  1. So what would people recommend as additions to Maw Krusha and Kragnos in a 2k list for a bit of a throwaway day of fun with friends? 1200 points already spent doesn’t allow for much extra. 
     

    Bunch of brutes? Bother with a caster at this point?

    Megaboss is on foot. I can not fit Mawcrusha and all the other units in 1000 points. Thanks a lot. I will definitely try Ironsunz as well.

    Do many people have good suggestions how to run them at 1000? 
     

    Local shop is going to run some 1000 point comps and I’m yet to actually play 3.0. 

  3. So coming back to ironjawz having not played them in Aos 2.0 and picked up the current battletome. Some big changes to ardboyz I see with only the one profile. General consensus now a drummer and banner in every squad and max no of shields? 
     

    Also do the banner, shield etc all still get 2 attacks each or drop down to one. Doesn’t specifically state anywhere I could see.

    Thanks all - keen to play 3.0!

    Imo our Points per Wound and Points per Bodies is to low to splash out for a battalion at 1k, especially since none of ours help keep our units alive. 

    That’s it - more wounds makes us more survivable at the lower point levels. Bonuses from the battalions aren’t there really I think.

    that could be good, would the extra D6 movement from the battalion be better? or 2 warchanters, also if i did the 2 warchanters i could drop the megaboss and ally a warboss for wound rerolls of 1 withing 16inches of the great waaagh banner and also his waaagh abiliy is 12inchs as opposed to the megaboss who has 10inchs

    Hard to say. I’ve always found 1000 point games tough. In AoS1 I always ran the battalion but now in v2 I can’t help but think they’re too expensive an investment at this points cost when you could run 2 warchanters or an extra unit of brutes. 

    I need to play a lot more 1000 point games myself and figure out what works best.

  6. Have a local comp coming up soon - not looking to win or anything, just looking to play something that might be a bit of fun. It’s an ultra competitive group and am really not worried where I place (as the more hardcore players will be running some full on lists). With that in mind this is what I’ve come up with. 

    Any suggestions for artifacts and realm etc? Am keen to add some squigs so thought the boingrots might fit well with the whole cavalry theme

    I wonder if you’d get more benefit from dropping the iron fist and running with some warchanters instead for buffs?

    Turned out ok.  1 major win, 1 major loss, 1 minor victory.

    Won first game vs. Seraphon 1st strike list.  Just barely made it out alive and came back and won on points.  Total Commitment.

    Lost 2nd game vs. Sylvaneth....WTF!!!!  Holy ****** these guys are nuts.  Unkillable hero 2+ save/rerolling 1's....a;fkldjl;sdjfjasdfl;kasfd;jasdf;kjlas.  Escalation.

    Won 3rd, went to time, I had killed more models. Places of Arcane power, we both only had 1 hero with and artefact.  I could have won a major victory on this one in my opinion.

    Good effort either way! 

    Can you remember what the sylvaneth guy played?

  9. I’m not sure how to post lists like everyone else does (is there a easy way?)

    But I’ve been testing the 1000 points recently with a megaboss, 2 warchanters, 2 brutes and 2 gore gruntas with mixed success. It’s 950 points so get 1 extra CP which helps but kind of feel the need for more bodies on the table. 

     

    Dropping a chanter gets me 130 points spare which I’m tempted to throw in a unit of 20 shootas for fun.

    I was looking to resist but I guess I cannot, looking on advise for my first 1000pt list (and shopping list at the same time):

    300  Loonboss on Mangler Squigs

    80    Fungoid 

    90    5x Boingrot Bounderz

    90    5x Boingrot Bounderz

    100  5x Squig Hoppers

    100  5x Squig Hoppers

    240  Mangler Squigs

    1000pts

     

    Alternatively I was looking into taking out Fungoid Manger for 2nd Loonboss on Mangler but magic seems just too good.

    Did I see that the fungoid is now 90 points?

    The Malign Sorcery rule book has a large selection of artefacts. 12 for each realm.

    Awesome - just found them thanks! 

    So the realm section of the main core rulebook - you dont get any advantages from that, thats only if both sides choose to fight in a particular realm?

  12. Just have a question - been playing a lot of 8th ed 40k, so picking up Sigmar 2.0 now, and I notice many people here are declaring a mortal realm withe their lists. How does that work? All I could see in the rulebook was both sides select where/which realm the battle is taking place in and that rule applies. Or is there something im missing that lets everyone select a realm to use?

    See the new video we are getting an entire Troggoth ARMY! I'm definitely getting them so will have to see how they fit in Ironjawz.

    Oh I can’t wait for these. They look so awesome! Is it going to be the same book as the Gitz? 

     

    Also - your Ardboyz in the above - how are you equipping them?

    I played a 1000 points game yesterday. Relocation orb against Khorne Bloodhound.

    My list :

    Megaboss

    Warchanter

    Warboss with banner

    Ironfist

    2*5 Brutes

    1*3 Gore Gruntas

    I did pretty well by playing the objective. I had nothing to threatened is council of Slaughter Priest (he was playing Gore Pilgrims) so between prayers and buffs, I decide to avoid the fight. He ended up doing mistakes to score points before it was to late and my megaboss with destroyer starts his rampage. Really good game, this army is far less nobrainer than I thougt !

    Interesting list - and good to hear someone playing 1000 point games! 

    Ive been running the standard megaboss, warchanter, weirdnob, 2 x 3 Gore Gruntas and 2 x 5 brutes. Wasnt sure if spending money on ironfist pays off in the lower point games but might have to give it a try. 

    Def playing to the objectives usually is the only way I can manage to win. My local GW store people bring the cheese pretty hard so it can be tough. 

  15. Have thoroughly enjoyed reading through this. As a 40k player, I've seen some of the AoS stuff up at my local GW store and was tempted to grab something to take part in the once a month 1000 point days. Always regretted not having an Orc 40k army (I'm a boring ultramarine guy), so this thread inspired me to head up and I bought the Ironjawz getting started box, as well as the thunderfist battleforce. 

    Should have me covered for a while! Definitely thinking mostly black on their amour, with some red accenting everywhere. Just need a catchy name for them now!

    Hardest part im finding is just figuring out what weapons to add! I didnt really think much for the ardboyz, i just glued on what was cool. For the brutes (I have 10), am thinking I just need to stick with two choppas for everyone, with the 1 in 5 having a gore choppa (as two units of 5). Any suggestions?
