[OLD] Faction Focus: Mawtribes

[@HeyWoah]

[@peabutterspecial2362]

I like the narrative intros. If you know nothing about AOS lore, they give insight into what the faction is all about. Stats and playstyle are important, but so is your personal connection to the folks you're sending into slaughter.

[@Kernel_Kertz]

“Cordially welcome your opponent to the meat dimension” would have been where I subbed if I hadn’t already.

[@haydenandersen9937]

I would pay to hear a warhammer audiobook narrated by you.

[@HeyWoah]

I definitely can't do a british accent, and when someone tries to and fails it ain't pretty.

[@ericwolf9664]

@@HeyWoah I think the lack of British accent is a big selling point.

[@adamkadir3803]

Man I'm hype to hear one of these for Beastmen. Underdog army sure, but still my favourite theme and I've had the most fun with the minis.

[@gudboah4688]

The demon-furries are pretty damn cool. I’m thinking about building one once I’m done with my gutbuster and beastclaw armies.

[@MikeSpicyWinner]

I love my Beastie Boys!

[@petrinafilip96]

One big perk of having your main battleline be pretty old: its from the era of huge customization, there are soooooooo many bits and extra options on each sprue.

[@RadioactiveZerg]

HeyWoah your Faction Focuses are some of the most informative content around for AoS and you're great. I wish 40k was more diverse just to create the opportunity for you to dabble in those armies as well.

[@marioricomeza2839]

As a beginner in 40k, is there actually anything like heywoah for each faction?

[@RadioactiveZerg]

@@marioricomeza2839 the hard part right now for finding good faction based content for 40k is that 9th edition was very recently dropped, and the coronavirus stuff has slowed releases down to even slower pace so a lot of content hasnt been updated with new info. For article based info for each faction i recommend the goonhammer start competing series, and they have them separated based on which have been updated for 9th edition. For videos, Tabletop Titans have great gameplay videos as well as a few faction focus videos. Auspex Tactics also tends to do deep dives on many areas of 40k and is one of the fastest sources of updates.

[@matejkotrba9757]

@@marioricomeza2839 "Auspex tactics"... visually similar overview of units, point costs, mechanics and so on. I am not sure if he does faction overviews (edit: he does, which ones to collect and then goes in detail on units and so on), since I didn't search for it, being in 40k since 5th edition...

[@taserrr]

What do you mean? 40k is very diverse, you might just be too focused on space marines.

[@RadioactiveZerg]

@@taserrr When this comment was posted in October 2020 we were sitting four months into 9th edition with space marines and necrons being the only codexes to show for it. The winning game plan at that point in the edition heavily favored some 8th edition armies and made multiple others extremely difficult to stay on even ground with, go check out the late 2020 tournament results. Also AoS has so much more visual diversity between armies it's unreal. It's like if every 40k faction was xenos.

[@HeyWoah]

Some might say you can take 2 ironblasters in a gutguard, but that's the joke :P Also, are narrative intros cool or cringe? Let me know

[@jamesmitchell2704]

the narrative works

[@bootayslaya3822]

That intro was amazing, got me understanding the ways these big lads think

[@_MattYee]

the narrative intros are cool, they get the viewer into the faction

[@diegom6217]

Cool

[@jofranklin3723]

way cool. I was almost tricked into wanting to play the faction

[@rawhide303]

It would fun if the ever winter did something. Maybe allow the yetis be summoned on the board edge. Something like turn 2 they can come on your board edge, turn 3 the sides and turn 4 your opponents.

[@MexicanSasquatch02]

Amazing how a two minute story ,about an army I previously had little interest in, can almost convince me to double dip and buy the Beastclaw Raiders Starter box. Too bad your Gloomspite Gitz vid already convinced me to follow the light of the bad moon lol. Might just settle for buying the battletome to read more of the lore.

[@petrinafilip96]

Feast of Bones was such a great deal for starting Ogors. That + one SC BCR and you got a nice diverse army. Or just stock up on BCR boxes and play them "pure". 3 could be enough for 2000 points if you use battalions.

[@bombarded15]

@@petrinafilip96 That's exactly what I did, then box of Ironguts, and a butcher, and I almost had a full army for under $200

[@Grumdy]

[@beerbatreps3861]

Firebelly is a personal top 10 model ever. Maori Warrior island fire dancer vibe and such an incredible sculpt. I like the imagery that he uses his fire cloak spell to keep him warm in the everwinter blizzards. A 4+ smite shooting attack is awesome and one of his spells gives out a massive bubble of -1 to hit. Honestly I wish they would flesh out that lore more. I want to run 6 of them in a 2k list hahahaha🔥🔥🔥

[@l.t.c3847]

Man you've been pumping these last few factions focuses out. You're doing really incredible work, thanks for your incredible content HeyWoah

Something both the Mawtribes and Tyranids encapsulate perfectly: My feelings when I get the munchies.

[@AOSGeeks]

Long time BCR player here. Amazing video! The amount of work/preparation you put in your videos is impressive. Keep up the good work!

[@chrisjacobi7550]

That short story in the beginning was just amazing. I would love to see a Black Library Novel solely focused on the Ogors done in the same style. They have enough intellect to enrichen the narrative (not like writing a book about Orruks... which is always tough).

[@SzogedWarlocks]

Great video! I really liked the short story narration in the propaganda section, you really captured the feel of the Beastclaw!

[@SuperEagle112]

I subbed because I love the content delivery and the use of the phrase “shrug” for the tough save. My buddy and I thought we were unique in that saying.

[@cocopops992]

HeyWoah im late to the party here. But just wanted to tell you how chill and informative your videos are... a lot. the intro was really good at showing of the faction. looking forward to hear about legions of nagash, at some point in the future. Sry about bad english

I'll be honest, I didn't know Mournfang were carnivorous until today. I suppose it makes sense that they would be, it is Ogors after all, though they look like herbivores to me.

[@grimharkness]

Very much enjoyed this and I'd been looking forward to it for a while. I made a Boulderhead monster mash list my 'Lockdown Army' and built it but never got round to painting it. It's not the optimal build as I went for Frostlord on Stonehorn, 2 Huskards on Thundertusk, then 2 Stonehorn Beastriders and a Thundertusk Beastriders but I was mostly building to try and make them look varied and give me something fun to run. A group of mates are doing a monthly hobby pledge and it's got me excited about painting my BCR again. If I enjoy them when we can get back to playing I reckon I might try out either all Stonehorns all the time, or a mix of Stonehorns and Mournfangs.

That intro was excellent!

[@sircombre1291]

Big fan of your content, but I feel Papa Nurgle is sorely under represented by this channel!!

[@josepholiveira2873]

Your description of what makes Mawtribes difficult to play reminds me of the Human team in Blood Bowl. It's sold to beginners as, "This is easy to play because they're straightforward models without a lot of rules", but that lack of specialization and fancy tricks/gimmicks actually makes them one of the hardest teams to play (as they're entirely reliant on just playing the game well) and thus one of the worst starting picks for a new player. It sounds like Mawtribes are in a similar boat.

[@ethangriffin3935]

I wasn't planning on getting into AoS, but I'll be damned if this video didn't convince me to try my hand at Mawtribes.

[@zemoregul]

I still think butchers should have been priests, invoking the hunger of Gorkamorka. Would help with the ability to actually get off their buffs/debuffs and with that could change the mawpot to be a bonus to priests which in turn helps the Beastclaw priest.

[@HeyWoah]

Agreed. I got 2 hours of suggestions for the next battletome that GW can ignore :)

[@zemoregul]

@@HeyWoah I kinda feel we are going to be reaching capacity for armies soon, after the shadow elves and the vampirates, hopefully after they will turn the focus back inwards and give some rules love to those who really need it and model love to others.

[@AGloriusCrushingz]

Any ally units that you tried taking with mawtribe for fun and unique lists? I wanna try Troggoths with Under bellies, seems fun.

[@HeyWoah]

Yes, as per the FAQ, when a behemoth gains the Battleline keyword, they lose the Behemoth keyword (though they are still a monster). As such, there's no force organization chart limit on the number you can run.

Hi there! I've decided to start assembling my first army, and I like the models of the Mawtribes, but you seemed to be discouraging them from a play perspective. How heavily underrated are they compared to the other factions and how unviable is a build that runs some Leadbleachers and maybe an Ironblaster with the rest of the big boys? I don't need to be scoring wins in high-level tournaments, but I've always been a competitive player, so I want to be able to snatch some wins without fighting an absolute uphill battle when playing with friends at the local store.
