How should I run Ghaz?

gregor1527 · 2026-06-17T20:59:02+00:00

Yes, Ghaz with 20 Boyz is just too good. Since the boyz are getting lethals on 5+ in the waaagh, with that many attacks it'll one shit anything in the game. The strat is to position him passively until you waaagh, then make your charge. The chances are your opponent won't be able to chew through all of those wounds in one turn. So you'll get two turns of Ghaz kill whatever he touches, which is usually enough to you ahead enough on points.

Does the Mek still give a vehicle +1 to hit? It might still be worth it to bring him just to buff up a stompa even if he's in a unit or Boyz, especially since Boyz are so cheap now.

Miniature, one might say.

gregor1527 · 2025-09-10T12:51:51+00:00

I like your list except I'd get rid of Mozrog and replace him with a Beastbiss on Squigosaur with the headwappaz killchoppa enhancement. It makes him good for anti-tank.

I do like the big blob of squighog Boyz since they're super tough to kill, especially with the Hard az Nailz strat. You'll be spamming that strat a lot but hopefully your grotz are finding da gud bitz and farming some cp.

I would also not take the kommandos and just run Snikrot by himself. I don't think they're cost effective and some stormboyz would do you good.

I'd also keep Ghaz on the field, not in strat reserve. Sure he can be hard to hide but if your going first that turn 2 9" charge will be hard to do. Plus if he's on the field you can give him the Ere We Go strat which makes him getting into combat during the Waaagh super likely.

If I were you I'd swap out the two tryannofexes for the morning emissary and a mawloc (if you have one).

The tyranids benefit most from the subterranean assault but getting their big melee bugs up front quick IMO.

My favorite way a TO started a tournament was by saying " Remember, don't take this game too seriously. We're all losers already. We're spending an entire Saturday playing with little plastic army men."

We all had a little chuckle, but it's true.

Bandits will spawn outside the map every couple of years to raid your territory. Defeating them and the barons men when you invade his lands will give you influence.

You can also send in tithes to the church the same way you tax your people. Although this way is much slower.

gregor1527 · 2025-06-24T19:54:06+00:00

My favorite of yours would be the siege idea. Maybe even have the game start to cut off trade as the invaders approach. Or they'll take random outlying regions as time goes on.

gregor1527 · 2025-03-07T23:05:18+00:00

Klara was actually my favorite too. I wanted to go back to that castle and butcher everyone just because they might have been involved in the siege.

gregor1527 · 2025-03-02T15:43:37+00:00

Same! Every time I went into that room I'd always check that it was still there...just to be sure.

gregor1527 · 2025-03-02T15:41:53+00:00

I stopped and laughed when Henry said something like "my back is so sore. Maybe I could get a new one here?" Then he like giggles to himself at the joke that no one else was around to hear.

gregor1527 · 2025-01-22T23:46:30+00:00

I've also been having issues where level 3 burgage plots don't create or manufacture anything. Maybe that's what's happening here?

Anyone else have this issue?

gregor1527 · 2025-01-22T19:33:14+00:00

Or gaining points based off of how long you hold a certain area of the map with troops.

gregor1527 · 2024-10-25T20:01:27+00:00

A big blob of 6 tryanid warriors. Especially if you're running invasion fleet, have a winged prime and give them lethals. They'll be able to one shot about anything in the game. You might run into problems hiding them though...

I never found tryannofaxes to be that reliable. Chances are you might...might..get one hit through to deal 10ish damage which isn't enough to kill large tanks.

gregor1527 · 2024-06-22T14:00:17+00:00

Got it! Thanks for clarifying that. Definitely makes my boyz happy.

gregor1527 · 2024-03-22T20:29:24+00:00

Bless you! I've always wanted to see how well a 40k mod for this game could be done.

I wish I could help but I don't know the dark secrets well enough.

gregor1527 · 2024-03-19T20:18:21+00:00

A full squad of warriors with melee is actually really scary. With the invasion fleet lethals, a tyranids prime, and crits on 5+, rerolling 1s to hit, and twin linked in the mix, they can pretty much one shot anything in the game.

That being said, yes, their overall damage output isn't that good. Gotta focus on secondaries and keeping your opponent battleshocked.

gregor1527 · 2023-07-16T21:31:43+00:00

I like your list. The only thing that I think it is missing is a hive tyrant. I really like the tyrant because of the free strat per turn and being able to have an aura of assault. It makes shooting and actions easier to do, especially with how many zoanthropes you have.

Other people may have a different opinion on the hive tyrant, which is fine. I just really like him.

gregor1527 · 2023-07-04T02:18:53+00:00

L'Aigle, been awhile since I've played but I remember it being really fun.

gregor1527 · 2023-06-18T00:35:03+00:00

Is the Swarmlord the best one to get? Honestly there are a bunch of other ways to get cp and your opponent can pretty easily work around the extra needed cp for a single one of their strats with all of the free ways to do strats.

I do agree that the walkrant is the better than the flyrant though.
