    When I set up, say, a Skal of 2 hunters and 12 frostsabers in ambush, do I have to decide during setup how I divide them up (in 1x12 or 2x6 or 6/4/2 or whatever), and who goes with which hunter? Or can I decide that when they come out of ambush (so I can adapt to the situation)?

    While building your armylist you deside how big your units are. You can not change that afterwards.

    I think big box, metal playing in the bottom, couple of magnets on the base is the best way to deal with big models. 
    Foam will just take of the tail and other small bits. 
     

    I only tried them a couple of games at the beginning. Before the book they were my ‘linebackers’ the run and charge + decent shooting attacks meant they were pretty quick to respond. 
    but never in big units. 

    in the end I just dropped them, which is such a shame. They function as unit champions for me now.

    love to hear if anybody gets them to work. I have several conversions I want to do for them 😅

    have you seen the conversion by GW’s peach on Twitter? 

    I have seen Peach's conversions and they are f***ing awesome. I have 4 unbuild ogors and was already thinking about creating Peach inspired Maneaters.

    But i also would like to have more Leadbelchers. I guess gameplaywise that would be the better idea.😄 If i go that route i will have to get creative because i just have the gluttons And not the Leadbelcher sprue. Greenstuff is my friend.😅

  3. Would you recommend spaming endless spells in a Bloodgullet list? I have 80 points left and don't want to use it on 2x2 cats.

    It sounds more fun to cast a lot of endless spells. Balewind is set i guess. So 40p to play with.

    The jaws and Maelstorm? Or do you have another good idea?

    If they are not worth it, i will just field my newly painted Gorger.😅

    I've used the Eurlbad with 2x4 Mournfangs vs Gitz heavy Gloomspite.  1 unit cleaned up a unit of 40 that didn't have a Loonboss, and another unit got stabbed by a unit of 40 backed by a Loonboss.  Mournfangs are pretty awesome, especially so in the Eurlbad.  I think one could fit that w 3x4 Mournfangs, the SHBR and HoSH, plus a FLoSH in 2K.  No wizardry but meh, who cares, Mournfangs can do MWs on 6s when attacking AND saving.

    Thunderbellies could be good though but I feel one would be needing a HoTT to get the 3+ Keening Gale prayer to really make them fast.  I don't remember being impressed with that Mawtribe other than Mournfang speed, and they are so much better with Eurlbad which has that Stonehorn 'tax'....which I gladly pay :D

    Thanks for the reply.;)

    My next purchases will be two Stonehorns so i can field an Eurlbad on 1k5 points. MW on exploding 6s is so awesome. I got a taste of it with my FEC Flayer list, but ogors also have the trampling charge. Pure awesomeness!

    I am still torn between buying just two Stonehorns or two SC-boxes. I don't really need more Mournfangs right now and it already gets kind cramped in here. So available space is an argument.🙈

    Some lovely Art. Look at how big those big boys are ❤️ Those prosecutors in the back just make me think of attack on titan though :D

    That's the new Desktop Background.

    Just wanted to point out, that the body of the gargant on the left looks like a warstomper but his club is packed wirh canons like the krakeneater ones.

    This is just pure fangasm! I love everything about that picture. Look at those dynamicly moving stormcast. Give us these poses for Stormcasts GW so my Gargants can break them.😄

    My Underguts list that is undefeated at 2k after 12+ games:

    Tyrant: General + Trophy Rack

    Firebelly + Billowing Ash

    Frostlord on Stonehorn, Metal Cruncher + Gnoblar Blast Keg.

    4 Ironguts

    2 * 4 Lead Belchers

    2 * 2 Lead Belchers

    4 * Iron Blasters

    Tyrant's Gutguard.

     

    As others have mentioned it's not a pure shooting army, but has enough shooting to force people towards you.  Personally I love the Iron Blasters as they are hard to kill, fast, mildly competent in combat and force people towards you. There presence also forces people to take first turn against you rather than out-dropping you they give you a not very productive first turn before potentially double turning you.

    Every unit (except the Ironguts) can do damage in Shooting, charge and combat phase separately which means you don't waste much damage output overkilling things. A massive advantage that's easy to underestimate.

    The Ironguts are usually the star players as people tend to focus on the Frost Load and Iron-blasters, so the Guts are relatively free to decimate stuff. 

     

    Sounds like a interesting list. It made me think about investing in more Leadbelchers and Ironblasters.

    Rushing forward while shooting sounds nice. Now i have to deside if i get myself two more Stonehorns or some more guns...

    Has one of you ever tried to spam Mournfangs? I have read somewhere that they are starting to perform at tournaments? Whould you use Thunderbellies?

    This is my tweaked Bloodgullet list from a few pages back.

    It is all about having a bloody time with magic while smashing your opponent in the ground.

    The endless spells are just for fun and because i had the points left. And i will love to see these on the table.

    Endless magic everywhere while an unstoppable mass of ogors crushes forward.

    I have no idea how it will play. But they’re all cool and thematic models. You love them. Just go for it and then figure out how to make them work. They all, except maybe the flamethrower, seem to feature in a lot of list. But usually the storm fiends are being buffed by an engineer. So you might want to look into that? 
    again don’t play Skaven enough to really advice on how it plays. I’d just go for it because it’s what you love. 

    Thanks for the advice Kramer.;)

    I changed the list a bit to make it more competitive but keep the cool models in.

    This is what i came up with:

    Thanquol on Boneripper 390p

    Warlock Engineer 110p

    20x Clanrats 120p

    20x Clanrats 120p

    3x Stormfiends 260p
     

    1000/1000p

    What do you think of the changed list?

    I will 100% buy a Johann Gargant story book. Give me this GW and I will roar your name from the craggiest of mountain peaks in a storm so fierce itll bring a tear to an Idoneth's Blind Eye.

    In all seriousness I'm so goddam  happy that the hype train has begun for the Sons of Behemat!!

    GW should at least create one for you King Brodd as a thank you for keeping the hype train alive singlehandedly through the Corona crisis. You earned it bro!

    I think that is only 900 points.

    I would pretty much ALWAYS bring the Skystreakbow on the Stegadon instead of the flamethrower. The flamethrower CAN be good on the Skink Chief on Stegadon with Prime Warbeast and the +1 from the constelation.... but as the normie Stegadon, it just doesn't do enough dmg.

    The Skink Starpriest really needs a unit to buff that has alot of attacks. Saurus Knights would fit well into your list. They would be rolling a BUNCH of dice (7 attacks each model) in Coalesced. I might run your list at 1000pts like this:

    Allegiance: Seraphon
    - Constellation: Thunder Lizard

    Leaders
    Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (210)
    - General
    - War Spear
    - Command Trait: Prime Warbeast
    - Artefact: Fusil of Conflaguration
    Skink Starpriest (120)
    - Spell: Hand of Glory

    Battleline
    10 x Saurus Knights (200)
    - Lances
    Stegadon (240)
    - Weapon: Skystreak Bow

    Behemoths
    Bastiladon (220)
    - Weapon: Solar Engine

    Total: 990 / 2000
    Extra Command Points: 0
    Allies: 0 / 400
    Wounds: 56
     

    The Knights will be buffed by the Scar Vet and Starpriest. Stegadon can operate on his own. Bastiladon can hang back and double fire (thx to Thunderlizard).

    Argh, sorry i forgot to include 3x Teradonriders for 90p.

    I absolutely don't like the Saurus Knights models, so they are not an option.🙈

    Because of that i don't want to buy the old SC-box.

    I thought one of each dinosaur type will look dope (1 Carnosaur, 1 Bastiladon, 1 Stegadon, 1unit of Teradon).

  12. Hey guys,

    i am thinking about starting my own Jurassic park. Guess i would start with the new start collecting box and do a thunderlizards army.

    What do you guys say to the following list?

    1000p thunderlizards

    1x Scar Veteran on Carnosaur

    1x Skink Starprist

    10x Skinks

    1x Bastilodon

    1x Stegadon with firethrower

    1x extra CP

  13. Hey guys,

    i am thinking about starting a small Skaven force. My love for ratogors is old and strong, so i would like to field only ratogors aka stormfiends (because new and beautiful skulps).

    My planned list would look like the following:

    1000p list

    Thanquol on Boneripper

    3x Stormfiends

    3x Stormfiends

    1x Warpfire Thrower

    980/1000p

    So my question would be if this list could do any good or is at least fun to play? What would you change to make it more playable?

    My meta right now is just LRL and Orks (Mawcrusher). We play on a small 47x23,5 inch table.

    I wonder if buying into Skyborne slayers is a good idea now, they are not even in the book yet in GHB. It looks really interesting but I need quite a few boxes of paladins to make the list... Sure is nice to hear poor paladins do some work though!

    It should be in it, because the points for the batallion dropped from 190p (december FAQ) to 180p (warscroll builder atm).

  15. I had my first game with Stormcast and Skyborn Slayers against LRL. We played 1k5 on a 47x23,5 inch table (we have no alternative right now).

    My list:

    Celestant (Staunch Defender)

    Castelant

    Relictor

    15x Liberators

    5x Liberators

    5x Judicators

    5x Judicators

    5x Decimators

    5x Protectors

    Skyborn Slayers

    He played a custom CC hero and:

    Eltharion

    20 Wardens

    10 Wardens

    20 Sentinels

    5 Dawnriders

    5 Dawnriders

     

    We played the mission where the 3 stars fall. I put everything in the heavens except 5 Libs. 
    Came down in turn three. By then he had screened everything with his riders. The judicators killed a rider unit and the decimators charged another and killed 2. At least my Liberators scored me the middle objective which came down this turn.

    Next turn he charged my big Lib unit with his two heroes after his Sentinels killed my Celestant. The Liberators could hold their ground quite well. I think six survived.😅
    I still had enough Libs on the middle objective to deny it. 
     

    In my turn i retreated the Liberators and charged his CC hero (a dragon btw) with the Protectors. The did 5-6 wounds but nothing serious. Mostly the Starsoul mases did "the work" aka something. Three Protectors where killed in return. The Decimators destroyed the remaining Dawnriders (again Starsoul Mases). I retreated the Liberators out of combat bit still in range of the objective. I moved my 5 man Liberator unit to the "star" that came down at the begining of turn three.

    In his turn he killed the Protectors and sniped the Relictor but failed to kill the remaining Liberators because of very bad dice rolls. Decimators where killed by charging Wardens.

    I moved the Judicators in a Kongaline to contest the middle objective, because he still had only 2 heroes there.

    In his turn he killed everything except the 5 Liberators, so i could still score some points with them in my turn.

    21:20 for Stormcast

    I played a lot of things wrongly and the table wasn't optimal For a Skyborn Slayers army. Will have to learn a lot to make this work. Everything hit like a pillow except the Starsoul mases, but it was very refreshing to play a totally different game then my Ogors/OBR/FEC. I see some real fun potential there.

    I had to proxy 10 Liberators and the Castelant but now i am shure that i will purchase them. Actually i will go to my local store after i finish this post.😋

    My alternative for the Liberators/Castelant would be 5 more Protectors and some hero (Vexillor?), but after the Paladins did earn any glory i will go for Liberators for now.

    Filling out the slaughtermasters battalion + a butcher on a balewind and you’ve filled 1,5K.

    leadbelchers for holding an objective 

    , butcher gluttons combo on one end or second wave. 
    ironguts slaughtermaster combo into his best Units. Double fish for the +1 to hit on 8 ironguts is insane. Blood will be flying around there make no mistake. 

    probably better off dropping the balewind and adding 4 cats as screens. Hey, something needs to fetch the birds when the leadbelchers go the mortal realms equivalent of duck hunting. But that makes you three drop.  Depends on your opponents if that makes a difference. 

    Thanks for the reply Kramer.:)

    I will test that list in a game against LRL or Orruks today and will report back.

    The Balewind will stay for now because i just got the model (for 40€ on ebay🤪) and it looks just too awesome.

  17. Hey guys,

    how would you built a list that says "100% bloodgullet".

    I am looking for a thematic but still competitive list for 1k and 1k5 games.

    Slaughtermaster, Butcher and Gluttons are set in stone i guess.
    Bloody Balewind yes please. Bloodmagic Is always nice.

    Firebellies are a big no go because grilled meat? Yuck! Where is the blood?!

    BCR doesn't sound right, but maybe a Frostlord found his bloody way to the tribe? (I have one but want to stay on theme. But Frostlords are so damn good...😅)

    The call for blood isn't only heard by "normal" Ogors, so maybe a Gorger? A Gargant?

     

    I would love to hear your ideas.:)

    Do you guys still have the Celestant Prime available in your local shops? I am looking for one but every store and also every online retailer including GW seems to be out of stock. Does anyone have an idea where I could get the model?

    This is the normal reproduction Cycle i guess. Just wait a few weeks and it should be available again.;)

    You can, but he dies really easily and the range is very limiting. I’ve messed  around with it quite a bit over the past year trying to find an effective combo and it’s really hard. He needs to be paired with a fast unit like more dracoths or cats or a unit near a knight heraldor.

    I was thinking about using him wirh skyborne slayers.

    Run him up first turn (10+D6 movement) and then let the rest come down from the heavens.

    In my heads this sounds fantastic and looks even better.
     

    We normaly play 1k5 points on 48x48 inch boards. So the smaller board plays into my strategy.
