    Scaly skin doesnt work against mortal wounds per the faq. Reg. the Krulghast and DoK's invocation my understanding is that they wont be impacting VEW either, because mortals are not coming through the regular attacks sequence. The target just takes mortals equal to the damage characteristics of the weapon due the VEW allegience ability.

    I like the dokks for their healing, which is great with the Wurrgog. Another thing is that I think it's worth to try the wardokks with a larger unit of stikka boyz, esp if you already have them painted. I was quite sad for my foot boyz when the tome released, but than I tried to run a unit of 30 and it worked very well. It's a lot of points but it changes how the army plays. The piggies hit hard but lack the staying power, while the big blob is super tanky, considering the waaagh and potential rallies. It also helps with Hold the Line, as GS can be an issue otherwise.

    I prefer maniacs but usually end up mixing them. I think the main consideration is that maniacs hit harder, but the boarboys are more tanky, are battleline in icebone and their lower cost often means than you can take an extra unit.

    It was a special rule in the aos2 version of the woods, but thats not the case anymore, so boltboys wont be able to see through the woods

    I have seen a lot of Kraggy lists in action recently and I think he should work well in BSP. One thing I would consider to make room in the list for is the soulscream bridge and/or the lifeswarm. The first one is just increasing his threat range to the whole board and the latter can do wonders to keep him alive.

    What I've found is that it's worth to run a unit of 30 savages with a wardokk or two, and that helps with hold the line too. Its a lot of points but still a great anvil, so the rest of the army can focus on the offensive - eg. Im taking maniacs over boarboyz.

    I think they are a bit expensive for screening and due to coherency they cant cover a huge area anyway. But I believe BSP is not that bad as the initial reviews suggested, even Bonegrinz can have game, with Kraggy or a gargant merc.

    That is a feel bad scenario indeed, but I dont think you appreciate how alpha strike armies operate. If the turn order is fixed, those will just take the turn, kill half your army and/or remove key pieces in the top of turn 1 and now your suddenly playing a 1200p army vs 2000. What are the odds that you can recover from that, without the chance of doubling your opponent? Very thin, I'd say.

    I think that would do quite the opposite: encouraging players to go all in top of t1. The roll off mechanism is actually mitigating the impact of alpha strike, esp alpha shooting, in the game, because the attacker is always risking getting doubled - even if the other side suffers heavy losses, he might crawl back into game with a double. With fixed turn order that risk is significantly lower.

    I like the roll off mechanism of the game, but I found the drop count based initiative for round1 is not working in AoS, so I'd rather just roll off for round 1 too. This is sometime we actually do in friendly games (or the player with stronger list deliberatily goes for higher drops). I believe a lot of the negative experience is coming from games playing against a stronger army which is also lower drops, so can just safely give the turn away and the game can be over if they get the double.

    I quite like those oop metal shamans as well - there are 3-4 versions of them, like this champ (not my painting, just example) https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/37576978115342577/

    I think with the current point cost a single cabbage and a bunch of pigz in BT is the best general list for IJ. It gives you more bodies, more board control, more screening ability than two cabbages. The double cabbage list is strong ofc, and in some battleplans/match ups you dont need to worry about screening and stuff, but for me it feels it has less play in it.

    That vicious one which is chasing that innocent grot seems very much alive (yet) !

    That's a big hit if true, esp for a fresh book like OWC. Wonder what they have in the bag for the real baddies 🤔

    Is this the confirmed price? The rest of the range was quite reasonably priced, only real expensive is the bird, so may not be a surprise, but its still a lot for 3 32mm dudes.
