On Friday I played four Battle March games and as mentioned, I will do some write ups. My first game was against Bretonnians

After pillaging and razing small villages and settlements on the outskirts of Bretonnia, Big Boss Snagrog was quickly becoming used to the Orc life again after his stint as a Mercenary. However, his ladz had started getting hungry and to no avail there were no nearby villages!

The Orcs found themselves scrounging a graveyard, not only to make camp but also to dig up and feast on what few meat there was.

But then, over the horizon, a host of humies appeared. A big shiny tin canned humie on a horse, with five others, an old magic looking humie and a bunch of spear weilding humies.

An ambush! Snagrog was pleased, it meant the fight had come to them and potentially something to fill their stomachs! The Battle of Grim Vale had begun!

I'd love for chaos to have some weird schizo-tech units. Thought of using a war wolf for a greater chaos spawn. The chainsaw head fits well for Warhammer I think.
>>

how essential are marauders this edition? Could hounds work as screens?
>>
>>97636680
With a bellow, Snagrog ordered the army to advance. The Bretonnian humies were still forming up, so the Orcs had the initiative!

Gorfang, the lunatic boar boy and his savage bunch, careened straight towards the Knights, their boars screeching as they thundered. But the Paladin and Knights noted the loud greenskins and counter charged. It was over in but a moment.

Screams of men, orc and beast pierced the air as both cavalry struck, gore and broken spears scattering all over. In a bried moment, only the Paladin and one Orc remained.

Snagrog and his big uns advanced behind, whooping at the carnage.

Grimtoof, a dizgruntled Black Orc, lead a boyz mob around the flanks. The aging wizard blasted his boyz with bolts of doom and fireballs, only one or two boyz succuming. The men at arms deployed to face the oncoming horde.

Soon the Paladin ran down the remaining Boar....leaving him terribly exposed. Snagrog bellowed and with his frenzied big uns, careened into the Paladin! Both faced the other in a terrible challenge, as the Paladin's weapon tore through Snagrog's Meteoric Iron, felling the Greenskin but not before the terrifying axe split the Paladin in two along with his steed.
>>
>>97636735
>how essential are marauders this edition?
Literally better than chaos warriors.
>Could hounds work as screens?
That is their only purpose in life.
>>
>>97636747
>Literally better than chaos warriors.
not saying much there though. Personally I'd still just run knights or forsaken.
>>
>>97636753

Is 15 forsaken per unit enough, or should they be in blocks of 20? More importantly, what models to use for them?
>>
>>97636680
Despite this, the Big Uns were thrown into a greater frenzy, and overran into the men at arms. The Big uns tore a huge chunk out if the humies and grinded them down. They fell back, causing only two Orcs to nearly 6 of their own.

The wizard, having desperately bombarded the Orcs since the start.m, his ruby ring either failing or hardly scratching the Orcs as with his doom bolt, began to panic. Grimtoof, the beleagered Black Orc, urged the boyz on, promising he'd leave a good bit of the humie to much on to whoever killed the magic humie.

The Big uns finally broke the men at arms, their frenzied choppas simply too much and the humies were cut down to a man.

Despite the wizards best attempts to evade and another pair of spells hardky scratching the Orcs, Grimtoof and his boyz charged and gutted the old wizard, who died screaming.

The Orcs had won. Snagrog was recovered, bloodied and battered but still alive. With the Bretonnians gone, a camp could be set up and fresh meat to feed the Waaagh!

Unknown to them however, reports of an Orc incursion had reached many ears...as they were soon to find out
>>
>>97636747
>better than warriors
can they hold the line as well as sword and board warriors? I plan on them being the anvil for my knights, monsters, and the like to hammer.

>>97636753
>rather run forsaken
do they do a good job of keeping enemies tied down? and how do you usually make them? I thought about maybe getting a box of warriors and giving them some daemon or beast bits and some greenstuff gibblies for good measure
>>
>>97636768
>what models to use for them?
leftover bits and stick them on bodies. Back when I still owned my warriors I used a mish mash of tzaangors and some third party stuff.
>>97636768
>Is 15 forsaken per unit enough
I had success with like 3 squads of 8-9 but my games were always weird.
>>
>>97636735
Marauders are better than WoC as the other guy said. Marauder horsemen work better as screens than dogs but dogs also fulfill the function. Dogs are much cheaper but the output on the marauders makes them a better deal overall if you want them to potentially do anything other than die.
>>
>>97636781
Nta but the problem with warriors is two fold: Damage output and points. They are expensive, so even a unit of 10 with shields is 140. With 1 attack and likely only one extra rank, it only takes two losses to nullify any combat bonuses. further more, while individually powerful, their low attacks means you can't even compensate their low numbers with obscene damage so you likely lose combat anyway.

essentially: Too weak to be a hammer unit, too low in numbers to be an anvil.

For 4 less points (136), you can get 17 sword and board Marauders with full command. Far better basic attrition, bolstered ranks and with shield wall, a decent anvil.

There's room for a chaos subfaction that explores that, in my opinion

Sorcerers in dark towers conducting forbidden alchemical experiments to create tools of war and tainted servants
Regiments of turncoat cultists instead of hordes of barbarians from the north
Not as industrialised and refined as the dawi zharr nor as haphazard and erratic as the skaven

In the mountains of the badlands near the sour sea perhaps?

This. Now that I am older, I know the Warboss is in the foreground but I used to think he was on the same level as the other Orcs on the lower right and he was just that big.

For example
>>
The second Battle March match consisted of another fight against Bretonnia. This time with archerszm, peasant militia and another paladin and his knights.

Just as Snagrog and his warband had made camp after a host of squabbling, scuffling and eating, a familiar sound was heard. A second Bretonnian army emerged over the horizon. Having heard word of a horde of Greenskins, another Paladin had answered the call.

Saying a prayer to the lady, the paladin had just finished when his knights were assailed by the pig mounted orcs. Gorfang bellowed as the two units collided into each other with a sickening crunch.

Meanwhile the orc archers let loose a volley, catching a peasant in the throat as he fell choking on his blood.

Grimtoof, the beligered Black Orc, lead his boyz mob up mid field, the orc arrers following close by.
>>
>>97636936
After the dust had settled, only Gorfang was left of his lunatic boar boyz and fell back with the Paladin in hot oursuit with one other knight.

Grimtoof and the arrer boyz charged the men at arms, bellowing their war cries. By the Lady, they held. In desperation, the peasant archers charged in.

The paladin cut down the boar boss, only to see his peasants under heavy pressure. He looked to see the big boss who was still gaining ground. Realising this was the key moment, the Paladin and his last knight charged into the flank of the orc boyz.

It was a slaughter, humans and orcs dying horribly, the last knight and peasants falling. However, this was enough. Grimtoof wailed to flee, the boyz breaking with the arrer boyz falling back.

They were cut down by the paladin with the militia reforming.

Snagrog roared in frustration and while out of charge range, formed his big uns up to face the charge. The Militia formed up into a shield wall, to lure the orcs into a charge. Snagrog bellowed and his big ujs charged. Once more the peasants held but this time, suffered horrific losses, the orcs shredding them limb from limb and Snagrog eviscerating the unit champion. But their priest called for them to have faith and stubbornly gave ground with a shield wall.

The Paladin, hoping to recreate the same success as before, spurred his steed, lance lowered, and charged into the flank of Snagrog's big uns.
>>
>>97637037
This time however, the Paladin's charge was not enough, for these orcs were the strongest of their kind. Two fell, but the sheer chaos Snagrog caused to the priest and the remaining peasants forced the Paladin to fall back and the militia to break. They were cut down to the last.

Now, only Snagrog and his big uns remained to face the Paladin and peasant archers. Snagrog and his frenzied big uns marched forward. He was going to get his grub if its the last thing he did.
>>
>>97637066
It was now or never. Among the corpse strewn battlefield, only the Orc Big Boss and his retinue remained. The Paladin wanted to run, but his valour and courage prevailed. If he could cut down the Orc leader, there was a chance!

Shouting a warcry to the lady, the Paladin once more lowered his lance. Snagrog bellowed, emerging from his boyz to meet the challenge.

With a deafening screech of metal, the lance tore through the Meteoric Iron. The Paladin pushed with all his might as did his steed and for a moment, victory seemed to have been gained.

But no, Snagrog glared back up with a toothy grin. Wounded but not slain, he struck out with his great axe in a wide arch, slamming straight into the Paladin's plate, dealing a near fatal wound.

Outnumbered, wounded and demoralised, the Paladin fled. The archers formed up and sent a volley but Snagrog was eager. The Paladin had fled far and though he could hslave tried to catch him to force him from the field, the orcs chose to unleash their battle lust on the peasants.

The day ended with an Krc victory, Snagrog and the big uns wiping out the archers and the Paladin rallying. He retired from the field, surely reporting on the great tale of valour done on this day by his knights and the awful beast he had faced. Of the peasants he paid no heed, for after all, they were just peasants.

Another orc victory.

Thought i would try a different kind of reporting, pardon the post count. Will post more after I sleep.

Thanks man. Yeah, my logic was more or less try to trade or blunt the knights before they tore into my infantry. Then use my superior numbers and Big Boss Snagrog to swamp the rest. Big of cunnin dat.

Some of it comes from dealing with plastic undercuts. To avoid them they have to split things in weird directions but it lets them do more detailed model kits, but then you have to do more to assemble them.

Talk about your current project and what edition you have been playing recently!

I am still waiting to get everything I want for my tzeentch aligned chaos warband, gonna assemble and paint them when I visit with my fiance next month. unfortunately most things I have primed ive already painted, and the weather is too cold right now for me to prime, so again Im gonna wait till march to start priming my lads after ive built them. Plan on using these old screamers as either counts-as daemonic mounts or perhaps house ruling them and borrowing them from the daemons list, if my opponent is cool with it of course. I generally like these sculpts in general and just wanted them in my collection.

planning a campaign of tow late this year, hopefully I will get everything I need assembled and painted in time.

They got rid of designers who were interested in real world historic designs.

That's what made Warhammer Warhammer. It was literally a bunch of historic War hammers slamming their 16th century HRE minis and D&D monsters together. Brets were based off of stylized 13th century.

Whoever designed that abortion has never actually looked at armor, or human anatomy.

Yeah I wasn’t expecting it to sell out so fast. I checked today in the afternoon and it was gone already. Anyone know how quickly it sold out?

Also check FLGS websites in your country. Maybe there’s still some and you might even find a discounted one
>>
Tons of mentions of the creation of the great maw and ogre migrations in the new book. Also multiple mentions of unnamed corsairs raising Cathay east coast.
>>
>>97638793
Damn you weren't kidding. I don't think the discount on it is that great though.
The contents are probably:
1 Astromancer kit
1,5 peasant kits(I'll be amazed if they come as 30 even though they're horde models that said 30 peasants is the same sprue count as 20 warriors)
1 or 2 Ironhail/Crane kits
Looking at current kits:
Gatemaster: €42
Jade Warriors €105(for 30)
For the gunners like say €70 like a single warriors kit since it's 20 models, however it's 4 sprues while 20 warriors are 6 so who knows
Total: €217 before discounts, €173,60 at your LGS. The box at my LGS is €136,00
Yeah sure you save a few bucks but nothing major unless GW blindside us with particularly nasty pricing on these.

I just realized Ironhails have no command and this bothers me, add the complete lack of spare bits and I feel they really cut some corners here.
I suppose they're authentic to TWW at least

My third battle of the day was against High Elves.

Snagrog returned to the Badlands to recoup and had begun pushing north, this time against the Empire. Unbenowst to him, a high elf patrol was scouring the nearby villages, having come from Ulthuan after a request from a wealthy statesman.

The Orcs were surprised but formed up, the high elves having a unit of spearmen, a noble, a great flying chariot thing, and some light cavalry.

Gorfang abd his crazy boars attempted to screen against the chariot but were quickly flank charged by the cavalry and struck in the front by the chariot. They were rapidly cut down then fled! The Elves restraint however.

Snagrog roared, charging at the chariot, destroying it in a frenzied flurry. However, this exposed the Orcs to a counter charge. The Noble and his spearmen alongside the cavalry, charged Snagrog and his big uns. Snagrog spotted the shiny elf with the big sword and rightly judged he was the boss. Calling a challenge, both shoved through their own ranks to face each other.

>>97638976
All true, I'm just baffled by how limited the kit is compared to other kits Cathay got.
>>
>>97639013
Snagrog and the Noble fought with a ferocity rarely seen and both sides watched as both utilised their warcraft to the best of their ability. Though the Noble was quick and with blinding speed, struck out with his Hoeth blade, Snagrog's thick hide and meteoric iron held. Though cumbersome, a wide arced swing saw the Noble take a serious dent, cracked ribs.

But unlike their leaders, the Elves and Orcs fought hard. The spears could not get through their hide but the big uns struck back, killing many elves. They pushed the Elves back as they reformed but the cavalry broke and fled!

On the other side of the field, Grimtoof the beleaguered Black Orc, charged the light cavalry, forcing them from the field. But in their enthusiasm, the Grimtoof's boyz ran off the field after them!

The Elven spearmen now formed up and made a deadly triple row of spears. But the Big uns being frenzied, tore into the ranks and caused a terrible toll. The spearmen fought back but cut down only a pair of big uns.

The Noble once more used foul magic and his blade, striking down Snagrog despite his Meteoric Iron. Yet, despite this, such was the savagery of the Big uns, the Elves were forced to give ground to the very edge of the field!

Grotfang, the crazy boar had rallied with his lone fellow boar boy and charged into the flank of the spearmen. Despite the best efforts of the Noble, the combined charge of the boars and ferocity of the Big uns forced the Elves from the field!

Another Orc victory!

>>97639020
And that wasn't a very high bar either with the command squads all being monobuild and all.

The fourth and final game of the day, was a 750 point match of Battle March against Ogres!

Snagrog had now found himself back in the Badlands but unbeknowst to him, a host of Ogres were traversing the same path! This time however, Snagrog had obtained "help" from the Night Goblin Skraggit, who brought both a Mangler and squig hoppers!

The Ogres had brought Ironguts, gnoblars, dogs, leadbelchers and Mournfang cavalry!

The arrer boyz insisted to deploy up front, blocking the Orc advance! Snagrog noted he would batter the arrer boy git for his overt enthusiasm.

Grotfang, now leading armoured boars, had grown tired using their new armour and failed to charge the mournfang cavalry!

The Mangler pushed up to try to reach the leadbelchers, but failed to reach.

Grimtoof, the ever unhappy Black Orc, had far greater success, charging the dogs on the right flank, pushing them back!
>>
>>97637358
he will turn 12 this year, let him be happy during his twilight years
>>
>>97639054
"BRACE YA GITS! BIG TUSK THINGS IS CHARGING! roared Snagrog.

The Mournfang tore apart the arrer boyz, having them flee and they careened wholly into the big un unit lead by Snagrog with a crunch!

Gorfang and the boar boyz were shot to bits and fled due to the leadbelchers!

Snagrog called out a challenge, but not till the Mournfang had cut down a few big uns and the ogres had killed a few more. Despite the terrible blows from the gigantic mournfang and Ogre champion's great weapon, the new Dead Ard armour Snagrog wore protected him. In response, he tore into the Mournfang, causing two terrible wounds. Miraculously, the Big uns won and the ogres gave ground.

The Hoppers flank charged and once more the Mournfang and Ogre champion could not harm Snagrog, and with a mighty WAAAGH, he split the Mournfang open, collapsing and crushing the ogre mounted. The Mournfang, despite murdering the squig hoppers, broke and fled, the big uns running them down and reforming.

Grimtoof the black orc, forced the sabre tusks from the field then charged the gnoblars, tearing them apart.

The Ironguts devoured the Mangler squig, leaving the leadbelchers facing the big uns. Snagrig continued his success, killing a lead belcher and breaking them, but could not catch them!

The Bruiser and Ironguts charged the big uns, causing minor damage, but they held. Snagrog challenged only for the irongut champion to face him.

Grimtoof murdered the Gnoblars and flank charged the ironguts unit! Snagrog finally ran out of steam, his new armour battered and bloody. Although he caused terrible wounds on the Irongut, with two terrible strikes, his armour no longer held and he was cut down!

Despite this, the Ironguts lost but simply gave ground!

The battle ended with the Ironguts winning the next round, and finishing off the big uns and Grimtoof and his boyz falling back in good order.

An ogre victory but incredibly bloody and tight!

But it was not over. Not just yet

To finish the day and a good catchup, I asked the Ogre player if we could have our generals have a duel using the equipment we used in the battle as neither managed to meet. He was more than enthused.

The Bruiser had Heavy Armour and Ironfist.

Snagrog as a big boss had a great weapon and dead 'ard armour.

The Bruiser and Snagrog faced off on a hill.

Easily standing almost twice as tall as Snagrog, the Bruiser was a terrifying prospect. Even Snagrog had to acknowledge he was out sized. But cunning...that was another thing entirely.

The Bruiser had fought Orcs before and though he knew they were generally smaller, he knew to be cautious due to some sneaky tricks. This Orc in particular seemed to be wearing a particularly thick set of armour, but nothing he had not seen before.

Swinging his Ironfist in a great arc and with a speed whi h belied his terrible bulk, the Bruiser struck Snagrog. To his surprise, each strike which could have easily felled an oak tree, was not able to cause any serious damage to the Orc.

Snagrog struck back and despite his best efforts, could not land a blow. Both circled each other, exchanging strikes. Their skill with their weapons was equally matched.

But the Bruiser managed to feint and noticing a small gap in the armour, struck hard. Snagrog let out a bellow, blood frothing from the wound. Snagrog, enraged, struck back, his great axe tearing into the ogre's chest, ripping two huge chunks from the Bruiser.

Both backed away, heavily wounded. The Bruiser and Snsgrog knew the battle was coming to a close, the next exchange would be the decider. Despite a flurry of terrible blows, Snagrog lived.

Snagrog saw the Bruiser had overextended. Leaping forward in between his opponents guard, Snagrog lifted his Axe once more and struck. But not on the chest, but the gut. With a metallic screech, and a cry of agony, the Bruiser fell!

After 5 rounds of combat, Snagrog was victorious!

I need to say, I have been adoring my stint with Orcs so far. They definitely are less hero hammer and though the composition of my army is far less death starry as my Chaos, I genuinely am having fun. Win, loss, I just like how Orcs play. The army feels like an army.

They also feel more balanced as an army. As in, if one of my units goes, the others still have a function.

Using a mixed of sub optimal and more optimal choices, it feels nice and instead of hoping my khorne knights annihilate a unit in one go, it felt much cooler seeing my infantry blocks grind against other units.

Overall, Orcs and Gobbos 100% feel more fun and hope to continue expanding my army bit by bit. Also an odd not, while it felt gutting if my Chaos leader got killed, I was just happy for Snagrog to get stuck in and duff things up and if he fell, he could always come back for another go! Plus its funny having numerous named members of my army with quirky fluff.

Snagrog the ex mercenary turned boss. Grimtoof, the sole surviving Black orc of a tribe against Snagrog and now "blends in" unnoticed and Gorfang the crazed Orc Boar Boss.

Nice contrast to Killgore Deathblender, champion of a khorne warrior unit who got XXXX gifts and XXXX blessings, only to get shanked by a random peasant or killed by a stray arrow/gunshot.

WAAAAGH!!

>>97639136
That seems like an amazing meetup anon, and it sounds like you did the orks proud with only 1 loss all day.
With the moral high ground)a painted army) it’s no wonder you did so well.
I honestly feel the same way about my rats right now. It’s pretty enjoyable. Anyway anon super glad for you!

How are you going to expand on the orks next?

>>97639235
Thanks Skaven bro. I actually spent a two/three afternoons getting my army battle ready paint wise and had the help of a friend, god bless em. One night, we just painted the boyz skin green! I have fought Skaven once with 3 ratling guns, absolutely mental but they def seem fun too.

How to expand, I am going to add a Mangler squig and likely, if I push to 1500, Black Orcs. Grimtoof (Borgut Facebeater mini) will finally have his friends. I actually got the mini so no problem. Then I may add one or two warmachines and likely a trio of trolls.

also 8th edition had pic related as artwork, half-suggesting that revenants might have been conceived as a wood elf release at some point

I'd also consider using the treeman on big bug as a dragon with rider, but it's probably a much more controversial opinion

Had a 500p battle march game today to kick off a Path to Glory campaign. I was met with Warriors of Chaos, and both of us had fun casual lists. My opponent had some warriors, marauders on horses, a few warhounds, a single Dragon Ogre and a sorcerer.
We were both also still very rusty with the rules, so to learn and make things fair the game took a bit longer than usual, but it was fun. Unfortunately I lost, with my beastlord being taken out fairly early in the game from a duel where I whiffed all the dice rolls.
In the end only my shaman was still alive on the field when the game ended, but it wasn't a curb stomp and my loss felt fair.

Cathay got nerfed. The new stuff isn't particularly over powered unless a ws2 s3 unit with a 6+ save at most getting asf when charged is too much.

I mean how many attacks can you make with it?
>>
>>97641436
Base rank.
+1 rank because long spear.

So no more than a regular block of spearmen.
Their "power" comes from being 4 points unarmored and the ability to play to deploy from ambush, but they're kinda too shit to use in an offensive manner.

I wonder what they didn't put that one in stores at least with the old Maruaders and maruder horsemen, you could argue they were getting replaced and had just been sold in AoS, but the Ellyrian reavers are in theory a new kit, so their exclusion from stores makes little sense unless GW plans on replacing them soon

Archery was still relevant even to the 1600s, especially the further east you went. Raimondo Montecuccoli, a famous military commander who fought in the 30 years war and against the ottomans stated that the Turkish mounted archers were as effective as troops wielding firearms. A significant portion of the troops that Jan Sobieski commanded to relieve Vienna in 1683 were medium cavalry, who had bows. But I think the popularity of mounted archery even to the 1600s can be explained by how inaccurate harquebuses and the like were. For example, in the English civil war and the 30 years war the most elite cavalry forces would rather charge in and use their pistols at point-blank range than shoot from afar, which wasn't very effective at the time.

Ooh, anon, this is really cool, you can use models for stuff other than what GW says. I know if you go to the webstore it says this model represents this unit for this game, but if you want you can use it to represent a different unit in a different game. You can even take pieces from multiple models and combine them in new ways to make unique models! It's called kitbashing or customizing, and it's one of the neatest parts of the hobby.

You should give it a try, I bet you'd have fun being creative.

Y'know, technically you can even use models that aren't made by GW, but I think that might be a bit advanced for you right now. Baby steps, y'know?

I have a smaller board, 6x3 since thats what I have room for, and don’t bother with the smaller board size. I haven’t found it a problem as long as no one takes a lot of artillery.

Battlemarch: meeting engagement 750p
Chaos v Fizzclicks warband.

A chaos warband returns to a frontier hovel demanding tribute in gold and treasure- including no small amount of Warpstone- nearby skaven smell sniff the Warpstone and hastily assemble a force to take it and lay an ambush for the chaos warband first.

- in an opening volley- the warp lightning cannon lit up the night and arced through a footstools, multiple chosen cavarly and an ogre- somehow the energy was harmless for the first three souls it passed through- before violently exploding through chosen knight of chaos.
Other shooting was sadly of little consequence- the stabilisers in the rattling gun jammed meaning all the shots missed- and the jezzails skulked near the building- worst of all Fizzclicks doomrocket(ruby ring of ruin) failed to launch.
The chaos force wasted no time however- the wizard summoning flying shadow steeds to aid the warriors in landing on the very hill the warp lightning arced behind! - they Westwood facing the machine and were ready to deliver murder.

Yes, but they hid their identity because it wasn't accepted for women to be knights. Nu-bretonnia breaks the theme of a hierarchical medieval society with strict behavioural norms and makes it egalitarian instead.

Second round!

The giant rats were whipped into a frenzy and sped in front of the chosen knights l- while the jezzails and rattling gun finally found a target: (they both missed)
To add further insult Skrits doom rocket once again failed to fire-
The warp lightning cannon however had no suc problems, frying an ogre- but failing to wound 2 knights thanks to their chaos armour. Aa

It looked quite grim as the chaos knights and ogres combine charged the giant rats- but then a miracle- the chaos sorcerer suffered the most deadly of miscasts and blew up 2 chosen knights- blunting his own charge!
(They still absolutely murdered the giant rats- though skrit couldn’t help but note if he’d payed the warp tokens for a master Moulder instead of a mere apprentice - they would have stuck around)
Lastly the chaos foot troops charged and promptly hacked apart the warp lightning crew- silencing it for good.

Turn 3/4 skritt weapon is proved entirely defective - failing to launch.
The clanrats along with the chieftan Kratch launch themselves into the weakened ogres- Tracy himself bravely kill slays an ogre before tactfully retreating before the other pulped him- leaving an unfortunate clanrat in his place- the ogres break and flee! And th clanrats overrun into the chaos knights.

The jezzails shoot at the mounted sorcerer in 2 successive volleys- failing to pierce the chaos armour.

Lastly the stormvermin are increasingly interred by the chaos northmen behind the lines- and continue marching rapidly around to escape them- unwittingly executing a fantastic flanking maneuver.

T4- Kratch once again shows the vermin how it’s done- murdering a chosen knight before retreating once more- his unit wins and the remaining knight flees! But pretty and his rats can now threaten the chaos sorcerer or the wounded but rallied ogres.

T5
Skrits doomrocket jump started by the skitterleaped finally goes off torching the remaining ogre-
Kratch feigns a charge first against the chaos sorcerer who flees/ but redirects into the ogres.
And the stormvermin attempt their first and last charge of the game- and shuffle awkwardly - clearly another clan payed off these puny mouse things!

Lastly in the shooting phase jezzails aim at the small spec that is the chaos sorcerer and his mount and let loose, killing him.
The warband was broken here, and feebly attempted a countercharge - but it was too late- Skritt rubbed his paws together- Warpstone and many slave things- this would bring much power strength.

It was a pretty close game- my stormvermin Debut for the first had them shuffling about running away from chaos warriors all game- they didn’t even see combat!
Better luck for the next time.
I can see why you play on smaller mats with this format- it’s very tense and makes for cramped deployments.

Six years ago, I read the 6th edition Hordes of Chaos army book. The artwork on pages 16 and 17 made me start collecting a warband dedicated to Tzeentch. Now I'm collecting (almost done collecting, to be precise) an undivided warband. Perhaps it's time to devote myself to the Changer of the Ways once again. Then again, no, it's not time yet. Everyone in my area is stuck playing TOW and TOW has zero rules that would make bringing a themed army fun. It doesn't have rules that make Chaos in general fun.

You need to file off the weirdo knee-face but I think the champion and standard bearer for this unit will be good options if you want to run a female noble or BSB in dark elves (for whatever reason). The champion would fit well for a Khainite noble leading executioners. It's similar to how AOS Ardboyz can make really good black orc heroes, and are cheaper to buy to boot.

I had absolutely no problem with this, it was actually quite a nice lore point. Not 'loads' but the odd hidden female knight, trying to buck social trends. It had depth, it added flavour, it provided some basis for Repansse.

Having women being knights just as standard and in large numbers, doesn't vibe whatsoever with Bretonnian's background or social structures. Let alone make sense given the role of a knight on the battlefield - there is a reason there is practically no example in real wolrd history of women fighting as knights.

Some things like dark eldar are consistently sold out but we can't tell if they're actually that popular or GW stocks like 3 kits for ranges they don't expect to do much in between shitting out a million marines

Probably just doing smaller production runs.

another rules query for you, /wfg/, courtesy once again of the compfags in my local community
When issuing/accepting a challenge, the rules explicitly allow you not to move the dueling models in to b2b contact if doing so would be impractical. If you choose not to do this (for any given justification), and thereby make it so that the models are not in b2b contact while they are dueling, does each model only get to make one attack against the other?
>>
>>97647471
Idk this autistic rules lawyering/over analysis is embarrassing. Totally not in the Spirit of the Game. Stillman would be ashamed. Just do what makes the most sense/is coolest

>>97647471
No, you duel fighting with the full profile as normal.

>>97647396
>>97647483
Then why are you here samefag?

>>97647493
Thank you anon. I'll try to convince them. It just makes sense, a duel is supposed to be something special.

>>97647493
You are so pathetic. Seek Christ
>>
>the third arcane journal is just paper weight
Could you have sold this as a codex instead gw.
I’m pretty sure the three books combined costs more than those, and these are all kind of lacking. The core rules are already a chore to keep track of.
>>
>>97647493
Update: They have twisted/expanded the definition of "impractical" to include in-game concerns, such as not getting screwed over by moving your character/changing your unit in such a way that would make your odds of winning the duel/game lower, rather than real-world physical concerns like space or the models being placed in a way that looks off, and have also cited prior edition jurisprudence wherein the rules regarding challenges explicitly said that dueling models were in b2b. The rules in TOW explicitly do not mention this, so these animals (read: lovely people who have taught me a lot about the game) are saying that these 1 attack non-b2b duels are RAW and possibly even RAI.
>>
>>97646807
Optional battle damage
>>
>>97646645
Repanse still stays special because she was a peasant who became a Grail Knight, something not seen anywhere else.

And considering the Lady in the Lake is an Elf, and Elves aren't known for enforcing gender roles, she wouldn't care if the knight was a man or woman. She'll still let them lick her feet for a magical upgrade into Grail Knight.

>>
>>97647634
>Elves aren't known for enforcing gender roles
except for their government, the Phoenix King must always be male, and the Everqueen must always be female.
Wood elves are the same with arial and Orion
Elf religion overall seems rather gendered as well since the Dark Elves worship Khaine, but male priests of Khaine are rare and mostly occur due to male beeing to deformed to be trained as assassins
>>
>>97647657
But in every other role they don't give a fuck.

Also Arial sand Orion are specific people not titles.

That's the kind of behavior that if I didn't know before we racked up to play a game I'd feel scammed.

Playera like those made me quit 40k altogether.

It takes some Olympic level mental gymnastics to argue in favor of their argument, and even then it just feels like trying to find loopholes and break the game.

Players like those are a cancer to the community and it's best to exclude them at all times.

It's real "Wraithguard can't shoot because they don't have eyes to draw a line from" energy for sure.

Tow literally attracts the lowest common denominator, they think they’re “better” than others so they’ll do the bare minimum in everything. It’s why the models that do get posted here are…well you know.

Anon it's always been that way here. Some of these minis are probably from the last time they played and painted minia when they were 12.

Was there ever a point in time when a chaos lord could take multiple marks of chaos in WHFB? I've been exploring some of the older chaos books from 40k and in 2e chaos space marine lords were allowed to take as many marks as they wanted, e.g. a chaos lord could have the mark of nurgle and slaanesh, or any combination of the four marks, though notably the mark of chaos undivided doesn't seem to be a thing in 2e 40k, presumably to represent a particularly skilled warlord having received the favour of more than one chaos god. Is that just a 40k thing? I know that, in Fantasy, receiving a mark of chaos is a much more impactful and life (or death) defining event, with chaos champions swearing their undying loyalty to either one god, all the gods, or no god at all... but it's got me thinking! We know Archaon, at least in 6th edition, counted as having every mark. Wouldn't it be fun to be able to give /yourchaoslord/ multiple marks?

This question is incredibly retarded I’m surprised you felt the need to managed to press post.
>40k used to-
Fuck off and go back.

No, you fuck off and go back. It's a topic of conversation.

I really like trolls, how much would I be shooting myself in the foot if I fielded 6 chaos trolls? Would that just be too much troll? I generally like monsters accompanying my evil armored henchmen, with nasty dumb critters led by a charismatic dark sorcerer.
