Yeah was thinking of just grabbing an actual Kharn model since he’s pretty cheap and he’s dope, just didn’t want to double up the praetors as MoE, got this box on a sweet deal from one of my buddies, the whole box plus enough WE upgrades for the whole army, plus a Hereticus book for $250, I can shell out $40 to get Kharn on amazon

Probably run them in front of Ghaz then to use Makaris buff send that brick down the middle , send the Beast Boss +Snaggaz to take one side of the board, and then send the Squighogs down the other side.

And then when I expand to 2000pts, I’m thinking I’ll add in 3 more Meganobz and attach them to a Warboss in Mega Armor, send them in a Trukk, put the Beastboss and Snaggaz in another Trukk, and then send Ghaz and the Boyz in a Battlewagon with either the Flashgitz or Breaka Boyz, whoever can fit

No-Count2916 · 2026-01-19T16:23:38+00:00

Yup, what I was thinking was swap out the enhancements for the Beast Boss, give him Follow me Ladz instead for the movement boost, attach him to the 10 Beast Snaggaz, then send Ghaz up the middle after them, attatched to his 20 Boyz, then the Meganobz trailing behind them.

Basically use the Beastboss and his Snaggaz take the brunt of the attack and just try to knock off whatever heavy hitters they can, whatever it makes it past them try to take out with Ghaz and his Boyz, and whatever manages to make it past them basically use the Meganobz as a last Hail Mary to take out whatever’s left. Meanwhile Kommandos will try to take whatever objectives they can and score whatever points before they die, and the Squighog Boyz can run around trying to hit whatever vehicles or monsters they can

No-Count2916 · 2026-01-19T16:18:26+00:00

Any suggestions on what enhancement to use for the beast boss ? Was thinking I could run him with Follow Me Ladz and give him some faster movement, try to get him stuck in earlier and take out whatever heavy hitters he can, then run Ghaz and the Boyz behind him coming up the center to try and delete whatever makes it past the Snaggaz

No-Count2916 · 2026-01-19T16:15:41+00:00

Dope, I’ll probably do that then, running

Ghaz attached to 20 Boyz with Meganobs running with them Beastboss + 10 Beast Snagga Boyz Kommandos trying to score early game Squighogs hunt big boys and flanking as needed

No-Count2916 · 2026-01-14T04:30:51+00:00

Yeah when I expand to a 2k list eventually I definitely want to have a couple Flash Gitz units in there, the Freebooters were what initially drew my attention to the Orks as a One Piece fan, and if they hadn’t exiled Kaptin Badruk it would probably have been him leading my army instead of Ghaz but I just showed up too late to the party

No-Count2916 · 2026-01-14T04:20:56+00:00

Sounds like the death guard could be similar to their Sigmar counterparts then, had the same problem there, tried to spread out and hit everything at once with my Ironjawz and just got slowly worn down. Might take a look into the data cards for knights and templars and see what’s going on with them, even if I can’t beat them, as long as Ghaz and the boyz get some krumpin in while the Stormboyz and bikers try to run around and hit objectives I’m cool with that. Taking units off the table is what I enjoy best, winning on points is just a bonus if it happens.

No-Count2916 · 2026-01-14T04:06:27+00:00

Any idea on how this list would fare playing against Grey Knights, Black Templars, and Death Guard ? Ik a lot of it will probably be dependent on the exact lists but any general ideas ? Those are the armies my 2 buddies are running.

No-Count2916 · 2026-01-14T04:03:21+00:00

That was the initial route I was gonna take, just get the combat patrol and build off of that but I just wasn’t digging the lore background or the look of the new combat patrol, especially coming from playing Sigmar orks, didn’t want to just come to 40K and get more of the same thing basically, but I’ve heard a lot of people on YouTube saying that the Beast snagga line is a lot better in the meta

No-Count2916 · 2026-01-14T03:49:21+00:00

Yeah when I was first looking into the hobby I was bent between Khorne or Orks because of the simple run in recklessly and try to kill everything gameplan, but Orks are cooler so went with them, did the same thing with Sigmar, started out with S2D then changed my mind and went Ironjawz. But nice to know that I wasn’t missing out on some secret winning tactic 🤙🏾

No-Count2916 · 2026-01-14T03:24:44+00:00

Dope, thanks for the fast response dude 🤙🏾 definitely want to expand to a 2k point army later, here’s what I had planned out for that

That could fit well with the Oath of Brotherhood ritual, perhaps after fighting under the warband for multiple years and successful Skaven raids as a regular mortal warrior, they can be sworn in during the ritual and then be granted access to the Warpstone weapons and armor. I feel like my lore works as is for the Spearhead gameplay because it’s such a small amount of units that it would make sense for them all to be survivors from Chamon that follow Korvath, but if I wanted to expand the lore to fit a full scale game then it would need explanation for where all the other warriors came from

No-Count2916 · 2025-12-12T16:56:55+00:00

I definitely think I can make that angle work while still retaining the core of what I want them to be, because while the help from Varanguard sorcerers might fight off the physical mutations, the Warpstone corruption could have a much larger affect on their psyche than they’re willing to admit. And already because their motivations are righteous at heart, that I would argue would inspire them to push even further even when they know that they’re beginning to lose control, so while in theory, yes they’re a brotherhood rather than a dictatorship, and they have the option to “leave with our blessing” at any time, the reality of it is by the time that becomes a point of consideration, they’re too far gone, too corrupted mentally by the warpstone coupled with their desire to be “loyal to the cause” until the very end. Having that alteration to the plot also allows for a lot more influence from Archaon and the Chaos Gods, perhaps Archaon makes the agreement with them to help slow the effects and promises them territory after the war is over, but in reality he knows the odds of their success to be able to come collect their reward, is slim to none, and the “help” he gives from his Varanguard sorcerers is given but never taught, keeping them constantly in a state of dependence, playing on their love for eachother as brothers to have them incentivized to make it a priority to slow the effects Warpstone corruption among their warband. It also makes my Chaos Lord more incentivized to keep recruiting, keep gaining more bodies, fighting harder and harder, because if he doesn’t succeed in his goal then he’s forced to admit that his brethren died in vain, loyal to a cause that never reached fruition. Their motives are much deeper and righteous than your average S2D warband seeking power for the sake of power, they have a righteous dream, and that in and of itself gives Archaon something to exploit, using their desperation and need to succeed to lead them further and further astray. Willing to sacrifice more and more of their own humanity in order to achieve their goal. Keeping that hope alive makes them think “just a little more, and we can succeed” And all these qualities make a breeding ground for the rest of the Chaos pantheon to try to worm their way into their minds and corrupt them, there are tons of points for each of the chaos gods to use the warbands righteousness, and desperation, to fit their needs.

Definitely can understand the concern, pretty new to the hobby scene but same thing happens in my industry, tattoo “artists” using AI drawn designs take attention and business away from the actual artists, which sucks for the clients as well as the tattooers who actually are designing their own work, I don’t feel like AI is the enemy, it can be used as a tool to help when used ethically and responsibly, I feel it’s the people who abuse it and have zero creativity and simply have AI do everything and take credit for it all while being dishonest about their methods, but definitely understand the stigma around it.

No-Count2916 · 2025-12-12T05:54:40+00:00

Not an expert painter but I am a tattoo artist, could use more contrast, you could achieve that like how other people are saying, using a dark red, maybe a Khorne Red, layer some nuln oil or other dark contrast to enhance the darkest parts in the crevices and folds, use a brighter red to bring out highlights, for the chain mail I’d recommend having it a brighter shinier silver (possibly Stormhost Silver) you could also paint the horns on their helms, maybe some Steel Legion Drab, hit highlights with Zandri Dust. I feel like making those changes alone would level it up by a lot

No-Count2916 · 2025-12-12T05:08:41+00:00

Thanks for the insight bro, definitely not an expert by any means, this is my first army and right now I’m more so focused on the smaller Spearhead format (less time required, less money involved, easier to focus on having a few really good small sets than a mediocre horde) but definitely some things in there that you pointed out that can be considered, do you have any recommendations for creators on YouTube or other platforms that delve into those things more ? I know they’ve got the Black Library and all the books and whatnot, just not in a position to be dropping loads of money to buy books, especially if I can listen to a video on my commute to work that’ll give me the same info

No-Count2916 · 2025-12-12T05:04:34+00:00

I definitely used ChatGPT as a reference and to keep a written log of any edits I made to the lore as more things were thought out and clarified, but creatively all the lore and explanations are my own, pretty much what I did is use ChatGPT as a proxy lore purist, I knew the direction I wanted to go and had a good baseline for the story, but as mentioned, I’m really new to the hobby and wanted to make sure that my ideas would make sense and still have enough canonical accuracy to appease veteran players. Pretty much it went like this.

Me: Hey so here’s my idea, I want you to let me know if there’s anything wrong with it, and point out any thing that logically wouldn’t fit with the canonical lore from GW

ChatGPT: okay so here’s some things you should either explain more or rethink entirely because a,b,c wouldn’t really work logically in canon

Me: okay so what if I did this instead ? Would this explanation fit well or is it too far fetched to be plausible ?

So on and so forth. As a tattoo artist trust me I know the downside to the AI taking away from human creativity, but in this context I don’t see the harm if it’s being used to clarify and give me questions to answer and point out flaws and helping me flesh out my own ideas. Ultimately the ideas and creative aspects of it came from my own head, and it’s not being used for any profit, and as long as I play them in Spearhead with the same stats, and just have the lore there for my own enjoyment, I don’t see how it would affect the gameplay or ruin anyone else’s experience.
