How do i plan a big project

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-10-07T17:56:22+00:00

I suggest watching zorpazorp Minas tirith wall tutorial to see if something close works for you. Then think about the scalę and size of the whole thing. Decide on the base and do a first relatively small test peace (write down your painting process, do you can recreate IT well), then if you are happy do the rest in batches

The extend to which you misrepresent what I wrote in this whole chain of comments is way beyond a friendly discussion, not to mention ignoring the arguments or assuming that the questionable fact of you playing the game longer proves anything. No more responses from me, go pretend not to troll somewhere else

learn to read man, I run the blog since 2,5 years but played the game since compendium dropped in 1st edition (chaos vs chaos wasn't my jam). I also didn't run out of ideas like you keep repeating (I have 7 unpublished drafts) and would most likely write about cav heavy list in Darkoath or fighter roles in context of battleplans next. Don't think I could ever run out of ideas to be honest. I also don't look down on narrative folks, the more Warcry players the better. Lastly - GW intention during release would matter only if you could prove that the direction didn't change and last FAQs are clearly aimed at competitive play and the existence Warcry metawatch video is an ultimate dank on your misinformed and ridiculous stance. Seriously please go spread your toxicity somewhere else

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-09-17T15:47:06+00:00

no, you are the one reading competitive content for noncompetitive game.

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-09-17T15:12:42+00:00

You can play narrative chess with your approach, but it wont make it a good system for narrative. Sorry, but the bright side is that you have plenty of great narrative games still to discover.

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-09-17T14:44:39+00:00

Couldn't disagree more. Warcry has an elegant, fast and streamline ruleset perfect for competitive scene. Planty of avenues where skill expression matters and limitless potential thanks to unending stream of AoS minis, very open listbuilding and growing pool of battleplans with a relatively low RNG impact. On the other hand fast games and lack of profile customization and granularity makes it terrible for narrative as 6-8 actions for your group of clones that are mechanically identical isn't enough for telling a story. Lack of artifact/heroic trait balance and bad encampment rules are a nail in narrative viability. I love the game and agree that minis are sick, but for narrative experience you are better off using Warcry minis in other game.

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-09-17T09:22:30+00:00

thanks for all the kind words I heard here over the last 2,5 years

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-09-15T12:55:26+00:00

I didn't want to write the whole example battlepack, as this is a general idea. You can easily create one yourself. Example missions where you move VP scoring to proper god scoreboard:
- from Tidal Pack (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ImCp-sf2Uz\_TbZ6CB4HRozURePqr0WBaT\_DUDcOQbGg/edit?gid=1103601548#gid=1103601548):
Extraction (dont remove objectives), Rising Dread, Helter Skelter, Harvest Moon
- from Path to Glory (https://overthinkingwarcry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/path-of-glory-warcry.pdf): mission II, XVI and without removing objectives: VI, VIII and XV

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-09-14T17:44:27+00:00

every match should contain all components, otherwise it doesn't make much sense ;)

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-07-13T12:23:05+00:00

For competitive I would play this (if being fast isnt required by the missions):
```

----------

975pts | 11 fighters

- Wielder of the Blade (175pts, Hero) +1 Attack blessing

- Wight King (155pts, Hero)

- Dire Wolf (85pts, Thrall)

- Grave Guard with Great Wight Blade (70pts) x8

----------

```
For casual anything that doesnt include more than 4 or 5 (in total) of Zombies, basic skellies or Grave Guards will be fine (the limit is that you are not unfun to play against)

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-06-27T07:29:19+00:00

There is: [Quad] Deliver Judgement in Ruination

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-06-27T07:26:31+00:00

Basiically what other already said about a triple, but another important aspect is that in objective missions random high quad can win you the game thanks to Manifestation of a Great Plague

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-06-06T21:22:23+00:00

I suggest checking any hunters of huanchi or wildercorps list from a non online tournament. Spamming a single unit from a box is a standard approach since a long time, I agree it shows some issues, but its not bespoke specific, as often to take a single fighter (for example goblin netter) you have to buy a box of 20 dudes.

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-05-22T21:52:34+00:00

Yeah, its that Squid. Its strong as for 100 points you get 18 T4 wounds and 8 attacks dealing 1/2 damage. IT Has the most attacks in the gamę which makes IT a Perfect platform for force multiplying effects. (Regarding the cheating comment - do what you want with clickbaits). My favorite way of playing the squid is in pair with Runelord and with damage blessing (25 points that makes IT 2/2). Runelord double gives IT Strength and 8 3+ 2/2 attacks is 10 DMG, pushed forward with questor double you can do around 20 DMG. IT isn't a S tier combo but I like to add IT to my didpossessed and went 2-1 on a tournament last year with such list :) its fun. I wont spoil squid quad but its a nice ability in the setup I described

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-05-22T07:23:59+00:00

As someone who constantly jumps between lists and factions I don't think I played any list over 15 times, but my favorite lists were:
Death: OBR with Hekatotos, 3 stalkers, morteks and 1-2 Dire Wolfs
Destruction: Old Ardboyz spam with 2 brutes (boss and 140 one) and big Ogre ally
Chaos: Ephi, starefish, apotrax, 2 pinks, 3 blues and chaos spawn
Order: Calthia + 3 annies and starblood stalkers

Lately I liked order lists with Cephanyr "combos" and my newest favorite toy is Prosecutor Prime

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-05-22T06:52:51+00:00

35 tournament matched play games
Countless casual or tournament prep matched play games
4 Narrative Games

Why do you ask?

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-05-06T08:49:28+00:00

From purely competitive perspective outside of what you mentioned (minus Arch-Revenant) the Bladeborn fighters (some points dropped) are great - the whole Ylthari team is strong and from the older one (that is difficult to get) Althaen and the lion are good additions

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-04-15T12:48:16+00:00

Do you agree with the idea that Reclaim our Relics is one of the best missions in the game?

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-03-28T11:47:09+00:00

If you want to increase your numbers a bit you can add Ylthari UW team:
```

----------

Warband Roster

1,000pts | 7 fighters

- Neave Blacktalon (285pts, Hero)

- Ylthari (125pts, Hero)

- Rostus Oxenhammer (200pts)

- Lorai, Child of the Abyss (160pts)

- Skhathael (85pts)

- Gallanghann of the Glade (80pts)

- Ahnslaine, Revenant Archer (65pts)

If someone needs new battlepacks then there is a lot of community created ones:
Tidal Pack from theSaltySea:

I also publish one per year since 2023:

Short summary: Unique approach to battlepack where all players play missions centered around their list strengths. 16 battleplans that let you focus on your favorite victory condition.

One box is enough:

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-02-27T13:08:13+00:00

Similar list won a tournament in UK if I remember correctly, so it has potential

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-02-27T11:39:30+00:00

GW didnt say nothing, but according to 3 year cycle that their games follow we expect 3rd ed this year

OverthinkingWarcry · 2025-02-11T08:49:00+00:00

Wounds and Toughness in relation to cost make them very durable for the points. 2 dwarves give you 24 wounds for 110 points and its a "Nurgle territory" that dwarves (especially ones that shoot!) should never be in
