    Hey, not everyone can have access to the mighty Jabberslythe: for the low, low cost of 165 points you can buff your enemies, have a few chances to maybe toss out some MW, and gift your foe a VP when it suicide bombs.

    I'm in a similar (possibly same) state that borders one of their distribution hubs and mine still hasn't been picked, as confirmed by their email response this morning. All I know is that I won't be preordering direct ever again.
  3. Vaporlocke
    I made the mistake of ordering direct for the first time ever, status hasn't changed from pending, no communication from them about it. I ended up emailing them this morning but even that has a minimum 2 day turn around.

    A day without ****** over BoC is like a day without sunshine for GW.

    So do people not screen their shooting units where you play or what?
  6. Vaporlocke
    What they don't have is breyherd or warherd keywords, which is sad because I love the models but they are really bad and we can't get any kind of synergy out of them.
  7. Vaporlocke
    Yeah, if I mained an army that was getting everything twisted their way I would try to deflect it off as the other person just not being good rather than me playing on easy mode and wanting it to stay that way too.

    I'm still swearing by 1 squad of 30 Bestigors, it's a lot of wounds and with the changes to pile ins you can use that 4" to wrap around and get more swings in. On the charge they're still pretty scary, especially when buffed/meeting conditional requirements.

    Having played BoC for years that is a well-worn road I'm travelling.

    At this point it's a badge of stubborn pride to be a goatherder. Although I do think our next army wide rule should be "If you lose to BoC in a competitive setting you are banned from playing AoS, how do you blow having every advantage possible?"
  12. Vaporlocke
    We know there aren't any BoC players anywhere near the studio or our community article wouldn't have been flat out wrong...

    Wanna take a bet that the designers and/or playtesters main shooting armies?

    "We grabbed a random hobo off the street and asked him about BoC tactics, to be honest we make them bad on purpose as a long-running joke around the office, we never imagined people would actually plays them." I was honestly expecting our article to just be blank.

    I'm hoping they change it to only being available to the units being charged, keeps it usable and still powerful but not abusable and broken.

    I feel like Gavespawn is still going to be the best choice, the spawn shenanigans still work even if the command ability got neutered a bit. My reworked list is a few pages back but if you're willing to give up the one drop battalion I think going for the extra enhancement core battalion and giving your general the core book 5+ ward save item isn't a bad choice at all considering that 2 of the 3 grand strategies involve your general dying. Every little bit helps when you're struggling as much as we are.
  17. Vaporlocke
    Shaman as general make Bestigor battleline too if that makes a difference to you.

    Our low leadership makes the heal unreliable at best, though it's still better than the super situational one on the Shaggoth warscroll.

    The sad thing is that the Slaangor is such a beautiful model, I'd buy and run them if they were even remotely playable or at the very least had our brayherd/warherd keywords.

    BoC is going to have a rough time for awhile unless we get a killer day 1 FAQ (we won't), but that's nothing new for us. We're already experimenting with potential builds so anyone playing us is going to see some really funky stuff.
  21. Vaporlocke
    Let's be fair, they're not used to this treatment and they just got nailed by two huge nerfs in a row, whereas if we got two huge nerfs in a row we'd just say "oh, it most be Tuesday" and continue on making goat noises.

    Upping the shooting and magic meta that was already at the top is a positive structural change? Which horde armies were tearing up the tourney scene? Skaven? BoC? GSG? NH? Outside of Serephon skink spam (riding on an insane magic phase) most horde armies were already at the bottom and now have been pushed lower.

    Gavespawn (Warlord Battalion) Beastlord- Gnarlblade Great Bray-Shaman Great Bray-Shaman (General) Amulet of Destiny 10x Ungor (Vanguard Battalion) Great Bray-Shaman 30x Bestigor (No Battalion) 10× Bestigor 10x Bestigor 10x Ungor Raiders 10x Ungor Raiders 10x Ungor Raiders 10x Ungor Raiders 10x Gor 10x Gor Ghorgon 1x Chaos Spawn Wildfire Taurus 1985 points if my math is right Changes: I lose my one drop from my old list, but with everyone now able to do it it's not as big of an advantage. Six battleline units make my grand strategy a no-brainer. I still have huge amounts of board control and have always hit like a wet noodle in combat so no change there (I'm going to miss exploding 6's, every die counts when your stat lines are bad). The plan is to still be using the old speed bump tactics to tie up enemies and keep them off objectives.

    Or maybe you take a step back and think "What am I doing to make people say that?". You're always going to have detractors, but when enough people agree that you did something wrong it reaches of point where it's impossible to dismiss it. The next step is to identify and improve in those areas, both for your customers and yourself. There have been thousands of well written posts describing in great detail how to make things better. If GW was smart they would reach out to the community and take advice from some of the better known players. I would love if someone like Joel McGrath had a hand in writing or designing the next BoC book and I'm sure other armies would benefit from the input of players who love their armies and know them inside and out. It's something that simple that would improve the game and sales and becomes a win for everyone.

    As a BoC player let me be the first to welcome you... Everything floats down here.
