Thanks for the thorough response! You pretty much mirrored my own thoughts there on most of the gameplan, and I also think the chariot will be left behind and be more of a liability in this list... I was thinking metal on the sorceress to go after armour, but beasts sounds like more fun and gives mo...

Could put five more in there, but then I would have to go vanilla on the heroes, should I drop the chariot then?

Or go 2*5, only musician? That only leaves 70pts for magic items... maybe drop the chariot and still go for 2 units of 5 muso COK...

Hello good people! ...I mean vicious treacherous bastards ofcourse! I've wanted to make a mounted army for a long time, and now that we have lovely new dark rider models and with some awesome warlocks to boot it's time to open the wallet and go crazy! I have some ideas about the main meat of the arm...

Yes, i know, but the ordinary scrunner would be unlikely to pull off such shenanigans. ..

Would be fun to send it up to pull a ridden monster out from it's hidingplace so the RBTs can go to town on it..! But it is far to squishy for 300pts...

It went really really bad I played against deamons, and got stopped dead in the tracks by plaguebearers. They also had those big flying nurglethings that was unstoppable. Basically I had nothing that could take out high toughness, and deamons don't have armour so the metalmagic didn't help. I almost...

I thought that the sorceress could survive if I got her to 6 wounds with 4+ward. But I made a new list. I know that BG are not ideal in 8th, but I really like the models. Would 14 models be viable at all? Or smaller units of 7? I made a new list: General: supreme sorceress lvl 4, sacraficial dagger,...

Apparently I haven't been on this forum since june 5th 2011, but now I'm back! So I tried to make a list for 8th ed, but I would like som feedback it's etc komp btw. Characters General: supreme sorceress lvl 4, sacraficial dagger, black magic, 4+ wardsave, lifetaker sorceress, lvl 2, dispel scroll, ...

I haven't tried it yet, but it should be possible to change the scales into chain mail with greenstuff. With a good paintjob they would look appropriate I think...

You use the coldone's toughness now right? If so then now you have toughness 4 elves (yes, it is a sign of a chaos incursion). ASF banner, a BSB with the hydra banner work well. Give the BSB heavy armor and a sea dragon cloak, and either a halberd or a great weapon so they always have high strength...

You could chuck a unit of 5 witches at him. You can direct up to 12 attacks on him. Not too many BSBs can survive that. Or you could just send in 14 with a Hag right in his slimy green face and slaughter the blasted lot of them. But you have to maximize models in combat, so wouldn't only one witch ...

wouldn't a bolt thrower or two be able to deal with the problem? Two bolt throwers shooting should take two wounds off it each round on average...

Good, you still have very few troops, but at 1500pts you at least have a chance. Battles are won by troops with heroes to tip the scale here and there, not the other way around Put up a 1500pts list, and we can give you more help with what you can improve, and also what kind of models you may need f...

Basically your problem is that you have a D&D party with a few henchmen against a horde army. In other words, you need more troops! This army is illlegal... You have 385pts core and you need 750 pts. Until you get more models you just have to play smaller games. Maybe that seems dull for him as ...

I thought the main problem here was that the bell was placed behind some huge slave units, making it near impossible to frontally charge it with executioners or cold one knights. And these units would be whittled down before they get through the 50 ld10 slaves in front of the bell... And the bell is...

The seer is t4, so it might take more than one unit of harpies to kill him. But once he is dead the leadership of the army goes down a long way making slaves useless. It doesn't help depleting the unit of the grey seer, they will never panic and it doesn't affect the leadership bonus the general pro...

The problem is getting into combat when he is hidden behind a few hundrer slaves Suicide charging with harpies might work? But it would take a few attempts I reckon. Probably the ogre has a better initiative, so they go down. You could try charging with a peggy master, but he will probably be challe...

And I live on an island so it takes me an hour to get to the gaming store Then again I hardly ever play, so I don't get to flex my muscles much these days. When I lost my gaming group I just couldn't get back in that much. Now I only play in the summer when most of us come home from the holidays, an...

This is basic level painting? oh...



Beautiful models and very well executed! Maybe you can make another ten using heads from cold one knights this time? Would probably take a long time, but I really want to see more of them!

It also makes it possible to just put a 5model BG unit on the table and still hope to hold up an enemy str3 unit for several turns.
A 5 model unit may also get to the flank a lot easier, and this limits the return attacks against a champion.

Maybe this isn't such a bad idea?

Some more hammerers, 10 more at least.
Get a runesmith if the set don't include one.
Get a BSB.
Get some more warmachines, 2 or 3.
Get a dragon slayer... you should always have a dragon slayer! But BFSK have one slayer? That covers that then.


And you're probably good to go

hmm, no my post was actually completely pointless. Oh well, that's what you get for skimming

sorry Dalamar

yes it can, because unless FAQed, it just says the number of rank, nothing directed at the rank bonus. I actually play Skaven as my second army, and the army book states: "to calculate the Leadership of a uni with the Strength in Numbers rule, first determine the unit's Leadership as normal an...

Take a plier and bend the metal slightly, then they will be stuck when you put them in the base and you don't even need glue.

Probably not the best description, but hope you understood what I meant.

Also, this should be in painting and modelling

I think crossbowmen can do wonders against ogres. The 5+ to wound is not so bad, because they can dish out so many shots. The ogres only get a 6+ or no save against the repeater crossbow. Armoursave is usually more decisive then toughness when it comes to shooting. But it's probably better to concen...
