Hi people !

So I am starting AoS 2nd ed with Ironjaws and there is a lpt of things I don't know yet (Realms, Endless spells and etc.).

This is the list I intend to build to begin with. What are your views on the subject ?

A couple of things i would change.

I would make the ardboys into 1 unit of 10 instead of 2 units of 5

I would remove the savage orruks

i would give the MegaBoss Brutish Cunning as a command trait and Metalrippa's Klaw as his artefact

The remaining 160 points i would use on 5 ardboys and perhaps an endless spell

Thanks for the tip !

With the 40pts leftover you could buy a balewind vortex for more magical output or a prismatic palisade for character protection.

alternatively you could just not spend the points and almost guarantee that you will get a triumph

Well mrteige pretty much covered everything, so I'd just say listen to his advice as he clearly knows what he is talking about.
