The more I read the new Warriors book the more I think it is going to be absolutely top tier.
Particularly for the next few months before some hard cap restrictions come into play I think it is going to be face-tearingly brutal. I suspect if any of the top ranked players take the new book to Equinox and/or Runefang we will be hearing lots of groans post-events.
Yes, it will require some new model purchases but it is a seriously strong book - far better than ogres, and less susceptible to Skaven/Lizards than it was.
Get in early....it's going to be a juggernaut.
I think it's going to be horrendous early - I'm planning my list to play WOC at Equinox. I expect to see them often. Ross, Glenn, Paul Clarke I know are all taking them. Be ready!
ReplyDeleteMy list won't be very filthy for Equinox, don't have time to buy all the new toys!
ReplyDeleteI'm starting off with something nice and balanced, Nurgle DP, Metal Wizard, BSB, Nurgle Warriors, Chaff, Chariots, Dragon Ogres, Hellcannon and Skullcrushers.
Can't see it being mega smashy brutal but will let me get a feel of the new book anyways!
If Ogres have 2 Ironblasters I won't be looking forward to it at all (Nothing to do with Ogres, just the stupid cannon rules in general) but at Equinox with just the one, the Daemon Prince should be able to get in and smash some Mournfang, as they only hit him on 6's! Tasty.
Less 13th-able points helps alot vs Skaven and Chariots are ace against Lizardmen chaff. Still alot of things that scare my army (Vampire Counts for one) but very much looking forward to my first event this year.
Cheers,
Ross
Daemon Prince will kill any Vamp Lord
DeleteYeah no rerolls for Mr Vamp - DP goes first Vamp hits on 5's...If Nurgle Bad times for the vamp
DeleteWill he though? Vampire wounds on 2's, DP only gets a 5+ armour, 5+ Ward that he has to reroll and then more attacks from Red Fury.
DeleteThen the DP gets 5 attacks hitting on 2's wounding on 3's, Vamp gets 5+ and a 4+ Ward?
Someone want to mathhammer that? Of course, Warriors have better combat buffs in general from Magic which helps.
Cheers,
Ross
They both do about a wound to each other give or take
DeleteThe problem is while the Vamp Lord is stuck in combat for about 5 turns, the rest of the Warriors army demolishes the general crap that makes up the rest of a VC army
I am going to be forced to take double slann aren't I? Or a solo on metal. I don't like Metal it hurts my tiny brain too much.
ReplyDeleteI think WoC might be well pointed and hard to get essential stuff, core, something decent to break steadfast and toys in.
how does 6 dicing Transmutation and whatevers left on Searing doom hurt your brain? I'm confused...
DeleteYour going to have to take Death/Metal who needs to break steadfast with an unbreakable DP? Pin and wreck with the second wave..
ReplyDeleteI do not have my hands on the book yet, however I am very happy that people are taking Nurgle warriors and commenting that the Lore of Nurgle is sexy.
ReplyDeleteI have a painted mono Nurgle WOC army that is ready for it's day in the sun :)
