We might be going into infantry horde meta so who knows, maybe we’ll be picking up fanatics, witch aelves and executioners

*models with 1-3 health, I guess if you don't have a better option you can fish for 5s and 6s into some cav

Sex, Drugs and Sausage Rolls: The Ironjawz Scourge of Ghyran Update What would make Ironjawz players happy? I could write you a whole article on what we want and need, but we ain’t getting everything this side of a new Battletome. In terms of realistic hopes …

I've been playing Ironjawz for a long time now, and here's my thoughts on the recent Scourge of Ghyran update for Team Green 💚 🤘

plasticcraic.blog/2025/05/21/s...

Doesn't Mad 'Un only keep going as long as it is slaying models? So it only works against infantry with 1-3 health, and works best against 1-2 health with no ward. I think that makes it a lot more niche than my beloved wurrgog

Given this, don’t you think capital accumulation could play some role?

Most countries have progressive taxation. The lowest earners are not paying 60%, and even the top bracket is less than that where I live (47%). Many property investors here *do* pay tax – it’s mostly big multinationals that weasel out of it.

Do you think capital accumulation exists as a natural result of capitalism? If so, what is the endgame of treating housing as a commodity if not concentration in the hands of a few to the detriment of many?

I think we have different priorities then. I don’t care too much about rigid property rights when such rigidity leads to obvious negatives. I sense you’re more in the anarcho-capitalist/right libertarian camp whereas I’m in the liberal camp, with sympathies for market socialism/left libertarianism

What do you mean by the inefficiency being addressed by people who don’t own apartments?

I mean economically inefficient from a social perspective. There exists a more efficient resource allocation which the current AirBnB model fails to find. Compare to the rental market, which from a quick search has vacancy rates of around 1-2% (at least in Aus)

Average Airbnb Occupancy Rates By City | AllTheRooms What's the average occupancy rate you should be aiming for with your short-term rental? How can you improve your occupancy rate?

airbnbs are very economically inefficient, on average they have like a 25% occupancy rate www.alltherooms.com/resources/ar...

blanket vacancy tax is a more liberal way to regulate this though, rather than a total ban

Vince tells me has only actually played 1 event, so I may re-do this.

New Ironjawz faction rankings for March 2025

This ranking is by average points for players with a minimum of two events, derived from the wonderful data provided by @sixdiceskills.bsky.social 🙏

Jacob Brandon is sitting comfy at #1, a position it seems he could hold until the end of this GHB

this is chaotic evil for sure

Thank you for the data! Just wanted to provide a different lens on it, so all G

For sure. It’s just.. there are multiple reasons why 6 IRL events are impractical for some players + factions. We can see this for IJ, and we can see this for all the players in APAC who don’t have a GT every weekend they can go to

I think maybe you misunderstood my post about the 3-2s. I’m not excluding all 3-2s, just excluding players with a single event. Without the 2 event minimum there are a lot of 3-2 players with 90 pts total = 90 pts average who would rank in the top 10 by average.

Agree we should all go to more events! The problem for IJ is that only one player has 5 events, and your stats skew in his favour because of this

I also only included players with 2+ events, so players who played 1 aren’t in this list. I’d bump the min to 3 for more popular factions for sure

Ironjawz Faction Rankings Feb 2025

Rob's data here: thehonestwargamer.com/age-of-sigma...

My spreadsheet here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Please feel free to remix and adapt for other factions!

I'll hopefully add a few more events to my own score before the new GHB too! I think Ironjawz are in a really great place, and I can't resist the call of the Bossrokk tower and big pigs 🐖

I'm lurking just below Scott at #19, which I'm pretty happy with.

These are the rankings for Feb 2025, and I'll try to maintain them monthly as we go forward. Consider them a complement to Rob's rankings rather than a replacement!

Jacob Brandon jumps to #1 after a stellar performance at LVO where he placed 4th. Aaron Newbom is steady at #2, being both a long-time Ironjawz enjoyer and consistent performer. There are a few other big movements, with Will Reeves dropping from #1 to #6, and Scott Smith dropping from #3 to #18

My rankings for the top 20 are on the right, with the changes compared to Rob's rankings in the rightmost column.

I've excluded players with only 1 event, because getting a 3-2 once (90pts) doesn't intuitively seem like it should rocket you to the top 10 (insufficient faction loyalty!)

While I appreciate @sixdiceskills.bsky.social ranking me the #8 Ironjawz player worldwide, deep down I know that's not quite right 😅

Ranking by total points overly rewards GT attendance (surely a conspiracy by Big GT to sell more GTs!), when IMO ranking on average points is fairer

Surprising similarities between my two favourite games: cricket 🤝 AoS

- takes an unreasonably long time
- prio roll/coin flip determines choice of first turn
- double turn mechanic
- 6s good

such great models, love this!

I feel this. I want it on a Tuskboss or a Maw-krusha

this is is my favourite manifestation at the moment, when that strikes last goes off it's nuts

haven't tried autocasting it on the opponent's turn with the calligrave yet, that might be too evil 😈

stayed up until 1am last night playing my first game for RTB

loving Lumineth so far compared to IJ, managed to grind out a tie against Be'lakor and 12 varanguard
