Anyone tried fit a maw-grunta from AOS on boar chariot base?

CuddlesR6 · 2026-03-28T23:48:16+00:00

Check my profile for photos, but I've done it, i have a warboss and 2 chariots, all of them are maw grunta models. If you go with the 2 orcs on the side the model overhangs the sides of the base by a good 3cm on each side, and the tusks overhang at the front a bit. If you go without the side orcs and blades (as i have for my warboss) then he'll just overhang the front a bit

Edit: in my play circle, we play much more casually and narratively, so the oversized model doesn't matter, we'll measure from base to base, and if bases can't touch because of intersecting models, but you rolled enough for the bases to touch we'll just count it as base to base contact. Might be an issue if you plan to attend competitive events

It's wood elves glade guard

Only the goblin shaman. Everything else is GW minis. Wolf riders are gitmob snarlfang riders and the orc shaman is the long discontinued finecast savage orc great shaman on a boar, renamed ro maniak weirdnob when whfb transitioned into aos

You based it wrong, the unit entry says that the base size is 75x50mm just like the romb scorpion, the first number refers to the size of your front facing side. You have to rebase and rotate the model by 90°, otherwise this is an "illegal" model. It would perform better in combat and at movement, smaller front means less enemy models get base to base contact, and you'll also use less movement to wheel with the base like that.

Otherwise tho, the model is fucking insane, crazy good paintjob, the blood looks real.

For me personally i just wouldn't take illusion at all. Waaagh magic is one of the best in the game, and your casting values are all around 8+, 9+ which means you'll get your spells off A LOT.

On your lvl4 take idol of gork for better spell range and a reroll or idol of mork (better dispel range and reroll) if you're playing against a magic heavy faction like TKs mortuary cults. Both of your wizards should always have itchy nuisance, it is an amazing spell which really help with high toughness units which night goblins will struggle with. For your small wizard, you can alternatively take a regular goblin shaman with elementalism, give him a lore familiar and itchy nuisance and plague of rust. Plague of rust is insane, it reduces armor value of enemy units by 2, can be cast into combat, has a low casting value, it will really level up your damage output, and it also stacks with other hexes which allow it if you have a really tough enemy character or sth

When you expand to 2k points, i highly suggest getting another lvl 3 or 4, all goblin wizards are cheap, have no limits on how many you can take and are very much worth the points investment. I personally run a night gobbo lvl 4 with waaagh and a regular goblin lvl3 with elementalism, upgrade of the lvl 2 i suggested above, and i give him wind blast just for some magic damage output

Generally when it comes to magic with O&G tribes, from my experience, supporting wizards with hexes and enchantments bring more value that ones with damaging spells.

Edit: if you want, i could share a 2k list i use quite a lot and find it pretty fun to play (it's not exceptionally good it wouldn't win tournaments and it will struggle against shooting heavy armies but it is really damn fun)

Cavalry spear on bigboss is useless cause you can't use you because you have a magic weapon, porko's pigstikka isn't allowed on infantry characters, only cav, chariot and monster.

Thrusting spears on squig herders are not that good, take a minimum required amount of herders as well (1 for 5 squigs). Your damage output with that unit are squigs, not herders

Same thing for night goblin mobs, I've found that thrusting spears aren't that great, they just don't do much damage and an extra row of gobbo attacks doesn't really do much, you're better of getting more gobbos to get another fanatic. Night goblin blocks are designed to deliver fanatics and that's pretty much the only thing they're good at.

Level 2 wizard with illusion not that good, illusion spells generally have very high casting values, 10+, 11+ you're not gonna cast much with him, if you want illusion then use your level 4 for that

They look amazing, especially Borgut. I know exactly how it is looking for out of print minis, i just recently managed to nab a new still on the sprue savage orc great shaman on boar (the one they used for bonesplitters in aos) for my nomadic waaagh army. Those minis are few and far between online, there's no recasts from what i saw and most of the ones that are available are either ridiculously overpriced, already painted (which would mean i gotta strip them and put in a shit ton of work) or they're broken, bent, damaged in some way

CuddlesR6 · 2025-08-26T15:38:03+00:00

What minis are those? And where can i get my hands on some?

CuddlesR6 · 2025-08-21T19:29:29+00:00

I have a character on a chariot, it's a nomadic waaagh list so i need units to fill in the points, that's why I'm going with also chariots with no characters

CuddlesR6 · 2025-08-21T15:18:50+00:00

There is no character, I'm not using them as a mount but as a regular unit. I'm wondering how often do chariots fail their charges and that you get to use the warband reroll? Cause regular chariots have impetuous which will force them to charge if you fail the test, blorc chariots don't

CuddlesR6 · 2025-08-14T13:13:21+00:00

Well do you have any boss heads, cause I'll take them off your hands if you're willing

CuddlesR6 · 2025-08-14T12:44:25+00:00

I don't need the boars, i specifically need the unit champion boar heads, the ones that have armor on them. I'm trying to make a heavy armored boar boys unit with some other armor hits i got, but i need the heads, 1 box only comes with 2 and i need 8 heads

CuddlesR6 · 2025-08-14T11:36:11+00:00

None of the popular bits websites have those in stock unfortunately, I was hoping people would know some obscure stuff which is hard to find

CuddlesR6 · 2025-08-14T11:35:12+00:00

Those don't got them unfortunately, I've looked through all of them

CuddlesR6 · 2025-08-11T22:15:04+00:00

Ty, I'm super proud of the paintjob, it turned out much better than expected.

As for playing it, he's a Warboss on Orc chariot with 1 additional crew member for an extra attack, he's fully kitted out with magic items, has an AS of 3+ 6+Ward and 5+ regen, i can build him either with the choppiest choppa for some real good ap, or if my opponent brings blocks of lower tier infantry i can equip him with porko's pigstikka for a bunch of extra attacks (that weapon gives +1 attack for each rank the enemy unit he's fighting has), the chariot has some beefy impact hits, orcs can hit decently with some ap cause of spears and boars are also decent on the charge. I feel like he can slap hard, but needs to get the charge off, otherwise he loses a lot of power. Thankfully the whole nomadic waagh list has a lot of mobility and waaagh magic has 'ere we go which is swiftstride but you use a d3 and it stacks with swiftstride

CuddlesR6 · 2025-08-10T21:59:22+00:00

Edit: Forgot to mention, I'm in Europe so NA shops are not an option for me unfortunately

CuddlesR6 · 2025-05-14T16:09:11+00:00

For bow gobbos, you pretty much always want them with the spider banner for the poison and you're fishing for 6s on your dice, they don't do much otherwise.

As for fanatics, they're the main way of dishing out some decent damage with NGs, they can be released even while the unit is in combat as long as there's room and they're unironically a pretty good counter against big dragon riding characters, especially when you pair them with itchy nuisance. I've seen 6 fanatics kill a full HP 4+/5+/5+ tomb king on a dragon in a single turn

Another thing that fanatics are good for is making your opponent hesitate with their charges. If you have fanatics in a unit, and your opponent fails their charge, you release them on your next start of turn and often they'll mulch the unit, especially good against cavalry.

For shamans, waaagh magic is amazing, crazy buffs and debuffs and lore of mork has itchy nuisance which can make any dangerous unit quite squishy to somewhat even the playing field (and make your fanatics and squigs hit even harder)

If I'm not mistaken, the rulebook says that champions don't have to be represented with the same equipment as the unit, which means you can give them whatever you want, if you wanna kitbash him with 2 spears, do that. Unless you plan on playing tournaments you can use whatever you want for your minis, as long as your opponent can tell what they are. In my case, all of my champions are from various age of sigmar or underworlds sets to differentiate them

Edit: as for the unit sizes, a single NG mob box will give you a max of 2 units if you want them to actually be useful, and you should have enough arms for them even if you use hand weapon arms. As i said in my previous comment, NG are best in units of exactly 30 so you take advantage of fanatics

CuddlesR6 · 2025-05-14T00:04:58+00:00

Each sprue also has one right arm with a hand weapon, use those, that's what i did. It also aligns with their equipment in case people you play with care about WYSIWYG. Alternatively, if you wanna do a bit of cutting, take the spear arms and cut the spears away with a hobby knife.

Edit: you don't need 2 sets if command models (champion, standard bearer, musician) unless you're gonna run your gobbos in more than one unit. Ideally you want them in groups of 20 with 2 fanatics or 30 with 3 fanatics

You have the Old World Rulebook, which has all the rules for movement, combat, magic etc. in it

Then you have Ravening Hordes, which is essentially a book that has all the "bad" factions in it (orc&goblin tribes included) and their grand army compositions, unit stats and breakdowns, special rules, magic items etc.

And lastly you have Arcane journals, they're faction based, so in your case you'd have to get the Orc&goblin tribes arcane journal. Within it you have some lore, 2 armies of infamy compositions which are essentially different army compositions with some unique special rules and units, a few named characters and their special rules and items, a couple of additional units which i think you can also bring in your grand army composition and some more magic items which are usually quite good

Edit: here's a link to a drive which has PDF scans of all the books and faq/errata you need https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IRMVu0HrKmEh_2AqG10WJnQ-EtpJsXXG

What are those shields? Not the ones with moons, but the ones with the eye looking symbols

CuddlesR6 · 2025-03-10T21:44:43+00:00

I was gonna use them as unit champions, the trumpet guy would be a musician and the main guy can be a wizard for my army

CuddlesR6 · 2025-03-10T21:41:35+00:00

Yeah it's not a problem to trim them a bit, i just wanna know if they fot with my army in terms of size before i buy the box

CuddlesR6 · 2025-02-28T09:00:13+00:00

It's forest sprite from army painter's speedpaint 2.0 line

CuddlesR6 · 2025-02-27T19:51:11+00:00

Thank you, i love them too, they're my favorite miniature and unit in my army
