bonejack army viable?

[destuctir]

i was wondering do you think an army with only deathjack and then just bonejacks (and some units and solos of cousre) would work since i like the little critters and i love the deathjack so i wanted an army with the usual good units and solos (which i dont know) and then just bonejacks everywere and deathjack to be a real pain. i like the whole idea of hundreds of jacks with spray attacks and what not moving around wth arc nodes so that i can sneakily put like 4 warjacks inplace to fire of some spells into peoples rears and make caster runs etc etc while the rest and just being pests.

so what do you think. deathjack and bonejack army viable?

[Drzombieface]

Yeah, you can play a bonejack army.


Viable? Probably not. Bonejacks aren't gunbunnies. But doable? Sure.

[ZombieWar]

Morty could do some funky things with an army of scavengers and helldivers but i dont know if you could actually call it good.

[Drzombieface]

A Bonejack heavy army is basically screwed if you go against a list that has a lot of infantry or a lot of heavy jacks.




Which means you're boned (seewhatididthere?) against the majority of armies.

just checking quickly how much is the skarlock thrall? got told i should get him to add to my battle group but i was wondering if that put me above 15 points (easy when we have such a huge battle group 14 points for 50 bucks! )

Skarlock is 2 points. But if you're looking into a bonejack list, use mortenebra (Who comes with her own skarlock)

I like playing the Coven with about 4 deathrippers and the DJ. I find that opponents are more hesitant to tie up the DJ's bodyguard arcnodes if they've got pow13 sustained attacks.

I've run a very successful army with 3 Helldivers, 2 Scavengers, and 2 Stalkers with Mortenebra. I did tune it down to 2 Helldivers later but in 50 points it looked like this.

Mortenebra + Derilyss
2x Helldiver
2x Stalker
2x Scavenger
2x Harrower
2x Sirens

Points left over as well...

You can also consider the Denny 1 theme list. You get a free bonejack and if you take defilers, their sprays can kill swarms of infantry and Denny can Venom them as well. Its one of the best ways to play with a lot of bonejacks.

Well that's certainly debatable. The list is limited, pDenny doesn't really have the Focus to run all of them well, and unless it's Stalker spam you'll have a very low number of attacks.

Every Stalker has a Warwitch to power it if needed and the list is T4 so the Seethers are all AD and you have a better chance at winning the first turn. Edited: It was legal with a fifth Siren.

Hilariously weird list that should give some people headaches.

Almost every Stalker has a Warwitch to power it if needed and the list is T4 so the Seethers are all AD and you have a better chance at winning the first turn.

That Army's legal. You can take the Seethers at tier 1 thus upping the FA of sirens to 5, allowing you to take them to achieve tier two. The Stalkers will allow you to reach tier 3 and you will automatically have tier 4 because of the Seethers you already took.

Denny doesn't need to spend focus to make a spray effective when something has -4 def & arm.

Its not how I like to play Denny 1, but it can be good and its one option to viably play with a lot of bonejacks. But then again, Denny 1 can make almost anything good. lol

pSkarre with 4 (or more) Helldivers... "I said what what, in the !

Also Stalkers work well.

In our last modified journeyman league, i tried running the witch coven with just bonejacks........it was amusing as all hell. stalkers with a 36" control area is freaking funny stuff. i stopped after 25 points though, as it got kond of boring.......i just sat coven back, ran everything up, and when able to moved in, and spell assassinated every time.

[Gamingdevil]

spell assassinated every time.

What kept your opponent from camping focus when it got predictable?? That POW12 isn't going to hurt anyone, even boosted.

Agreed, Spell Assassination for Coven is a backup endgame, (for me) army delivery is the primary win condition.

[Cassiaus]

I play pDenny tier three with some success, heres my advice.
1.you have one way to win, assassination.don't imagine you'll beast your buddy into submission.
2.come to every game with a plan. make him react to you, not you to him. Map out your assassination and sick to it.
3. Slam. Don't get locked with hvys.
combo that has worked for me most is to get a point of damage on the caster by what ever means. Then pDenny and scarlock both cast ghost walk on scavengers and fly them in. double charge with finisher and boosted usually does it.

[ZombieWar]

stalkers have arcane assassin, those focus points dont do jack.

[Cassiaus]

I use two pistol wraiths to shut down the hvys. Mc thralls to tarpit. I hardly kill anything by the end. Bonejack list doesn't do so hot on objective games as they trend towards attrition.

Literally everyone got worried about my stalkers creeping up on either side of them. And would spend everything they had getting rid of them. Also most people in the league were starting new factions, and I focused on expanding mine and trying new combos. And as our PG always says "boosted pow 12's can kill casters......"

Leaping stalkers are quite something else
