So here it is, after a lot of head scratching, test games and points calculations i've finally written my list for Blog Wars 3 - I must admit it's changed from my initial plan, although still being monkey-centric I have included 2 units of non-Jokaero in the form of Purifiers (I know I promised not too!). The reason for this addition, is purely because I've put a lot of effort into painting and modelling my army (for me anyway) and I don't want to see my beautiful chimps and chimpets blown off the board before my opponent has had chance to appreciate them! I'm still running a full counts-as force, with every model in the army represented by a monkey (even the Dreds) and I've made a rather nice Jungle themed board to display them for the tournament. Hopefully this list should be good fun to play, and I think 14 Jokaero is still a lot of lascannon wielding monkies to contend with! so anyway here's the list

I've pretty much finished painting the army - to a very basic standard but one i'm happy with as i'm not much of a painter, and will post some pictures of the units in my next update!
I've spotted a bit of an issue with this army... I don't know if it has occurred to you or not, but I'll mention it anyway. You aren't getting the full value from your jokaeros.
ReplyDeleteYou see, you add 1 to your dice roll for each jokaero beside the first... meaning on your 6 ape squad you get +5. Excellent, you automatically get The Works! Roll twice more... except the +1 applies to this too, right? And repeat rolls of 6 are ignored... meaning the squad with 6 get's no upgrades. The squads with 4 will need to roll a 1 or a 2 for an upgrade to count... unless the FAQ says something different I haven't seen. Just spotted this today - had been thinking you could end up with some cool quirky upgrades then read that and was like "oh..."
