What would be a safe unit to buy for starting Sons of Behemat?

Hey everyone,

I’m thinking about starting a Sons of Behemat army, especially with the new Battletome and the new units coming soon.

Since I’m basically starting from scratch, I was wondering:

Is there any unit/model that would be considered a “safe call” to buy right now? Something that is very likely to remain useful in the new Battletome and that I’ll probably want in a 2,000-point army anyway.

Would something like a Mega-Gargant, King Brodd, Mancrusher Gargants etc. be a safe choice, or would you guys recommend waiting for the new Battletome?

Thanks! StompStompStomp

The third Mega‑Gargant, for Idoneth Deepkin.

My third Gargant was supposed to become a mercenary for the “Idoneth” faction, and the main challenging aspect, apart from choosing the model, was “What kind of armor should a sea giant have?” I gathered a couple of references, stocked up on an STL from Mezgike, and got to work. I decided that perhaps “Gargant — Kraken Eater” was already quite old, and a cult had already formed around it. I chose the colors based on the color wheel: yellow — as a play on the character “Hastur”; orange + red for the crab’s shell (this would best reflect the marine theme); and blue for the skin color — I borrowed the idea from the Sea Giants in D&D. It turned out interesting, and I like it. There are still a lot of factions left, and I’m still thinking about which factions the next Mega‑Gargants will serve; ideally, I want to have 9 Gargants in their “Brotherhood”.

What's ya'll ideas for new Sons of Behemat stuff in the far future of 5th edition?????

I have multiple ideas.

How about a Gargent boss for the Boss-stompers/Rock-hurlers? It would give us cheaper heroes to have. Plus, players could play just a list of regular Gargents, lol.

Now... for two new Ghyrochs (the animals in the picture). So this is an amazing shift for SoB. But it is an interesting one. So... as a bold idea, how about Boss-stompers/Rock-hurlers riding mounts? I mean, every army gotta have SOME form of cavalry, right? So it would be interesting to see where this new stuff goes in the far future.

For my final idea, but before I start. This idea probably won't happen, considering how big the model would have to be. But.... I wanna see a Mega-Mega Gargent. I wanna see a Gargent bigger than our Mega-Gargents. I don't care if it would have to be another named character, but no matter what if we actually get a Mega-Mega Gargent. Because don't Gargents get bigger and bigger each day? So it'll bound to happen at some point. 💔🙏

Ma Maegran, My Migraine?

Anyone think Ma Maegran is a play on "My Migraine"?

She looks like she hasn't slept... ever.

Being a priest, maybe she hears the voices and gets headaches. Pure speculation, but im calling it. You heard it here first folks.

Long time ago I started this kit bash, think I now need to finish (at least I might be able to get a better head - was never happy with this )

When to expect the new releases?

Hi guys, i'm a bit curious. When they revealed the ogor mawtribe refresh most of the sub expected a few months but it ended up releasing very fast. Do we expect the new models and the battletome to come out in a few weeks too? I'm starting a path of flory campaign with some friends and i'd love to get my hands on the battletome to get the anvil of apotheosis rules for the sons.

Possible size for new boss-stompers.

Are the Sons a Dying Race?

Once near-gods but thwarted by Sigmar, the Sons may be a "dying race" in AoS. Their numbers down, inbreeding up, and a retreat to alcohol and hedonism instead of the honour and nobility of their forefathers.

What do you think about this lore?

The Start of Something Big

Local game store has what it calls a "rage quit" section that folks come and sell sprus, built models, and even painted ones.

So scored me some big boys. Defenitly want to get paint stripped off of them best I can. Was able to remove the previous owners green stuff work on the kraken eater and their King Brodd. Unfortunately it does leave me down one model not having a proper head anymore as it didnt have all of Brodds parts. But, saving up for a kit and will have the spares needed.

What’s the best 1,000-point Sons of Behemat list for 2v2 AoS?

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m going to be playing a 2v2 Age of Sigmar game, and I can only bring 1,000 points of Sons of Behemat.

What do you think would be the best/most competitive 1,000-point SoB list for a 2v2?

Do you think two Mega-Gargants is the way to go, or would it be better to take a Mega-Gargant alongside some smaller Gargants?

Also, what would you recommend depending on what my teammate is playing?

Any advice on lists, tactics or which Mega-Gargants work best together would be really appreciated! 🦶
