Big fan of the Mawpack here. Fun to paint easy to assemble and are absolute beasts on the board. Their sheer size intimidates other players. Have played with and against them and it is fun either was. I am going to try to ally the Bloodpelt Hunter, who just got his WarCry stats in April, to get a little more range on attacks. Nice video.
They are loads of fun, and players who aren’t prepared for the smash often get intimidated and overwhelmed by them despite the warbands weaknesses. I am a huge fan of the Bloodpelt, although I haven’t tested them out in Mawpack. I can imagine she is a beast though!
I appreciate the recommendations for allies, got some vague conversions planned to make them all match nicely together :) Also I think the cave howler model is intended to be a woman, making her the only one in the whole destruction faction atm, since the old female ogor is no longer in production.
Love the idea behind adding Hrothgorn's Mantrappers for a brutally competitive list. Just wish getting my hands on that warband wasn't so expensive - lowest I'm seeing them run on eBay is about $80 average :/. Still, one-box only definitely seems great, especially in light of how much folks were talking down on the Gorgers when stats came out.
Hrothgorn is scalped to no end sadly and is a nightmare to get hold of. Sadly it really is a case of biting the bullet and buying him if you want him, which sucks beyond belief
While their toughness is a big draw back - it makes them a more balanced Elite Warband when going up against Swarming Warband e.g. Hunters of Huanchi because the swarm has some fight against the Ogres when compared to other Elite or high toughness warbands like Iron Golems or SCE
I often buy doubles of bespoke warbands, as i play narrative capaigns where the roster grows a lot. But, I am wondering if thats even remotely necessary here. Can you see any plausible listbuilding reasons to double up on this warband, barring campaign play?
Honestly, not really? You might want two clawbacks for some lists I guess. But this is very self contained and works wonderfully without needing any additional thing s
Trueblades are quite a challenge to play and Gorgers are incredibly powerful. My advice would be to focus on one at a time. All a Gorger to get in, then take it out with everything you can. Another tip would be to be constantly aware of their threat range. If you are within 11” they can move, charge, and attack. If you can straddle that 12” line and force them to commit to an engagement without being able to attack, you can then dogpile. Gorgers hit hard and are very fast but they are made of paper.
Hi, great video. I see that you add attack dice or damage to fighters profile… I find nowhere in the rules how to do that 😣 is it for a special type of play?
That is correct, but since they are Bladeborn they can be used in any Destruction Warband provided you take their Leader. In this case, that’s Hrothgorn. So you get the double whammy of cheap chaff AND a powerful ranged leader. Pretty sweet
