I think the best is the second, with some tweaks. For instance, the FL I would put him better in a Stonehorn, giving him an insane damage output. Another option is a Hunter, general, with some puppies, that gives you more board control.

Thanks! Should I keep the Gryph-feather Charm or replace it i f I use the Stonehorn?

yep, and maybe the Leadbelchers. If the don't move they make D6 attack each... (but unfortunately the range is just 12")

Thing is, every time I use Leadbelchers, even with above ability, they are very unreliable. I find that you need them in huge units to be good, and by that point its not worth the price.

this is just my guess but he probably loadout the maneaters with all pistol (since the warscroll isn't clear on the unit loadout) and had the maneater fire 3 shots per round at something

Gotcha. Personally, I've never found any shooting by any kind of ogor model except Thundertusks to be good.

Tyrant, Great Gut Gouger, Gyrstrike, Wild Fury

Troggoth Hag

Butcher with Cauldron

3 Ogor Bulls with two weapons

3 Ogor Bulls with two weapons

6 Ogor Bulls with two weapons

6 Ironguts

3 Maneaters

40 Gnoblar (grots)

it was a 19 man tournament, may not be the most stacked one but still winning 5 games is an amazing feat for Gutbuster

That's great! The only that surprises me there is the Maneaters. I've always thought they were overpriced. Is this the case or am I missing something?

Yeah, they give you some more bodies... but at that point, you might as well go General Destruction.

BCR new tome will prob be coming sometime this year. GW is on pace to update everyone. If it happens, they will hopefully redo ALL the battalions and nearly all the warscrolls. lol. Its a fun army, just not a competitive one at the moment.

Hopefully, this will change. The "fun factor" just can't be beat with the Gutbusters.

Nice job! What place were you in the rankings?

In my humble opinion the Mournfangs are over priced, if you don't use any battalion where are required like Eurlbad or Braggoth's it's better to left them out. 

This is my favourite Beastclaws list:

Huskard on Thundertusk (Everwinter Master) 360

Frostlord on Stonehorn 420 (Ethereal Amulet) 

Frostlord on Stonehorn 420

Fungoid Cave Shaman 90

3 x Yethees

3x Yethees

3x Yethees

60x Grots (Gutbusters) 

Mork's Mighty Mushroom 80

 

The Fungoid is essential to cast the Mushroom and to generate Command Points. 

The Grots are very very useful to keep objectives. 

Honestly, I never considered putting in Grots. I always focused on things with maximum killing potential, and the Grots never popped into my head.

Come to think of it, I don't think of allies often. Except the Fungoid, which I try to put in every Destruction list that I make.

You can use them as battleline with an Thundertusk (Frostlord or Huskard) as General, but you have to use a couple of Stonehorns and 40/60 grots to tank the enemy attacks.

Remember that they don't need to charge to be in a combact, it's enough for them to have an enemy at 6" range.

Thank you! Do you think it's better to make an army based around Stonehorns and Mournfangs or Thundertusks and Yhetees?

 

[AoS 2 - Mixed Destruction Discussion]

I would definitely go with the first. The command point won't help you much, and the 60 Grots will be much more worth it than the 40.

Yes, is true. But they give a -1 to hit roll to your enemies and they have 4 wounds each. If you use them like front line they'll die quick. If you use them in a smart way (optimizing the 6" "pile in"  to don't be attacked first)  and you attack on the flank of the enemy line you will find them very useful. 

Thanks! Should you use them sort of in between Stonehorns/Mournfangs and Thundertusks?

Ill take the plastic hunter and some new sabre tusks......but how about this time the tusks have the ability to pop up with the hunter anywhere on the board.

You can with the "Skal" Beastclaw Battalion.

[AoS 2 - Beastclaw Raiders Discussion]

My only problem is that they have a terrible 6+ save. They always end up dying quickly.
