Age of Sigmar General /aosg/

So I'm just starting AoS, should I shoot for getting a 2000pt army up and running, or build up from 500-1000-1500 etc? Pic related on what I wanna do.

omg I fuking love this thing, user, it's superb!

So I had my first tournament today. Was such great fun. Everything I hoped it would be - great opponents, nice people, varied armies, learned a LOT, and My Dudes seemed appreciated.

Especially fun was winning 2 victories out of the 3, and those victories included almost zero kill points. I basically cranked the goblin cowardice up to 11 and avoided fighting mostly, running away to objectives, staying beyond threat range, and even running around the enemy army on a heroic spider-marathon to cap the Battle For the Pass rear objective in turn 3. Fighting is over-rated in this game it seems.

Also tournaments are rushed and stressful, but worth it.

Pestilens are terryfing against horde armies, but benefit mainly from longer games? Stormcast are just... I mean... 2+ saves re-rolling 1s... WTF? Khorne are scary but predicatable?

What are your recent tournament experiences anons?

I've recenelty built up from nothing, since July. My advice is pick an army, and then pick your first 1000 point army. Don't even think about 2000 yet unless you don't give a shit about painting well. Whatever time you think it'll take, times it by 3.

Was only 1000pts tournament. Spiderfang mainly: 1 general, 1 arachnarok, 10 spider riders, with 2x20 moonclan grots, 3 fanatics. [940pts]

Just hope this play-style can become a proper thing with a battletome and goblin allegiance abilities etc., e.g. retreating being incentivized somehow.

Oh boi, this model is so fuckin huge. Have you ever tried to play with mono-spiderfang?

Have considered it but it loses the 'feel' of what I love about goblins, the mobs of little cowards. The spidr riders are way to pricey and often targeted, so need protecting by something non-spiderfang I reckon. They need chaff-screen or artillary support (or something else I've not thought of). They are too pricey to sit on objecties when you could have the little moonclan dudes.

But yeah the Arachnarok is a beast. So, so reliable. Wound sponge, always deals out pain to any unit type around it. zaps things, buffs things, all-round MPV most games. Will defo build a 2nd one for the 2000pt army.

The spider riders are less reliable... unless you have the luxury of setting up a great charge sequence on an isolated (or chaff-screened) enemy tanky unit.

How are kroxigors?
I wanna ally some cool lizarddudes with my highborne elves

Hm alright. I plan on doing Lords of the Lodge and maxing out on Hearthguard Berzerkers for that double pile in. How's this look for an 1000pt list? Should I drop the Magmadroth in such a low point game?
