Created with BattleScribe

The plan is pretty straightforward. The army is organized into two "fists," each consisting of two boyz mobs surrounding one Warboss, one Painboy, one KFF Big Mek, one Banner, and a Weirdboy or two. Each fist advances up the table as quickly as possible, hopefully weathering enough damage with their 5++/6+++ to be mostly intact on arrival, at which point they will proceed to drown whatever they touch in a mass of 2+ to-hit attacks, assisted by the PKs to help take down tougher targets.
The two Gretchin units are just cheap objective holders, and the Dakkajets fly around chewing up whatever is the biggest threat to the horde.
Weirdboys are there to buff the boyz with Warpath, provide a little mobility with Da Jump, or spam Smites if they have nothing better to do. Because of the number of Boyz surrounding each one, their Smites will almost always pass and grant d6 mortal wounds, but will also frequently result in a Perils, but the Painboys should be able to heal the majority of wounds suffered this way.

What do you think?

I don't see the usefulness of gretichin, without the runtherd they won't survive a single round of shooting, with the runtherd they become too expensive. Take single mek gunz as objective holders, they are more resilient and they have better shooting.

The KFF for footslogging mobs don't seem extremely reliable, units must be completely under the bubble and large squads struggle to do that. I think a painboy can serve a better role, mad dok grotsnik is even better 'cause he only costs 9 point more than a standard dok.

Hey,

I like the list

I assume the Gretchin are not designed to be in the field, but sitting back on home objectives?

Honestly, Would not like to fight the list.

Considering most armies I fight are mech, so my set up for my Space Wolves has a lot of D3/D6 wound weapons which are wasted on you. *Shakes fist*

Although, Missile Launchers are useful as a middle ground in this edition. D6 shots or 1 S8 shot. Atleast that I've found.

How did you make this list with battlescribe?. If there's a way to list build for 8th already I want in on that

Hi,

Nice list I may have to try that out myself

You know when you made the list in battlescribe, did the gretchin cost 60 points instead of 30 points as is what is happening in my battlescribe?
