Which detachment should I run for tournament?

So, the list I have is the following.

Logan Attached to 10 wolfguard terminators

Wolf Guard Battle Leader Attached to 6 bladeguard vets

Wolf priest Attached to 10 blood claws

Wolfpriest Attached to 10 blood claws

10 grey hunters

X6 Wolf scouts

X6 Wolf scouts

Bjorn

Ballistus Dreadnought

Land Raider

I really want to run Veterans of the Fang, as I like the utility of splitting the grey hunters.

So, either saga of the great wolf, or saga of the Beastslayer as my other detachment.

I have 25pts spare for enhancements(so depending on the detachment I can add something extra).

Saga of the great wolf offers take and hold, which is nice. I am increasingly thinking the lethal hits from Beastslayer will be very valuable, but I'm not super keen to play purge, so I'd probably end up playing disruption (which i fell my list will have the capacity to do).

I don't want to change my list, so dropping Veterans for saga and song isn't an attractive option to me, as the grey hunters are not valuable unless they can split.

What do you folks think? Great Wolf and take and hold, or Beastslayer and disruption?

Which starter deck should I pick?

Just getting started in the game, and not sure which starter deck to pick. I don't really understand what all the decks play as, and I want it to be a decent launching point for expansion. I've unlocked some legendary cards already (included the picture) if that helps narrow it down.

Can you only liquify cards when you have 3 of them? It'd be nice to be able to liquify cards for crafts I'm not interested in playing.

Also, any general tips on where to focus my time going forward.

I also don't understand the purpose of the park, or what I'm supposed to do with that.

Thank you!

Converting Spiderfang army from AoS to old world.

Hello!

I have a spiderfang army in AoS which I'd like to see if it's possible to convert to old world (with limited buying of new models.

I have four araknarok spiders. Two with fingers (which I could turn into rock lobbers). One with a shaman (but I have two extra shaman on foot I could also put on additional araknorok.

Big boss on gigantic spider.

Three squads of 10 spider riders.

I found an army builder online, which let me build

Orcs and goblins.

Oddnob on araknarok

Oddnob on araknarok

3x 10 spider riders with spears, bows, light armour and fill command

Two rock lobbers in rare

Araknorok spider as rare choice.

This is roughly 2000pts. Is this legal? Is this an army which fits the game at all? I've never played old fantasy. Just this army doesn't really work in AoS anymore, and want to take advantage of the models I've already finished.

Thank you!

Saga of the Bold list.

With no cp cap, looking to take advantage of that with Saga of the Bold.

Combi-lt goes on middle objective and causes a ruckus with reactive move if folks get too close, or resurrection on the objective if they try and shoot him.

Grey Hunter split for actions and objective.

Part I'm most unsure of is the Speeder, but I'm not sure how to fill the points better.

Battleleader can get to a d3 thunderhammer. Skald world Priest helps generate additional cp with Bjorn.

Can generation and Saga of the Bold

I might have missed something, and all this is completely irrelevant.

Otherwise, I've not seen a clause where you can only gain 1 cp a turn.

So, with Saga of the Bold, could you take a character with Skjald enhancement and just be a little cp battery? Especially along with Bjorn?

Might make the detachment very interesting.

*EDIT autocorrect changed cp into can in the title, apologies for confusion.

Crackle profile picture?

Anyone see crackle player profiles before? My opponent had one in a game I played.

u/airycantalope — 4 months ago

Might be starting to hope now.

​

I felt pretty dismissive when folks started getting optimistic about the Saga of the Great Wolf detachment losing the clause on the one upgrade to allow terminator captains to join wolfguard terminators.

I am willing to say I might have been terribly wrong dud to this asterisk and I'm starting to breath in some of the copium now.

Been working on this collection slowly since the white dwarf article in 2021 featured the Wolfspear. I originally built the army to be a Vanguard Spearhead army of renoun in 9th edition, as the Wolfspear are known for being a phobos-heavy faction, and have been slowly been adding additional units since.

Painted to be part of the 4th Jarldom.

I just wanted to share!
