Skragg and 'Gorger fun' list (2000 points)

original thread ↗

Now, this was more of a silly list that I worked out. I wouldn't use this in many games, really, since I think it might be a tad beardy, but I might playtest it soon against some mates for a laugh.

Lord:
Skragg--- 400

Heroes:
Butcher, Bangstick, dispel scroll--- 180
Butcher, Halfling Cookbook, dispel scroll--- 180

Core:
3x Bulls, standard, bellower---135
3x Bulls, standard, bellower---135
3x Ironguts, standard, bellower---174
3x Ironguts, standard, bellower--- 174
24x Gnoblars------ 48
24x Gnoblars------ 48

Special:
7x Gorgers--- 525

Total: 1999
fun, like you said :)

the problem with running 7 gorgers is that you start the game with over 500 points off the table and those 500 points can't get bonuses for flank, rear, can't crossfire, etc.

when it's smaller numbers (2-5 gorgers) this is more acceptable, but you'll find you have little left to smash face with running 7.

remember, between skragg and his gorger circus you're committing 925 points to magic/disruption phases, not counting your other butchers, and that means less than half to solid combat units :)

Thats what I thought, but then considered the amount of flank charges possible. Two Gorgers charging into a rear classes as a rear charge, so I thought it might certainly be an interesting way to play. Though, probably not particularly effective.
Though, the idea of looking at the opponent's face whenSkragg clatters into a unit and you get to play 7 gorgers right behind him? It might be something I'd like to see....  :)
if you do pkaytest that, get skragg in asap. if you can then i would love to see your opponets face when 7 gorgers come from behind him :)
I don't think much changes when your 18. The only things I can do is buy cigarettes, porn and if I get in trouble with the law I'm kinda screwed!

2 gorgers charging th rear do NOT count - you don't add the US together as they are 2 seperate units.

check out fantasyfreaks lsit and experiences with skragg (on this forum) - worth a read.

Thanks for the tips Wildcard!
I was thinking of using a four gorger list for serious play, actually, so this really IS worth a read...
