On the flip side to the powerful warlord traits, these artefacts are mostly underwhelming. They’re all once per battle use and are fairly narrow in their effect. The clear standout is Mork’s Eye Pebble , which grants a 5+ ward bubble wholly within 12” of the bearer for the duration of an enemy’s shooting phase. This would have been a heartbreaker in 2nd edition, but thankfully the generic options are strong enough that it isn’t really a big deal. Have you heard about that Amulet of Destiny ? It’s pretty good.
When I look at the Ironjawz side of the book, there’s a lot to like; when I look at Kruleboyz, there’s a lot to get excited about. When I look at my beloved Bonesplitterz, I just feel sad. There isn’t much hiding in this list, you are using your ranged units to decimate your opponent and force them to close with your army which has some beefy Mirebrute Troggoth’s. Then you use the unit of 20 Gutrippaz to either claim the center objectives or finish off any remaining forces that get too close to your ranged units. Skullbugz: So why are Slaves to Darkness and Ogors not dominating? Well I expect in the former’s case it’s because they have a real bad matchup against Gitz and Fyreslayers, who are capable of outlasting them and grinding them down with layered buffs on cheaper units. As for Ogors, they saw some pretty significant price hikes on their strongest build, and they likewise don’t have the sort of efficiency that these smaller armies have with layered buffs.Just like their cave-dwelling counterparts, these troggoths have preternaturally fast metabolisms that allow them to regenerate wounds at an alarming rate. For the uninitiated, this Mask is basically a mini game where you keep doing mortal wounds as long as you keep rolling 3+s, but if you roll a 1 or 2 you cop them instead (you’re no longer insta-slain). You keep going as long as you want, or until one unit dies – the ultimate staring contest. It costs you all of your spell casts, but it’s a great piece of fan service and a whole lot of fun. I’ve got loads of stories from running this thing over the years, believe it. The mainstay of any Kruleboyz tribe are the vicious and fearsome orruk fighters known as Gutrippaz. Whether you’re after reinforcements for an existing unit or you need a solid force of warriors with which to overwhelm your enemies, the 10-model Gutrippaz kit has you covered. Marshcrawla Sloggoth
Marshcrawla Sloggoth: 150 Points *Writers note, I had not realized this did not have the keyword Kruleboyz (guessing errors by GW) I would swap this out for a beast-skewer Killbow or you could drop the Killaboss with Stab Grot for Killaboss on Corpse-Rippa Vulcha. Sorry for the confusion! Hopefully GW will fix this in the errata / faq* The last two are a bit rough. In and Out Ladz is for a Kruleboyz General and requires half of your units survive. Not a guarantee in a pure Kruleboyz list as delicate as they can be (and some of their abilities rely on sacrificing stuff) and Show ’em Who’s Boss for Ironjawz generals requires the General kill 2 Heroes. Going to depend on how hero heavy your opponent’s list is, but in the right list, an easy shoe-in. Battle TacticsThe Wardokk is basically the same (yay!) but he lost the Priest keyword (boo!). His access to Curse was the main thing keeping the army afloat competitively, so it’s a body blow to lose that. I’d rather have lost his status as a Wizard, to give the army a range of tools, but that is not the flavour of this book unfortunately. Still your most efficient little dude though. Battleline Phil Marshall – Slaves to Darkness: Phil’s Cabalists list puts up another strong finish, with it’s 10 Chosen and 6 Varanguard faltering only against the eventual winner Mike Stewart
Pairing up with the Stormcast Eternals the Orruk Warclans book supplements the other half of the Dominion and Starter Set’s Kruleboyz (along with the other two flavors of green). There’s a lot to be excited about here, as Kruleboyz have grabbed a lot of people’s attention, especially new players. Hobgrot Slittaz got cheaper and remained otherwise unchanged. At their new price they start to creep into respectability in the sense that if you want a cheap screen this is your best option, but it’s not an exciting one. New Command Ability, though probably too risky unless you are really close to the next Waaagh! Power. You roll a die and if you beat the current battle round, you get WAAAGH! points equal to the current round. So if on round 2 you roll a 4, you get 2 points. What do those points do? Glad you asked. The Power of the Waaagh!

Our goal is to build upon and consolidate the great work already being done by other community members across various forums, reddit threads, and hobby blogs, and bring together a comprehensive library of all these useful Build Instruction booklets. Gutrippaz are here and have been updated slightly to reflect their multipart kit. You can now take musicians and standard bearers for +1 to charge and +1 to bravery respectively. You can swap their spears for hand weapons, but you won’t as they only gain +1 to wound and give up that vital 2” reach. player, 5-round Grand Tournament in Alpine, California US on February 25 2023. All the lists for this event can be found in Best Coast Pairings. The Showdown So Skulbugz don’t get any extra battleline options from this clan, and this rule is sadly just quite underwhelming. The reality is this is a narrow special rule that also has at best a 50/50 chance of even being active, which is absurd when you compare it to your other two options that are both more powerful and not dice dependent.
