TheNotebookGM

Oh snap, that's amazing, I hadn't been factoring that in to my lists.

List looks good but only one of your Mags can have a trait unless you run Lofnir.

It is super powerful, just not my bag personally. I neither want to spend that much money or that many points on one unit. I prefer a more generalist list usually. I'm also not a super competitive person though. My goal is 3 wins, really. Too much stress at the top. Too much pressure to chase the metadragon.

This is my thought, although I've been using Greyfyrd as a way to avoid paying for a battalion when list building, none of which excite me.

People get down on Greyfyrd but I was really wanting for some of them sweet unbinds yesterday. Is it worth taking it just to get access to AshCloud Rune and Nulsidian?

Okay cool, because I'm going to flip if someone tries to tell me my vulkites don't have throwing axes because I put grapnels and power tools on their belts. I will not stand for counting already nearly useless axes, haha.

I've been wondering about this too. My units are mostly done up properly but as an example my "Battlesmith" is actually a Runefather on Foot holding a banner from a unit of Swordmasters, with a headpiece from an Archmage with the talon of a High Warden wrapped around it. That said it is clearly "Dwarf Hero With Big Banner" - I'm going to my first GT this fall and this thread is giving me the stress.

I'd go for the first one, the HGB are fun but you'll be glad for the extra wounds on the table without a mag there to occupy a flank.

Played 1k vs. Stormcast today, felt the pain that is Evocators but was quite happy with my Vulkites. It is nice that they have a little more meat to them in units of 10. Hearthguard melted against aforementioned Evocators but I had also misapplied them. Wish I had used my Magdad better, kept having key units out of his Hermdar bubble. That said he is a total monster in a fight, popping the rend rune makes and having the extra rend on Magmadroth Melee rolls of 6 is quite spicy. Lost on points but it was definitely on me and not on the stuntibois. Now that I'm closer to more games I'm excited to get more in depth.

Oh, even better, looks great then.

Your math is off, lad. 20 Vulks is 320, not 260. Drop 10 of them and that looks solid as hell.

You could make a pretty cool list with what you have without buying much. Runemaster (General) Runesmiter Battlesmith Grimwrath Chosen Axes & Fjul 2 Runesons on Magmadroth 1x10 Vulkites 1x20 Vulkites 1x15 Auric Hearthguard Forge Just grab one more SC and the forge

Hey so is the Gunhauler a complete waste of my time? I want it in my Fyreslayers army because I like the model and it is fluffy and would match my skywardens but I'm worried literally any Fyreslayers unit would be a better call.

So far I am between Greyfyrd and Hermdar for Lodges- I like the Magmadroths but the lore for my army is that of scavengers and vagabonds and I just don't see them as having a huge bench of the beasts, besides, I want to incorporate the Skywardens I have (I love those models and they are what brought me to AoS) and maybe some Gyrocopters or a Gunhauler (although I feel like the angels of better nature will shout this down since neither of these are known for their performances) So far this is what I have (1180pts total) Runefather on Magmadroth Runesmiter on foot Grimwrath Berserker 20 Vulkite Berserkers 5 Hearthguard Berserkers 6 KO Skywardens With a generous reading of the Allies rules I can run a 1250 point game just fine using this list, and I want to get it up to 2k by November because I'll be attending my first GT. I like what I have so far (although I'd be willing to get rid of the 5 HGB for an Auric Hearthguard centered theme), I really just need to add 820 points to what is listed here- it doesn't have to be spectacular or terribly powerful, just something to have a good weekend away from home. I'd love to hear what everyone thinks now that we have alot more info to work with.

You know, nevermind, I have no idea what I want. Edited to reflect my indecision.

I'm in Brooklyn, and I run a mixed aelf, fyreslayer, KO list right now and I'm pretty sure by november my General and his Reaver friends are going the way of the dodo. I'm sure i'll just pick up another box of Skywardens and a couple Grimwraths and just run Fyreslayers for the Tournament.

Deepstriking 3 Grimwraths with a Runesmiter is my fondest wish for this army.

@gjnoronh just gotta hope either A) half my army doesn't get legacied or B) my roommate will paint me a bunch more dwarves beforehand because I'm awful.

Gonna try to make Da Boyz this year!

This update will be enough to get me to keep up my Fyreslayers, all I ever really needed was for the Aurics and Magmas to feel useful. I don't mind the nudity or even the sameyness. I've got mine all kitted out with unique weapons and some spare KO gear anyhow (they are teamed up with some Skywardens as a company of scavengers and mercs, The Gyrforge Buzzards). My only other wishlist is to have Grimwraths be able to move/tunnel with Runesmiters as a unit. 3 of those suckers with a Runesmiter would be a fun alpha.

What if it is the front of a helm that has horns or tusks coming out either side?

I want this so bad.

RE pic looks like that stuff is coming off some sort of shoulder piece.

Maybe that eagle on his shoulder is that RE pic everyone thought was the front of a chariot?

At moths with frilly ears.
