These Warscrolls Show How Dangerous the Kruleboyz Are at All Ranges

AoS OrrukRules Jul27 Orruk FactionHeader

Wicked things are emerging from the swamps of the Mortal Realms as the Orruk Warclans battletome goes up for pre-order this weekend. This brilliant book is packed with rules for greenskins of all three flavours – brutal, kunnin’, and wild – and it’s accompanied by two new miniatures, the imposing Breaka-boss on Mirebrute Troggoth and the primitive but effective Beast-skewer Killbow.

Their fantastic damage potential makes both units excellent additions to a Kruleboyz army, so let’s take a look at their warscrolls for all the juicy details.

Breaka-boss on Mirebrute Troggoth

This deadly duo combines the cunning of a Kruleboyz boss with the primal strength of a Mirebrute Troggoth, the smellier cousin of the

that the

often coerce into battle.

Just like their cave-dwelling counterparts, these troggoths have preternaturally fast metabolisms that allow them to regenerate wounds at an alarming rate.

Breaka-bosses take advantage of this when riding them into battle, goading them by yanking at their crude harnesses. This causes the troggoth to fly into a blind rage, swinging hits club and fists at anything unlucky enough to be in front of it. 

Take a look at what this duo are bringing to the tabletop.

OrrukWarscrolls Sep09 MirebruteWarscrollThanks to the Breaka-harness ability, you can inflict D3 wounds to your Mirebrute Troggoth, sending it into a blind rage, with each wound giving you two extra attacks with its iron-bound club on top of the four it already gets.

At -2 Rend, and an immense 3 Damage, a rampaging Mirebrute is no laughing matter. Plus, the troggoth can regenerate D3 wounds a turn, meaning this brute is going to stick around.

While the Troggoth is no slouch in combat, it isn’t the fastest creature around. Kunnin’ bosses will want to take advantage of the Supa Sneaky command trait.

Covertly shift this hulk into an ambush position, then splat your enemies with those clubs. Given the troggoth’s bulk, Mork would be proud.

Beast-skewer Killbow

The Kruleboyz are well known for using their menageries of beasts in battle, like the Sludgeraker and Marshcrawla Sloggoth. They’re also experts at killing giant Monsters, and the Beast-skewer Killbow is their most effective ranged weapon.

This crude but potent ballista fires huge bolts specially designed to pierce the tough hides of giant creatures. With its Skewered rule, the bigger your target, the more wounds this vicious weapon inflicts. Get a load of these stats.

The already impressive range and reliability of the Killbow pairs well with the Big Yellers Warclan ability, netting you a tasty extra 3” range, as well as a reroll should you fail to hit.

If your opponent has any threats hiding behind a pesky ward save, why not strip them of that safety net with Nasty Hex? Now you can ensure your savage bolts don’t find their impact blunted.

The kit also features a crew of grots for reloading and general maintenance, so the orruk operator can focus on making those lethal aimed shots.
