8th Edition Tactica Index

Hey team!

So the first forum I joined was the Lizardmen one, and they had this handy topic stickied, with links to good discussions or formal tactical articles. http://lustria-online.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=8681

I think its high time we had our own! So, if the mods see this as something of value, it'd be grand to get this stickied and I'll try to keep this up to date. I did a cursory search of appropriate topics, but there are still a lot of holes. Post links to appropriate topics and I'll slot that in!

The best tactica on redirecting tips and tricks I've found. It's written for High Elf Great Eagles, but the basic tactics are used by Terradons, Pistoliers and anything of the sort. It is definitely applicable to single Sabretusks http://www.ulthuan.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=33028

Vote for Sticky!

I'll see what I can dig up to add to the Tactica!

Intriguing!

For Army Builds, don't forget "Guthorde" or "Supa-Shooty" lists!

Vote for Sticky!

see this as being very helpful. will spend a fair bit of time this weekend looking it all over (i will get a life after the tournments over)

Have a freakin' Gnoblar!

This is a great idea, Bugman's Brewery has a similar stickied thread for each edition of the game, its always been the one (minor) thing this forum lacked IMHO. I'll see what I can add to it later tonight, but I'm heading off to play my Necron army now so no time. Have a gnoblar for doing this!

Great idea! Sticky for this!

Thanks for the support! Also, if you see a topic without a link, feel free to start up a thread! Once discussion carries on a bit and some decent information put forward, I'll add it to the main post. I expect I'll periodically do this as well, as I have time.

 

Gutstar topic added, thanks to Brainfreezer for starting the discussion!

I also found a formal Sabretusk tactica which is a good read, as well as a short discussion on how to kit out Firebellies.

I know a more disscussed topic that isn't up here, bulls vs. Ironguts

http://www.ogrestronghold.com/forum/index.php?topic=24247.0

This is one of the best saber tusk redirection explanations I've seen. Go down a bit in the page and grey Templar has some pictures that explain it perfectly!

as  my first army was dark elves, I used to frequent druchii.net a lot. they have a similar project, albeit huge; it's called "D.R.A.I.C.H." Got over there if you want to see it, it's a huge collection of tactical articles written by the community, you can actually "learn" how to play darkelves by reading there... I did :-).

Added tactics videos by Tryptic.

Would still like to get this stickied, please.

This is freaking amazing thanks for the hard work.

Really guys.... you aint see nothing yet.
There are so many more ways to use them.

I learnt alot in my beginning days as HE and Skaven player...
Check below 2 links and I guarantee you will have a hard time to get to sleep tonight... thinking over and over all ideas/ways to use your Gnobblars, Sabre Tusks, lone Ogre models & whole Ogre units as pawns in a chessgame.

Plus an extra oppurtunity to roam other sites for more "intel..."

Missed the Uthuan-link already given earlier,,,, but hey.. better double then nothing, right?

Yay sticky!

Stupid rat darts! Buddy of mine plays Vampires and Skaven. Rat darts and spirit swarms are my bane...

I think I'll periodically start up a new topic here and there to fill in the gaps. Thanks again for your contributions!

I've started seperate threads for the Stonehorn and the Thundertusk. Please share your ideas, and try to keep the boundaries in the threads. I don't want them to become a SvsT discussion, and would rather they be approached as if "You've decided to take a [Monster]. Here's what you should, and shouldn't, do."

Thanks!

Hi y'all,

I have noticed a lot of newer thread regarding "how do you field...".
Is there a need to update, expand or emphasize the presence the links collected here?

If anything I'd like to add some input to the "ARMY BUILDS" : )

The mainpage tactica is way out date also.

Hey moniker!
I hope you don't mind but I have written up a an ogre kingdoms ratings post with a buying guide (being expanded). I was wondering if you wouldn't mind adding a link to your Tactica?

Thank you

Done!

Thank you moniker, much appreciated!
