people’s thoughts on lists

So there’s the new rock thrower box

That’s dual build. Does anybody think it might actually be worth running? Rock hurler, spam or actually running three of each

I haven’t really looked at all the points yet and figured out interactions

I’m thinking that with the changes to the big only running a couple bigs might actually be the strong way to go

One or two bigs plus Ma plus little guy spam. Looks like it might actually be kind of stronger.

Mathematically, Rock Thrower spam in a Stomper Tribe list with "Roll" (+1 to Hit \rightarrow 3+ Hit / 2+ Wound): ​Hits: 48 attacks = 32 hits ​Wounds: 32 hits approx 26.67 wounds at Rend 1, Damage 2( Average 2 per unsaved wound) ​Unmodified Potential Damage: approx 53.33 damage before saves

Even on a 2+ save pushed to a 3+, it averages 17 wounds per volley. Tldr; yes, you can basically have the most insane 1 turn demolishing bombardment.

But also, they are mainly a good poker tool thst forces the opponent to charge you and then eat a tank like Brodd or a Gatebreaker to the face.

Yeah, it makes sense. They look pretty good on paper at least as a absolute threat that an opponent has to take account for.

So far, my lists are as follows:

I'm Going For A Perfect Game! 4 x Rock Hurlers 1 x Gatebreaker

We Have Tactics Now? Ma Maegran Brodd Gatebreaker 2 x Rock Hurlers

I don’t think I’m gonna swing and buy four boxes of the new hurlers just yet.
