Afternoon all, bit of advice please if you guys have a sec. Basically I have:
Start Collecting box
The new Fomo Box
Foot heroes apart from Doomseeker and Berserker
4 boxes of Hearthguard
Was gonna run Greyfyrd:
Father on Droth
Son
Master
Smiter
Smith
10 pickbros
10 double axe bros
10 HGB
15 HGB
5 Aurics
Was thinking more units might help me get more board coverage or should I just go 3x10 HGBs and shoehorn some extra stuff in? Ta!!
-
Ok guys:
Vulkites - Picks any good? Or double axes? Or axe and shield? Basically I really like the pickaxes am I losing out if I build them?
HGBs - which weapon option?
Aurics - yea or nay?
1 droth or multidroth?
Any heroes you just wouldn’t take at all?
Ta!!
-
I honestly think that building a Magmadroth is one of the most psychologically damaging experiences I’ve had in AoS.

If anyone has any feedback on the colour scheme for my army test model would be super grateful. Obviously painter skills aren’t amazing but wanna get the colours right. First pic in the post is a WIP (by accident), scroll down a bit for the finished ones. Have some lava bases to put them on when they’re done. Ta!!

Magnets, or tacky glue so you can replace them easily.
Great shout. Vulkite with shield and pick tacked on it is.

Want to paint a tester model for my new FS army but don’t want to commit to any particular weapon options before the new battletome which will hopefully come out at some point. Can anyone suggest a safe bet for one model to build and paint that will hopefully be fairly futureproof? Ta!!

Don’t suppose anyone’s got a copy of the assembly instructions for the Runemaster they could take a quick photo of and post up for me? Long story 😅. Cheers.
-
So, what’s the artefact for a MBoMK now? Or is there even one worth having?
-
Has anyone got a second to post up the base size of a Sludgeraker please? Proxying a couple in for a tester game while I wait for mine to arrive.

Any been using a Sludgeraker and / or Supa Sneaky in a BW lists? Think a Fast ‘in Sludgeraker with a MBoMK might have some decent alpha potential if you get given first turn and see a good opportunity?

The list looks good model wise, but I have some questions on what you intent to do with the super sneaky trait. Do you plan to teleport the sludgeraker? He packs a punch, but I wonder if you would get more damage if you kept him near your boltboyz to use his buff. If you want to teleport something at the back of your opponent lines the breakboss would be a better option. You could change a Gutrippaz for him.
Also, do you need the second artifact that bad? Putting the shamans on the battle regiment would give you a 2 drop list.
This is gold, thanks man. Will change for 2 drops and yeah, the Supa Sneaky is just to cover any deployment errors and nudge stuff about for ranges. Not had a go with Sludge-powered Boltboyz yet but would like to see it.

I do not own the killabow, so I think maybe it will be replaced by some savage boar boyz. But maybe I should get one 🤔 how is your success with it?
Errrr… It reminds me a bit of Skaven artillery, except it’s even more feast-or-famine. Do find myself rolling a 1 fairly frequently. Mind games are key though, it definitely gives monster-heavy lists something to think about and if you roll well the damage spikes massively.
Love the idea of the SBBs by the way, may well have a game with them one time. I generally like the idea of trying to include some Bonesplitterz but every time I think about a unit I like (eg. Boarboys), I look at the IJ equivalent (Gruntas) and decide against them.

Well, after much theorycraft and testing I think I’ve finally found my list:
Allegiance: Big Waaagh!
- Grand Strategy: Hold the Line
- Triumphs: Inspired

Megaboss on Maw-Krusha (480)**
- General
- Boss Gore-hacka and Choppa

- Warbeat: Fixin' Beat

Wurrgog Prophet (150)*
- Lore of the Savage Beast: Gorkamorka's War Cry
Swampcalla Shaman with Pot-grot (105)*
- Lore of the Swamp: Choking Mist
Battleline
10 x Orruk Brutes (320)**
- Pair of Brute Choppas
- Reinforced x 1
5 x Orruk Ardboys (85)**
10 x Gutrippaz (180)**
Units
3 x Orruk Gore-gruntas (150)**
- Pig-iron Choppas
6 x Man-skewer Boltboyz (240)**
- Reinforced x 1
Artillery
Beast-skewer Killbow (130)**
Core Battalions
*Command Entourage - Magnificent
**Battle Regiment
Additional Enhancements
Artefact
Total: 1955 / 2000
Reinforced Units: 2 / 4
Allies: 0 / 400
Wounds: 129
Drops: 4So obviously it all dies / loses to Sentinels, Bowsnakes etc., but as a half-decent BW list I think it holds up.
It all castles up with overlapping buffs nicely and can move out of the castle quickly if it does need to go first.
Killbow is swingy but Boltboyz have been deadly for me and can be teleported with GGHoG.
Low points gives decent shout of a triumph and future-proofs inevitable Grunta points rises.
5 Ardboys screen for a Brute counterpunch. Gutrippaz over 10 Ardboys as there’s a tiny chance they might live long enough to get some synergy with the Swampcalla, whereas Boys are way down the list of potential targets for the WC.
Obviously Wurrgog is super fun times.
Just wanted to share but any improvement suggestions much appreciated!!

The musican is easy, because you have a spare Hobgrots horn that you can attach to the belt of a gutrippa
Legendary. Might just paint one of the Scareshields in a radically different colour and call him the banner bearer or something.
-
I’ve just started painting my Dominion Gutrippaz and realised there’s no banner or musician… Anyone got a quick fix? Don’t have any other Gutrippa boxes or anything unfortunately.
-
1 inch or 2 inch range weapons on the Gutrippaz chaps? Guess the majority of damage comes from fishing for MW so the 2 inch?

Both more solid list I think. Personnaly i prefer the second (i might even drop 1 warchanter for more bodies but it's arguable)
Another variant would be to switch warlord for command entourage. Going from 5 to 4 drop would give you who go first pick against other list with Warlord, at the expense of 1 CP per game
Command Entourage is a great shout, had completely forgotten about that. Could even swap the 2nd Warchanter for a cheeky unit of 3 Boltboyz as that takes it to 2k on the nose but it’s probably overkill.

@5kaven5lave I'm not sure i see the synergy in your list. You have lot of shooting that will not benefit from mid game big waaagh bonus. I think big waaagh objective is play heavy melee with some shooting. With so much shooting you could almost justified Gordrack tough
i also think Wurgog is worth the extra investiment over the wardock.
Yeah, good points, think I got a bit carried away with the shooting, gonna try either:

Might try this one over the weekend, MSU target saturation teleport shooting with a MBoMK pushed into your face…? Probably won’t work but wanna try out some Boltboyz and a second Killbow. Forgot about not being able to have 9s in BW as they aren’t battleline which is a bit sad face. Trying to reduce drops a little bit to try to get in first vs. at least a couple of lists.

Yes, 9 Boltboyz are good, especially with Poisons and All Out Attack.
Yes, Dominion Hobgrotz are the exact same models as the new box, complete with musicians and banners.
Big love, thanks man.

What ho chaps. 2 quick questions:
Are blocks of 9 Boltboyz any good?
Do the Hobgrots in the Dominion box have banners etc.?
Cheers!!

Had my game with the list above vs. Stormcast dragon-y list, they had:
Stardrake with AoD, Tauralon, Castellant
2x2 Dracoths, 2x2 new Stormdrakes (proxies)
Lost by 1 point on the battle plan with one in each territory and 2 in the middle (the 1-2-4 point one).
Basically made the error of overextending with the MBoMK turn one and ended up half-killing 2 units rather than crushing one, losing points and tempo.
Was a bloody battle, very little alive at the end. Killbow is a high priority target and didn’t survive turn 1.
Love the Wizard coven but they achieved very little, only got a handful of spells off and didn’t manage any unbinds with Gobsprakk. He also died before he could swing so a disappointing game from him after failing to get off a single spell in 4 rounds.
Proper funny game all in all but more testing required. Really want the magic build to work so will keep trying, feel like it’s a lot to commit when everything casts on such high numbers.

What’s the verdict on reroll chants vs. additional range for prayers? Was probably gonna go for rerolls to give a better chance of it going off?
HGBs in 10s or 15s?
Also, I really wanna take Aurics, will this end badly?
