    I’ve been reading this forum and looking online but am struggling to find out if the Thricefold battalion is a good start for someone newer to AOS. I’ve been playing 40k and have a good collection of Daemons which I now want to try and move over to AOS. I’ve always been interested in the big beasties and have the following Nurgle available:

    GUO x2 (1 bell and blade, 1 sword and flail)

    Rotigus

    Sloppity Bilepiper

    Poxbringer

    Daemon Prince

    60 Plaguebearers

    6 Nurglings

    Feculent Gnarlmaw

    Would I be able to make a list or start to with these models and not be stomped every time I play? Thanks

    You can go with the thricefold battalion. I have heard its not bad. to expand on that I would probably look at a tallyband battalion maybe because you have a lot of plaguebearers. I dont play with a lot of the demon units so I cant really tell how good it is.

    Hello, New ogor here.

    im looking for some ideas on what I should do with the models I own.

    Allegiance: Ogor Mawtribes

    Leaders
    Frostlord on Stonehorn (400)
    Tyrant (160)

    Battleline
    6 x Ogor Gluttons (240)
    - Clubs or Blades with Iron Fists

    Units
    6 x Leadbelchers (240)
    4 x Mournfang Pack (280)
    - Gargant Hackers

    Artillery
    Ironblaster (120)

    Total: 1440 / 2000
    Wounds: 102
     

    I am making a pirate themed list so I hope I can make the leadbelchers usefull.

    the stonehorn is magnetized so he can be either a frostlord or huskard.

    any suggestions on what to add/change to this list?

    also is the kraken eater gargant worth taking? He would fit in great with the theme.

    thanks.

    I have a question:

    How does the Null Myriad ability work exactly.

    it doesnt specify that the null myriad unit has to be the ''target'' of the spell but it just has to be affected by.

    For example: if my OBR unit is in combat with an enemy unit wich is affected by a spell that gives it a -1 to hit aura effect for example. Now my OBR unit would be affected by that spells effect becouse now I have -1 to hit. Would I in this case be able to roll a dice and ignore the effect on a 5+?

    Now say my opponent casts a prismatic pallisade endless spell and put it on the table. If I want to shoot but it blocks my line of sight, I can roll a dice and one a 5+ ignore the effect.

     

    sorry if this is kind of a noob question but since we now have less temptation to just go with petrifex elite I thought it was worth asking.

    overall im pretty happy with this faq.

    the PE change is pretty big but needed to happen. Im exited to try out the other subfactions.

    Tournament players are going to be pissed about this PE change but finally I can just play bonereapers in casual games again and have fun with this army.

    It's a question I've been given several answers to. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
    I'd really like to know if you think it's possible for me to, for example, sacrifice 3 MW to have +3 casting spell ?

    Bellow the rule from GW :

     

    I dont think you can take more mortal wounds for a higher casting bonus. its just a normal ability and I dont think you can use those more than once.

    Only some Command Abilities are able to be used more than once I believe

    Imo, given how overpriced most of the units feel in other legions, petrifex may be the *only* fair way to play bonereapers.

    That said, warhammer undead have always had a problem with feelbads / negative play experiences at the table, largely due to the summoning/recursion gimmick.  Even when points costs and rules balance have adequately accounted for it, opponents still feel bad when they wipe out a bunch of models only to see them all return to the table in your next magic phase.

    OBR don't restore as many models at a time, but they're much tougher to begin with, which is it's own brand of frustrating that makes the handful of models you do restore all the more frustrating.

    And then there's the Catapult, with its ability to readily snipe support heroes from behind enemy lines, and even pick out individual models which can cause a lot of heartache for people who string out their units.  Now, the obvious answer there is *don't* string out your units when facing it, but the feelbads persist even after they've adjusted their tactics to avoid the danger.  This isn't an exclusive obr problem, people have been complaining about shooting in AoS since AoS was released, but it is one more complaint layered on top of the other.

    Again, none of that is unfair.  OBR are expensive, their offense isn't great for their points outside of stalkers, their defense is also pretty lackluster for the points outside of morteks, and their numbers overall are very limited, both in model and unit count, which makes capturing and holding objectives quite difficult.  It's really only the petrifex rules that raise the army up to being at all threatening.  Don't bet me wrong, *with* petrifex the army *is* threatening, but nowhere near the kind of broken that Flesh Eaters or Slaanesh were in their day or that Tzeentch is right now.  OBR are tough, and hurty, but they don't have the kind of teleportation or summoning or out-of-sequence-attacking or option-limiting type shenanigans that really twist the game.

     

    That said, there are other factions that do struggle against OBR, factions that are a lot worse off or that have a hard time hurting us at all due to relative lack of rend & mortals, or that rely on fragile, short range support heroes that get easily sniped off the board by any shooting at all.  And even for stronger factions, there are players who have difficulty adapting to fight us due to limited collections, lack of money & time to buy & paint new units, narrative investment in running the less good parts of their factions, or just lack of interest in developing list building & tabletop game skill.  That's not a knock on anyone, this hobby is multifaceted and people whose interest leans harder on the narrative & painting end of things aren't "doing it wrong".

    Honestly, the amount of hassle and cost involved in keeping up with the shifting competitive meta means they're probably the smart ones.

    Point is, while Petrifex OBR are far from broken in the competitive sense, it's entirely possible that your personal pool of opponents might have a lot of trouble dealing with the army, in which case you might be better served by switching to one of the other legions in order to give them more of a fighting chance.  That said, the gap between petrifex and non-petrifex is so wide that you could go from them having a bad and frustrating time playing against your army to the complete reverse.

    Thanks for the detailed reply. It has definetly helped me. 
     

    i havent had many games with OBR yet and most of them have been sort of negative experiences. 3 games i was stuck with a badly written 1250 point PE list in a small tournament. Got tabled each game, only won one. 
     

    the other game was the first game i used my crawler. My friends call it broken but i see it as a fairly balanced unit. Although the frustration factor is amongst the highest in the game lol.  I sniped a few heroes but he shot back at the catapult taking off about 6 wounds. You should have seen his face when i healed the crawler 6 wounds becouse a shaper and Arkhan were in range. 
     

    My bonereaper army has expanded a decent bit since the last time I used it so i should be able to write better lists and figure out wich legion best fits my meta to give everyone a fair chance. 

     

    again thanks everyone for the advice. Really appreciate it.

    i really lost my love for OBR a bit. It has such a bad reputation that it has become unfun to play imo. 
     

    is playing Petrifex elite considered a ****** move or is it fair to play them?

    are there any onther ways to play this army without getting my opponent to get angry about how “OP” this army is. 
     

    while i really like the model, the reputation is really what kills it for me. 
     

    anyone got any advice for me?

    Hi folks. I just wrapped up my first half dozen test color schemes for my Bonereapers. They are simple, quick jobs just to test composition and colors.

    I have a feeling on which one I'll use for the army, but I'd be interested in opinions from you guys. If you have a moment and a thought, please let me know.

     

    Note: The actual models for the army well be much, much better painted, so try just to discuss focus on colors and composition, not quality. 😁

     

    Thanks!

    You really dont make it easy for us haha they all look great. Some of my favorites are: first pic guy on the left and second pic two guys in the center. I really like those three the most. Very unique and already great quality paint job imo. Good job.

    Nice! How many sub-assemblies did you have to do to get it painted? 

    I am still hoping a wraithbone undercoat with seraphim sepia shade Will work on those big surfaces.. :D but Will take me a while to get to painting that big hunk of a modell! 

    I did a lot of sub assemblies on this model. I had to becouse i basically drybrushed the entire model

    This is generally thought to be a mistake that will get fixed in faq.  Even if it does get fixed he won't exactly be competitively good, but he'll at least be casually playable.

    Yeah i cant immagine that gw intended this to happen. He is a named character. The master of the bone tithe. 
     

    if he gets fixed i will still play him in casual games. His battalion is actually really good. Its in the feast of bones book.
