Yes, they are awesome, along with wolf chariot. The nomadic waaagh has very strong core choices.

Great comment. I have been sleeping on them

Also AI voice channel

Armies that excel in combined arms tactics typically have a wide array of unit choices, giving them the adaptability to face varied opponents. Bretonnia relies heavily on cavalry charging, which leave Bretonnia vulnerable when confronted by armies that are good at countering cavalry. Bretonnia is a one-trick pony army, there isn't much room for army composition adjustment. In contrast, armies with diversified unit compositions can adjust their strategies to suit different opponent strengths.

Hi, Im kinda disagree with dwarf Army. If you speak about collecting the army and minis available, yes 💯👍. Now in term of strategy and gameplay I think it's actually one army that need experience and not for beginners. I'll try to develop shortly, trying to be constructive. First and foremost, if you consider that old World is a game of movement, deployment and anticipating turns (and you should 😊) dwarves doesn't allow any errors as redeployment is impossible. Also make you an army that make you reactive/passive having to endure the game Meaning with a mistaken deployment or poor table reading, an enemy can easily ignore one part of your army or destroy an isolated unit poorly deployed. Dwarves are expensive units not allowing to loose resources without fair trade. -Secondly, if you considers rules (which you should not to choose your favorite army to play 😊), dwarves doesn't have cavalry that use to dictate who engages a fight and where. ( Charging in this game is big advantage with rules like first charge and the many bonus on initiative, spears str) -No big monsters that are so strong in this edition. There is others who ll say artillery is the answer, yes but we r not in 8th, artillery is nerf ( and balance imho comparing silly canon V8) Magic is also a strong asset, but dwarves have good way to resist. So ok on that. Just few ideas, many more could be said, don't think I'm saying dwarves are bad, they are quiet good and have some really good units like rangers, gyro , hammerers, but saying it's a beginner army. I doubt it. Ofc to conclude, I agree to disagree 😎

Discovering your channel today, nice content 👍💯 keep the good job

Thank you! Cheers!

Yeah, can also run troll hordes and all mounted nomadic waaagh as well.

@@AllOutWarAu yeah it’s one of the reasons I think the orc & goblins battalion isn’t very good for new players looking to get into the faction. It pushes people towards the hoard side of the army.

yeah, definitely one of the best beginner armies.

Well, easy to collect due to AoS range, easy to paint, also easy to paint a full army due to low model count, but not as easy to play as one might think. The big perk for Ogres is not the high wound count (can melt away quickly due to having almost no armour) or having a large number of Attacks (which won't hit jack due to WS3), it's the high movement value, and very important, making use of the ogre charge. If you lose the inpact hits due to being charged or any magic shenanigans, have fun trying to get any hits into enemy elite units with your WS3 and low AP values. Let me tell you, it is not fun. Not even a little 😂

As an ogre player since 6th edition, i agree that they're simple, but not necessarily easy. Sure, ogres are powerful in melee when charging, but ultimately they're very vulnerable with weak armor , low weapon skill and low initiative. You really need to master the movement phase and choosing your fights if you want to be successful with them and that's something that most beginners will struggle with. You don't have much room for mistakes

yeah, I have been playing many games with the mortuary cult, I really enjoy it. although I do miss the Necropolis knights and tomb king on a chariot.

The idea is not to kill the dragon but to drop its wounds so it becomes more manageable in combat. Some dragons with triple saves are obviously very difficult to deal with. So you might have to add in spell like plague of rust. There is no perfect solution to deal with an unkillable dragon, which is why it causes so much problem in the game atm.

I will do a tier list for the arcane journal soon, just testing out the list a bit more.

In the game, a 5-point model with a consistent 5+ hit rate and a 6+ regen save stands out as exceptional value. The essence of the game lies in optimising value exchange, where leveraging fewer points for greater impact is key to success. The ranking of units into tiers isn't solely based on their intrinsic quality. Rather, it's a reflection of the value they offer relative to their points cost. For example, the Greatbow Ushabtis, whose effectiveness is undeniable if not for their steep price of 49 points each. When writing army lists, I often face tough decisions, such as choosing between Necropolis Knights and Ushabti units. This decision-making process revolves around assessing which unit provides greater versatility and utility throughout the game, ultimately influencing my placement within tier rankings.

Did you ever even play any of the spells he mentioned...? Yeah PoR is pretty good, but itchy nuisance and gathering darkness are both arguably better, and wind blast is not even the best magic missile in the game

@@louisraphael1727 pffttttt sure it isn’t lol

Just wondering if you’ve actually played any Old world? Spell selection is very situational to both army list design and as a local meta picks. The video gives pretty good general information on HIS top five spells. For example, he explains phantasmagoria really well. Are they my top 5 spells, no, but then my list building and meta are most likely very different. It’s looking like he’s try to break or disrupt units before the combat phase, which is a viable thing in the Old World.

@@fiskcakes played for years of WHF and have 7 games under my belt of OW. I absolutely wiped a dude with a HellBlaster Volleygun with a Lvl4 Elementalism wizard

I believe the unit is still affected by the spell because it ends its movement within the range of effect. However, if you start your movement inside the bubble of effect and move out of it, then it is ok.

This is a hard to say rules wise. Kind of another gray area. For my reading, if you don't move you don't finish a move so you can avoid the spell by deciding not to move. Not moving feels like sufficient opportunity cost to avoid being affected by the spell considering the game revolves around movement and positioning. That said because the rules don't outline a "remains stationary" action, if someone were feeling particularly pedantic they could argue that all units are moved during remaining moves, and that they simply move 0" and therefore still count as "finishing a move". This falls apart pretty quickly when applied elsewhere though, for example all Missile units would always be at -1 for moving.

​@@Dre0oqThe rules mention "ending your movement" in tons of situations where it's clear that you can also not move. It's just the phrase they use to mean "the location of your unit at the end of the movement phase"

​@louisraphael1727 Can you provide an example? I get your meaning but it seems a strange reading to say you can end a move without having done so. Although I run into a lot of rules issues with American vs British English.

Yeah, the new arcane journal definitely bumps the trolls upwards, and with rerolling regeneration save, striking last has less significant impact and taking great weapon would be better.

It really depends on the type of infantry unit. A combat dragon can tear through a unit pretty fast, especially with its Thunderstomp attacks. If your unit falls back in good order, the dragon can move away. Unfortunately, it's not like the 8th edition of Warhammer Fantasy. Tying up a dragon with zombies doesn't really work anymore :(

Why would a Fly 10 dragon get stuck in combat with an M4 or M5 unit that can tie it up or kill it?

@@andrewbakescakes9684 it wouldn't, that's why dwarf needs to have enough ranged threat to force a dragon to get into combat.

@@AllOutWarAu - I think Dwarfs need another way to deal with Dragons. Cannons can't cut it this edition.

Please read my pinned comment where I elaborated a bit more, I think boar boy is bad in an o&g army because it is struck in the special category, special category is where I take units to handle other greater threats on the table. Boar boys are great in nomadic waaagh army as I have mentioned in my arcane journal video.

@@AllOutWarAu My apologies mate, Hard to convey tone over the internet, I meant it only in jest. Appreciate the content.

Even in special boar boyz are amazing. They’re like the best value shock cav in the game for the points.

@@Nubloot and as O&G can have enough good core troops choices to full the needed points, there are more than enough points in the elite slot to take the boar boys. I think they would be S-tier in core, but are still amazing good for their points, especially when they charge!

Yeah, it is only a 30 points item that gives a -1 WS bubble. So it can't be for all units. Lots of monsters are WS4, so you can lower it to 3, and your bestigors, minotaurs and dragon Ogres with great weapon can hit them on 3+ rerolling 1, instead of 4+. Can probably kill a monster in a single turn.

Yeah, a dragon is very hard to deal with, which is why there is one in almost every top table list. There is no optimal way to beat one. So unless you also take a dragon, we still have to think of ways to handle one in a game.

Pour a mug of Bugman's out for the Dwarven Mountain Holds. Worst book by far. Holy derp. Haven't seen Dwarves win outside of Beer and Pretzel League games.

@@andrewbakescakes9684 yeah, GW should have kept the dwarf's Warmachine to D6 wound like the chaos dwarf.

Put your trust in artillery

@@user-tc9sk4ei9y In Guns we trust

Congrats! I usually expect Dwarves to get super duper tabled every game.

How many artillery pieces did you bring?

@@andrewbakescakes9684 dwarves are strong imo

yeah, Chaos Dragon is a tough one. it comes with a good natural armour save and a ward save, it is very hard to kill.

Charging a chaos dragon does not help if it has Enchanting Aura.

@@AllOutWarAu A chaos dragon with Ogre Blade, enchanting aura and either Brazen collar or paymasters coin is only going to die if the playing using it is lazy or really bad. It is the alpha of this game by a long long shot.

dark elves are better slightly cheaper has a better breath attack and because the rider has a lower toughness you are getting more out of the dragon since they still end up at T6 you also get the 2+ save from the rider the star dragon is the strongest tho it just has a basic breath attack and hits late

@@poxous3854 yeah, it is definitely one of the strongest dragons, you have to weaken it with shooting and magic, very hard to kill in combat.

1x Great Bray Shaman and 4x Shamans with Viletide + Power scrolls coming right up

yeah, i like that too!

@@GVS86 A chaos will eat them all. See he is fly with the infernal puppet being held in a big block of CWs behind him. With the brazen collar you are -2 to cast and on 3d6 take the lowest. the dragon goes right for the wizards because you did not invest in combat and murders them. Now what?

@@poxous3854 This is the most common WoC list I've played against and probably the easiest dragon list to fight for Beastmen. Need 10's to cast with the Brazen Collar is still a below average difficulty cast with a level 4 or a level 2 with a power scroll. Odds are he'll be on a wound or two left, he'll get a charge on one of em since you can charge protect this many shamans and then you blow him up against next turn. Harpie rushing the CW block so IP is nullified. If the Chosen block is far back enough to not be Harpy engaged then it's 2 turns behind the dragon. If they ever tried to push the Chosen block to Vanguard then I would just laugh honestly. There is no better target in the game for Viletide than Chosen. If the Chaos Lord rolls toughness on GoG then I would do my best to not engage that turn of course and try to nuke the chosen block or reposition. Now what?

@@GVS86I think even its not too difficult to charge protect your shamans from dragons. You put him directly behind a block of infantry and the dragon can see him due to large target but the infantry is still blocking the charge
