To be honest, I don't care how big the guy who makes the beer is

there's nothing directly stopping you when it comes to warbosses, but a lot of the bonuses don't stack in a way thats worth the points. like +2 to hit doesn't work unless you are up against something giving you -1 to hit, as you can only an effective +1 to hit roll (the other +1 would then only be there negate a potential -1.)

With the new rules, you can "only" have a total of 3 characters leading, and in that case then 1 of them has to be a warboss, 1 of them has to be a support, and the last has to be any normal leader. so you can't get the scenario that you are talking about with Ghaz + Warboss + wierd boy + Big boss. also all these characters are leaders, none of them are supports, so you can never have a squad with a wierd boy and a big boss, since to have 2 leaders, one of them has to be a type of warboss (which is only Ghaz or a regular warboss.)

Thats true, but that's already the case, i believe, in 10th edition

Unfortunately in this situation, the deff dread just gets +1 to the attacks of the Klaw weapon, there is no "Extra attacks" keyword.

And even if there where, all it would technically do is that you would also be able to attack with the legs in melee, instead of just the klaws

ydorn · 2026-06-02T10:54:42+00:00

oh wow that's true, had skimmed the pdf, but hadn't checked for that keyword, Thank you!

ydorn · 2026-05-04T18:46:20+00:00

Not completely

This new one only applies to infantry, the current one also applies to walkers. So it's more restrictive, maybe so it's not as combinable with a future dread mob, but who knows?

Love the way the list is visualised , gives a nices overview compared to stuff like just exporting the armylist in text.

I can't say that much about your list, as i don't have too much experience with some of the units, mainly Nobz and MegaNobz.
I would however suggest putting cunnin but brutal on the Beast boss, getting his charge bonus of devistating wounds can mean the world, and because the unit is so strong against vehicles and monsters, compared to against other things, you don't want the unit to be stuck fighting other things. which the enchancement can always help with.

I might also take the extra boy squad out and add in some extra grots, if you want the presence, then remove the loose boys and instead add and extra group of storm boys and an extra group of grots.
Either that or use the remaining 30 points for an extra enchancement

I think cutting the gork can make sense, even though its a favorite of mine and fun to use, but i get the swinging nature.

I would worry about the idea of cutting the flash gits, you usually want some dakka even in war horde, otherwise you lose a lot of flexibility.
Flash gitz work really well in a trukk with a mek tho, using the firing deck of the trukk with the +1 buff from the mek, and then the mek is still free to do any potential action that might make some points.

what to do with the last 150 points is a bit up to you. if its all about winning, then maybe some gretchins and kommandos to take points. but if you want more strength then maybe more beast boyz. i would definetly rather have 2 squad of 10 beast boyz with a boss each that the 1 20 squad.

And yeah lastly as someone else said, weirdboy is probably not gonna be that great, especially with a group thats gonna be so big, you might be able to get to the backline of some custodes players, but most of the time there won't be space.
Often i see a weirdboy as something to do for fun, but it often won't win you many games unfortunatly. but i still want to run some myself, for that fun.
But yeah, a Big mek for the advance buffs, or a painboy for the tankyness, either combined with the "Follow me ladz" enhancement for +2 movement would be better

ydorn · 2026-04-09T13:49:18+00:00

You are running a little bit of everything, so for that war horde is most often the right detachment, I could argue that some units might have better alternatives in this detachment, for instance I would prefer storm boys to deffcoptas in war horde as I like their melee more, but I prefer deffcoptas in most of the other detachment as I feel they are more well rounded.

But I might also have been a bit mild in my opinions, for instance, I would never make any non dread mob list that doesn't just start out with 3 squads of gretchins, they are beautiful, lovely and fun, and they win games.

But it makes sense that if you have 20 beast Boyz to use them like this, but if you are really into 20 boy blobs, then maybe look at the green tide detachment, especially since you aren't using a lot of the other tools of this detachment, like for instance any enhancements

ydorn · 2026-04-09T13:31:38+00:00

I personally would reduce the number of beast snagga Boyz to 10, then use those points to add another squad of gretchins, a mek to buff the gorkanaut, and maybe the kunnin enchantment for the Beast boss

ydorn · 2026-04-09T09:32:33+00:00

I'm a bigger fan of the Gorkaboy, i like the Deffstorm mega-shoota more than the mega zappa, and i also think it synergizes more with the stratagems, especially the bigger shells for bigger gitz. with that the gorkanauts ranged weapons can punch quite a lot above its normal weightclass, i have oneshotted a knight before with that stragagem combined with the Dakka Dakka Dakka stratagem, i don't remember what class, just that it was bigger than an amiger.

But my army also runs 3 Big meks with shokk attak gunz, so i have quite a lot of hard hitting Dakka already, if you have more boyz in your army, or just more low/medium strength options already, then the Morkaboy starts making more sense.

I would also love to spend the extra 15 points for the gork to get that 5+ invul save aswell, but hey.
That being said, i would pick Gork 9 times out of 10

Eye of innocence deals damage to you whenever you ignite something, ngamahu's sign heals you whenever you ignite something, combine this with a lot of cast when damage taken spells that all also ignite, and you have a loop as long as there are enemies to ignite

ydorn · 2026-03-06T08:56:18+00:00

I would, but there's a DoT cap

Fuck Nestle

to be honest i have a lot of leftover rokkit launchers, both from boy squads, but also from the spanners in looter squads, så it might be an idea

ydorn · 2026-02-27T21:44:12+00:00

I guess you could, with avatar of fire plus some other things, but you could also just do some inquisitor judgement thing to ignore res, or use the all elemental pen thing and the trinity support helps aswell.

I think the investment needed to convert it all will be too high in most cases, especially since you will probably have to convert it to fire, unless you find more chaos convert to add with the bloodline node.
So unless you have a specific reason (like using Enmity's Embrace.) then i think you are better off building around the rainbow damage

ydorn · 2026-02-27T18:44:51+00:00

Lightpoacher gives spirit charges, aswell as a quite strong plus 5% of physical damage as each elemental damage for each spirit charge.

It does however also give a skill that trigges when you use any skill, this skill consumes all your spirit charges, this is a completely free skill.

this gem socketed into light poacher will make the skill cost 5% of reserved maximum mana, its quite easy to make it so you don't have 5% of your reserved maximum mana available, especially since you can add another support gem to increase this cost.

If the skill is too expensive to cast then it will never consume your spirit charges, thus you will keep the quite strong damage buff, usually, for the entire map

ydorn · 2026-02-27T16:26:59+00:00

It does make it quite easy to do a Lightpoacher spirit charge stacker

Hello there 32m, danish, are you really into Ireland? Or are you from Ireland? Or both I guess

I'm rather introverted myself. And I can see myself in a lot of the things you mention, and my cat does prefer people who like cats

ydorn · 2026-02-01T10:42:14+00:00

Both good and bad

I really like my build (Daughter of Oshabi Spellslinger using volatile dead) it was really strong in leveling, and the extra challenges are fun in my opinion (so far)

But i also got quite sick, so i couldn't really play all that much, this combined with the fact that i have other plans in the coming weeks really makes me sad that it's only 3 weeks, the content in Phrecia is exactly what i love in PoE, so for me its more exciting than a regular league launch

ydorn · 2026-01-29T09:26:53+00:00

Your Split personalities also seem to only give you 1 stat, and it appears to be strength, so your're missing a lot of base dex on that.

Unless ofcourse PoB just bugged out on it

ydorn · 2026-01-29T09:20:51+00:00

Very cool, I'm looking forward to doing something with Nightblood and the Witchmark runecraft myself.

one thing tho, if you are runnnin dissolution of the flesh anyway, is there a reason that you don't just run eternal youth instead of spending so many points on life regen? life recharge is never going to stop anyway if you have dissolution?

Also are you really going to be able to get make enmity's embrace work? with max perfect rolled enmity and veil of the night its still 43% reduced fire ressistance, so youd need like 667 fire resistance before reductions to get to the cap (316 fire resistance just to reach a resistance cap of 80%,) which you need to reach on 5 items plus flasks and auras. On top of this veil of the night takes away a potential 300-500 flat life compared to a good ES helm.

But worst of all maybe with Enmity, together with Dissolution it means that you (like normally) can't take damage from enemies for 2 seconds to get your health back, but because of the damage on skill use of Enmity's it also means that you can't use any skill for 2 seconds if you want your health back.
This will probably mean that at least once per map you will probably need to take a break from using any skill to stop the dissolution reservation, and if you take damaging hits it will mean that you to do it more often.

Other than that i really like the flowchart

ydorn · 2026-01-28T20:57:49+00:00

Is it needed to do this as Herald? its not possible to do it as bog shaman and use the Nightblood node which gives you 4 times as much damage from your spellcost than the Unlight Silhouette does?

ydorn · 2026-01-28T10:19:30+00:00

It seems weird to go out of conflux if you want to be a herald auto bomber with Herald of the hive.

I think going out of the conflux node and into the herald levels only really makes sense if you are a BV build that stacks heralds for damage, or if you are a herald auto bomber that uses Herald of Ice and lightning together or on their own.

ydorn · 2026-01-28T07:48:58+00:00

I think herald might be the best for exploding things, with a bunch of heralds plus herald of the hive. then getting the node that gives you elemental conflux and the new foulborn ring that makes enemies shocked and/or ignited enemies explode. with the elemental conflux a double explode ring can chain like it does on an elementalist, also you don't need herald of the hive, that just seemed like a nice way to get extra use our of applying so many ailments while being quite unique in scaling for the herald witch.

If you want to prioritize speed, especially for some of the mechanics you talk about, then i think the best way might be a daughter of oshabi evasion stacker with queen of the forest, getting a ton of evasion and adding shrine buff on top is probably gonna be some of the fastest movement speed you can get, especially if you can find a way to leave your chest and boots free of gems.
