Iron

Thanks! That was a pretty in-depth breakdown with useful information. The big thing bugging me the most about ardboyz is that the "cheap grunts" look more elite and sophisticated than the actual elite of the army. Bonesplitterz look nice and crappy in terms of weapons and clothes. Perfect to be the "cheap grunts" in an ironjawz army i think. I'll hapily use a Big Waaagh to field my angry green men. I can mentally see a group of ironjawz running into a savage tribe, be idolized for their raw strenght and liking that, so they stick together to counter eachothers weaknesses (which no one would ever admit though). The big waagh will be my way forward! (It also lets me paint my armors red without sticking myself to a less-than-awesome allegiance ability) It seems flexible enough to bend to my tastes the way you described it, and makes visual/mental sense too. Thanks again for the insights! Now im off to work up my anger, throw chickenbones at my girlfriend for not being green enough (which i obviously am) and glue some arms and weapons on my savages. The "plan" as it now stands is to build 30 savage spearboys, 20 arrowboyz, 2 wardokks, shaman, big boss, 2 big stabbas (because they're so idiotic, can't resist) and give the 10 boarboyz spears to use as 1 blob and get attacks out of the "rear rank" This would give me the option to use a boss, and 20 arrows/20 spears as kunnin rukk, or just mash a blob of 30 spears with supporting characters in the mix.

Ik ben zelf helemaal niet van de toernooien. Daar kan ik je echt niet mee helpen, sorry.

Cool, thanks for the input. Gonna look into that kunnin rukk and what to build for it. My plan with the savages was to replace the role of the ugly ardboys, but might aswell go big waagh and mix en up properly..

It still exists, more or less. The Hired Guns group is still active and nice to hang out/paint/play with.

Goedemiddag!😀 im from Veghel, near Eindhoven

Hello everyone, I recently started buying my way into Age of Sigmar with a bunch of Orruks. I'm the type of guy that glues most stuff all at once, starts basecoating everything, then finish details on a squad-by-squad level. Im currently still in the glueing everything phase, thanks to a new book. So far I've built the following stuff: 15 ironjawz on pigs with pigiron choppas, 30 brutes(2 10-boy squads with spears, 2 5-boy squads with choppas), 1 mawkrusha, big guy on foot, 2 warchanters, 1 mad wizard. Because of a new book, it's easier than ever to ally in a bunch of Bonesplitter savages, so thats what im glueing right now. Here comes the inevitable question-part of it all: I hate the look of the 'Ardboyz (their style of armor just really doesnt fit in), but do want to mostly use Ironjawz in my army on the tabletop. What would be my most sensible option to do with my bonesplitterz? At this moment I can build 10 pigs, 60 walking boyz and 1 Savage Big Boss. I think it's best to reserve 10 bodies for big stabbas, wardokks and shamans? What would be the smart thing to build out of the other 50 guys and 10 pig riders? I dont mind: getting more guys to eventually build a stand-alone Bonesplitterz or big waaagh in the future, ally in a trio of stonetrolls, because I love those new models. I do mind: building those 30 'Ardboyz I got in my "start collecting" boxes. I really dont like them and have mentally excluded them as an option. Is an Ironjawz army even viable without those things though? If you reached this point, thanks a lot for your time an patience! 😀 Any advice is very welcome

Good morning (at the time of typing) everyone! This guy here is an old warhammer kid (mostly 40K though) but new on this forum. So far I've been using my 40k round based Daemons to give Age of Sigmar a try, but recently fully jumped into it by buying a bunch of Orruks. A nice load of Ironjawz. Then a new book hit me halfway glueing them together, and gave me the option to buy tons of Bonesplitterz, so naturally, like any proper warhammerer, I did. While googling for ideas, I pretty much always end up here, so I though I might aswell sign up and join. From a lurker standpoint so far, this forums seems pretty awesome! Thanks for having me, and I hope to be useful to someone someday, as a lot of things I read here have helped me on my way. Da propa GREEN way!!
