Breath Weapons are used in melee at your own initiative. What happens if the user has a Great Weapon? Is the Breath resolved at normal initiative before the normal attacks, or do you wait with the Breath Weapon to later?

Yes, sorceress on a Dark Steed can Vanguard. I think it's in the FAQ.

Take either a lvl 2 or a lvl 1 alongside a unit of warlocks, with just one spell the magic phase is IF-or-nothing. Big magic phase, 12 PD against 6DD, both of you throw 6 dice on your one spell, if you don´t IF and blow yourself up then you will most likely be dispelled with IF.

Fast Cav, shooting and magic looks good, a lvl 4 on Steed and two units of Warlocks is scary. You have a LOT of points into characters and not a lot in combat units, good mobility but nothing strong besides the Witch Elf horde. Considering this I think you need a lore that help the Witches primarily...

In that case the Gleaming Pennant should work for a fleeing fast cav BSB rallying from a feigned flight. It's not an item you actively use, it automatically activates when you fail a Ld-roll, the player doesn't have a say in if it's used or not. It's similar to the Charmed Shield and the Opal Amulet...

Can't fleeing units use any magic items? I understand about Dispel Scrolls and Ruby Ring, but what about Ward Saves?

How do these interact? Gleaming Pennant gives a reroll on the first failed Ld-roll, and the BSB gives a reroll on all failed Ld-rolls. They seem to trigger at the same time, however the rule is that when you reroll the first result never happened. If the BSB reroll is successfull, then the roll neve...

Gleaming Pennant or Standard of Discipline is great on the Cold One Knights if they are going to be anywhere outside the range of your BSB. Failing Stupidity on the CoKs is very bad.

I think you need some kind of fast cav or harpies to accompany Morathi. They can provide cover against BS-shooting, redirect if you get in a bad situation that you can´t fly out of and generally help out. She wants to get close with Death Magic but you only bring infantry, CoKs and a Hydra, she´s go...

I usually run them 3x2 or 4x2 if they escort a sorceress. It´s a nice and compact formation, as wide as it is deep. I think it has an effect when fleeing, a 5-wide formation will more often clip something and jump too far. The formation is usually better in combat, when multicharging or hitting some...

Nice reports, well played. The list looks good, you put the chariots and RBTs to good use, and it looks very maneuverable for an infantry army, or you just win during deployment with a good feel for how the battle will play out. I do think you could use a scroll caddy for some magical defence, maybe...

When you split the PD, if only one side has magic then the other one will almost never get anything through. As long as both sides have some way to use those PD then both sides will get a magic phase. Winds of magic 6+3, 5 and 4 PD against 6 DD, if both teams have some magic then a few spells will g...

dms505 makes a good point. If you are not trusted allies, then both teams need to bring their own magic and extra magic defences. You are getting just a few PD each turn but you need to spend them, if one part of the army loses magic then the other part is left with half PD against all the DD of the...

750p - Give the Dreadlord the Dragonhelm and drop the Shield, still within the Lord allowance and 1+ AS even in melee 1500p - Drop the Gleaming Pennant from the BSB and give it to another unit. It´s not only better in almost all situations, BSBs can´t use both magic items and a magic standard. 3000p...

DE strengths are magic, maneuverability and killy units. Using what you own, a 600p list with warlocks, Executioners and Witch Elves would be strong. If you have the Power Dice, a Sorceress, but it might be better to either convert a melee hero (get Corsair bits for a Sea Dragon Cloak) or a Death Ha...

It´s coming along well, not as quickly as I thought/hoped but I´ve still made more progress during the last 2 months than the previous full year. I don´t sit down to paint every evening but I do manage a few times each week, and each time makes a huge difference once I got past the big hurdle of met...

I agree with Amboadine that the COK needs command more than the DR, but you need to keep it at 250p Core. Exchange the champ and standards on the DRs for one more body per unit but that´s all you can do without either removing gear from the Master, breaking up units or bring units with variable load...

Change the loadout for the BSB. The Halberd is a twohanded weapon so he can´t use the shield in close combat, dropping his armour save to 2+ in melee. Give him Heavy Armor and the Sea Dragon Cloak for 1+ armour save all the time.

Is your BSB on a pegasus? It wasn´t included in the list.

I wonder about your experiences with Dark Riders without crossbows and how Cold One Knights work for you.

I don´t think so. The attack doesn´t come directly from the magical item, what the magical item does is give the character a new ability which isn´t magical in itself. Like the Cloak of Twilight the egg gives you new special rules, but the item itself doesn´t cause the damage.

1d6 PD is not much when Dark needs 3+ PD for most spells. With so little magic go with a Master, DRs and the Warlocks (for a +2 to dispel and the occasional Doombolt). A Sorceress needs to cast spells to earn back her points but the Warlocks can fight in a pinch. If you still want a Sorceress then d...

I don´t think there´s points for a Dreadlord, but 125p is enough for a 1+ rerollable armour save Master on a steed or a Cold One. Master, 5 warlocks and 1-2 units of DR core with crossbows, nasty list.

I´m not sure about the rules. Is it okay to field only 2 units? I read somewhere that you need a unit of 10+ infantry. A Sorceress on a Dark Steed is a very good choice, she is very fast, has vanguard, feigned flight and can stay with a fast-cav bunker. For some Lores, like Dark and Death, the steed...

What about a potion of toughness? Unlike the one-use 4++ this item lasts the whole turn. I´d never know when to drink the potion, T6 for a turn is good but I can´t know beforehand when to expect a stray magic missile. With the Opal Amulet I don´t have to guess ahead, and it´s also better against a ...

So bring a lvl 2 Scroll Caddy and a lvl 4 wizard that gets to dispel with the DD.
