I personally play it as 13. Why bother listing them as having Two Hand Weapons if they don't get the additional attack from it? Also say if you made the CoB your BSB and gave it the Hydra Banner (not tactically a good idea but bear with it) would you get the extra attacks? Same if you gave the Death...

Did you remember the new FAQ about Monstrous Cavalry? You now get the Wounds and Toughness of the mount, so even a Master on a Dark Peg is T4 with 3 Wounds!

Used her quite a bit and as long as the enemy doesn't have ASF you're usually ok. Just send her at single targets or small elite units with low I and watch her rip them to pieces. As you stated she pretty much is the description of glass cannon. Try to make sure you choose her match ups carefully an...

Darksphere are good if you're UK based.

I have to say you seem already on the right track. Shooting and more shooting makes very short work of High Elves, just be aware that they have the slight margin on range but once your RXB's are closer, you'll mow them down quite quickly. Your opponent won't like you bringing 2 units of Shades as th...

From a RAW perspective only it does say the Skirmishers reform around the centremost model on the front rank so unfortunately irrelevants suggestion would be against the rules, even though it does make sense. I can only see this being played as Stonecutter suggested that when the skirmishers re-depl...

1) Yes, it specifically says so. 2) AFAIK, yes as well. Always played it that way. 3) Normal ranged attacks, if they were magical, it would say so like the Venom Sword. No idea if the flaming rule can work on them. 4) Depends on where you're using her, though it's usually not. The more points she be...

Tbf even if this did work, I thought our "unkillable" Dreadlords strength lay in the fact he was Stubborn as well? If you gave him The Armour of Living Death and the Pendent, you cannot afford the Crown of Command thus meaning he becomes more vulnerable IMO. As for if the ruling actually d...

Odd question where I couldn't exactly find an answer anywhere for yet it did come up in a game the other day. Basically I was running a Shade Star list with no magic whatsoever and my opponent was Warriors of Chaos. He cast Call to Glory (the champion raising one) and I decided to let it pass, howev...

You could do it... if you were Tomb Kings ^_^

AFAIK though none of the other races can really have units of chariots, regardless whether or not the riders are characters.

Hello all! I've finally decided to sell all of my Lord of the Rings figures from the many many years of collecting the Battle Games in Middle Earth magazine. There's about £700 worth of models, not to mention the rules and the magazines themselves. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&...

This might seem incredibly obvious yet I'm just double checking. How many points is the above combination? I ask as in Hellebrons rule and the new FAQ it says she can accompany the Cauldron and replaces the Death Hag yet their is still no option to upgrade in her profile. Does that mean you have to ...

That's for anything "monstrous". They can make up to 3 supporting attacks each.

The rules in the army book for the Hydra are a throw back to 7th edition and they've been updated with the FAQ. The new Monsters and Handlers rule for 8th means ALL attacks (Close Combat, Shooting, Magic) etc are randomised, however, the Hydra FAQ says that all randomised attacks hit the Hydra, thus...

The ol Unkillable Dread does work fine. The Pendent smiles quite happily at S7 then you just slowly whittle him down. Did it before to a friend of mine who continuously boasted how amazing his VC Lord was.

The biggest issue for me is purely transport. All basic infantry is easy enough to transport and in 40K even the bulkier troops (Termies, Oblits), plus cavelry in Fantasy aren't too bad, yet some GW models are very hard to move without damage. My 4 main armies are CSM, Necrons, Dark Elves and Tomb K...

Ensure to dispel Pandemonium if he is using it and then as Kale has already stated kill the Sorcerer asap.

I had the other week with my Tomb Kings. Was playing a very nasty Slanesshi themed Daemons army to which I go slaughtered. There was, however, on minor victory for me. In turn 2 he preceded to charge my 20 unit of Archers with both the Masque (epp) and the Keeper of Secrets (double epp). After nerfi...

Do remember though that occasionally banners are a lot more important, IE The Blood and Glory Scenario. You need banners in virtually every unit to play that particular scenario.

With regards to the new rule for Unstable? Can the victors still combat reform after the Skellies crumble?

Another minor change for us is the hatred plus re-roll successful hits is now just accept the first roll rather than re-roll all the attacks. Doesn't really make a difference but it is a change.

New BRB FAQ has answered this!

Q: Do units that are deployed as Scouts count toward determining
who finished deploying their army first? (p79)
A: No.

Don't forget Ethereal units can still die to SCR. I charged my friends Wraiths with my Spears knowing full well I couldn't hurt them, yet I still had the +5 SCR over him meaning if the ghosts don't do well on their rolls, they just crumble to death anyway. It's a risky tactic and beware of the multi...

Aye, I missed that first line in the FAQ that flash29 pointed out. As flash also pointed out though it is a fairly badly worded FAQ as there is no other mention of casting modifiers other than power dice.

After playing Druchii now for many many years, I've finally switched armies to Tomb Kings. Loving the book so far and there is some very nice combinations and quirks in there but it is a huge change from Dark Elves. I have come across this though after thinking about from another thread on here rega...
