    Is this ridiculous? Yes.

    Is this a 3 drop alpha strike monstrosity? Also yes.

    Everything either flies, is extremely fast or both. Keeping close together, most units can be kept under +1 hit/+1 wound bubble. Almost everything can retreat and charge. I honestly wonder if it could work, relying on going first and eliminating as many buffing units as possible and charging into things relying on charge to do damage.

    Quicksilver swords are here for mortal wound output, maelstorm because it's 10 points.

    Do I love this idea? Yes.

    NEWS FLASH: MANCUNIAN CARNAGE IS NOW SOLD OUT!

    If you'd like to be added to the reserves list then please let me know as it's already growing fast!

    Hey, 

    I bought a ticket on the forge website but I may be being blind but I'm not sure I'm on the list. Lewis Moorby. 

  3. Hey all, was wondering if you could take a look at a list I've cobbled the miniatures together for...I know mass gitz is our power play but I find them so dull so I'm looking for an ok list a 3-2/4-1 event list if played well.


    Leaders
    Skragrott, The Loonking (220)
    - General
    - Lore of the Moonclans: The Hand of Gork
    Fungoid Cave-Shaman (90)
    - Lore of the Moonclans: Itchy Nuisance
    Fungoid Cave-Shaman (90)
    - Lore of the Moonclans: Squig Lure, mommet

    Battleline
    24 x Squig Herd (280)
    24 x Squig Herd (280)
    24 x Squig Herd (280)

    Units
    6 x Fellwater Troggoths (320)
    6 x Fellwater Troggoths (320)

    Endless Spells / Terrain
    Malevolent Moon (50)
    Scuttletide (30)

    Total: 1960 / 2000
    Wounds: 206

    Now it's 1960 because I'm hopeful we get a slight drop in points and I might fit in the purple sun (going to 50pts) 

    Options I have are hoppers and boingrots but I wanted to take some of the random elements away, I could drop a unit of troggs for a mangler boss and switch him to general.

    I have a knack of picking poop lists and thinking they look good so was just hoping for some input before I paint it up. Thank you

  4. Hey guys, I recently picked up a sale on twitter of a Tzeentch army and wanted to use them in my BoC.

    I have yet to play but how does this look?

    Allegiance: Beasts Of Chaos
    Mortal Realm: Ghur

    Leaders
    Tzaangor Shaman (180)
    - General
    - Trait: Shadowpelt 
    - Artefact: Gryph-feather Charm 
    - Lore of the Twisted Wilds: Tendrils of Atrophy
    Great Bray Shaman (100)
    - Lore of the Twisted Wilds: Wild Rampage
    Great Bray Shaman (100)
    - Lore of the Twisted Wilds: Viletide

    Battleline
    30 x Tzaangors (480)
    30 x Tzaangors (480)
    10 x Ungors (60)
    - Mauls & Half-Shields
    10 x Ungors (60)
    - Mauls & Half-Shields

    Units
    6 x Tzaangor Enlightened on Disc (280)
    10 x Bestigors (120)
    10 x Bestigors (120)

    Total: 1980 / 2000
    Wounds: 200
     

    Ten drops but I'm not caring if I go first or second so it's no big deal. Shaman is -2 to hit from items, -3 with look out sir. Two big blocks of Tzaangor one for holding my backfield and one for pushing. Two units of bestigor to ambush maybe..missiles basically. 10 ungor for the alter and 10 to run with the enlightened to do a double charge (DoomandDarkness tm) and the two shamans to dish out +3 to move to the big blocks.

    What I bought had 90 tzaangor but I thought that a tad overkill...thoughts on my theory? I'm not very experienced on the table so it may suck!

    Playing around with a Gavespawn list. Really fell in love with the fluff. Suggestions for improvement would be great. Add a endless spell or not? 

    I have not had a deep dive into the book yet but this looks very good. Don't forget you get a 2nd artefact, bulk up the shaggoth maybe.

    I would trade the sorc, plague priest and vernin lord corruptor for the glottkin.

    Looks good!

    I think you are going to be disappointed by the Verminlord and Plague Priest in this list. The VLC looks great on paper but if your opponent knows that he's got a Sword of Judgment, then the VLC is going to be focus-killed quick. And the priest is awesome in a Pestilence list, but merely alright in Maggotkin. I think your 300 points are better spent on more Rotbringer units that will have the benefit of being part of The Blessed Sons (and giving you the option to deploy your army in a single drop). Maybe drop the vanilla sorcerer and stick The Glottkin in there (Fleshy Abundance will make those marauders shine). Not that you shouldn't buy/build/paint a VLC, etc also for more options... ;)

     

    Thanks for the advice. I'd certainly like the glottkin....think I( was seduced by 10 attacks on virminlord. I'll have a think.

    I'm pretty sure it was determined way back in this thread that allies can't use their command abilities. So that would be a bummer for your Vampire. I could be misremembering though as I'm new to the game. 

    Ahh, of that's is the case then the vampire is out. I'll try and do some research on allies

    Personally Im not sure why you would use a VLord in place of a mKoS as he will benefit from the allegiance abilities

    Hi, It's in a vacume as I have only read and not played but...

    Vampire - loses 2" of movement, weapon does D3 rather than two so potential for more/less, both can be mounted but I'd lose those attacks to fly. Heals 1w if it kills (both have similar), once per game heal d6. In the hero phase heal D3 to up to 3 summonable units and a command ability that gives +1 attack to a unit in 15" 

    Shrouds- extra move, etherial, can fly and be mounted, attack does 2 so maybe consistant, similar heal self 1, command ability is the same but unit must be wholley within 18"

    All that plus the vampire is a wizard, useful for mystic sheild and grabbing objectives in the scenario that matters.

    That is all just looking on paper, I may be totally wrong in practice and I'd love a discussion as to why you rate the shrouds more. Thanks

  9. Good day all.

    I'm thinking of putting together a Nighthaunt force for a 1k growing to 2k  campaign with my group.

    What do you think of...

    Allegiance: Nighthaunt

    Leaders
    Guardian of Souls with Nightmare Lantern (140)
    Spirit Torment (120)
    Vampire Lord (140)

    Battleline
    30 x Grimghast Reapers (360)
    6 x Spirit Hosts (240)

    1000/1000
    Allies: 140 / 200
    Wounds: 63

    Looks pretty solid.... the only thing I'd change,---and this is just my preference, is a blight lord instead and blight cyst. You'd have a little trouble freeing up the 20 pts, tho. And the synergy that you have would change a bit, but I like his command ability better.

    Also, check out some of the cool artifacts in the Malign sorcery book. In particular ulgu for the sword of judgement, or Ghyran for Ghyrstrike. Either of these on the Verminlord are epic.

    Thanks, yeah I was looking at blight cyst but then I watched a video comparing the two and plague actually came out on top. The good thing I suppose is that the miniatures are practically the same so I could buy the above and very easily try both.

    Also yeah...sword of judgment is what I'm looking at. So evil! I have been using it in my order army on a 6 attack character and it gets the job done...so a 10 attack, yum!

    Hi all, I'm starting up a blessed sons force as part of a narrative 2k intro game (guardians of alarielle on the other side)

    Is it ok to post WIP shots here or should I make a plog? Anyway, going for speed over quality but boy'o does Nurgle lend itself to speed painting.

    You mean the Gordrakkfist which is currently one of the strongest Ironjawz lists ?

    Sorry for being a moron...I can't seem to see anything on it. I was at an event yesterday so I am pooped!

    I was thinking a full brutefist and with a krusher but Gordrakk would be better. Then I think there is 500pts left, a warchanter and some kind of wizard?

    Oh, you're right! Double checked GHB18 and it's true! - That puts the list at 1840... Enough room to stick Gutrot in there and still have 20 points to spare! Or something completely different, who knows.

    If that was the case would you fancy upping one unit of blightkings to 10 for sailing on?

  15. Well, I stand (I'm actually sat) corrected. A well thought out use beyond 'dmg 1, useless' and yes he is looking awesome! Great job on those wings. I'm so used to Ironjawz that the synergies and tactics on MoN are taking a little getting used to but I'm looking forward to starting. Thank you.

    I run plague cyst myself. My current 2k list:

     

    Chaos Sorcerer Lord on Manticore - 200

    I'm really intrigued as I'm looking at the plague cyst as my next project, why the manticore? I can see it being useful for chasing relocation orbs and also to give your force aesthetic variation but the model unit itself looks underwhelming to me. I will admit to being ignorant of combos so I thought it best to ask.

  17. Hey Warbosses,

    In a few weeks I am at an event and wanted to run my list past you all.

    Allegiance: Ironjawz
    Megaboss on Maw-Krusha (440)
    Megaboss on Maw-Krusha (440)
    Orruk Warchanter (80)
    Orruk Weirdnob Shaman (120)
    Fungoid Cave-Shaman (80)
    - Allies
    5 x Orruk Brutes (180)
    - 1x Gore Choppas
    5 x Orruk Brutes (180)
    - 1x Gore Choppas
    3 x Orruk Gore Gruntas (140)
    3 x Orruk Gore Gruntas (140)
    Weirdfist (180)
    Swords (20)
    Total: 2000/ 2000
    Allies: 80 / 400
    Wounds: 104

    I'm a bit limited by model choice as this is my only core units but I could mix up the characters, I could drop the swords and weirdfist for two rock lobbers.

    Anyway 2 monsters with artifacts (my book isn't here so not sure what to take), 2 wizards, battalion for the CP and make it a 5 drop list

    What say you ?
