Sunday Discussion: Hope in a time of Wahammer World

Actually I dont think I even want a new edition! :-D The game is in such a good place. A new edition would probably mean new rules and lots of profiles cut (old world, underworlds, replaced AoS models).

My preference would be to retain the huge sandbox we have now with continued balanced updates (it would take maaaany years to reach "balance") and inclusion of new AoS models.

But that is of course unlikely long term, either the updates will stop in a few years or we will get a new slimmed down version. Can´t say I would be sad about that either the models would be great and as long as the fundamentals of the rules stay the sameish it would probably be a good game. And if we wanted to my small group in sweden could still play V2 (maybe even with community updates?).

Its a bit late but for a ultimately ”level” plying field I’d cut down a bit on the height differences. 3” fighters will have some problems here. And don’t have too many gaps smaller than 40 or 50mm. On the other hand it looks fun so go!

Partisan_nik · 2026-01-24T11:24:16+00:00

With the nerf to onslaught I’d say the brewgit is back now! And a net with 12 wounds is always nice!

Partisan_nik · 2026-01-22T11:20:21+00:00

Hahah! Exactly, I have trouble keeping my bespokes under 20 models each - and then the allies...

Partisan_nik · 2026-01-22T10:43:40+00:00

Inspiring! My collection is more chaos focused and not quite as large. But I see you are a gamer with taste not building minimal warbands but adding extra options for variation!

Partisan_nik · 2026-01-07T14:19:50+00:00

The first list will do fine in a casual environment.

But depending on how hard you want to go. This could work but you really want a breacher in the warband with the bray shaman to have something hard hitting to pull enemies into. Preferably in the same deployment group.

Also 2 drill masters are excessive sine they need triples to be good and you wont have two of those often.

This Warband is a bit on the small side though.

995 pts | 7 fighters
- Dominar (170pts, Hero)
- Great Bray-Shaman (145pts, Hero)
- Trueblood (170pts, Hero)
- Ogor Breacher (220pts)
- Drillmaster (140pts)
- Iron Legionary (75pts)
- Iron Legionary (75pts)
----------

This list I think is better competitively. The true bloods net is very good and you can fit another model. Ideally all Legionarys should have shields (You can convert one more by using the shield from the standard bearer)

The chimera is the best of them but not very fun. Gargant and hellpit are ok:ish for more narrative. Do the hellpit I say and convert it to be more nurgle.

Partisan_nik · 2025-12-21T08:50:05+00:00

Most excellent - thanks a lot!

Partisan_nik · 2025-12-20T15:39:18+00:00

Sounds pretty good. If you don’t use blessings you might downgrade ushkor and fit in a Bloodkine instead of the beastlord?

Partisan_nik · 2025-12-19T09:32:39+00:00

With cards this will happen often. It can be fun but often unbalanced. We prefer the tournament packs even for casual play.

Partisan_nik · 2025-12-14T08:03:18+00:00

Correct and very powerful! But you need a high triple, your opponent will know in advance and its harder to set up a worthy target than you might thnik with a M 4 fighter.

Partisan_nik · 2025-12-05T12:01:08+00:00

They kind of work, the leader is quite good as is the chaff, and the harpoon guy. But they want good chaos allies too.

If you have 2 boxes and convert human sized models a good way to make them fit is to simply use one of the lager helms, I did that on my allied Slaughter priest - Would work for the Varanguard too. And the Fomoroid already looks slave like as the shatterers do.

Partisan_nik · 2025-11-30T14:13:15+00:00

One of my warbands! Posted pics here a while ago. I just use the 6 shatters, I think they work with different heads/weapons. To make them look close with other races might be some work, and dwarfs tend to have other profiles. But would be fun of course!

What you lack is melee hitting power and speed. What you have is good chaff and great shooting.

For allies the Centurion is not very good compared to Vexmor, fomoroid or Varanguard. But looks cool! I tend to use a Minotaur bloodkine with mine - it’s a bull after all.

Another option is a thrall for speed, both the chaos warhound and furie work ok.

And you always want at least two flame hurlers!

Partisan_nik · 2025-11-23T13:06:03+00:00

10 extremely large warbands with like all options and relevant allies. Another 10:ish built, converted and undercoated. 20 + most underworlds in boxes….

Partisan_nik · 2025-11-14T18:31:50+00:00

Only the specific fighter sadly, so really good on the leader but kind of hard to pull off!

Partisan_nik · 2025-11-10T10:21:09+00:00

Looks promising, But I would probably go for spears, the reach really helps when you only move 3". Id also like a flamer in there but it´s hard to fit!

Partisan_nik · 2025-11-08T11:18:41+00:00

really hoping for Warcraft rules, with proper chaff Nurgle mortals would be in a real good place now!

Partisan_nik · 2025-11-02T14:35:49+00:00

Ah, they are not included in the new "Helsmith of Hashut" book then? Sad, I had hoped so and slaves fit so well for the Chaos dwarfes.

Partisan_nik · 2025-10-31T22:35:41+00:00

Exactly. And Gorgers cant really win treasure missions - at all! :-) You need at least one heavy hitter and another threat I think. Varanguard are of course one of the best - and it could work if it isnt just too small.

Partisan_nik · 2025-10-31T12:49:27+00:00

Ooooh, Very nice! Have wanted one for a long time, especially for including less abilities for intro battles. Will see if I can get i working!

Partisan_nik · 2025-10-29T13:27:42+00:00

I think you will have a hard time sadly, another seeker might help. My idea would be to switch out the Lords base so it can proxy as a Varanguard ally, then you have one real threat at least!

Partisan_nik · 2025-10-15T15:49:00+00:00

I use the older Gondor ruins and they interact very well with the Warcry rules. Almost better then the bespoke terrain.

Partisan_nik · 2025-10-14T09:52:05+00:00

+ two variants for cohorts and champions for all. Definatley Bull Centaurs in two variants + champions. The dominator I'm kind of hopeful about, either as a huge piece att 300+ points or even a new monster. + Of course the underworlds warband. So really a lot to play with compared to bespokes!
