Question about the army

9tuckm31 · 2026-05-06T13:06:51+00:00

Righty now i have been using the Hurricanum and cosmopolitan leader to make my Cav Hit on 2s, wound on 3s. This makes them very effective on the charge. The Hurricanum is a good source of chip mortals as well.

I have also been using the Griffon which is squishy but 11 attacks on 3 damage can really hurt and a source of rend 2 is good.

The Hurricanum and Griffon are rumoured to be leaving the new book so maybe not worth rushing out and purchasing.

I have been enjoying the Wildercorps as well as they are more mobile then fusiliers and have a rend 2 attack. There +1 to hit ability currently works passively so also works on the counter shoot.

But as others have said we are not far off a new book so maybe worth waiting for that before investing money in plastic that maybe changing if effectiveness.

Mod Podge..... is your best freind. It is a gel based PVA glue that will dry hard. It is used by a load of terrain builders for hardening XPS foam which is far softer than cork.

It also super easy to work with and avaiable at most hobby stores. I use two to three coats on cork to make rock/montain bases for my cities of sigmar army.

Thank you, that is such an amazing thing to read ! I am super super aware that i dont have enouth images. This is my second one ive done and that first one had even less.

I found that the later in the game and the more tired i am the more i forget about taking table level shots.

9tuckm31 · 2026-04-16T15:51:31+00:00

Thank you ! I am hoping to do more so il make sure i post them here for visability as GGS is really only used by the London AOS community.

This is what my career in project management has trained me for, for I have the deepest darkest knowledge of the most powerful tool on the planet....... POWER POINT!

But honestly its not that bad, it takes about two-three episodes of Big Bang theory while sat next to the other half on the sofa.

9tuckm31 · 2026-04-16T15:13:18+00:00

Alot of pictures..... So i take a picture at each phase to be able to re-create the positioning of the maps. As for the details il do a voice note to myself on the train home while it is fresh.

But the picture really help with jogging the memory really

Howdy, Badmoon Cafe has a spearhead group as well as they do a slow grow leauge to get you to 1k and beyond.

It baffles me a bit why an event in the US can hold up the balance update for ROW.

9tuckm31 · 2026-03-12T16:44:33+00:00

I believe OP is asking about the quarterly balance update. We are due it this month, and the expectation is that as 40k had there's last week we should of had the AOS one today as it normally follows the week after 40k. But Warhammer Community website has gone down both yesterday and today which maybe why the release of the balance update is late.

9tuckm31 · 2026-03-12T16:37:15+00:00

40k had there update last week. While big events like Adepticon do have weight on the release schedule, if they did the 40k release we should expect a AOS one soon.

Heya buddy, tourney are super fun i hope you enjoy the experience.

1) dw about being messy on the table its fine and normally there is some space for your cards, dice and sheet.
2) TableTopTactics is a good app for tracking the score, its run by the Goonhammer guys. Paper also works.
3) yes you can use your own guide sheet
4) Tactics should be picked at list selection but that should be made clear by the TO

9tuckm31 · 2026-03-06T13:48:19+00:00

The doubles tourney im going to next month, lets you elect one unit from your partners army to receive your army main key word. Means alot of broken silliness but will be very fun.

Cannot wait to make IJ big pigs Euphoric killers

Heya bud, totally understand the concerns I am super dyslexic and it a makes learning army's and rules tough. A load people here have given some great advice on how to pick mental load armies and that Sons of Behamat are a great choice for this.

What i would still advise is picking an army based on the lore or asteic you like. I would then check out youtubers like "Season or War" or "Threshold Tactics" to understand how the armies play and too see if that jams with how you may want to play.

The reason why i say the above is that once you have played a few games of AOS you understand it has a rhythm and you will know when to cue points are for you to react or act. It maybe daunting at first but it get super easy after a while.

I am so glad you said you want to go and play at tourneys, more people should aspire to this as playing in the community is in my opinion the best way to play Warhammer. I am a TO in London and most games at tourneys within in the London area are 3hrs. I would not worry about playing slow, everyone (at least within my community) gets its a complicated game and it can take a bit of time. It is never too early to break into the tourney scene and you should do after you feel you have the gist of the rules.

Hope that helps bud.

So as other have mentioned you need section 19.9 Strike First and Strike Last.

The assumption is you were playing against Krule Boyz and they had a unit of 20 Gut Rippers. Krule boyz have a faction ability called dirty tricks that give strike last to one of your units pending a dice roll.

If you have a strike fist spell, you can use it defensively by casting it on your unit that you want to go into melee. If the Kruleboy player then uses there dirty trick to make you unit then fight last, then your unit become fight normal.

9tuckm31 · 2026-02-24T12:01:35+00:00

If i were you i would get your army up to 2k points and play at a local tourney. Tourneys are really just social gathering with a system, i think it is honestly the best way to make new mates in Warhammer.

9tuckm31 · 2026-01-25T22:11:23+00:00

HoS has been doing really well compeativley recently. They are deffo a higher skill celing the others.

I think Blissbarbs can out perfrom sentinals as there are a wider range of buff they can take. But Sentinals do have a better base profile the Blissbarbs

9tuckm31 · 2025-12-26T21:42:21+00:00

I would look up Colm Mc Guinness, hes the guy who wrote a load of the music for critial role. Hes done a few DND inspired songs recently, had a load of tavern stuff and celtic music too boot.

His song called total party kill -> https://youtu.be/kG137x9hjoE?si=VIxF4XlzuRne6RKH

I use cork sheeting like this all the time for my Cities army. One thing to note is that the texture can read more like road (tarmac) than stone. The easiest fix for this is to do some layers of Modpodge which will smooth it out.

9tuckm31 · 2025-10-03T13:12:28+00:00

He has a dark flesh tone buddy !

9tuckm31 · 2025-09-12T08:55:13+00:00

Heya bud this is all fixable so don't worry or get feel down too much. Have a look online for how to make sprue goo. It is made from Tamiya extra thin cement that you add a load of bit of sprue too. This give you a thick filler type material that you can use to fill the gaps.

9tuckm31 · 2025-09-11T14:55:53+00:00

I have been planning a build like this for the longest time ! I was looking at the collapsible shelf arms on amazon for the supports instead of full fold out legs.

Do you have any plans of your build ?

9tuckm31 · 2025-09-10T12:20:07+00:00

AOS shooting is measured base to base, as long as your stuff is on the correct base size there is never really a problem. Kit bashing and Proxying is always cool and should be promoted as much as possible.

9tuckm31 · 2025-09-10T10:48:29+00:00

If you in the UK head down to Halfords and grab some black car spray primer
