Intro
-
News: BCP launches AoS and a new payment gateway!
-
Jason talks about the fluff
-
During the Age of Myth the Ironjawz were a clan of Orruks that came together to kick ass and chew bubble gum. Too bad they don’t have any bubble gum
-
Prided themselves on fighting the toughest opponents they could find. Have great respect for Sigmar.
-
Known for wearing plate armor and being militaristic.
-
Really came into power during the Age of Chaos where the constant fighting caused them to become humongous due to their victories.
-
Their leader Gordrakk is said to have come from the fist of Gork (maybe Mork) directly after he punched a castle and the orruk emerged from the rubble.
-
With the arrival of the Stormcast Eternals, the Ironjawz have found a worthy foe and look forward to fighting them. The Stormcast Eternals have adopted a strategy to avoid them if at all possible or distract them with fighting others.
-
Mariana covers Battleplans pg.83 the book says there are 3 battle plans but it gives you the story so you can recreate 2 narrative battles as well
-Tornado of destruction
Salt the earth vandalism – The gorkamorka stomp
-*Across The World Chasm
Orks vs the sylvaneth. Zogbak the mega boss topples a tree and crosses the chasm to the living plains. He fights but the tree is broken and he and a handful of men are left on the living side.
-Headlong Onslaught
The boys just crash through an army’s middle line. Attempting to get the ¼ of the starting army or their general in “the end zone” Special rules around charging. Game is played on a cross table.
-*The growling gates
Narrative battle with the Stormcast Eternal. A great way to integrate named characters
-Dead Cunning
“Hey Sucker!” Ironjawz attempt to trick the defending army with a guessing game of odd and even dice. For each time the defenders are fooled, the boys get to pick a “cunnin’ trick”.
Winner is whoever controls the center objective.
