[AoS2 - Dankhold Troggoth Discussion]

So far for meeting engagements I have:
Troggboss
Rockgut x 2
Fellwater x1

With the remaining 300 points I was thinking either:
-Dankhold and a fungoid

- 2 units of Fellwater

-another unit of 6 Rockgut

-1 Fellwater and 1 Rockgut

What do yall think?

[AoS2 - Dankhold Troggoth Discussion]

Anyone try out meeting engagements yet?

You looking for a fight m8? The Hag is my favourite model 

It's so, so bad.  I wouldn't be surprised if it gets nerfed next FW rules pass (RIP my beautiful plague toads).

There is only one list that people should be playing

 

Spearhead: Troggboss

Main Body: Troggoth Hag and 3 Fellwaters

Rearguard: 3 Fellwaters

Too bad her model is terrible.

I'd do 5 squigs myself.  They amount to far more wounds and can spread attacks out a lot more since they should all operate independently in the skirmish rules.

Wouldn't the 6+ save come back to haunt you on bravery tests?  Assuming they try to pick off the squigs before attacking the bounders.

[AoS 2 - Gloomspite Gitz Discussion]

1 rockgut or 5 squig herd for skirmish?

Honestly, I say just pick whichever one you think looks cooler.

I, unfortunately, kitbashed one before looncurse got teased so mine has a weapon that could pass as either.

[AoS 2 - Gloomspite Gitz Discussion]

What weapon, with skirmish or warcry in mind, is better for the loonboss on great cave squig?

For the one on the right that is straddling the Squig you could sculpt some sort of saddle.

Ended up doing this.

[AoS 2 - Gloomspite Gitz Discussion]

Looking for some feedback on these poses for my loonboss on great cave squig. I feel like the one on the right is more natural, but the legs have to really bow out for it to work.

 

[AoS 2 - Gloomspite Gitz Discussion]

How big is the loonboss on cave squig compared to the squig hopper kit?

[AoS 2 - Gloomspite Gitz Discussion]

How would the rockguts throwin boulders ability work in skirmish?

2nd one takes my fancy

I like that it has more bodies, but man, bounders have such better stats.

[AoS 2 - Gloomspite Gitz Discussion]

Which list looks better and which looks more fun for skirmish?  I love the new squigs and the new trolls, the old stuff not so much.

Loonboss on cave squig
Bounders x 7

Loonboss on cave squig
Bounders x 4
Herd x 5

Loonboss on cave squig
Rockgut
Bounder x 4

No range, no unbind.

Can't it still be unbound if your wizard is within 30"?

[AoS 2 - Maggotkin of Nurgle Discussion]

I don't see the big deal with Plague Squall.  You still have to be successful with your cast, not have it be dispelled ( at 30" with no LOS), and THEN hit at least one 6 on 7 die.

[AoS 2 - Maggotkin of Nurgle Discussion]

I don't think it will get changed.  You can only use it if you are already taking a huge core tax.

Maybe I'll try this since it includes things I own.

FAQ incorrect steal? it seems very very worth it!

FAQ incorrect?

[AoS 2 - Maggotkin of Nurgle Discussion]

I was lamenting not having a battalionthat uses blightkings and pusgoyles and here it was the whole time.

[AoS 2 - Maggotkin of Nurgle Discussion]

Hmmm, so Blessed Sons seems pretty okay.  I totally glanced over it before.  100 points for another artifact, cp, reduces my armies drop count, and reroll saves of 1?  Anything else I'm missing?

....and?  I didn’t know second edition required a wizard in your army..

 

@GreenFly how do you get 3 extra command points?

Well for starters, to manipulate the wheel and dispell endless spells.

Plague cyst could be fun. Horty tends the garden to brings the demons on ASAP and tanks hits. Gutrot and ten kings (dirty mike and the boys) ambush. LoP and a harbinger bring twenty!! kings to the party..letting them roll two dice for proximity mortal wounds in hero phase, and re roll all hits is nice. Harbinger makes them tough as nails and debuffs hit rolls with wittherstaff. Warriors either stay at home base or screen. 

LoP gets an artifact. Couple options and I can’t decide. The Subderblade could be good to stack another proximity d3 mortal wounds.

Gyhrestrike makes him a beast in combat. 5+ d6 hits for d3 damage...

Hypersnsre seeds seem really fun. 

Rustfang is never a bad choice..especially with blightkings.

Ghyrstrike on lord of plagues is juicy

+2 hit +2 wound, d6 wounds on 5+ ?

 

Commands : loblights and loplagues, command to reroll kings moved with gutrot

I was considering kazyk but with kings bravery is not a big problem

No harbinger?

Anyone know if you can only take the endless spell from the realm your army is set in or are there no limitations to what you can take?

PBKs seem worse than ever with the -1 to hit debuffs from Death and Deepkin disabling they're special ability.  

Have people figured out a fix for this or is it just a difference in meta?

 

I asked GW facebook if it is getting changed to unmodified 6 and they said to pound sand,

[AoS 2 - Maggotkin of Nurgle Discussion]

I tried the new toads and they are hot garbage.
