  1. These points changes have really taken the wind out of my sails for starting a Maggotkin Path to Glory army.  The 600pt force I've been working on (Lord of Blights, 2 x 5 Blightkings, Sorcerer) now stands at a whopping 795 pts!

    That's okay, I guess I can just add another Rotbringers unit and start at 1000 points. Wait, what do you mean none of them will fit in...

  2. Just wanted to give a quick warning for all of the folks with new KO armies this week: be careful when assembling your skywardens and endrinriggers.

    On two variants, the front and back of the torsos get assembled and then the legs get attached afterwards, but for the third the legs have to be attached to the back of the torso before you put the front on.  If you're gluing all four pieces together at the same time, this probably won't be an issue.  But if you glue the front and back of the third variant together and then leave the glue to dry, you'll find that the legs just don't fit quite right...

    (And yes, if I'd just followed the printed instructions more carefully this wouldn't have happened...  🙄)

    Actually, also @DrJekyll325 , I've just had another look at Ironskull's Boyz and it turns out that the only one that has a use in Warcry is Bonekutta. Gurzag and Basha have the wrong weapons to match any of the Ardboyz, and Hakka is not a Brute, which is the only 2-choppa Warcry orruk.

     

    Bummer.

    Seems like it should be a pretty simple conversion to snip off one of Basha's Smashas and swap it for a Choppa from Gurzag or Hakka, no?

    There are some good battle reports on YouTube. Like you, I'm using Warcry as motivation to get my Iron Jaws going again, but after several games with other warbands where the benefit of numbers has been demonstrated clearly, I think I'll need to drop a brute or two in order to get some black orcs in the list.

    Good feedback.  Looks like I should pick up an Ironskull's Boyz box to add in to the mix.

    I'm not 100% sure if this is true or not, but I've seen people saying online that some portion of the terrain set up cards you get in each of the Ravaged Lands sets require you to have both that set *and* the starter set terrain so you can mix them together. 

    I can confirm that 12 of the 36 battleplan cards in the Shattered Stormvault set include terrain from the starter set as well, but that still leaves 24 battleplans you can play straight out of the box.

  6. I picked up the Ironjawz cards last night, and I think they're going to provide the impetus to finish up the Brutes that I've had languishing on my hobby table for a while.  I'll start off building this 990-point warband and see how it does:

    • Brute Boss with Boss Klaw and Smasha   (250 pts.)
    • Brute with Gore-Choppa   (200 pts.)
    • 3 x Brutes with two Brute Choppas   (180 pts. each)

    Anyone played any games with an all-Brute list yet?

  7. I hope we see more mercenary companies added in the future that use "AoS-era" models.  Am I right in thinking it's just the Greyfyrd Lodge one that uses newer models out of this first batch?

    Any cool conversion ideas for the Pistoliers and Outriders figures?  I know I've got a couple of boxes of those collecting dust.

    I'd better get me a copy of Forbidden power.

    Flesh Eater Courts mercanries? awesome I needed some cleanup crew to preprocess the mushroom fertilizer

    Looks like the GHB 2019 will be reprinting the FEC mercenary rules, so you might not need the big boxed set after all.

  9. Will we be getting a dedicated forum for Warcry analogous to the Underworlds forum?

    I'm so excited for the new models that I literally applauded today's trailer for The Splintered Fang models.

    Sylvaneth is one of those armies i keep looking at but never pulled the trigger. as for Gloomspite Gitz, i already have a Spiderfang army and squigs was the next area i wanted to explore with them. this box grabbed my attention because would have been useful to both those ideas, unfortunately it also delays my plans to complete my Flesh-Eaters which i was hoping to do before i started any other projects, and even then Fyreslayers was supposed to be next in the que

    I relate strongly to this paragraph!  😄

  11. Apologies if my complaining about the stock levels diverted us from a positive discussion about the boxed set.

    I'm looking forward personally to getting a good start on small forces for both factions:

    • Gloomspite Gitz - 590 pts
      • Loonboss on Giant Cave Squig - 110 pts
      • Fungoid Cave-Shaman - 90 pts
      • 21 x Squig Herd - 210 pts
      • 10 x Squig Hoppers - 180 pts

     

    • Sylvaneth - 600 pts.?
      • Arch Revenant - 100 pts?
      • Ylthari's Guardians - 180 pts
      • 10 x Tree-Revenants - 160 pts
      • 10 x Tree-Revenants - 160 pts

    What is everyone else planning?  Any suggestions on the next 400 points for either force above?

  12. Looks like my FLGS is only getting one copy, despite three different people pre-ordering it.  I'm lucky that I was the first to pre-order so I'll get the one copy, but a bit disappointed that I won't get two boxes like I wanted.

    How can GW possibly be underestimating the demand by this much again and again?
