Finally done with my Bonegrinder Giant (model from Mantic Games). Really happy with the way he came out. But....

What are your experiences running a Bonegrinder in your games? Will he just be shot to pieces, or does he actually accomplish anything other than making sure the enemies cannons, magic missiles, bolt throwers aren't shooting at anything else.

Really hoping for him to do well - the attack chart he comes with is imo out of this world funny and characterful.

Okay... Let me run this by you all: So if I run a 6*2 unit of (savage)Orcs with "furious charge" "frenzy" and "throwing spears", they would get 3 attacks each right on the turn they charge, AND the second rank are also getting 3 attacks, the turn they charge?

That's 36 attacks (37 if we put in a champion) - or is there something I'm missing completely here? Does the second rank only get one attack - even though the rules for throwing spears are in play? Thereby we are down to 24 attacks (25 with Champion) - which is the same we get with extra hand weapons - so why would we ever choose throwing spears?

Anyway - this is a serious threat to basically any infantry unit in the game - especially with "choppas" special rule. All this with "warpaint" and "big stabbas"(D3 impact hits) for just 108 points. It's the best bargain in the game imo.

Initiative 3... and countercharge special rule. What to do?

Having initiative 3 on the boarboys is really punishing, as literally all (well almost all- certainly feels like it anyways😉)other cavalry worth anything are initiative 4 or even 5 (Looking at those nifty Dragon Princes!).

This means that even if we get our countercharge of or are countercharged back, we strike last instead of the same time. Not a good position for small cavalry unit to be in.

I've certainly fallen in this trap several times, with terrible losses to the Boars before they can do anything.

So how to solve this - do we just pick our targets and try to stay away from Demigriffs, Dragon Princes, wood elves etc etc, or do you guys have any good advice or solution to this problem?

Fire away boys!💥💥👍👍

I have this wonderful unit of 20 Squigs with 4 handlers, and I really really want to play them, as they are just soooo characterfull for the Night Goblin army.

But how do I make them work? With only one wound each, toughness 3 and zero armour save, they die if somebody even looks their way. Used them once I a 2000 point battle - got flanked and killed. Squigs gone wild rule didn't do much.

So advice and experience stories needed here fellow Greenskins - have you had any success with these beautiful critters?
