Grots camp in my half on objectives.
A mek in each naut.
Painboy joins gazzy for majority toughness 5.
Formation rules plus gazzy means ere we go and waaaagh for all walkers.

I figure 14 walkers that can run and Assault is a scary proposition.

Thoughts?

Above all else it looks great fun to play. I'd imagine it to be fairly successful too

Thanks.

Was considering using a standard Warboss instead of gazzy to save points for other options.

Not sure it's worth doing so or just going for the big guy.

Taking a standard warboss allows for more Walkers!!

true, but if i swap gazzy for a normal mega armoured warboss i only save 125 points.

can't even get 3 extra kans for that.

Can get an extra deff dread plus a few points left over? or maybe 5 warbuggys?

not much else though.

Why does the Warboss need Mega armour when he can just have a megaphone and sit safely in a Morkanaught

It also allows you to drop the Big Mek down to a Mek saving another 35 points.

True, though gazzy or a mega armoured warboss would give me another smash face unit. Gazzy in particular.

Yes, but a normal mek cannot take "Da Fixer Upperz" IIRC, meaning he's a bit pants.

if i took a naked warboss with megaphone, i only get 3 more Kans. does the formation allow more than 3 units of Kans? if not, they would be in the standard CAD and not get the "ere we go" rule? would need confirmation on that.

Would Gazzy or megaboss and 5 buggys not both be better options?

Your Kan units are tiny so you could just up their size.

Can the Kan units be more than 3 models? i know they can in standard dex but does the formation have any restrictions on this? Formations tend to be set in stone. if so i'm only adding 1 kan to each unit.

But Ghazzy is a beat stick and something good to throw at Dreadknights.

agreed, especially with eternal warrior.

no love for the mega boss and 5 buggys then?

Kan units can be up to 6 models. Meganboss, but get the boss a Lucky stikk, and Warbuggies is also a good option.

So my options are:

1) an Extra Kan in each unit (so 3 units of 4), and a Warboss with nothing.
2) MegaBoss and 5 x warbuggys
3) Megaboss with Da Lucky Stikk and 4 x warbuggys
4) Ghazghkull Thraka

hmmmmmm. tough one to call. thoughts dakka?

IMO option 3. I used megaboss with lukky stikk the other day and it was pretty awesome

Must admit i'm thinking either that or Gazzy.

As flingitnow said, anyone brings a dreadknight a non-eternal warrior warboss will get smashed.

Save the 125 pts and get some lobba's.

not sure the list needs str 5 blast weapons when i have 12 str 6 from grotzookas and 2 str 8 from morkanauts.

the kanz in the formation can only be 3 strong btw. I've been looking for dread mob lists ideas, i like this. thanks

i had a sneeky feeling it might due to being a formation.

so, simpler choice now:

1) Gazzy

or

2) Megaboss and 4-5 buggys.

Forgive me, but how are the walkers getting "ere we go" special rule?

I think its a new rule in the Waagh Ghazzy supplement codex.

This.

In addition to all walkers gaining the "ere we go" special rule, all walkers also get d3 hammer of wrath hits when they charge.

Quite nasty IMHO.

Wait why can the units only be of three kanz?

It just says three units of kanz, nothing in the restrictions.

Hmm i cant see, to find it in the ghazzy book... I see the formation but it doesn't say anything about all walkers or models getting ere we go.

I think its an awesome list, dont get me wrong. And I hope im just missing the "ere we go" for all models part.

its right there, on the same page, under special rules.

also on the same page, is the restrictions, in the same box as the formation itself. all kan units must be three models.

yeah its says :
Ere we go!: IF every model in the unit has this special rule, the unit can re-roll a single dice when determining its charge range.

Kans, naughts, nor dreads have the special rule, 'ere we go'. So i still don't see how the formation gives them the running + assaulting in same phase.

Frankly that special rule for the formation seems a bit out of place...

The special rules listed in a Formation apply to all the models unless stated otherwise.

Yeah im with you guys now. Thanks for clarification, my bad.

I like the list and idea of all this coming at you. Hope the OP follows up with some battle reports.

Ok, so to clarify please:

1. Kans must units of 3?
2. Formation gets "ere we go" and "d3 hammer of wrath"?
3. Gazzy or megaboss and Buggys?

that's correct. idk about ghazzy, he opens up the opponent taking much better LoW lol.

Coolio.

still not 100% certain which way to go.

Buggys give me flexibility and a fast AT threat (not that the list needs it) but Gazzy is Gazzy.

Ghazzy all day over some buggies.
