Yeah, it's hard to give a lot advice with a battle tome around the corner. But good news! There are only 2 boxes to buy. Right this second, arrowboys and Wardokks are the big winners this edition. Hoping Wardokks don't get nerfed.

Honestly me too. The wardokks are gold being sold as iron.

Honestly. This hobby is not about making financial decisions.

If you love Bonesplitterz then there is nothing wrong with getting 3 boxes of Savage Orruks and assembling them in to two 30 boy units each of Stikkas and Arrows. Its an amazing time because nowadays the models aren't as customizable as they used to be. You'll be able to get a lot of character out of those 60 models. Honestly, each one you assemble will be unique.

If you really want you can assemble some Big Stabbas instead of some boys.

Why wait?

You make a fair point. Grab two boxes, make a max squad and four big stabbas. That leaves two spare or for base decoration

Probably need to see the new book before we can give you meaningful answers bud.  A couple of boxes of Savage Orruks are generally good to have in your collection and are pretty reasonably priced, but I think we're really all holding out for the new Battletome at this point.

Seems fair enough. I'm thinking one or two max squads depending on points to generate waaagh points. You do raise a good point and I'll wait for the new battletome before making any financial decisions

So I've recently finished collecting my Ironjawz starter army and want to expand. I don't feel like buying a new battlebox for the Kruleboyz but Bonersplitterz seem a simple addition to the army. I'd be playing at 1000 to 2000 points and I was wondering if anyone could help me with what to buy and how to run it. Thanks!

Np. I will say that the Amulet of destiny is well worth it. That MBoMK is sooooooo resilient. So maybe try both out.

No clue about the new 3rd edition universal artefacts. As well as triumphs and all that. I don't really have a generals handbook

Thanks!

What about this one:

Allegiance: Ironjawz
- Warclan: Ironjawz
- Grand Strategy: Hold the Line
- Triumphs: Inspired

Leaders
Megaboss on Maw-Krusha (495) in Battle Regiment
- General
- Boss Gore-hacka and Choppa
- Command Trait: Ironclad
- Artefact: Amulet of Destiny (Universal Artefact)
- Mount Trait: Weird 'Un
Orruk Warchanter (120) in Battle Regiment
- Warbeat: Get 'Em Beat

Battleline
5 x Orruk Ardboys (95) in Battle Regiment
- 1x Gorkamorka Banner Bearers
5 x Orruk Ardboys (95) in Battle Regiment

3 x Orruk Gore-gruntas (170) in Battle Regiment
- Pig-iron Choppas

Total: 975 / 1000
Wounds: 56

 

You could swap out 3 Gore Gruntas for 2x5 ardboys for more bodies?

Swap Amulet of Destiny for Metalrippa's Klaw for the rend. I'll give it a go when I can. Thanks!

For my first game I ended up with 

Megaboss on Foot (Ironclad, amulet of Destiny)

Weirdnob (went with a damage spell, can't remember which)

Warchanter (Get em beat)

2x5 brutes

1x10 brutes

I probably should have been more specific. I have 2 SC boxes, two brute boxes. One MK, one Foot boss and one Weirdnob. Can anyone do anything with that? Sorry 

[Ironjaws 1000 points]

Just wondering if anyone has any decent 1000 point Ironjaw lists for 3rd edition. I have all the models bar gordrakk. Not many ardboys though

[Orruk 1000 points]

Anyone got some nice Ironjawz 1000 point lists I could use? I have two SC boxes, a maw krusha a box of ardboys, and a box of brutes

Well, maybe you should have mentioned this in your starting post?

1500 points is not supported by tournaments therefore I think that you talk about casual games? Then I highly advice the use of proxxies. I don´t know anyone who does not allow proxxies in casual games.

Some facts regarding hobby costs:

- heros are cheap but bring relatively high points costs to the table

- Battalions don´t cost any money, but increase your army points

- elite units often have a better points to cash ratio than battleline units

- buy whole armies on the second hand market, that way you pay the least per model

- I think Skaven is one of the more expensive armies out there because of their low points per model ratio

- one of the best points per cash ratios in the Skaven line seems to be the warplightning cannon followed by (Grey Seer + endless spells) as well as Doomwheel, Stormvermin and Stormfiends

- the Start Collecting Pestilens boxed set allows for a Great Seer on Doomwheel + Warplightning Cannon which is roughly 420 points and therefore rather cheapish, especially if you can sell the Plague Monks

 

 

Ok then, taking into advice and events we've moved to 1000 points for our casual battles and I've made a list for it. How effective against nurgle and ogors will this be: 

Plague priest on Plague Furnace

Plague monks x40

Stormvermin x10

 

Warp Lightning Cannon x2

 

Alternatively I can take out the stormvermin and ten plague monks for 3 stormfiends

[Putting some Brutes into an army]

Ok so: I'm an kinda new player and I'm currently using Ironjaws as my army. 

My usual list consists of:

Bloodtoofs

MK

Warchanter

Ardboys x10

Ardboys x10

Piggos x6

Ironfist Battalion

Command point

1500 points

But the thing is I'm a stickler for              lore-accurate stuff and of course ardboys aren't real Ironjaws canonically just orruks that follow them round, so what I want is to add a squad of brutes into the army without going over the 1500 point limit my friends usually use. What do I change? Is the MK using to many points? And do I use normal brutes or Morgoks Krushas instead? (pricing stuff my budget isn't much) 

I also have a 2k point list I could add that I need help with if you can be bothered. 

Many thanks

Are you guys use the restrictions for 1000 points or for 2000 Points?

1500 is houseruling and not official of GW. It also makes a difference how many Battleline units you have to play and how many Heroes, Artillery and Behemoths you can play.

And yeah, clan pestilence should be one of the cheaper ways.

2 Start Collecting Boxes + 1 Plague Monks + 1 Verminlord Corruptor as an example (second Plague Furnace instead of Screaming Bell is also possible, but only if you have the 2000 Points restrictions, because that list has 3 Benemoths.

Allegiance: Chaos

Leaders
Plague Priest on Plague Furnace (200)
Verminlord Corruptor (280)
Grey Seer on Screaming Bell (240)

20 x Plague Monks (160)
- Foetid Blades

Allies: 0 / 400

This is really appreciated but I've never really liked the Pestilens models, I was wondering more about using things like Warp Lightning Cannons and hordes of clanrats, I don't know a lot about skaven so that's why I'm asking y'all

[1500 pnt skaven with little money spent?]

Ok so, ever since I've gotten into Warhammer I've kinda wanted to make a skaven army. But my budget for this kinda thing isn't the best so I'm wondering what would be a good 1500 point army for skaven with as little cost. I'll be fighting against khorne, nurgle, and ogors most likely

i don't see why not, the only  rule people have on conversion is that it on the right base of the unit your trying to represent.

 

Well I was thinking about doing a joint model, using a brute or a Morgok model as the 'boss and then giving it the attacks of a normal megaboss, and then attaching it to the top squiq. I'd then use it as an MK replacement for 1500 pointers

[Mangler Squigs!]

Off topic and five years late but this is the best I can find, can I do a megaboss on mangler squig conversion? 

 

[AoS 2 - Ironjawz Discussion]

Hi guys, bit late I know but I've got a few questions about my own army. 

First, my list: 

Mega boss on MJ

20 ardboys in two squads of ten

6 GGs

5 savage orruks on pigs

Ironfist battalion
