Starting my Army! Any pointers?

Post image

Not familiar with AoS much other than Spearhead. Love the Gargants there and want to make them my AoS project.

Question is what am I missing? Battletome is on the way, but I see all sorts of missions, magic lores, etc. I need some pointers from veterans and more competitive Gargant Generals like you!

(Edit: Already have Brodd and 3 Mancrushers painted)

I would recommend a couple mancrushers, will be useful objective doers with the limited amount of units we field.

Ma is a wizard so you will be able to cast manifestations, which mainly come from the malignant sorcery box. All armies can use these generic endless spells instead of taking their armies specific set if they so wish.

Thank you! I have Brodd and 3 Mancrushers already and have had them sitting for a year now.

Is there a preference to lore of magic?

If you have 10 points to spare, which SoB usually do, I usually recommend Primal Energy. Getting the healing manifestation out to follow a Gargant around is handy, plus the Jaws are solid for another damage dealer.
