Apologies if I already answered some of these but I felt like I missed some or at least didn’t give the answers and posts the proper focus they needed.

 

In case I missed anything, some Page 4 recaps:

I will not forget Moonclan grots @woldenspoons 😉

Yeah Im well passed tournaments at this stage. Unless it’s a small friendly local thing that isn’t too competitive, but I don’t think that is how things are trending these days.

 

The Third War for Armageddon in White Dwarf was around the same time as Mordheim. I have feelings of Nostalgia for it. I might revisit it too. I have plenty of Orcs to paint up after all.

 

Regarding picking up the box of Ironjawz, yes. They should have rules, I think. They might be last edition’s ‘Warscroll’ (unit rules/card etc) on the insturctions themselves. If you click on the product no the GW webstore there is a tab beside it for the rules download too 😉 Yeah you could then press gang it all together into a Grand Alliance Destruction army. You could even add in some Night Goblins (now their own renamed faction of Moonclan Grotz) and Savage Orcs (ln the same fashion as Moonclan only called ‘Bonesplitterz’) for good measure. Slaanesh has rules for the faction overall in the General’s Handbook but has got nothing new like Nurgle, Khorne and Tzeentch have since AoS launched sadly.

 

Also, yes you can do exactly as you want if you want to continue with a pure Ironjawz force. You can also ally in some other destruction forces without losing the stuff in the Ironjawz book. How to do so is outlined under ‘Alliances’ in the General’s Handbook 2018 (at least I believe so, It was in last year’s one).

 

It’s the exact same with Dwarves, Kharadron Overlords, Empire (Freeguild now), Daughters of Khaine, Idoneth Deepkin and so on: all under the Grand Alliance Order Banner. Allinces and focussed factions might not overlap well though. If you want to take Idoneth and keep their bonuses with allies, you can’t include Dwarves. You can still mix the two, but it would have to be as a mixed Grand Alliance Order army and not an Idoneth Deepkin army with dwarf allies’

 

25 points for the basing, 25 for the basecoats on all the historicals as well as the explanation. That’s a lot of minis. Wish I could drop 200 pounds sterling on a project in one go!

I’ll check out the music when I can.

 

 

@biggabum

 

I think it is referred to as a demi company now, i.e. half the company ish as you describe.

Thanks for the compliments. I think the bright flayed skin banner makes it as you describe. Didn’t intend to impress you that much!

 

A Murder of Mother In-Laws?

 

Ill check the music out when I can
