And Dryads (which could make a bunker) are a poor choice because they are simply a poor choice period. Not sure why all the Dryad hate. Point wise their the same as Witches. No frenzy, but they get +1 T, same base attacks, Fear, and universal Hatred, plus a 6+ ward. I don't think they're the end al...

Tullaris was almost worth it in 7th. On the charge you would wipe out the enemy front rank (probably two ranks) and prevent return attacks, while Tullaris' fear could force an autobreak. Plus his sword does something cool (cant remember what, reroll to wound or something?) No autobreak. Unless I re...

"CoK Deathstar" without Hydrabanner and with only 9 CoK? I'm so, so dissapointed. You won't need the PoK on your BSB when whatever he's in combat with dissintegrates instantly. Besides, you already have MR(3) and Ring of Hotek in the unit, and a 5+ wardsave from the Cauldron if you should ...

Bottom: 3: Manticore - cool but useless. Best way to keep your Manticore alive? Keep it on the shelf. 2: Assassins - also cool but also useless. They work if you equip them with rendingstars, but then they are very expensive at doing something they're not designed to do in the first place, while if...

Most (but not all) Empireplayers don't have a Master Engineer near their Helblaster though, (he usually inspects the mandatory, nearby, Great Cannons), so it usually fires with BS3, meaning it hits on 5+ at long range. Then add the fact that it has a massive chance of missfiring and the helblaster w...

Not to sound rude, but I suggest you simply buy a new armybook, especially since you apparently intend to keep playing with/against High Elves.
Asking for pointcosts (and blatantly revealing them) are against forumrules.

And White Lions are the best infantry HE got against Warriors of Chaos.

With CoB it's 71+D3 attacks from the Witchelves + Death Hag attacks. Personally I'd just ditch the Hydrabanner and have the Cauldron as my BSB. All those points for 10 S3 attacks and 1 S4 attack isn't just worth it in my book, especially since your Death Hag BSB is very fragile. (61+D3 S3 AP poisone...

If I were to use a Cold one BSB myself, I'd give him:

Cold One, Heavy Armour, SDC, Shield, Whip of Agony, Dawnstone.
1+ rerollable AS and 4 S5 AP attacks with hatred is nothing to sniff at.

Greetings. After a long break from my Druchii, I've repraired and de-dusted (if that's even a word?) them, and now I'm eager to bring them to the battlefield! List as follows (not meant to be uber-competitive), and feedback welcome: -Lords- Dreadlord - 240 pts Armour of Darkness, Whip of Agony, Pend...

1: The Cauldron is a warmachine, and a such it can move with the movementvalue of the crew, but cannot march. 2: I don't really understand this question, but beeing Khainite or not has nothing to do with blessings, and the AB is quite clear that even if you have more than one Cauldron of Blood, each...

Everyone calls their opponent "cheesy" when they fail to take it into account and get blindsided by it. He probably just didn't want to lose a warmachine, and was annoyed that you actually had a way of combating his shooting troops that didn't involve walking forward and dying in a hail o...

Indeed, the fact that a cannonball can hit both the rider and mount is both stupid and illogical.
I think this is a fact that all WFBplayers agree on (even Empire/Dwarf players).

It's not really that 'easy' to make an Unkillable lord in 8th Ed anymore, but that depends to the changes to stacking wardsaves and regeneration. On foot, our best saves is either 1+ AS and PoK, or 1+ Rerollable AS. On a Cold One, our best saves would be a rerollable 1+ AS with Regeneration. (AoES a...

T3 2 wounds no save, and with only WS9 to protect him in a game of stepping up and supporting attacks?
No, I don't think the melee Assassin is worth it one bit.

The Rendingstar assassin -might- be worthwile against opponents with little/no magic/shooting, but that's about it.

At best it will have a 3+, cant see GW giving it a 1 or 2.

Apparently it has a 5+ save.

For defense, the sphinx got a warriors WS, Malekith's Tx2, as many wounds as a hydra and the same lousy armoursave that our Black Guard have. 14x Witchelves (7x2) with BoM will on average do 5,35 wounds to it after saves. If that fails, just pelt it with RxB shots. The Sphinx lives on it's high toug...

Since you're hellbent on taking a Cold One:

Cold One, Heavy Armour, SDC, Dragonhelm, Soulrender, Dawnstone.
1+ rerollable save (2+ ward against flaming), S6 AP magical attacks.

Cold One, AoES, Soulrender, SDC, Shield.
2+ save, (1+ against shooting), regeneration and S6 AP magical attacks.

Just what 8th Ed. needs - improved magic.

Looking forward to see the new monsters though.

Loads of options in the magic department.
Poisoned attacks from witchelves.
etc, etc.

I wouldn't really be too worried.

Which makes the Whip of Agony really appealing in 8th Ed.
No longer does it have to feel like the smaller brother to Crimson Death.

Removing guess range didn't make cannons any less accurate among players with more than a few games on their back. Even players 'skilled' in guessing would've had a problem 'guessing' the bouncespot to be exactly 10"/8" infront ot the back end of a hydra/dragon/etc. Now you just say "...

As a Empire (and Dark Elves) player myself, I agree that cannons are ridiculously accurate.

Blame Mat Ward for removing guess range and adding TLoS.

lvl 4 ogre lvl 2 ogre cc killy ogre 2 units of 8 ogre (core) 10 scouting gnoblars 20 gnoblars 2 scrap launchers 3 of the guys that come one anywhere on the table edge. Was the 'cc killy ogre' a Tyrant(lord)? Otherwise he was cheating. If he was a Tyrant, that means he had 400 pts in lords without a...

So that means no one can use it at the BRB's listed cost of X.

Ogre Kingdoms can buy it for that price.

You could agree within your gaming group to each have the option to refuse to play one particular scenario. So, as a wood elf he could refuse to play the death or glory scenario (which, to be honest, I do think is a pretty poorly worked out scenario, they could have come up with something much more...
