Whoa, that LoC is craaaaazy nice! Chaos has already had more fantastic models released for AoS than anyone else, but this is just on another level entirely.
What am I saying, I don't even play Chaos...
That could all "change" in Tzaanuary ....

Ye, looks like a grappling hook/harpoon of some sort.

Yeh they really do.
James Hewitt confirmed to me at the recent Warhammer World Open Day that the Human and Orc teams will be getting individual teams boxes (same sprues as boxed game) soon, so I expect to see plenty of Ardboys as per the above!
Ye, I think I saw this somewhere else as well. The are much better fit with the brutes than the existing ardboys. Excited now!
-
As soon as they roll out boxes of the greenskinz blood bowl team, I will be picking some up for sure. They make awesome Ard boys.

I don't mean to be a dingus (although I probably am) but I just wanted to comment that there are reasons to sign uo with twitch directly and to avoid using Amazon because of their extreme tax avoidance practices.
I won't go on about it as I certainly don't want to take away revenue for tga (buy scenery dice instead!) but you can read more about it here if you are interested: http://www.ethicalconsumer.org/commentanalysis/corporatewatch/isittimetoboycottamazon.aspx
Ye, Amazon owns twitch, so either way, you would be supporting them. If anything, at least using the prime method you get to support TGA.
While tax avoidance is frowned upon, it's best to not even mention it in a place like this. It isn't illegal and almost everyone has taken part in it in some way. Guess we should stop paying into pensions or taking advantage of tax free ISA accounts.
Stream last night was awesome and I encourage everyone who hasnt seen it yet to check it out.
Will be watching today based on what I have seen so far. Had high expectations and wasn't disappointed.

Just caught up on the thread. Loving the reports and keep going back to look at your gore gruntas for inspiration. I have a 37 model Ironjawz army, similar to yours and currently only 13 models are painted to a table top standard. I only got back into the hobby in the summer having not painted a model since I was a wee guy.
This is my 13th model. Still learning techniques and haven't finished highlighting. Still got a ways to go, bit felt it was only fair to post it here given that I have got most of my inspiration from the thread.
Looking forward to the next battle report.

Let me preface this by apologizing if this has already been mentioned.
I think they should address certain buffs. Specifically buffs that give +1 to hit. Currently units that deal mortal wounds on a roll of 6 can be given these buffs and deal mortal wounds on a 5 or 6.
I believe the +1 to hit should affect only the to hit. ie if they hit on a 4+ now they hit on a 3+ and maintain the 6 for mortal wounds. This is already a powerful ability to buff it further by increasing its chances of happening to 33% is insane.
I mention this after having had my entire 10 man unit of Ard Boys deleted by rétributions or judicature (the ones with the Hammers) causing 2 mortal wounds per 5 or 6 to hit. Maybe thst is just sour grapes on my part but it seemed insanely powerful.

I disagree. I think it is intended that they buff the abilities you mention. It says in the retributer rules, "hits of 6 or more" for a reason.

Great write up. Liked the mad Max spraying of your mouth part haha.

Absolutely stunning. Hope you are still running your ironjawz next year when I get a chance to go to some of the southern tournament so that I can see them in the flesh. I'm just about to start painting my gore gruntas myself so these are truly inspiring.

Any word if there will be new warscroll or points to go with them?
In the FAQ they have said that summoned scenery costs no points.

@Chris Tomlin listened to qwerty on YouTube to see who they were. Did remind me of slipknot from back in the day. Their masks are utterly terrifying though haha.
-
Big ****** was probably the intent.
My Wierdnobs name is Prince Albert as that is an awfully weird thing to do....
Having looked up Mushroomhead now though, I don't thing I will ever sleep again....

At this point, silence says as much as any amount of words when it comes to your conversions and painting lol. Yet to see anything that isn't awesome.
I got a 2000 point game in yesterday against nurgle demons with some rot bringers. Stole you deployment from the battle report you had on twitter and won 14 - 9. List was the same except I had the shaman instead of the ardnob
No idea how much that video has changed my game play.
Feel that i want to drop the gruntas for 10 more ardboys and would only consider the extra 10 brutes and dropping the cabbage in a dual list tournament because the model is just fantastic and fun. And brings the mortal wounds. Looking forward to seeing what you achieve with it though.

@Chris Tomlin Loves the Battle report on Periscope. Hope to see more of these. Feel I learned a lot as well, one of my main opponents being Sylvaneth and have struggled with them a lot. Granted, mostly at 1000 - 1500 points as we are building up our armies.
Look forward to the last match at Warlords. You seem to be doing pretty well at all these tournaments!-

Just saw that you have a periscope battle report up on twitter. Watched the list selection ones so far. More of this! Really good stuff and seems quite simple/non obtrusive way to do a battle report on the fly.

Oooo you got me curious about your theory list. Been toying around with a few myself like a 2 megaboss and lots of brutes. Just not sure how much pain I could bring given how I struggle as is to kill 2+ saves, ignoring rend 1, and save reroll stuff.

Ye, I was keeping an eye on the ironjawz/destruction armies at the tournament and watched what I could on twitch. I was working on the Saturday and they don't seem to have posted the recordings like GW did for their tournament so I missed the majority of it.
Managed my first minor victory vs the sylvaneth army I have played a bunch. It was only a 1500 point game and he didn't have his Alarielle and Druthu combo but after getting smashed by him so many times I was well stoked.
I also played a game vs Ironjawz as well which was hilarious. He had Gordrakk so it was like a power struggle between him and my Megaboss. Managed to kill 2 ardboys with crushing bulk wiping them out, then charged into his Gordrakk to kill him with crushing bulk, then charged into his warchanter almost killing him with it...
Looking at this for my list :
Megaboss on Mawcrusher - Hagrid and Norbert (reunited at last)Megaboss Gary
Ardnob Prince Albert / Wierdnob Duncan (Managed to get 2 foot of gorks off while next to arcane scenery and 20 models nearby in one game. Thoughts??)
Warchanter Disco Steve
10 Brutes 2"
5 Brutes 1"
10 Ardboys
10 Ardboys
10 Ardboys
Ironfist
You changing your list up at all?
Thanks again for the thread. -
Loving the write up of these battles. Really helping me when it comes to learning the game and Ironjawz.
Looking forward to hearing how you get on this weekend. Keeping an eye on twitter!

Yup I have been absent for the most part due to WoW legion. Still love this thread though and plan on startingmy own at some point

Sign me up. This will be my first wargame tournament ever. Been a long term lurker. Is that OK?
-
Well done @Chris Tomlin
Well deserved in my opinion. Nicely painted as well as an unusual colour scheme.
Look forward to hearing about the games!
-
Autocorrect is great...
Corrected lol.

Thanks for that. Never thought about stacking the +1s. What about dropping ravager for the +1 to hit command trait?
Another thing I am curious about is how you find your megaboss on foot. Not sure if it is just me but I can't get him in to a fight easy. Find he is so slow behind the rest of my force and gets shot at a lot.
Also, going to steal your basing idea big time. What colours did you use? Lol

Well, they have 1 attack vs the 2 of the Kurnoths.
Shorter range but they are faster than kurnoths.
Less wounds, but again faster.
Can deal d3 mortal wounds where as kurnoths can deal a mortal wound per base in melee.
Kurnoths can reroll all failed saved if they activate their ability.
20 points a difference. I don't think they are OP.
