Don't Wanderers hold close to a 50% win tournament win percentage?
Can't remember where I saw that but I pretty sure I saw that somewhere.

Well, I came last but had fun at the 1K tournament none-the-less.
Played three games vs. Fyreslayers, Bonesplitterz, and Stormcast.
Took a major loss to the Slayers, partly due to being unprepared for their new Tome buffs but partly due to poor deployment on my part. They chewed me up and that's that.
Took a major loss to Bonesplitterz,
Spoilerbut I think my opponent might have been cheating me on his saves. And the game was ugly all around so I'm just tossing the results from it.Took a minor loss to Stormcast. I was well-positioned to win the game but we ran out of time. This was the only game where I felt the true potential of my LoA list as I nailed all my buffs and showed decent tactical play. Taur'ruk alone wiped out a unit of Sequitors. And I rolled hot with my Daemonsmith -- Blood of Hashut is awesome!
With practice I can see this being a really strong army. I am pleased with them.

1K tournament is tomorrow, set in Ulgu, with hidden agendas. I'm feeling pretty solid about my list. Made a last minute decision to break-up my Fireborn to give me more movement around the board so I can compete for objectives faster.
Allegiance: Legion of Azgorh
Mortal Realm: Ulgu
Bull Centaur Taur'ruk (160)
- General
- Trait: Grotesque
- Artefact: Armour of Bazherak the Cruel
Daemonsmith (100)
- Darkforged Weapon
10 x Infernal Guard Ironsworn (90)
10 x Infernal Guard Ironsworn (90)
3 x K'Daai Fireborn (140)
3 x K'Daai Fireborn (140)
3 x K'Daai Fireborn (140)
Magma Cannon (140)
Total: 1000
Wounds: 65
No idea what armies I'll be facing. Their last tourney saw Bonesplitters, Stormcast, DoK, Nighthaunt, and Mixed Destruction.
This is my first ever matched play event. My goal is to learn, have fun, and not come last.
-
Further armor questions:
- If Taur'ruk wears the Armor of Bazherak, he can't also wear the Blackshard Armor, right?
- Is that also true for the Daemsonsmith's Ensorcelled Armor?

I might run Shartor in that case as another Tauruk and save the points. I feel he's better in larger games with Renders.
More Fireborn! Or Fireglaives!
Seems like the Ironsworn should be able to dish out some pain in return for suffering pain with the spiteshields.
The Cruel Armor is indeed a second save vs wounds and mortal wounds after your armor save (if needed). And it's per damage suffered, so if your armor fails vs a 3 damage attack, you take 3 separate additional 5+ saves. Or if you suffer 6 mortal wounds from an enemy lightning cannon for example, you take 6 separate 5+ saves.
Blackshard Armor is only ignoring regular wounds, not mortal wounds. Some might argue otherwise but in AoS, GW is pretty consistent about spelling out things that affect wounds vs mortal wounds, or things that affect both. Of course it would be nice if it was both for the Blackshard Armor; seems like Drazhoath used to have a 5+ vs wounds and mortal wounds before......
Thanks for the clarification. And I did indeed go with more Fireborn! (Not taking Fireglaives due to Ulgu shooting restrictions)

Wounds: 65Quick question: can someone clarify this Fireborn rule for me?
Ignore modifiers (positive or negative) when making save rolls for attacks that target this unit. That means they ignore rend, right? And their save roll is always 5+? (which is a weak save) -- do they wear the Blackshard Armor?
Is it worth dropping 1 unit of Fireborn to bring a Chaos Sorcerer Lord to buff the other 2 units?(never mind, puts me 20pts over) -
I've used sticky tack to hold the riders and wings in place for games but am thinking of switching to magnets.
-
Ungor Raiders are awesome. Especially if run in the Desolating Beastherd battalion. Ran 40 and shot my opponent off the table.

They better keep Draconis, I just put a 2K list together with an Archmage ally.
-
So I took this 1K list...
Mortal Realm: Ulgu
Bull Centaur Taur'ruk (160)
- General
- Trait: Grotesque
- Artefact: Armour of Bazherak the Cruel
Shar'tor the Executioner (220)
Daemonsmith (100)
- Darkforged Weapon
20 x Infernal Guard Ironsworn (180)
20 x Infernal Guard Ironsworn (180)
Magma Cannon (140)
Total: 980 / 1000
Wounds: 66...for a test-spin prior to my 1K tournament this weekend and had mixed results: I managed to table Sylvaneth in round 4 thanks to a double turn and my Magma Cannon rolling hot but I then got tabled by Nurgle in round 3, partly due to failed rolls but also due to being slow/unable to put any real hurt on his Blightlords.
As a result, am think of modifying my list to look like this:
Mortal Realm: Ulgu
Bull Centaur Taur'ruk (160)
- General
- Trait: Grotesque
- Artefact: Armour of Bazherak the Cruel
Shar'tor the Executioner (220)
Daemonsmith (100)
- Darkforged Weapon
10 x Infernal Guard Ironsworn (90)
10 x Infernal Guard Ironsworn (90)
3 x K'Daai Fireborn (140)
Magma Cannon (140)
Total: 940 / 1000
Extra Command Points: 1
Wounds: 55Am concerned with having less wounds. Should I drop Shar'tor and just run more Fireborn?
I also picked up two rules questions:
1) Artefact: Armour of Bazherak the Cruel -- is this a second save against all wounds or rolled on a per wound basis?
2) Does the Blackshard Armor count towards MW as well as regular ones? Wording is vague.

Anyone here taken their LoA into Ulgu? I'm wary of the shooting restrictions so thought I'd try this 1K list:
Mortal Realm: Ulgu
Daemonsmith (100)
- General
- Darkforged Weapon
- Trait: Grotesque
- Artefact: Armour of Bazherak the CruelBull Centaur Taur'ruk (160)
Shar'tor the Executioner (220)
20 x Infernal Guard Ironsworn (180)
20 x Infernal Guard Ironsworn (180)
Magma Cannon (140)
Total: 980
Wounds: 66I thought I'd plant my Daemonsmith behind the Magma Cannon, flank it with the two units of Ironsworn who would march up the board to take objectives while Shar'tor & Taur'ruk reap havoc among their heroes, etc. Maybe I should make Taur'ruk the general?

Agree, that he's fragile, but if the opponent concentrates on killing him, your other units should make it into CC....
I'd rather have him kill Shartor than my Taur'ruk General
Excellent point. Though at the point cost to field Shartor, I'd rather take more infantry or artillery.

I was planning on running the Executioner and Tauruk HQ
I'd be wary of taking Shar'Tor The Executioner. He can be pretty fragile and while his MW output is helpful, it is inconsistent. Tauruk tends to hit harder, more consistently. At least in my experience. I've only played him twice and both times, he was quickly killed cuz he stands out on the battlefield and will be immediately targeted by your opponent. He should have 10W at least, not 8.
EDIT~!: He is fun to paint tho

1x Daemonsmith, 10x Fireglaives, 1x Magma Cannon is a great start for an escalation league! Plant the smith behind the cannon to buff it while the Glaives advance and fire. As your points escalate, work towards the Blackshard Battalion.
Painting them is super-easy if you prime them black and base them red (or any other color you desire). Here's a photo of my red ones:
I plan to add some bronze highlights to their armor.

I think Dispossessed should have the ability to tunnel once per game in the Hero phase, moving a unit x number of inches across the table as a way to add movement.
The idea that they could disable scenery is cool too.

Seraphon & Beasts of Chaos represent!

I believe in the 80s there was a multitude of other smaller chaos gods, most of them just mentioned once or twice, here and there. Eventually they started focusing on the big four, and the others were forgotten. Could be interesting if Warcry dug into that.
Hashut~!

I had to promise myself, and my wife, that I wouldn't buy any more models for at least a year, which is fine. I have a lot of painting to do!
Haven't photographed it all but here is a small sample of what I've painted so far.

I think magma was mistaken with deathsrieker
That's correct. My mistake.

Quick Magma Cannon question: I know line-of-sight doesn't apply but how closely do my models actually have to be facing their target? Are there guidelines for this?
-
I was disappointed too. I think we'll be lucky to get the Tome/Terrain/Spells treatment this year.

Does....does that count as a battletome?
It has everything you need to run a matched play legal LoA army.
The allegiance abilities, artifacts & battalions are all excellent.
LoA will never be a top-tier army but this does make them decently competitive.
Some non-FW armies don't even have this stuff (ie. Gutbusters).
So, who does want Tomb Kings and Bretonnians back?

I voted Tomb Kings BUT only if they are completely re-designed from the ground up, which is unlikely to ever happen.
Also, the models are out there, they have warscrolls and points, just go play them if you like them.
