Howdy, just purchased Gorten and im looking for something to fill the ranks behind him with so to say.
Tried to make a fairly all round Rhulic list, how do you think this will work?

The Searforge Commission
- 4" Extra deployment zone

Gorten +7
- Grundback Gunner 3 pts
- Ghordson Driller 6 pts

Forge Guard 8 pts
- Leader & 9 Grunts

Forge Guard 8 pts
- Leader & 9 Grunts

Ogrun Assault Corps 6 pts
- Leader & 2 Grunts

Thor Steinhammer 2 pts
- Ghordson Avalacher 9 pts

35 pts

C&C is appreciated!

Welcome to Rhul!
It's good to see your plan on using lots of Forge Guard. In Searforge I run a lot of them too.
Much more value than High Shields in my opinion and even harder for your opponent to mitigate if you have many.
I like to field 2 min and a max unit.

I dare to say after some field testing: the OAC is a good unit even if a tad expensive. Although I don't think they're really made for Gorten.
He cannot buff them in any way and they become much more effective with any kind of buff. Hence they're more at place with Durgen and Ossrum.

Thor + Avalancher is a disputed pair, some people love them like this, some don't. I think there are a couple of other things that are better on Thor than the Avalancher. And with this we've arrived to the models that are actually the best choices for a Gorten Searforge army too in my book: The Blaster and the Basher.
The former solves your tarpit problems, they are anti-stealth, and anti highdef-lowarm type of models, wile they can even lay some hurt on some squishier warcasters.
Blasters are very focus effective and if you place one on Thor and one on Gorten you have a quick one and a strong one.
The Basher works without focus in most of the turns doing free failed slams on opponent models instead of running. With SoG it destroys heavies just as the Driller.
I tend to put one on Gorten and one on Thor just as with the Blaster.

So even if you drop the OAC for 2 Blasters I think you have a much better list.
I'd also swap the Avalancher to a Basher + Rockbottom to ensure that your FG don't flee and that Thor always succeeds his Pronto checks.

Good luck!

Welcome to the joy of the stunties, I applaud your choice. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun, especially with Gorten.

Don't be afraid to put more jacks on Gorten either. His battle box was the driller and 3 gunners and it still is pretty effective. It's all pretty focus efficient.

What to give Thor all boils down to personal preference. The avalancher can do some good because of it's threat range with Thor but it is a sizable point sink. A basher and a blaster works pretty good as well, and depending on what your playing against two bashers can be a lot of fun.

Building off what Pattison suggested you could also drop the forge guard to 3 min units. That would leave you at 1 point under but that is a pretty common thing for Searforge.

I would drop the Artilery Corps from that list, as well as the Avalancher...

I would then put in their place, as highlighted bellow :



Gorten +7
- Grundback Blaster 3 pts
- Grundback Blaster 3 pts
- Ghordson Driller 6 pts

Forge Guard 8 pts
- Leader & 9 Grunts

Forge Guard 8 pts
- Leader & 9 Grunts

Lord Rockbottom 2 pts

Thor Steinhammer 2 pts
- Ghordson Basher 7 pts
- Ogrun Bokur - 3

Im having a hard time to see what Rockbotton is supposed to do, doesnt his abilities only work on Privateer models?

[MagnustheJust]

His 'Bought Loyalty' ability works on all friendly Mercs.

And Rat 6 with a flamethower is nothing to sneeze at!!

The buffs from his coins only work on Sea Dog units...but his "bought loyalty" ability can be used by anyone. This ensures that Thor will get his Drive rolls no matter what. He is also bringing a SP8 POW 12 that causes continues fire...which is always nice

This looks like a viable list. Just move one of the Blasters over to Thor.

Hey now...I may have taken a statement you made for my sig...but there was no sneaky ninja work here, 1 minute time difference. You just won the typing race


also...to clarify...it would be pirated in my case

[MagnustheJust]

If I really wanted to rub it in more... I would snarckastically mention that I only type with one hand, due to my hands being bigger than the keys section of my keyboard.
