<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "advice on waac army"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net advice on waac army
I've been out the warhammer loop for roughly 8 years. A group of mates have just started playing 40I but have now decided to restart playing fantasy.

However we are all waac players (sucks I know but were all uber competitive)

we all pickled straws to decide on what any to play. My mate won and has gone for ogre Kingdoms so I'm expecting allot of cheese.

I've got second pic of the armies and I can't decided between the stronger armies.

Skaven is a possibility but the idea of painting and moving all the troops puts me off.

I am a huge fan off magic so rules out dwarfs

So that leaves me with vc DE or daemons (unless there are alternatives)

Our first game it's in a fee weeks and will only be 1000pts. But we will eventually go to 2k (it's that still the average game size?)

Money is no real issue so what is my best option for a waac army to go against ogre's (cheese is allowed)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465246/4574194.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465246/4574194.page GMT advice on waac army http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465246/4574202.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465246/4574202.page GMT advice on waac army http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465246/4574254.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465246/4574254.page GMT Re:advice on waac army

If not, de is still good.

For combat units you want Bloodletters.


Daemon units should, whenever possable, be led by a herald of the appropriate god as he buffs the unit. Bloodletters get Hatred and Daemonettes get ASF. Not sure what the other units get.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465246/4574396.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465246/4574396.page GMT advice on waac army
Heroes (115pts)

Herald of Tzeentch (115pts)

Core (756pts)

Bloodletters of Khorne (378pts)full command

Pink Horrors of Tzeentch (378pts) full command

This, 100x. Started with WoC and while the start was exciting as I used to always win games, most by a lot, it quickly got boring...now playing WE and while the army is a LOT weaker than WoC (seriously, a LOOOOOOOOOOT) and victories occur less often, those victories taste a lot sweeter.

Not to mention that I can now rub feces in the faces of those guys who always claimed only losing because of my army. Feels damn good.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465246/4575332.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465246/4575332.page GMT advice on waac army

I hear you.

I don't think WE's are as bad as people claim, they just require a different mindset.

Also let's go back a year, and see what people were saying about Ogres - which were not a bad army by any means, they just suffered from pointless limitations.

and there all valid points, however i felt my postion was slightly different to the normal which army should i start, which is best etc. Are gaming group is 4 close mates that used to game together back when we were in secondary school. We have all grown up now (school was 13 years ago lol) and all have various everyday life responcabilities. Out of the blue we have decided to start playing again with the new 6th edition release of 40k. That is our main interest (sorry to say) and we all enjoy playing it. We then decided at the start of the week to restart playing warhammer again but due to time and money constraints (of the other 3) we felt it was best if we created our army lists around WAAC lists (or net lists / cooki cutter etc) as a) potentially save us money in the short term b) not wasting money buying potentially jank units c) fantasy fluff doesnt apeal to us we just enjoy the game system.

But since none of us have played warhammer fantasy for years we wanted to do new armies that we havnt played back in the day (Ogres wasnt even about back then). My mate decided to go Orges for that reason and set about preparing his list, then it was my time to choose. I did plenty of reaserch but there isnt a vast amount out there that suited my criteria. Alot of the tactic threads (not just on this forum) we alot of guys asking random questions or posting there opinions on units etc. which is great if you know what there on about, alot of it just went over my head.

So i felt it was neccasry to create this thread as i effectivly wanted a conversation with someone regarding my situation, i didnt want it to become just another random what army should i go thread.

i understand alot of people dont like WAAC or net list, i hate them in 40k (which is why we dont play them) but for playing just in our group it would be nice, and gives up the optunity to play against some of the power lists that are currently floating about incase we ever did want to enter tournements.

I'm confused at the idea of a WAAC ogre army at 1000.


It due to our eventual aim of being at 2k-2.5k points where in the WAAC will become apparent. I know the Orge player is using 2 mournfangs in his 1k points list,

You can get two units of 4, barebones, which in principal could do the job if you get the charge (but are essentially chariots) - or maybe 2 units of 3 with +2 save.

But you are right, other than that you'd get a character and 6-8 bulls.

I'm not saying it is rubbish, and on the charge against T3 infantry it could be unstoppable, but it is hardly WAAC.

Try some fiends. They are cheap, so fit well in a 1k battle, but can still fight small units and warmachines, etc. Great redirectors too. 2 units of 1 would likely earn its points back.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465246/4602571.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465246/4602571.page GMT advice on waac army http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465246/4629967.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465246/4629967.page GMT advice on waac army WAAC?
