  1. This would go a long, LONG way to helping KO. Current meta favours horde units, resilient characters, and summoning - in this respect KO are majorly behind the times. The traditional Clown Car does not cut it anymore sadly, mainly because even if you kill off a decent portion of your opponents unit in early game - it's irrelevant if they have the bodies left to hold objectives. Or, produce new bodies to do the same. KO (as well as quite a few Destruction factions) are just going to struggle now, because their ability to hold objectives is as a huge disadvantage compared to other factions that can either summon (Seraphon, Chaos, Death etc), are hyper mobile (SCE, Idoneth, Sylvaneth), or are hyper resilient (Nurgle, Fyreslayers etc).
  2. Ahh sounds good. I know it's not the place for it - *whispers* your Phoenix Temple look ace. Will be interesting to see how they perform, have a lot of decent warscrolls, just seem to lack the army synergy (that you obviously get from a book these days)? I played: KO (clown car), SCE (warrior brotherhood), Tzeentch (Tzaangor bomb, skyfire, LoC). Felt incredibly lucky to survive all 3 to be honest. The first game the Lobbers abandoned me a bit, despite both being sat on Damned. They did some work against the SCE though, pinging off some vital wounds, freeing up some units for optimal combat conditions. They were invaluable against Tzeentch however. Knocking off a Tzaangor Shaman in a swift clunk. Then T4, killed off a herald-on-disc that was holding an objective, letting my Warchanter run straight on for double points. They're definitely dicey, at 1 shot a piece, but I'm happy with how they worked!
  3. This is ace mate! I saw your pre-game shot on Twitter so good to see some follow-ups, and that your Lobbers are working out for you! I managed 3 major vics the other day, Lobbers did a lot better than I anticipated (not great, but good enough). Might update my thread somewhere if I can dig the thing out! Also great to see you're still updating this bad boy
  4. This is a huge dilemma now - 140 pts either gets you a hero for Duality with a nice save and is great in combat, or, a shed-load of wounds that move quick and are good for early objective grabbing and are *probably* more applicable for the rest of the scenarios. Definitely no easy answer..
  5. *opens up Scrollbuilder* *adds 10 Brutes* *deletes 5* *adds 5* *deletes 5* *repeats until early hours*
  6. FYI these lists are identical bar the latter one being -1 unit of Brutes? Did you leave off Ironfist by accident or something? Regardless, my penny.... I played 2 games at the weekend with no Warchanters whatsoever and the performance of the Brutes was noticeably lacking. I missed that +1 to hit in situations where I was fighting lesser infantry (and not getting any re-rolls). I know you've mentioned it a few times, as much as I love Megaboss on foot, (he's choppy and has that lovely 3+ save), but he can go entire games without doing much, especially as 140pts gets you Gruntas now. I'm currently writing lists with 2 chanters instead of a MB on foot, not only re-inserting that +1 to hit, but also making my hero-options more flexible. That said! Megaboss on foot, does provide that re-rolling 1s, to multiple units (in distance), and it works in every combat phase (rather than the chanter's single combat phase buff) - so, there is scope for saying a single Megaboss on foot (positioned correctly) can have a wider benefit than a Warchanter (or 2). I'm still debating this, and it all comes down to what you can fit in the list I guess. I'm also now using 4x5 Brutes, and I didn't miss the 10-strong unit to be honest... it gave me more flexibility and split my opponent's targeting up. If you took 4x5, freeing up 180 in List2 for some Ardboys? Gives you a lot of bodies and still enough heroes. You've got 2 Warchanters in there so 2 sets of Brutes or your Krusha are getting the +1 each per turn?
  7. @Ben - I know the pack isn't up yet, just curious as to the finish time on Sunday? Just trying to calculate trains etc Cheers!
  8. In this vein, I feel compelled to report my cabbage did 7 mortal wounds with its bulk the other day...! Sadly it was against some Bloodreavers, and he was subsequently counter-charged by a horde of bloodletters who killed him in one turn...... but hey! Great to see the reports back on this thread mate, keep them coming. All the best with Blackout! Had hoped to come, but the travel/accom ended up being a bit too pricey, especially with Finals round the corner. Hope all goes well!
  9. That's a serious dietary choice right there...
  10. +2 Especially as there wasn't any digi-ticket or receipt when purchasing. Would be reassuring to see names tallied up!
  11. I may have missed you doing this previously, but would be great if you could ever do tutorials/vids/photos etc on how you did these? The line-work, muscles, metals, everything, really quite amazing. The weathering as well - I've not even begun trying to weather any of my Ironjawz yet, but would really like to. I've watched various Duncan vids and stuff on YouTube, but seeing how you did it to yours, and your aesthetic, would be ace. Even a podcast or 2 on it maybe? I know you've done a few hobby ones in the past (remember a very good one with Matt). Anything though really. I for one, envy the skills of our Ironjawz overlord! (Also, congrats on your time at EGGs, won't spoil this thread, but from the looks of Twitter you didn't fair badly at all!)
  12. @Chris Tomlin no problem mate, glad it's been useful for you! They look ace as well, those palisades in particular (much bigger than I thought!) Looking forward to seeing some paint on them. Sadly mine have been neglected since I built them as I got side-tracked painting some reinforcements for my Ironjawz (+40k....), but will hopefully get some WIPs up soon too.
  13. I have to admit all of my FF knowledge is from the films.... (awful I know). Tempted to try and pick up a PS4 during the Christmas sales, really intrigued by the universe. My FLG has the card game in too now so I've been eyeing up that. ANYWAY - apologies for derailing your thread with computer games... Just started listening to the RAW17 episode of TBS this morning, looking forward to updates of your Ironjawz heading into it!
  14. This is wonderful, seriously great piece of hobby
