eyescrossed Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hi, in less than a month, I'll be getting either Ann'grath the unbound or Scabeiathrax the bloated (giant GUO or BT). I have no idea which one, though. Pro's and con's of the 2. Scabby's Pro's: 1. Extremely hard to kill (10 wounds at T9!) 2. Good ranged attack and CC weapon 3. Very detailed model 4. Can be proxied for Ku'gath 5. Loads of Nurgling attacks Con's: 1. Not really that epic compared to normal GUO models 2. Not many attacks (not including Nurglings) I can't think of any more - post some if you can think of more. Ann'grath's Pro's: 1. Great scare factor 2. Can potentially get unlimited attacks 3. Great survivability w/2+/4++ and T8 (though not as much wounds or T as Scabby) 4. Very fast Con's: 1. Might be hard to assemble compared to Scabby 2. Costs a lot more money wise 3. Can be taken down by LC spamming Also, I've already got a Bloodthirster model, but Ann'grath is just awesome! I think Scabby would be funner to paint, but that's just my opinion. So, what do you think? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158770-anngrath-or-scabeiathrax/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyescrossed Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Sorry about the double post, but it'll grasp your attention more. This is what's in my army so far: Bloodthirster Herald of Khorne on Jugger The Masque Bloodcrusher 2 Beasts of Nurgle 10 Bloodletters 10 Plaguebearers 10 Horrors Daemon Prince of Nurgle Soul Grinder 1500 points. I'm not gonna post upgrades or anything, this is just the gist of my army to help you decide.

Captain Malachi Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Scabby, cheaper and you already have a bloodthirster anyway. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158770-anngrath-or-scabeiathrax/#findComment-1860093 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyescrossed Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Thanks for the not-so-fast reply :blush: I should take out the money con, because I'm not paying for it anyway.

Seahawk Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I've used both in Apoc games, and I'll tell you that An'ggrath will make itself worth it each and every time. Superheavies a problem? Not when he pops out near it and kills it in a single round of combat. Little weenies blocking your path? Level them quick-style. Ol' Scabby, while nasty, isn't nearly as powerful. Struggles to dink superheavies, but good for clearing out weak hordes with special powers.

eyescrossed Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Sorry about the double post, but just so you know, I'll probably get Scabby, unless someone can convine me otherwise.
