The new edition of Warcry is bringing a host of changes to fighter profiles and warband abilities as we get ready to enter the Gnarlwood. Yesterday we shared a whole bunch of new rules for hundreds of warriors fighting for the Grand Alliance of Order, and today it’s the turn of the Harbingers of Destruction.
Ranging from brutal Ironjawz to kunnin’ Gloomspite Gitz, this Grand Alliance boasts a number of warbands with which to conquer the deadly forests of Ghur. Having taken a look at the changes to the Thunderstrike Stormcast yesterday, we’re now examining their most recent rivals, the Kruleboyz.
One of the big changes that the Heart of Ghur launch box brings in its wake is the addition of Reactions, allowing you to respond during an enemy fighter’s activation. Since the Kruleboyz are sneaky lads, they can ambush their foes in a Kunnin’ Trap.
Lay some particularly impressive traps by congregating your fighters around objectives and using this Reaction to give your most lethal fighters a bonus attack – the long reach of a Gutrippa’s wicked stikka or Hobgrot’s scrap-grenade make them perfect for springing from the mists.
Speaking of lethal fighters, the Killaboss on Great Gnashtoof has undergone some changes for the new edition of Warcry. Since he’s so ded fast, ded ‘ard, and ded killy, he’s going up in points.
85 points may seem like a steep increase, even with an extra attack and extra damage – but you can instantly recoup 40 of them when you add an updated Swampcalla Shaman* into your warband.
Every warband in the Grand Alliance of Destruction has undergone a similar rebalancing act, and they’ve each earned themselves a new Reaction for their journey into the Gnarlwood.
Download your updated rules here, featuring fighters, Monsters, and Thralls. To ensure you get the best experience from your games, this is a large file – so we recommend you download it over wi-fi.
Now you’ve got your rules, start planning out your next warband! Don’t forget that you can pre-order the Heart of Ghur launch box for Warcry, and come back tomorrow when we’ll have the rules for warbands fighting for Grand Alliance Death.
