because you wouldn't have accrued any Command Points (unless you have a Batallion). 

    But then again, it means your opponent is pumping their output into a few hundred points of Grots instead of your big lads.  Don't forget that when the first Grot falls, they are on Bravery 9 (4 + 5 extra for 50+ models), so your opponent would have to kill quite a few before it really became an issue.

    And as terrible as their attacks are, 180 shooting attacks can be vital against armies like Khorne where you really want output from other phases (and they have average to bad armour saves).  

    I think they are a really solid tool in a Stonehorn-based army in particular.  Not auto include, but viable.

    You've mentioned 60 grots - how much and how many grot packs with fungi are optimal? 1 pack of 60 + shaman? or?

    If you're going Mixed (which you'd have to, to bring Moonclan into the conversation) then I'd say that Gitmob archers backed up by a Gitmob Shaman are the best.  350 for the package and it's a really solid Battleline unit.

    If you're looking for Beastclaw allies then I do think Gnoblars are a really useful tool.  Most games I think you'll want to start them at the back so they don't get under your feet, and they can run onto objectives later on once there isn't much of either army on the table.  In some games of course they will be a useful screen against the Alpha strike.

    Found 80 gnoblars at my bitz box - was kinda surprized ? During AoS 1.0 never used gnoblars as a ally - only butcher. In new AoS 2.0 do you think usual gobbos with fungiman will do the game? What about their moral etc? As I saw - there is now changes in battleshock phase

    Do you think the cave shaman is a better choice than a butcher?  

    Thematically, I'd probably take a butcher unless I had at least one unit of some sort of grots. 

    I think yes - at least at this conceipt of list "Charge or Lose" ?
