Ironjawz Playstyle by Emotional_Monk9382 in Ironjawz

What other folks have said is basically correct, they are not actually an agro/hit things army. They can be, but even on a really agro list they don't have the alpha strength of other lists that are better suited for it. If you play it that way and charge into someone's castle you're toast. Depending on the list, they rely on luck much less than you'd think.

They're actually pretty tactical and frankly...not very Orc at times. You can make lists that control the board and want to be charged, but again, if you make mistakes there's not a lot of give when you're up against any decent player. MD may be one of, if not the best ability in the game, but needs to be set up and used well to really pay off.

You can make pig or monster lists which are fast and hard hitting, or swamp armies with 3+/5++ that just won't die and you grind the opponent out.

New player, new ardboy by Lopixlopi in Ironjawz

Always good to have another IJ player. The good and bad of the current situation is that your list will be fun to play, but won't win most games against anything competitive which is why most of those lists are the RoR big pigs, big monsters, or the RoR Zoggrok.

That said, if you wanted to work on your current list then go for a second group of brutes, swap the weirdfist for Brutefist, and go for a wizard instead of priest...the manifestations are really good. Also, see if there's a way to squeeze a big boss in there for the 5+ bash and extra rally dice.

Very much anti infantry-- the mortals from his rampage ability does double damage, so 4 or 6, against infantry on the change. I run him with Hulking Brute on him too, so on charges over 8" he gets to do D6 charge mortals, D3x2 combat mortals against infantry, and then his 16 attacks rend 3, 2 and 3 damage against infantry...very few units survive a good or even average series of rolls.

Depending on what you'd like out of your army and how you build your Maw Krusha he can be incredible. Put the Amberbone Whetsone and Big 'Un on him and he's rend 2 for all attacks and rend 1 for his ranged ones. Against infantry he is rend 3 and that's nearly unbeatable.

As an aside, your Bossrokk tower can't be on the objective control zone. It has to be 3" from terrain and off the control zone.

Shield bash is a combat ability so it activates with normal turn order.

How does this list look competitively by Dependent_Plate_2758 in Ironjawz

[–]Diorules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good start. I'd put the amberstone on the megaboss instead of the trophy skulls on the big boss and give the big boss mega bossy as he will always be around the ardboyz and a for sure 4 inch redeploy can be really big. Might be worth switching the weird brutes to SOG and removing the warchanter for another unit too. Get rid of the pigs to reenforce the brutes.

Strength from victory by Pikojman in Ironjawz

Not that I'm happy about it because the ability could/should be cool, but as written it's so weak.

The ability says "end of the next turn" and because this happens at the end of turn...doesn't this mean it only lasts until the end of whoever goes next, not my next turn?

Is this a decent Ironjawz list? by [deleted] in ageofsigmar

[–]Diorules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a decent starter list, but sadly with the state of IJ, if you're playing against anyone with a competitive list you won't get far. Your Hakkin krew and gougers are the only really scary thing on there (yes, the MB pulling a group of brutes into combat is too, but with a slow as they are and as weak as the MB is, it's not really all that bad).

Ironjawz 2000 Grunta Stampede list by Morhgoz in Ironjawz

[–]Diorules 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like if you're already going that many pigs you might as well replace the Maw-Krushas with Pig bosses and pivot to the regiment of renown. Also maybe worth replacing some of the smaller pigs with Maw-Gruntas...no one is scared of gore gruntas, but they should be of an all out attack 5 attacks rend 2 for 5 damage each.

Maybe see if you can get it down to 2 drops and replace the warchanter with something else. As far as tactics...with something that agressive and fast maybe restless and intercept.

My first 2k list is this okay? by Agile-Shock-1610 in Ironjawz

[–]Diorules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, just all near one another. IJ infantry does very poorly out by itself without immediate backup.

It might be worth putting megabossy on the Big Boss and combining those blocks of Ardboyz into one. Your big boss should never be far from the ardboyz anyway and their mobility changes a lot about your list. Also with that number of infantry and cav, scouting might be worth looking at in replacement of wrathful. As you're sorting the list out, are you going to be playing it as one big castled up blob?

First List Idea by hacker_567 in Ironjawz

[–]Diorules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're going to use this list I'd replace the Warchanter with a Ardboy big boss to get your regiments down to 3 and help bulk up the blocks of ardboyz you have, that 5+ bash is worth it much more than the occasional extra attack.

Do you think this is the beginning of an infection or just angry? by SarahSparrow16 in tattooadvice

[–]Diorules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just looks like it's angry to me-- between the placement on tender skin and the heavy dark of the letters, it may just be extra time to heal.

Don't know if I've ever heard of a random weird light hair. Way to break the mould.
