[AoS 2 - Ironjawz Discussion]

I would like to run a list that can summon extra bodies through ardfist but also has a few other tricks up its sleeve. Some punch with Brutes and Goregruntas and a magical battery powered by an Rogue Idol (who can also smash face). Starts the game with up to 4 CP (2 guaranteed) and can propel a unit of ardboyz with hand of gork into a suicidal charge. Until then, they act as batteries for Wrath of Gork. What do others think?

That looks like a pretty bruising operation grill type of list. Dropping the fungoid and taking the weirdnob also lets you take advantage of all three artifact slots. 

Do you ever consider realms other than Hysh or is the Broach just that good?

Hi All,

Long time lurker but I have a tournament coming up in August where I am looking to try something a little different with my Ironjawz. It is a fairly standard list but has a significant (for Ironjawz) focus on magic with two Weirdnob Shamans and a Fungoid Cave-Shaman with the Arachnacauldron to give me access to Itchy Nuisance and other ranged damage spells. The Weirdnobs would have Hand of Gork and Power of the Waagghh respectively. Keeping my army tight around my shamans early game allows me to approximately deal 3 D3 mortals within 24" + D3 mortals within 12" (Vindictive Glare) + Wraithbow. Good for picking off small characters or weakening big ones before Hand of Gorking in Ardboyz of charging in the Mawcrusha.  I also have 20pts towards a triumph.

I have a few different artifact loadouts that I would like opinions on:

Ulgu:

- Doppleganger Cloak for the Mawcrusha

- Sword of Judgement for the Warchanter (item going off on a 5+)

- Betrayer's Crown on a Weirdnob (thinning hordes or a heroic last stand)

Hysh:

- Aetherquartz Broach for the Warchanter

- Mirrored Cuirass for the Mawcrusha

- Luminary Rod for a Weirdnob (adding to the ranged damage)

Shyish:

I have a tournament coming up in mid August and am debating a few different lists. I would appreciate some comments and criticism on the following:

List 1

Mawcrusha w/ Ironclad

Troggoth Hag

2 x Warchanter

3 x 5 Brutes

2 x 3 Goregruntas

Ironfist Battalion

Malevolent Maelstrom

List 2

Gordrakk

Megaboss

Moonclan Grot Shaman

2 x Warchanter

3 x 5 Brutes

2 x 3 Goregruntas

Ironfist Battalion

Gemenids

List 3

Mawcrusha w/ Ironclad

Megaboss

Warchanter

2 x Moonclan Grot Shaman

3 x 5 Brutes

2 x 3 Goregruntas

Ironfist and Bloodtooth Battailons

60pts endless spells

In terms of artifacts I am thinking either Ulgu for Miasmatic Blade, Sword of Judgement and Spellmirror or Betrayer's Crown or Hysh for Brooch, Lens of Refraction and Mirrored Cuirass.

Thanks.
