Perfect timing. I'm literally building mine right now, and thinking the exact same thing. 👻

Brilliant! He's getting a shield to tie in with the unit, whether he likes it or not. 😉😂

Has anyone had experience building the Gutrippaz multi-part kit as spearman? I'm curious how you got around the fact that the standard bearer doesn't have a spear option. Going by the RAW on the their warscroll, all models must be armed with the same weapon. I was thinking about just fixing a scare shield and classing the banner as a spear... after all, it does look pretty 'stikky'. 🤔 Anyone got any thoughts on this?

Very nice! 😎

You probably just feel like that because of old rule hangover. Even though I've read very little in regards to what's coming for MoN, I think we'll be in for a treat. 😎 Having played Nurgle since the start of 2nd ed. AoS myself, I'm pretty excited to see how the new rules shake things up. They felt very one dimensional for quite a long time in my opinion - at least compared to other armies I've played with.
-
I haven't see it, but I know the spears are included in the set. I'd imagine the main part of the model will be the same, with the weapon and shield being the only difference.

I actually took his advice on board tonight and ran two units of 20 Gutrippaz instead of Boltboyz screened by hobgrots. Personally, I felt like this list had a lot more stay in power had things not gone my way, and pushing out of my territory was a lot easier once my units had dealt with the initial charges in turn 1. Besides that, kicking out that Kruleboyz Waaagh definitely helped reduce the damage I could have potentially taken, too. It's certainly made me rethink the direction I want to go when buying more stuff for the army.

Grinnin' Blades, I'd say.

If you take the Big Yellers Clan you can pick them as battleline. 😊

Had my first proper game since the release of the Warclans tome last night against a good Hedonites player, and tabled him by the end of turn 3. 😬 Mind, he deserved it considering he's been hammering me for weeks without the book. 😂 This was my list Allegiance: Kruleboyz- Warclan: Big Yellers- Mortal Realm: Ghur- Grand Strategy: Prized Sorcery- Triumphs: Inspired - Drirty Tricks: Covered in MudLeadersGobsprakk, The Mouth of Mork (300)Snatchaboss on Sludgeraker Beast (315)*- General- Command Trait: Slippery Skumbag- Artefact: Amulet of Destiny (Universal Artefact)- Mount Trait: Smelly 'UnSwampcalla Shaman with Pot-grot (105)*- Lore of the Swamp: Nasty HexSwampcalla Shaman with Pot-grot (105)**- Lore of the Swamp: Da Black PitBattleline6 x Man-skewer Boltboyz (240)*- Reinforced x 16 x Man-skewer Boltboyz (240)*- Reinforced x 16 x Man-skewer Boltboyz (240)*- Reinforced x 1Units10 x Hobgrot Slittaz (80)*10 x Hobgrot Slittaz (80)*ArtilleryBeast-skewer Killbow (130)**Beast-skewer Killbow (130)**Core Battalions*Battle Regiment**Grand BatteryTotal: 1965 / 2000Reinforced Units: 3 / 4Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 106Drops: 5 If anyone has any cool ideas for adapting this list, I'd love to hear them. 😊

I love Bloab. Not used him in 3rd ed., though.

In that case, your best option would be to grab a couple start collecting sets (I think there's three at the moment) and go from there. You'll have a good mix of unit options to start things off. 😊

They're mainly designed to capture objectives and using their resilience to hang onto them. Although they're still fairly resilient compared to some armies, the game's changed a lot since the current battletome came out, and there are armies that do this better. Truth be told, they're in need of a new book, which I cannot see being too far off now 3rd edition has dropped. It all depends what you want to run. If you wanna run all daemons, you'll want a fair amount of plaguebearers to bulk out your army. Personally, I prefer Blightkings but I also run a unit of 30 plaguebearers too - and it's handy having some extras laying around for summoning, etc. What sort of things have you got your eye on?
-
Yeah, I found the coherency mechanic a bit restrictive in combat situations, especially with anything over a 25mm base size. The jury's still out on that one for sure.
-
Yeah, a friend and I played last night. However, we clean forgot about the additional rules for monsters. 🤦♂️ seems very promising from what I could tell, though.
-
Wicked, mate. I'll check that out. I've got a couple kicking, which I really love. Sadly I don't use them enough. I've never ran them outside the minimum unit size of two, but I wouldn't mind taking them in a bigger unit sometime.
-
Looks pretty solid to me. 😁
-
Hmm... I haven't had any experience against Sons of Behemat, so I'm afraid my any advice would be rather arbitrary. Has he had a look on YouTube? If you don't get much joy here, there might be something to be had from players over there. I know Rerolling Ones did a battle report between the two a while ago, where I think Maggotkin won. Might be worth a look.
-
No worries, dude. 😊 I was a bit surprised when you said to drop him. 😅
-
That's a great point on the Nurglings, actually. Spume and his unit carry out that role so in hindsight they do seem a bit pointless in terms of scoring Contagion Points. That said, however, their secondary role of hopping onto backfield objectives and allowing my more powerful units to advance hasn't been a bad tactic for me either, but then summoned units could carry out that same role, but only less quickly. It's certainly something to think about. 🤔 I have to admit, I'm torn on Blades, too. If it comes off it's a great addition to the list, and being that the current meta I play in doesn't feature a great deal of unbinding, it usually hangs on the cast roll as opposed to being overwhelmed by buffed unbinding. Unfortunately, I don't own any furies. Although I see the benefit of running some, I do have a slight problem when it comes to running allies. It's silly, I guess, but that's where my 'purist' side creeps in. 😄 What's your thoughts on Pusgoyle Blight Lords? I kinda like the idea of doubling down on the Alpha strike to get in my opponents face even more so than with just the Plague Drones. I doubt I'll have to worry about any hard alpha strikes myself during our games, but possibly giving them something else to chew through for a turn or two might help with early scoring. What do you think?
-
Thanks for the feedback, mate. Out of curiosity, why would you drop the LoA? I personally find him really useful for dishing out the extra attacks on each of the drones' weapons, being that he's the only one who can keep pace with them. I think it works out at an additional 5 or 6 attacks each.
-
😅 Your secret's safe with me, mate. In all fairness, I got a few lucky breaks during the match. I managed to get my Plague Drones powered up to the teeth before they went in, and then got the double turn and did it again. Numbers on the table won it in the end. There was just too many bodies for the Terrorgheists to chew through, whic meant I was scoring max points for the majority of the game and my opponent wasn't. 🤷♂️ ...
-
I did what you said... And won. 😁 Thanks, @Honk

Hey guys - some friends and I are starting a 2k league next week. I ran this list minus the sorcerer and extra command point, but with the addition of Festus. Although it preformed pretty well, I figured the only reason I wanted Festus on the table was to unlock Blades of Putrefaction, and so I decided to drop him out for a vanilla sorcerer and the extra command point. Anybody got any thoughts on how I can improve on it? Or is Festus a better option. All feedback welcome. (Leader x4) Great Unlean One General, Grandfather's Blessing, Doomsday Bell, Bileblade, Glorious Afflictions. Lord of Afflictions Rustfang Sorcerer Blades of Putrefaction Gutrot Spume (Battleline X3) x30 Plaguebearers ×10 Blightkings x5 Blight Kings (Other) x6 Plague Drones x3 Nurglings Extra Command Point. Total: 2000

Anyone got any tips for dealing with monster heavy Gristlegor/FEC with Maggotkin? Thanks.
