Great insights into the war beasts, lovely models that don´t see table often at least where i play. Would love to get me a 2 mumak army just for fun and giggles. Keep up the awesome work mates!
Hey thinking about Buying a Mumakil but I am not sure yet because of the new edition and I can’t get the rulebook yet so I wanted to ask what you think about Warbeasts and what/if something has changed
@@intothewestpodcastthen I have two more questions specifically for the Mumak War leader firstly do they have fight 5 or 6 because the mumak has fight 5 but the rider has 6 and does it have all the upgrades the regular mumak can buy or not?
That’s a good question. I’ve always played it as a 4+, but looking at the In-The-Way chart, a 3+ can be argued as well, as the howdah is sort of a “flimsy fence”. -Charles
That's a fair interpretation for rules as written. I guess to me there's some gray area regarding the intention since it acts as a shooting attack and common sense to me dictate a rock is more weapon than ability. But I see your point, it's not listed in the weapons section of the weapons/wargear. -Richard
@@intothewestpodcast additionally, I think there would be some strange interactions if they classified abilities like that as weapons. For example, the Throw Stones ability. If hobbits used them like throwing weapons, they could throw stones on the charge. That would be funny. If a troll uses his Throw Stone ability on the charge, that would be broken.
Great video guys.

Thanks Frik!
Mumaks look amazing and can be fun to play but I hate playing against them 😂
-Richard
Thanks for putting this together!
Going to my next tourney with a Mumakill Warleader, thanks for the video and wish me luck!
Goodluck, let us know how it goes!

They are amazing, massive buffs!
Watch our new video on the rules changes of the new edition, we go into more detail!

You use the Mumak’s F5. They royal Mumak comes with tusk weapons, Gnarled Hide, and Sigils.
What would you say is the howdah in-the-way value to hit the guys on the platforms? 4+?
That’s a good question. I’ve always played it as a 4+, but looking at the In-The-Way chart, a 3+ can be argued as well, as the howdah is sort of a “flimsy fence”.
-Charles
Isn't it specifically 5+ in the rules?
Pretty sure poisen rocks are gone. The rule states poison applied to all weapons, but aren't the rocks an ability? And therefore not poisoned?
You might be correct there, though I’d still like this to be clarified at some point.
