Got it. Up at 12:05 am EST USA. Broke my rules. Preordered online. Did get it at a discount. Now sold out at the FLGS. Last time I checked, sold out in the UK, still available from GW in the US.
I love the idea of grenades as a way to use the extra APL!! Especially with smoke grenades if there's no one nearby to krack. Will definitely be trying that.
A team that kills everything in 2 hits using hammers is cool. you have a few ways outside of rolling 6's to get wreka points, which i think will help smooth the bad rolls
Like you say Phil, it’s so situational. Which, I think, is a major strength of the Team. Current meta, close combat all the way. But on a more open board, vs non-elite teams, skew shooty. But at least you have the option. You’re not locked into a specific list. Oh my, some significant list building customization opportunities.
I wonder if it would be possible to proxy Kommandos as the billy basic operatives? That said, I wouldn’t really mind getting a second box, really. Like the models anyway.
Honestly, no. I'm glad for the change of pace that is volkus and different kinds of teams being powerful and good. I've just been made aware from various people that I am viewing everything through the Lense of the Elites on Volkus meta so I am trying to make my content as relevant to as many people as possible.
I'm gonna try to get a 'Brutal & Cunning' box but I have to say this, when I woke up n watched CanItCrit video and he said 'your Bullgryn/Ogryn replace Ratlings 1 for 1' I laughed so hard because I literally bought a Bullgryn box the day the article on the community site spoiled you could have them on the team, cause it just seemed so funny, and to hear there dam well mandatory for the team just makes it all the funnier. As for the Orks, beautiful sculps and after I build them I plan to give the extra bitsnbobs to a friend who just got into 40k and loves the Orks in every aspect, might also get him a kommando box but the mail is having trouble near me and its hurting my local store's supply line :S.

There is an amazing Sub-Reddit called r/WarhammerInstructions that normally always have someone uploading the build instructions on release day.

Thanks loz, I have seen the instructions you DM'ed me, very informative.
Got it. Up at 12:05 am EST USA. Broke my rules. Preordered online. Did get it at a discount. Now sold out at the FLGS. Last time I checked, sold out in the UK, still available from GW in the US.
Hope you enjoy, I understand it is now sold out in the US.
I love the idea of grenades as a way to use the extra APL!! Especially with smoke grenades if there's no one nearby to krack. Will definitely be trying that.
Be careful with the smokes you have big bases it might not help as much as you think
I think it might be handy, you will have to drop the smoke grenade directly at your feet.
You can't go thru walls on gallowdark it still has that core rule where you can't go thro them no matter what.
Pg 66 in the core rules called gallowdark walls.
This seems like it's true, kind of sad :(
A team that kills everything in 2 hits using hammers is cool. you have a few ways outside of rolling 6's to get wreka points, which i think will help smooth the bad rolls
Yes indeed!
Pulsa seems great on into the dark. Put the marker on a critical hatch (or within an important hallway really) and watch the enemy despair.
Interesting, could be helpful.
Like you say Phil, it’s so situational. Which, I think, is a major strength of the Team. Current meta, close combat all the way. But on a more open board, vs non-elite teams, skew shooty. But at least you have the option. You’re not locked into a specific list. Oh my, some significant list building customization opportunities.
Yeah, they are looking rather cool :)
Krusha... push opponent out in the open where it could get shot?
Yes indeed, but you probably kill most things.
I'm sure there's a scenario where you push an Elite enemy off an objective and slip yourself into it for a nice points swing.
I wonder if it would be possible to proxy Kommandos as the billy basic operatives? That said, I wouldn’t really mind getting a second box, really. Like the models anyway.
I really use the word really, really too often, really.
A couple of the Kommandos would work perfectly, but generally I think it would be difficult.
‘Ere we go! ‘Ere we go! ‘Ere we go!
I ordered the box from my FLGS…and then ordered another set off eBay.
I'm looking at getting a second set off ebay while the getting is good.
It really does sound like you’d prefer to still be playing on Octarius right now.
Honestly, no. I'm glad for the change of pace that is volkus and different kinds of teams being powerful and good. I've just been made aware from various people that I am viewing everything through the Lense of the Elites on Volkus meta so I am trying to make my content as relevant to as many people as possible.
3:27 Are a lot of people really playing on BD?
Well, we have no idea, it did sell through though
I'm gonna try to get a 'Brutal & Cunning' box but I have to say this, when I woke up n watched CanItCrit video and he said
'your Bullgryn/Ogryn replace Ratlings 1 for 1' I laughed so hard because I literally bought a Bullgryn box the day the article
on the community site spoiled you could have them on the team, cause it just seemed so funny, and to hear there dam well
mandatory for the team just makes it all the funnier.
As for the Orks, beautiful sculps and after I build them I plan to give the extra bitsnbobs to a friend who just got into 40k and
loves the Orks in every aspect, might also get him a kommando box but the mail is having trouble near me and its hurting my
local store's supply line :S.
Yeah, the mail always struggles this time of year. I think it's funny that the ogryns are essentially mandatory.
