    Is there any place for SKARBRAND or any other sort of Bloodthirster as a centerpiece in a mortals style list as the main anti-monster guy? Like going against the Maw-Krusha of Ironjawz or whatever?
  2. Ravinsild
    I used to use his previous ability to get hero hunting with my Skulltake Battalion so I could proc the double damage and mortal wounds more often. But now...yeah...I mean he's fine...but... eh.

    Mostly the appeal for Bloodforged was that it makes my Wrathmongers feel like Khorne Berzerkers from 40k haha. As for the Skullfiend Tribe, every single army has heroes and you just need to be within 12'' to get re-rolls. You don't even have to be targeting them. Armies like the Undead who always seem to have 4 or more Heroes, and other such armies this would just be massive 12'' bubbles of re-rolling 1's to hit around the table haha.
  4. Ravinsild
    Is the Mighty Lord of Khorne on foot still considered pretty bad overall?

    Things that stick out to me as interesting are definitely the Skullfiend Tribe and the Goretide. Battalions would be the Bloodforged, Skulltake, Slaughterborn and Bloodmad Warband. I also have SKARBRAND and 1 IR Bloodthirster but IDK if I can use them by themselves as I have no other demons. I have way too many mortals. Guess I'll just wait to get my book and comb through it and see what I can come up with.

    I don’t know how I feel. I want the Battletome in person to really read it all a few times and let it sink in. I was always a huge massive fan of the Skulltake Battalion. I may try to once again go down the Skulltake Battalion and Skullfiend Tribe route but part of me thinks Skullreapers were gutted and the Khorgoraths lost their 9 attacks (3 from the Skulltake bonus, 1 from Bloodsecrator) and they aren’t mortals or demons at this time so I don’t know if they can be buffed up again. I kind of want to make a SKARBRAND list but I only have SKARBRAND and 1 Insensate Rage Bloodthirster I don’t have any other demons at this time. I’m not sure what to do. Skullreapers were my rock and my go to choice and my favorite unit. Im feeling a little lost but I guess I’ll see if I can make it work I guess.

    You are. Use it at the hero phase. Then after movement phase etc.... at the beginning of combat phase count up all models in range of the ability.

    Yep that’s a list I can run. Or the same thing but Ardfist I reckon. Doesn’t really matter to me. I just like hitting things super hard in melee. Ironjawz used to be good at that a few months back. Death is not good at that and believe me I tried really hard. At best I could do some decent alphastrikes with Black Knights but Ironjawz suits my raw aggressive playstyle much better. I could never figure out the attrition game.

    Well as of now I personally own 4 Weirdknob Shaman but that’s about it. So that more or less settles it for me. Sounds like I need to transition into a Ardfist Battalion. I only own 9 Gore Gruntas or 3 sets of 3 and I don’t think it’s enough for a Gorefist. Also I don’t own Gordrakk yet only 1 generic Megaboss on Maw-Krusha so it would seem finding a decent Ardfist list is the way to go for me for now. Sad to see the fall of Ironfist and Bloodtoofs. I really enjoy hyper aggressive turn 1 Charge playstyle. I’m planning on expanding my Ironjawz collection more though so it may be viable to run Gorefist in the future. With what I’ve got I have 1) MBMK 1) Footboss 4) Warchanter 4) Weirdknob Shaman 15) Brute dual wielding 20) Brutes with 2 handed axes 60) ArdBoyz with a solid mix of Big Choppas and dual wielding but no shields 9) Gore-Gruntas with Pig Iron Choppas

    Honestly I play Ironjawz and hated Death to avoid the whole horde army thing so that list would be my nightmare. @Luzgurbel Megaboss on Maw-Krusha
  11. Ravinsild
    Well I’ve got 60 ArdBoyz and I like them so maybe Ardfist is the way to go? It’s interesting to see how Ironfist has fallen from grace. It had a ton of focus on it back when AoS 2.0 was new haha. Ardfist was panned as garbage because of the only once thing and ArdBoyz were “worthless” because suddenly they couldn’t save versus mortal wounds. My how times have changed. Man I wasted over a thousand dollars on Death and had absolutely no fun but I always have a blast when playing my Ironjawz even if they are objectively worse as far as power level or whatever goes. Also not too many people play the meta in my area. There’s a bunch of Khorne, Slaneesh, Tzeentch, SCE a few Idoneth and Sylvaneth and some other random stuff with quite a few fellow Destruction players and a super good Nurgle player or two.

    So we are looking at: - Adding a mortal wound save artifact to the Mawkrusha Boss - Removing Megaboss on Foot and/or adding a Thermalrider Cloak? - Removing a Warchanter and/or buffing up a unit to benefit more generously from the buffs - Removing the Fungoid Cave Shaman and Cogs. All of that makes sense to me. I have no objections. The question becomes then what do I do? Add ArdBoyz? Do I even want a Wizard literally at all? Is a Weirdknob worth bringing total or should I just leave him at home? I have some thoughts/justifications for some of the above. 1) Megaboss’s re-rolls to Brutes I find personally invaluable, considering sometimes I just need to clear chaff so they don’t get Duff Up Da Big Ones buff to re-roll failed hits. Plus Waaagh! Plus a cool model heh. 2) A Wizard seems like a good idea just to at least be able to deny a clutch spell (Vanhel’s Danse Macabre or whatever) hopefully and to dispel endless spells and for maps that wizards count as scoring on. 3) I’ve heard the 10 strong units of Brutes aren’t very good with the two-handed weapons these days and it’s all about MSU but nonetheless I have 2 squads made up in this way as well. My new list would be something similar to something like this I suppose? Allegiance: IronjawzMortal Realm: AqshyLeadersMegaboss on Maw-Krusha (440)- Choppa and Rip-tooth fist- Artefact: Ignax's Scales Orruk Megaboss (140)- Artefact: Thermalrider Cloak Orruk Warchanter (80)Orruk Warchanter (80)Battleline10 x Orruk Ardboys (160)- 8x Pair of Choppas or Smashas- 3x Big Choppas10 x Orruk Ardboys (160)- 8x Pair of Choppas or Smashas- 3x Big Choppas5 x Orruk Brutes (180)- Pair of Brute Choppas- 1x Gore Choppas5 x Orruk Brutes (180)- Pair of Brute Choppas- 1x Gore Choppas6 x Orruk Gore Gruntas (280)- Pig-iron ChoppasBattalionsBloodtoofs (120)Ironfist (180)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 2Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 133

    After half a year and much speculation on the viability of lists, experiments with Bloodtoofs and Ironfist and so forth is there a consensus on best list? I know there’s been a lot of toss up between ArdBoyz being worthless and/or great. I haven’t played my Ironjawz probably since August so I’m slightly out of the loop. Tried out Death and found them to be not to my taste and was missing the simple Ork smash and bash style. Have I missed any major developments? Last I heard something like this is one of the best lists: Allegiance: IronjawzMortal Realm: UlguLeadersMegaboss on Maw-Krusha (440)- General- Choppa and Rip-tooth fist- Trait: Ironclad - Artefact: Miasmatic Blade Orruk Warchanter (80)Orruk Warchanter (80)Orruk Megaboss (140)- Artefact: Metalrippa's Klaw Fungoid Cave-Shaman (80)- AlliesBattleline5 x Orruk Brutes (180)- Pair of Brute Choppas- 1x Gore Choppas5 x Orruk Brutes (180)- Pair of Brute Choppas- 1x Gore Choppas5 x Orruk Brutes (180)- Pair of Brute Choppas- 1x Gore Choppas3 x Orruk Gore Gruntas (140)- Pig-iron Choppas3 x Orruk Gore Gruntas (140)- Pig-iron ChoppasBattalionsBloodtoofs (120)Ironfist (180)Endless SpellsChronomantic Cogs (60)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 2Allies: 80 / 400Wounds: 112

    Chaos vs what?
  15. Ravinsild
    I’ve had some success with it personally. I adore the Skulltake Battalion.
  16. Ravinsild
    What’s amazing is that I have ALL of these things... except 40 marauders... Oh I also don’t have a demon prince atm. I have nothing from generic chaos/slaves to darkness yet, everything is wholly Khorne.
  17. Ravinsild
    Well you guys raise good points and originally I did in fact have a Juggerlord. Theres pros and cons to all of it. It’s difficult to decide. The problem is who I cut for the 3rd Priest. The Bloodstoker is so useful for getting the Skullreapers where they need to go and helping them survive rerolling wounds of 1. On the other hand the Juggerlord adds in general +1 to wound rolls which is also super good for them. However another Slaughterpriest is another buff and another source for mortal wounds. Bloodreavers would drop my count, but the Khorgorath is just straight up good. In my experience. Losing an Aspiring Deathbringer is another +1 attack my Blood Warriors or Skullreapers aren’t getting as well. Its like all super good advice, but the Mighty Lord also buffs charging so he’s really useful and well Killy too. I don’t know what to do

    Is this about the standard Gore Pilgrims with Mortals only list? I hvent got any flesh hounds or bloodletters at all.

    No, that is the artifact. However if you bring a Battalion you can have 2. So you can bring a totem for Bloodsecrator and another on whoever else.
  20. Ravinsild
    All of my armies are based only on models I think look cool in both 40k and AoS which basically means I’m hamstringing myself in a really competitive environment and it super sucks.
  21. Ravinsild
    I would green stuff spewing diarrhea from my clown ass army. On every single one of them.
  22. Ravinsild
    So. I was watching Let’s Hang Out And Paint on the Warhammer Twitch channel and I asked them if they had heard of your podcast. They said yes, but I think they confused you with something else, so I followed up with, “are their typical GW employee impressions accurate?” And they said they didn’t know, but they’d have to watch. So hopefully we got Duncan and Peachy and friends to actually listen to the podcast. I pray.
  23. Ravinsild
    Hahahaha that sounds actually amazing. Bronzed Flesh stacks right?
  24. Ravinsild
    Well I have 60+ Bloodreavers and 73 Blood Warriors.
  25. Ravinsild
    There’s only one problem with that. Would it work with... 30 Bloodreavers instead? Lol
