why do you think chimerae are bad? not saying that i dis/agree with you, just wondering why you said that.
cheers!
I just think there are better beasts in the army. It also our oppinion and everyone has thier favorites mine is the dragon ogre shaggoth.
I like the new breakdown format, getting full blooded Fantasy players to do it does add something – and should you just stick to the break down in this format who need a full blow week of all things of the “X” army
Good video, a few points I might disagree with: Chimerea, all god awful model comments stand up, its a terrible model. Trying to find an alternative, those I have found I like I have since found to be rather small, or overly large. However they are manoverable, they deliver a good punch – you forgot to mention thunderstomps (and indeed stomps for ogres/trolls/d.ogres) are idea for roasting chaff with a breath weapon and smashing small elite units. Also the terror can be devestating if you can land them in good spots. As @m1che3l says if you want pile into the… Read more »
All good points I wont disagree with that but its our oppinions we are talking about. I going to the throne of skulls next weekend and doubt I will se that list as I dont think in 2000 points 2deamon princes will work there is nothing to stop magic.
Completely, your not forced into a list – you can do solid characterful lists. The ‘local’/ group meta will determine what works and what doesn’t. Also it depends what you want from your army – something I feel with GW sometimes means compromising your chances of winning – but this book is actually a really solid release
Have fun, and good luck 🙂
Cheers it always good to se other opinions and other peoples ideas on how to use them. Is thieranything in the book u not to keen on or dont like?
In all honest my big problem was I felt new releases were uninspired in model terms. I cannot see myself getting much use out of either of the new big beasties – vortex beast will eat power dice I would rather save for wizards – nurgel lore attribute is amazing, and slaaneshi one is pretty good as well. The maulerfiend just strikes me as not standing upto the shaggoth as a choice, add in model dislike and that kills it. Personally I favour warrior heavy with chariot support – with home made characters – I would of like to of… Read more »
All i can say is FINIALLY !! a series of videos that has opinions that arnt just based on the tournement scene(much better than the Vampire Counts week of just use zombies = win any other tactic was just discarded and not disscused), I mean my favorite part of this video was the answer to the question about how would you use the chaos orges? a full unit of 18!! just brilliant thats how i imagine orges would fight run at you and hit you like a run away frieght train. I dont play orges or woc (yet, but i… Read more »
Even as a more experienced player who disagrees with some points they are fantastically put together videos and the whole not dismissing units is a real positive. I know I mention Ben Curry and his tournament focused podcast but its not a scene I want to be involved in currently. I find the discussions and tactics interesting though.I just view things from the view of players I face regularly. Beastmen are a tricky one @yraider1989 as now they are block infantry they have lost a lot of mobility and the infantry is not particularly hard hitting or durable. Not saying… Read more »
Beastmen difficult army in general but never over look the ambush rule as it makes your opponent react and I always find they make mistakes to capatlise on as 2blocks of 18 gors turn up behind them on on either flank.
I tried to laugh with the “two pounds per model, it is GW but its not that bad yet” but chaos knights are four pounds per model.
@dags & @m1cha3l – cheers for the help. I’m not in the tournement scene either so for me its all about just having good fun games, with out getting absolutly getting smashed of the table casue thats no fun.
And as for the many projects on the go yeah i think i fit that discription too – magpie syndrome is rather annoying but fun at the same time.
I actually like the chaos lord on the manitcore model and I thought of fielding a chimerae with him. I figure in my group dealing with two flying monsters would be a headache for people. I don’t mind the model really either.
Hellstriders are a joke, for the points.
The trolls section got me good … *blah*! I plan to use quite a number of them.
