  1. Oh and i forgot to add the zarbags box also gives 2 squigs...
  2. Its a bit if a tough one if you mean squig squigs, not mounted squigs. I bought a box of zarbags gitz which gives you 2 or 3 shooters, a herder and a netter which combined with a box of hoppers gives you quite a diverse list choice while including those cute as hell squigs. You could also convert the zarbag in to a boss.
  3. I havent played many games and ive never been much for theoryhammer so ill just be experimenting with builds until i feel one is right for my play style. Ill be using the ardboys with shields as cheap tough5 objective holders/jammers which (hopefully) will free up my brutes to go where the damage needs to be done. Im more of a casual gamer so i think 2xhand weapons will always be my go to warbands as i dont really want to change my builds to play certain factions. I think pure weight of attacks will be better for that purpose. Minmaxing has never been my personal style in any gaming system. I dont actually think the shield bash ability will be used much unless you literally have no other use for your doubles.
  4. Ive just swapped gaming systems from warmachine back to AoS after a decade hiatus from games workshop, and as warmachine has a very strict WYSIWYG system i do aim for it. YES the picture has a choppa and club HOWEVER their will never be confusion as to what its representing if you model say a choppa and axe/dual choppas as, its been stated previously, the picture isnt depicting a strict axe/mace loadout due to the fact that there isnt split stats for 2 weapons. As long as you model 2 hand weapons it will be fine and i intend to model mine with choppa/axe or double choppa because i dislike the mace aesthetic. I do see confusion if you model just 1 hand weapon and the other hand empty as it looks similar to a 2 handed weapon The first iteration of my IJ list will consist of 3 brutes, 3 ardboys (1x double choppa, 2x choppa shield) and i will use the brutes with double hackas and the boss will be with boss claw (i really want to model double hacka because i dont like the claw but i do see some confusion arising there as one of the abilities uses the claw model) Apologies if my writing is terrible, im writing just before bed and im tired as hell haha.
  5. Just a quick reply as im texting fron work.... I would recommend basing them as your slaves army, however to make them stand out more or look less plain in the warcry game, i would suggest adding some extra debri (such as ruins, or bones/skulls...erbody loves skulls) that way they both stand out on the warcry table and fit with your slaves army. I am personally basing my untamed beasts with wintery snow/ice bases. I always interpret my own lore/make my own which adds extra depth to an army, for example YES untamed beasts come from a certain realm but hell, there are beasts in every realm so who is to say thay cant come from, or have migrated to other realms. Games workshop is amazing for its rich lore and openness for its players to create their own story. For example instead of my gloomspite being in dank caves with mushrooms everywhere, i based them to look like they live in a duardin ruin. The biggest challenge for me with my bases is making them realistic...i live in Australia, we are currently in our coldest month of winter and it was 27°C (80°F) yesterday. Im wearing shorts and a t-shirt and trying to avoid the sun haha ive never seen snow in my life!
  6. Im fairly new to AoS so im very vaguely informed of the lore but in the old world, humans would do certain acts to try and earn a gods favor which then was rewarded by (usually) some form of mutation or being imbued with power from that particular god. Warcry seems to be just tribes of people who havent yet earned favor from a particular god which is why we dont have the "this is a khorne tribe, this is a nurgle tribe etc." Its just all a vague representation of chaos which i like personally, as from what ive gathered, the setting is about Archaon calling them to the allpoints to earn HIS favor. Which leads me to believe they will just end up being chaos undivided (if thats a thing in AoS) or even better, his chosen.
  7. Greetings! Ive been lurking for about a year now, this is my first post and im a bit of a technophobe so apologies if i stuff it up! Haha this will be my gloomspite band. Ill probably swap out the netter at some point...abilities on a 3+isnt very reliable. Bounderz seem strong. Ill be diving in to warcry pretty hard, untamed beasts, splintered fang, and i want to convert an ironjawz band using some of the old warhammer orc special characters. Ill be posting most of it on my instagram account - odyssey_painting if you want to check it out! Happy gaming!
