A small change for the fun of it!

original thread ↗

I spent a little time today going back through my old posts here on the forums - shaking my head at my old noob tactics and advice in a nostalgic kind of way - when I came across an old army list where I outlined something I haven't tried in a long time now - and the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to give it another go.  The change is only small from my tried and tested GT build, but I think I'll be trying this for a while now icon_smile

That's right, an inflated gnoblar unit icon_smile  I used to use a unit of 16 at one time - that way I could still have my 16 shots but hit on 4's rather than 5's - or go for 32 shots hitting on 5's.  I remembered how much fun this unit was to play with, but couldn't, in my more modern build, get all 16 back in - so its going up to 12 for now for testing.  This unit shold still be able to hide pretty well, but can also act as a better skirmish screen if required and give me more dice to roll on sharp stuff.

fear the wrath of the trappers!!! icon_smile

Other than that large unit of trappers, and extra yhetee block, it's a pretty standard Ogre list (which I know is unavoidable). But it looks solid.
I could drop the upgrades on the bulls to get up to 16 trappers.....
