Unfortunately FHGT games 4 and 5 will not be covered until early next week now...however I don't feel too bad about this given the lack of responses or interest in the last three haha!!
Such a diva!
Well I enjoyed reading them! Sounds like some cool games, although the Engine of the Gods thing just sounds horrible!
So people seem to be in love with Gore Gruntas at the moment, but the piggies didn't get a mention in your report! Do you still think they're a crucial part of your list? I'm assuming they weren't involved in any key moments, but maybe they were but it's just not particularly glamorous??
It was super interesting to hear about the Gorefist winning the GT last weekend, and I'd really love to know how they were used. But the other interesting thing about that list was the two Doom Divers - which made me take a look at them again - how do you think these compare with the spear chukkas? I've not done the math-hammer but I assume spear chukkas are slightly more reliable at damaging heroes, but the Doom Divers not needing line of sight guarantees you can aim the damage where you need it.. it's a tough choice!

I am predicting that this stage will take a further 8-10 hours alone. Absolutely crazy to think of spending so much time using one colour on one model isn't it?

I kinda enjoyed it, but it was tough going. Stay strong brother!

The Black Sunz - Ironjawz - Update 28/02 - PICS! Whole new army painted!!
in Destruction
Posted
Yeah I was just teasing
I totally understand, actually the cool little destruction community on here is great, really helps raise my enthusiasm levels about the Ironjawz (and destruction in general) and you've been a big of it.
I used to play Orcs & Goblins back in fantasy but hadn't played for years. When I started getting interesting in AoS I came on here and reading through all the discussions you guys were having about Ironjawz is a big part of why I stayed green (must admit I was pretty tempted by the gorgeous Sylvaneth and Kharadron Overlords minis). That and seeing you and @Paul Buckler play on warhammer TV and just thinking "wow Ironjawz are cool!" Haha.
Yeah I would *love* to listen to that conversion. Tales of Sigmar podcast have a great episode where they chatted to the guy who won Heat 3 with squigs, that was so cool.
Yeah I love the he took Gorefist, not something I'd ever considered. It's also interesting that he's got 20 Ardboyz - I'm curious if really likes that unit (and why) or if it was more a question of having the models. In my mind on just wondering why not 2 of 10? Plus he got highest kill points, right? How did that happen?! When I look at his list I see a mawcrusher and chaff, so I definitely must be looking at it wrong
Oh sure, they're still WIP - only thing that's really done in my mind are the metals (which admittedly is most of them). I'm going for all natural rust & skin colours - I decide I couldn't imagine my Orruks hanging around to paint their armour / nails so the only ornamentation in planing on giving them is scratched symbols into the metal...
Oh and yeah their bases are upside down, planning on filling them up with water effect. They live in a swamp, hence all the rust
