WizardOne Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I have exactly three BSG models. They are: a Pulger, Sergeant Hok, and a PPP Purple Worm. I started playing with the Army Creator (mostly just to start a ' what-models-do-I-have? ' list) then I started looking at the other items in the army (that I don't have) and wondering what I could proxy. I found that I might have a 500 point army. Blood Stone Gnomes - 501 points Troop A Herald of Blood (Proxy: Reaper Stone, Clay or Crystal Golem) Book of Tactics Troop B Charnel Grub (Proxy: Reaper Roper) Necklace of Worm Teeth Troop C Pulger Spike, Hok Sergeant Armor of Courage Troop D Great Worm (PPP version) I bet it isn't legal some way or another. Didn't have the book by the computer to refer to. I wonder what else I should add? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbdog Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 The main issue with this list is that your sergeant Spike requires 4 soldiers in his troop. Then a minor thing is that the grub being a monster cannot take equipment. So, swap out the grub's necklace for a few more soldiers in troop C and you will indeed have a 500 point list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbdog Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Here is a list I am thikning about playing. It looks like a lot of fun as long as I dont face a shooter heavy army, as this list is not the fastest list I have ever created.... Bloodstone - 999 points Troop 1 Herald of Blood Scragger x 3 Pulger Troop 2 Naklak Lesser Bloodstone Golem Scragger x 3 Hok x 5 Troop 3 Naklak Lesser Bloodstone Golem Scragger x 3 Hok x 5 Troop 4 Great Worm Troop 5 Greater Bloodstone Golem Extras Luck Stone Totem of Battle The concept behind this list is simply force the opponents to take defensive swings against the scraggers, and then take advantage of the extra swing that spiked gives me when people are attacking my hoks. The battle totem brings all of their MAVs up enough to think that it could work. Add in support bonuses on offense and it makes those little buggers much more formidible than at first glance. Use the worm to go attack headliners or backside casters and such. Use the golems to curse away... Makes my soldiers low DV not seem so low when they are cursed (and bludgeoned from the hoks too). Try to see if I can get a successful explosion out of the Herald. Always fun to have him go out with a big bang. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbdog Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Just thinking crazy but fun builds and hadn't seen anyone post in BSG for a while so here goes : Bloodstone - 998 points Troop 1 Herald of Blood Troop 2 Naklak Kulgurk the Cruel Stone Zealot x 3 Troop 3 Naklak Stone Zealot x 3 Troop 4 Spike, Hok Sergeant Scragger x 2 Hok x 2 Troop 5 Spike, Hok Sergeant Scragger x 2 Pulger x 2 Troop 6 Great Worm Troop 7 Great Worm Troop 8 Great Worm Troop 9 Great Worm Troop 10 Great Worm --------------------------- 10 troops 25 models (47 DTs) The list, obviously, is built around the underground heat seeking rush attack missile worms. Burrow, rush across the board, pop up and gobble something. Rinse repeat. When someone swarms a worm, try and catch them in a Blood Net spell. With all this chaos going on, saunter up the Herald and lay waste. When the Herald finally does go down, make sure it happens in a well populated area and don't forget about his Warlord Ability. Scraggers and Hoks are simply worm bait. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye_Jake Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I was thinking about giving my Hok Sgt a Bloodstone Weapon (thus giving him Life Seize). Opinions on if this is a complete waste considering that he is a 1 DT model..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbdog Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Well, the good thing is, its only 10 points so it might be worth it to see how it goes. Just dont try going after a DV 13 model with him. Focus on the 2 track lower soldiers. Kill one of them and its affectively a tough 3 roll for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakandara Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Tough call. Consider the following: The weapon makes him effectively cost 34 points. For 4 more points, you can instead take Calcerax, a 2 DT model that is DV 11 on first track, has a better MAV, and has First Strike. ~v Edited May 6, 2011 by Shakandara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbdog Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Sure.... go ahead and compare it to other options... just be that way... I stayed inside the box and answered the question as asked. Maybe he already has Calcerax.. or maybe he doesnt have those 4 extra points... he he he 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakandara Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Sure.... go ahead and compare it to other options... just be that way... I stayed inside the box and answered the question as asked. Maybe he already has Calcerax.. or maybe he doesnt have those 4 extra points... And instead of answering, I provided food for thought. Blame the teacher in me for that. Also, Chalcerax is non-unique. :p ~v 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castlebuilder Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 The Herald of Blood is in the Previews Section! Wooohoooooo! Can't wait to get that one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbdog Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 So, for whatever reason I was in the mood to try building a list for fun that was all models on large bases or bigger. I think I am gonna do it with a few different factions. Anyways, here is an interesting idea with the dementeds I think. Troop 1 Herald of Blood Necklace of Worm Teeth Lesser Bloodstone Golem Troop 2 Bata, Lancer Captain Glaktu, Lancer Champion Bloodstone Weapon Beetle Rider Lancer x 3 Troop 3 Bata, Lancer Captain Beetle Rider Lancer x 3 Troop 4 Great Worm Troop 5 Great Worm Troop 6 Great Worm Equipment Luck Stone ---------------------------------------------- 6 troops - 14 models (40 DTs) Lots of speedy borrowering heat seeking missiles combined with poisoned beetles and exploding warlords... What could be more fun? Sure, there is no magic or ranged, but hey, who am I to argue with a fun list? Obvious weakness is model count. But, there are enough tactical options that it should help against that problem a little. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuaslater Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I can't resist the Siren's call of these evil lil' Gnomes. I'm swinging a big trade with Noble Knight, and should have enough to grab some of these guys. I am aiming to get the Beetle Rider Captain, Champion, and maybe eight of the Beetle Riders!! That's a large chunk of points. Any advice on building a force with this as the core? I don't even have the Savage North book yet, so please be patient with me. Assuming I pull off the trade, I'll need enough points to go to 1100, as that's our number for some reason!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokingwreckage Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Yeah those gnomes are calling my name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakandara Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 You need a golem or two (any of the 3 - the Herald, Lesser, or Greater), and I love the pinners. Something along the lines of: Bloodstone - 1000 points Troop 1 Kordtok the Gutter Pinner x 3 Guard x 3 Tunnel Knight x 3 Scragger x 3 Troop 2 Bata, Lancer Captain Szerda, Priestess of the Stone Beetle Rider Lancer x 7 Troop 3 Herald of Blood Stone Zealot x 6 ~v 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
