My last game was against brettonians and he decides to pray(no surprises there) instead of praying to the lady he prays to Allah. big mistake. First turn his lv 1 miscasts on 2 dide and rolls another double 1's on the chart. big explosion, 7 dead knights and a wound on the brettonian lord. epic

This has been FAQ'd Q. Does a unit that moves via compulsory movement have to obey the normal charging conventions regarding Front/Flank/Rear? Or may such a unit (e.g. Chaos Spawn) hit a side of an enemy unit different from the one where they began their move? A. They must obey the normal rules, and...

Like any bound spell, it doesn't prevent the wizard from casting the spell normally if he knows it in addition to having a bound spell. For instance, a Goblin Shaman who knows the 'Eadbutt spell can still use the ring that contains the same spell but bound at powerlevel 3. Black Staff is actually p...

So i know we were talking about this a page ago but I think hatered in 8thj edition should let you reroll one miss per model per close combat phase.

Warbands

Does anyone play warbands anymore? or for that matter very small point games( <1000 ) It seems like a good fast game mode and a cool way to get new people interested in the hobby/start new armies. Where can I get the latest warband rules? is it still those old white dwarfs?

Is that really correct Dalamar? Unless its been FAQ'd without my knowledge. How I understand it is that as the hydra has 5 wounds therefore it is unit strength 5 making the entire unit, unit strenth 7. Both beastmasters would have to die in the same phase to cause a panic test as you would be losing...

When I play against guess range warmachines I almost never move full distance allowed, and never say how much I moved in total. If I'm asked, I say "they marched, but less than max" or "just a bit, without marching so I can still shoot" If they looked closely at my tape measure ...

One of my pet peeves is monsters being march blocked. Why would my GUO not be able to march if some "scary" elves are close to him. it doesn't make sense to have skirmishers or monsters that can be march blocked. It espicially hurts the non flying monster becuase they have such a small LoS...

Calisson - I expect there aren't any sea monsters because there aren't any sea-combat rules. Man-o-war does not count.
