The Browplate is +1 Save and only a CP at the start of the First Turn.

I played my first two games with the new book last night and sadly have to agree with you. I love Mournfang but they just feel worse than all of the other options available. Their strength appears to be mobility but their faster base movement seems a lot less relevant now that everything else is moving that extra 3" for being Hungry. Only counting as 2 models for objectives despite the huge bases also means that they really struggle contesting objectives vs chaff.

Is it really worth going Boulderhead when you're already getting the second Mount Trait from your battalion?

So I'm 1 Start Collecting! away from running the following list: Allegiance: Ogor Mawtribes- Mawtribe: ThunderbelliesLeadersFrostlord on Stonehorn (400)- General- Trait: Storm Chaser - Artefact: Alvagr Rune-tokens - Mount Trait: Black ClatterhornHuskard on Stonehorn (320)- Blood Vulture- Artefact: Shatterstone - Mount Trait: Old GranitetoothBattleline4 x Mournfang Pack (280)- Gargant Hackers4 x Mournfang Pack (280)- Culling Clubs or Prey Hackers with Iron Fists4 x Mournfang Pack (280)- Culling Clubs or Prey Hackers with Iron FistsStonehorn Beastriders (300)BattalionsEurlbad (140)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 1Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 109 2 drop army with a focus on Mournfang for the extra chances at mortal wounds from the Battalion. They should have pretty good reach with run and charge near board edges, +1 charge from Huskard, +1 charge from Tribe. The unit with Gargant Hackers is just because that's how I've got them modeled, they'll probably be hanging out with the Frostlord focusing on taking down bigger threats. What do you guys think?

1960 for two sets of Goremond, Slaughtermaster, 12 Gluttons, 4 Ironguts & 2 Leadbelchers. You waste 1 artefact sadly

Thanks! I didn't think about Mournfang, do they get a bonus tusk attack too?

Just to double check before my tribes hit the table, if a Butcher casts Blood Feast on a unit of Gluttons they go up to 4 attacks with Clubs/Blades and 2 attacks with their Gulping Bites each right?

Is anyone else's app not allowing Mournfang as battleline?

The battleforce looks nice

Finally boys... Finally!

You can't take Warchanters in Beastclaw

That's the opposite of how it works, when you roll a 6 to save vs -1 rend you get a modified result of 5, 5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3 etc... To get a modified 6 vs -1 rend you would need to roll 7.

Surprising little, they fit quite nicely on the necks. I did the front two ridges on this one and one on another but other than that just filling a few small gaps. You do need a reasonable sized blob underneath as there's a big gap there though

Decided to do something a little different with my Troggs

Fun bit of fluff from the Orruk Warclans battletome:

Hi all, I'm a predominantly Beastclaw/Ogor/Gloomspite player and generally play Mixed Destruction due to the sad state of BCR but picked up the new Warclan book to try and expand my collection into Orruks. Reading through, Icebone seems like a really good fit thematically for my existing models but with the lack of Start Collecting box I'm a bit lost as to where to start or what to build towards. I'd like some blocks of Savage Orruks to use as battleline in Mixed but was wondering if someone could suggest a reasonable Icebone list? My group is quite competitive and my opponents are generally Nighthaunt, Nurgle, Idoneth & Seraphon if that helps.

Apologies if this sounds stupid I'm not overly familiar with Bonesplittez. I assume I'm missing something or changes are coming but isn't the Ethereal part of 'Strength of Purpose' kinda pointless with the faction having basically no access to Rend?

"Check back on Saturday the 5th of October to pre-order everything here – and stay tuned for more previews of Cities of Sigmar and Orruk Warclans throughout next week." Hopefully an interesting week ahead

Cheers for the input guys. I mostly play Mixed Destruction but love my 12man Ogor Blob. We're looking to try some smaller points games so I figured this would be the best place to ask for Ogor advice. Buying another box of 6 and building two command groups, one with each banner seems like a plan.

I'm curious, when playing lower point games and using MSU Ogor units what options do people take? Crusher/Bellower/Icon Bearer (in which case Banner or Skull?)? Pressumably in 6man units it's the above with one of each Icon Bearer and 2 normal Ogors? Also is it still generally preferable to ignore Iron Fists even in smaller numbers?

If the Butcher no longer had to be allied in and the Cauldron was changed to be a choice, the consistent +1 to hit on Mournfang might make them a lot more reasonable. If the Tyrants battleshock immunity affected Ogors instead of Gutbusters it might make a maxed out Deathstar unit of Mournfang an option. That's a lot of if's though. I'd settle for our Ironfists being changed to mortals on unmodified 6s to save for all Ogors with access to them though.

Still a work in progress, but my Butcher made from spare BCR start collecting parts

Cheers. The logic on the 6 Gore Gruntas was to try and maximize the spread/recipients of the Braggoth +1 Hit Buff. If I drop the Fungoid (to get below 1/4 ally limit) and the 3 GGs that gives enough room for 40 Grots and Arachnacauldron which does seems like a much more rounded list.

So with the point reduction I've been trying mess about with some pure BCR after a few months of playing Mixed Destruction and I was wondering if this list would be any good? The idea is using the Icebrow Hunter for cheap 3rd battle line/2nd Aretfact holder and then using the extra points to grab Fungoids for CP generation and Unbind. The group I play with are still slowly expanding the rules we use so we haven't started using Realm Artifacts yet which is a bit of a limiting factor. The other armies (in case it matters) are Nighthaunt, Idoneth Deepkin, Maggotkin of Nurgle & Seraphon.

Surely no change to Fungoid Shaman was the best possible outcome from this FAQ?
