Re: The Book of Heavy Gruts

I'm just confused as to why these are rated B+, and the Knights of Weston are rated A. They are the same point cost, similar base stats (+1 move and -1 defense) and can bond with a champion much better than any of the human champions. When next to their champion vs. Knights next to Sir. Gilbert, their stats are the exact same. AND these guys have disengage, so they can slip through a hole in a screen and take out the more problematic units hiding in the back. I like these way more than the Knights.

Re: The Book of Heavy Gruts

Heavy Grunts are great even without chumpy. I have noticed the work well with Tornak and the Snow Swog Rider

Re: The Book of Heavy Gruts

I was trying to use these guys in a 600 point army and the best I think I can do is:

Heavies x5
Nerak
Grimnak
Raelin

But I'm thinking the heroes won't last long and I'll be left with a few squads of heavies with no bonding option. Should I be concerned?

Re: The Book of Heavy Gruts

That is a great army if you ask me. I have played heavies and they are great on their own. If you use them for most of the fighting and keep your heroes just as support you will do great. Bring Grimnak in for a chomp and then get your one attack with him. keep him fighting only one figure at a time along with his free chomp and your opponent will be wondering how he will ever win.

Re: The Book of Heavy Gruts

Id cut it down to 3 squads of heavies, and go for some ranged options too. 140 points of ranged, or 220 if you choose to drop Raelin, is a very nice and round army for the gruts.

Yep, I'd drop Nerak as well.

3xHeavies
Grimnak
Raelin
2xSwog riders
2xArrow gruts would keep the theme and give some range
Tornack(?)

Leaves some points over as well

Just when you thought it was all right, someone made it alright.

Good trades with - Porkins / xraine69 / mac122 (x2) / frylock / Ztimster (x2) and probably others I forgotten to mention...sorry.

Re: The Book of Heavy Gruts

Is three squads the sweet spot here? I'm trying to decide whether to trade away my fourth squad of heavies.

3 Squads is and isn't the sweet spot for these guys. Personally, I'd keep that 4th squad (unless you need the money or something like that). Heavies x4 can make a devastating impact on your opponents' demeanor in battle, and also give you a few more units to sacrifice/lose in combat (something that the Heavies can do quite nicely). Having 3 instead of 4 gives you 70 more points for Orc heroes, but the only one that helps is Nerak if you also want Tornak.

Heavies x4
Grimnak
Nerak

That's 450 right there, and its pretty devastating in my experience. A squad of Marro Warriors fleshes this build out with a fast ranged squad.

Heavies x3
Grimnak
Tornak
Nerak

That's 480 and in my hands it might not very effective. I can't say for you however. Marcu the 20 point wound soak would bring this guy up to 500, but even Wannok isn't that great (it would take 6 rounds to kill him. Very X.x if you ask me).

My customs.

SW Ohio Tourney - NHSD 550 points

4 squads is the sweet spot the majority of the time. Keep 'em.
