[The Rumour Thread]

I adore the new prosecutors, I’m a bit glad a lot of people don’t like the open helms because I’m going to need a bunch of them!

Edit: maybe I needed to refresh the page 😆 

 

Came to see discussion about the rat engine, saw people asking for the pic, posted the pic, saw the pic had been posted 🤷🏻‍♀️

that and the season is nearly over so not really worth getting in to now.

 

 

Well, the thing is I’m kinda stuck learning them since the liga/tourney rules state “

• Games are played under Games Workshop rules with the latest updates at 15.12.2022
• Matched Play - Pitched Battle Rules are in Effect, as per the General Handbook 2022
• Galletian special rules are in Effect
• Any publication from GW that were released before this date is accepted
• Latest FAQs are in effect”

@El_Dicko Way to lean into the hordes. if you wanted you could drop one reinforcement point of stormvermin to splice in some warp-grinders for mobility or switch it for reinforcing the other Rat ogre squad. That way you could have some mid- game threats or have more proper hammer units. You have enough other interesting things for an opponent to target that you foot heroes would be wasted effort. 

Frankly, during this season, just go all GV's if you can with your chosen Grand Strat. If you stick with practicing in this list you'll be well situated for the next season too when bounty hunters rotate out. 

I haven’t played AoS since before this Generals Handbook came out(and never with skaven), so my initial thought was having lots of battle line for hold the line. Trying to get my head around the new rules now, just read the review of GH over on goonhammer but haven’t picked it up yet. Squeezing in more rat ogors sounds good! But I don’t have the models, although the ones I do have and the second 10 storm vermin still need to be built and painted anyway. Thanks for the thoughts y’all!

@El_Dicko That's a great bit of posing work, the little book in his hand is hilarious. Please tell me when you paint it, it's just going to be toddler like scrawl across the pages haha

I‘m not sure my free hand at that size could be much else 😆 right now it just sits in the hand, I’d like to see if I can make the cover visible, my main goal will e that it appears he’s holding it upside down !

love the conversion good job! I have been trying a boss with the tome and Loonskin trait (for the guaranteed extra CP and +1 cast rom being under da badmoon) and if I stick with it I may have to try and steal your idea! 😄

This is a good idea I’ve heard! I’m debating if it’s worth taking him with a couldron, thematically I love it tho.

Maybe it works now?

Here’s my Troggboss with arcane tome [spoiler][/spoiler]

1. Tough as Rocks, General - Troggboss 
. Arcane Tome

Aleguzzler Gargant

3 Fellwater Troggoths, Reinforced

3 Rockgut Troggoths

Malevolent Moon
