Hey guys, can y’all learn me on using the Royal Mordant hero phase move to get out of combat? Does it count as a retreat? Can I still move in movement phase? Super confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What’s going on guys. Been a while! Back in the saddle with my Gutbusters and went hard all weekend. Had two 1k point narrative events and had a 2k match play game against Brass Stampede this morning. Go over my results from the events and my battle report for the 2k game. Link below. Also got a treat in the way of photos from the game that my friend decided to do. Hope y’all enjoy.

For a unit of 12 ogors, I have a question about the ability Bull Charge
Bull Charge:
You can re-roll wound rolls of 1 for an Ogor unit if it made a charge move in the same turn. If the unit also has 10 or more models, you can re-roll all failed wound rolls instead.
Does this ability only work on turns that the Ogor unit charged? Or if it has 10+ models, will it activate on subsequent turns (or on turns that the unit was charged)?Remember there are two player turns in one battle round. So when you charge it’s your turn, and subsequently it ends when that turn is over. Just some rules clarification to make life easier.

Hello fellow Busters,
Got a few questions. The first is: I am planning to do a conversion with my non-cauldron butcher converting his weapons on his arms making them stump weapons and adding a chain with a cauldron. My question to you is, do you know of any good ways to get such a cauldron, be it third party, or even sculpting it.
My second question is, what do you guys think of the Ironblaster and Scraplauncher in the current horde meta? I know they are still unreliable because of the 1 shot only, but especially with the mass regiments I wonder what your opinions are about these units.Appreciate your feedback bud. We are in a tough spot for sure. All we can do is squeeze out every drop and hope for some luck.
Easiest cauldrons to make are from the Ironblaster set. I used the scraplauncher bit to make the cauldron. Can also use the little kettle from the Stonehorn.
Both the Ironblaster and Scraplauncher are awful. Think of them as chariots with a random missile weapon that can’t hit a barn door. I wouldn’t add one in a list unless it was 80pts. Lol.

Got a couple games in last two days. Rematch against the Nurgle list with its new and improved Skaven warscrolls. Also got a match in against Daughters. Using the same pack for upcoming tournament. Only change in list is back to Shackles instead of Swords.
Both losses. Got stomped by Nurgle in Better Part of Valor. He was into my deployment turn 1 and there was no digging out of it.
Lost to DoK in Focal Points on turn 4 when my army fell apart and he max scored to seal it. Was doing about as good as I could have when it all went down the toilet. Lol.
Anyhow, got a few pics to share and video.

I use Gutsman, and regular Maneater models(2 Empire and 1 Rolling Pin). I also have a Tyrant but he is kitted with dual weapons.
All of them fit great on 50mm bases and stand out on their own.
-
Got another game in using the same pack from last game. Played a nasty high speed Nurgle list. This time I changed it up and went with Realm of Fire so I could pick up Stoke Rage and Inferno Blades for my wizards. Made a compromise with the artifact and it was sadly noticeable. Not hitting on 2’s is the damn devil.
Got a few pics in. Won 17-16 end of turn 5. Also will put the video report in the comments.
There is a pic in there with one of my Tyrants fully buffed with Cauldron and spells and did 16 damage to 5 Blightkings. Not the most damage but that’s off a 3+ save Great Weapon dude.
Hope y’all enjoy the pics and vid.

Nice! I love that Tyrant Spam has become a thing
What did you roll up on the Big Names?
General and another got 2” movement, one got 3+ save, and always the one gets +1 wound. I really like have so many Tyrants. They are a pest.

Pulled the Ogors out tonight to try and regain some dignity from the last beating.
Border War in the Realm of Life.
Won the game 22-18 end of turn 5. Ran a modified multiple Tyrant list with more command points. Took lots of pics. Will have the video discussion in the comments. Hope y’all enjoy.

Hey all. Got a game in against the new Gloomspite book last Friday. Played Focal Points in the Realm of Metal. The Realm didn’t matter too much as I got spanked pretty hard by turn 3. Did a short video on the fight. Will be my last Gutbuster post for a while as I’m taking a break from the army and starting something different for 2019.
Wanted to say thank you to everyone in the community for supporting me while I talk about the Guts.

Hey fellas, got a quick question for y’all. How do yalls Castelants and Relictors pray twice a turn? I can’t find the rules that allow this. Just looking for some rules clarification. Appreciate any help.

Hey all. Had a game yesterday against Cleansing Phalanx SCE. It was a pretty terrible match up. Played Escalation in the Realm of Hysh. Video goes everything. Sorry I didn’t get more pictures. It was mainly me getting my butt kicked all over the table.

Hello all! Got a game in last night against Clan Skryre. The brutal Alpha Stormfiend Flamer spam. Knife to the Heart mission. Lost half my army turn 1. Battled back to get a win on a turn 5 run roll. Was exhausting.
Heres a quick video report on the game. Only had one picture because my brain was preoccupied. Lol. But y’all get the idea.

Hello all! Got a game in against Skaven. 200 wounds against the list I’ve been practing with. Mission was Scortched Earth. For those not interested in the video report, my opponent conceded top of turn 3. Hope y’all enjoy the video, it goes over the game in detail. Here’s some pics and a link to the video. Thanks guys!

Grettings all! Got a game today against Neferata and friends. He had the New Lamia battalion as well. I used the 4 Tyrant list again as I continue to practice with it. I go over my list and my opponents in the video report.
For those not interested in listening, we played Relocation Orb and I got the win end of turn 4, 8-5. It was a hard earned win against a pretty much entirely -1 to hit army. Tried to get good pics as well to follow along for the report, so hope y’all enjoy!

Evening all! Got a game today against Legion of Blood. Took a spin with the new list today. 4 Tyrants and 80 Grots. List will be attached. We played Duality of Death and got the win end of turn 3 for those that want a quick note. Have plenty of pics and a video report to go with them. Hope y’all enjoy!

Does anyone think that the new Grots will be an ally with Gutbusters? I saw they are combining Trogoths with Grots, and I believe Trogoths are currently a Gutbuster Ally.
Will have to wait and see bud. Everything is up in the air right now.

Got another game in today guys. Learned a valuable lesson that will hopefully click next couple games. Loss to SCE but worth it for the knowledge bump. Here’s a the report and a couple pics. Hope y’all enjoy!

So if MSU is the standard loadout to avoid battleshock shenanigans do you turn the 3 ogres into the full command ?
With minimum units of Ogors, I take the Champion, Musician, and Tribal Banner with Lookout Grot. These guys are meant to be cannon fodder so giving them the damage prevention save against shooting is the most important to me. Also good to tie up shooting units with.

Hey all! Got a battle report up for the 4 games I got in last couple days. Couple pics but not much. Two games against Daughters and two against Sylvaneth. Brutal games. Went 1-3. Learned a lot, and that’s all that matters. Hope y’all enjoy!

Been messing around with this list. Got three games in with it last couple days. Lost a nail biter to DoK and went 1-1 against Gnarlroot. Learning to handle predatory spells is a damn mini game on its own. Still on the fence with the pendulum. It’s got such a small range. Also learning to use the BSBs has been interesting. Don’t feel like I can move them because I need them to do work every round. But damn can they do some much needed ranged damage. Going back to MSU has been good I will admit. Hope to get a video out over the weekend.

Hey all! Been quiet on the Gutbuster front. Big shout out to Mick at the Irish GT for placing 1st at the tournament. Yep! Ogors took home the gold.
Had a huge game day at the house yesterday. Had some club mates doing Twitch streaming, two games worth. Can check out Sons of Slambo.
Also had a second table going. Got to fight Gnarlroot Sylvaneth. Guy I played just finished 2nd or 3rd with this list at a 20 player one day event. Used my tournament list. Here’s some pics from deployment and first comment with be the link to the video battle report.

Are butchers still worth it assuming they are likely casting against Arkhan or Nagash for the first 2 turns at least
I used to run 3. After playing games against Nagash, Arkan, and Lords of Change, I dropped down to two. Remember we take them for the cauldron roll. The magic is just a bonus and nothing to be relied on. Until we get a way to increase our casting, that's just the way it is.

Evening all! Had an awesome game tonight. Tried out my 5 Tyrant list against Destruction Monster Mash! Here's some pics and my video battlereport. As always, critique, questions, and criticisms are always welcome!

I’m really looking at the wording to retreat out in hero phase and set up to get into the combat I want in normal movement. It doesn’t say anything really. Just move in hero phase. That’s really why I’m looking for clarification.
Appreciate any help.
