So quick rules question, if my Rockguts are hit with a -1 rend attack, can I choose the order I roll his now 6+ and the extra 5+ save?

The 6+ save comes first. It negates attacks. The 5++ comes after. This negates individual wounds that get through. 

 

Malakree beat me to it but yup!

That Mushroom looks like so much hate for horde armies. 40 Skeles just being absolutely nuked. Really tempted to add Skragrott with the Shroom to my Ironjawz just for the lulz. Combine it with a webspinner shaman casting venomous spiderlings for truly horrific levels of hate.

Also don't forget hand of gork(?) as a reposition tool. Teleporting a combat 😁wizard (arachnorok, hag) to where ever the optimal spot or onto  the table quarter that is affected by  light of the Badmoon. Between potential from big wizards and shroom you could bust peoples lines wide open. Lots of "trick shot" possibilities.

Nope you can recast your endless spells if they are dispelled

You can in fact dispel your own endless spells. Then recast with a different wizard for better positioning. Works very well with multiple wizards using bomb spells ie, stormcast meteor, possibly mushroom of mork.

I have a doubt can I shield bullgors with a row of gors and attack with the bullgors if I leave 1 inch between each gor?

Gors are on 32mm bases. That too far for bullgors with 1" reach to swing over. They would have to be spread pretty thin. Ungors with the 25mm bases would be the only shot at it consistently. The but it would still lack the relative safety of the enlighteneds reach.

This is what I’ve been searching for, so ironjawz can spam the WAAGH!? So one megaboss can spam his own CA more than once?

Yes, as many command points as they have generating a potential 0-2 attacks per command point for each melee profile for every Ironjawz unit within 15". It's swingy and usually all eggs in one basket deal.

Any thoughts on a good spell for a second Bray Shaman/Tzaangor Shaman? Tendrils of Atrophy is the obvious choice for my main Shaman, but what spell should I take on my second one? One of them will be parked by the herdstone for sacrificing.

Viscous stranglethorns in general is good. Titanic fury has worked well for me. But I run at least two Ghorghons. I run all warherd for reference. 

[AoS 2 - Beasts of Chaos Discussion]

Heres some of my Warherd! 

[AoS 2 - Beasts of Chaos Discussion]

For the God battalions I would be happy if we could just add other khorne marked units to our army. Ie Add a blood secrator and blood stoker alongside a brazen despoiler force o warherd and friends.

They said 240pts on the stream

Exactly the list I want to run in 2k points, awesome.

Interesting artefact choice, too. Would you care to explain why you had such a heavy focus on battleshock although you ran bloodtoofs? Thanks bud!

In my lead up practice games I had been running hyish or Ulgu for my magic items lens/spell mirror for protection and mirrored cuirass /miasmic blade.  But the defensive buffs were never enough. Any help With such low body count is good. But it seemed to be more diverting a trickle then any real stemming of the tide. 

When playing against people with endless spells I deployed in a large block keeping the gruntas as a wall. With my units placed a max coherence it was difficult for people to "fly" spells  over individual units leaving the damage/debuff (ugh geminids) to usually fall on the Gore gruntas. After that I just hauled off out of their range and spent my endless spell moves pushing them to empty corners. 

 

The logic behind my battle shock focus was twofold. In my practice games leading up to the tourney I played quite a few games against armies that starting stacking some serious bravery penalties or could cause additional models to flee. It was annoying to lose a Brute to battleshock when you are bravery 8. And unlike the mortal wound difficulties I knew that I could make the battleshock phase almost a non entity. My second reason was that I made the magic item choices 5 minutes before list submission and I couldn't find anything else in shyish that jumped out at me. 

It paid off in spades though. In the sylvaneth game I had a single brute boss survive the battle shock round(rolled a 5 when I had lost 4 YaY skewer) then go on to bludgeon the melee hunters with +8 atks and rerolls the following turn when I Waaaghed. 

In the second game with the BCR I had another brute boss do the same b/c he was under the Gold toof radius. Didn't have to chance that 50/50 battle shock for losing 4. Again the following combat phase saw him chain a smashing and bashing off a wounded stone horn with +7 atks and rerolls to hit.  Honestly it kept enemy units locked in place, and them dismissing a single brute as an annoyance, when they were in a position to gut them. 

The tzeentch player had spoke with my previous opponents and went out of his way to nuke off any free floating brute boss b/c of how they could turn the tides. 

Was a nice feeling going through 3 games and not losing a single model to battle shock. 

[AoS 2 - Ironjawz Discussion]

Just came off of a 30 man local tourney went 2/3 with the loss being on 11-9 places of power on top table to a tzeentch tzaangor and casters army. 

 

I ran Bloodtoofs 

Realms- shyish

MBMK

- Ethereal amulet + Prophet of the waagh

2 x chanter

-Boss skewer 

1x foot boss

-Goldtoof

1 X fungoid shaman

3 X 5 brutes

2 x 3 gruntas

Cogs

 

I have to say complete immunity to Rend with rerolling 1 much of the time and the ability to reroll crucial Waaagh dice was absolutely devastating!

Being able to stick my mug in just about anywhere shrug it off was Huge. With the big spikes in atks given by prophet (6-10 atks on 4 command points). Also the ability to squeeze out an extra atk later. Or reroll a crucial Waaagh when units were low, saw me clean through many a hairy situation. 

I'll post a summary of my Batreps later. The battle plans were randomized between rounds. My match ups were 

Game 1 - Border war - Onedrop sylvaneth army with a huge block of Melee Kurnoth hunters

Game 2 - Places of Arcane power  BCR 3 x stonehorn 2 x butcher 1 X thunder tusk 

Game 3 - Three places of power 2 x30 man blocks of tzaangors,  small batch of dogs, gaunt summoner, tzaangor shaman and Fate weaver and spells.
