I applaud these guys' moxy and I hope it works but although I'm not a lawyer this is all way too close to WHFB for GW's lawyers to ignore IMHO. In fact there's more than GW out there, DnD (wizards of the coast), Tolkien estate (and New line cinema), possibly even game developers who worked with GW a...

Gw has images of dark elves on small round bases in some of the books, the White Dwarf I think but I'm not sure. It looks good for wilder models, like Corsairs. I'm not sure I like it equally on dreadspears. Yeah absolutely - I started to assemble a new unit of WEs on round bases yesterday and they...

I missed this - sounds good and if so ... brilliant! But the only Aelf images I've seen are the current Dark Elf range on round bases and I have no idea if they GW images or player images

what will they have for us? [...] My one worry is whether the new models will be aesthetically compatible with the current ones. I'm afraid probably not. Yeah I'm guessing that too. But my prediction is that any models will be for new armies per se and neither compatible with the former Elf races a...

And yet it would have been so easy to catch and fix, as Dalamar's suggested revision did so fluidly. Great but you're completely wrong. Dalamar's suggested revision means precisely the opposite of what he intended to mean, and what you seem to think it means. There is little wrong with the GW line ...

Saw this on BoLS earlier. It's a really good and balanced POV and not what I was expecting TBH

BTW I was wrong about compromising with D.Riders for shooting - they're good. Let me know how you get on with those corsairs I have 40, 20 with 2 hand weapons and 20 left to assemble, so if the handbows are useful I'd be very interested

For the purpose of the rule the first part of the second sentence defines "it". Not if we're both speaking English. "It" is a pronoun that usually refers to the noun object in the clause in which "it" is used, "it" is not necessarily always the Subject noun o...

"of it" is my addition, as an example that the difference between writing bad, ambiguous rules and concise, clear ones is often as little as four letters. The "of it" you added actually makes the line more confusing and ungrammatical than GW's confused and barely grammatical lin...

The way I read the description, they retain two hand weapons even with handbows, sure it is two of the weaker weapon, but it is more than offset by additional 2 ranged attacks. I'd have another read of the rules. Corsairs have either 1 vicious blade and 1 wicked cutlass or 1 vicious blade and a rep...

Shooting at targets hiding behind a tower is not permitted. Line of sight is required, as explained in the chapter on attacking. AFAICS the hellcannon's doomfire rules are that it can fire at "an enemy unit within range, even if it is not visible to the Hellcannon". I read Killerk and tho...

Like when you wizard is behind an obelisk or building and he gets double shot by a single cannon, that makes for a fun game, st there is no rule to say you cant see through terrain, or that they block anything. At firs glance the system didn't seem all that bad, after playing by the rules, you real...

Age of sigmar or not, we still have the hobby aspect which trancends the rules. So many of us will still be intrigued if you post some pics of your dark elves. As for rules, well the forum does have different sections for all you gaming needs. Welcome aboard. This - I took almost 10 years off from ...

I used to regularly for fun have a mock battle character v character with my brothers armies. We'd face Morathi off against Wurrzag or Malekith against Azagh. Or Maulus Darkblade against Grom the Paunch. (The only times I ever won was with Cult of Slaanesh Morathi). We did it for fun not seriously a...

Looks good to me, but as a player about to field a Dreadlord on a dragon I'd make use of the Exiled Warhost battalion rules/bonus. To do that you'd have to drop the corsairs for 2 units of RxBs, and 1 of Spears, and drop one of the D. Riders for CoKs. The 25 BG should complement this set-up quiet we...

Great work here - especially on the faces. Well done!

I love the Master with Battle Standard's Treachery and Power ability. Late in the game your Dreadlord's down to one wound left? Cut his throat and let the young blood take command of the army. Agreed - at first glance this seems pointless but actually its one of the most tactical things you can do ...

1 - I like points 2 - I like characters 5 - Who cares if WFB is unsupported Even though I'm pro-AoS, I can't really argue with any of that. It's the best reasoned anti argument I've seen yet (maybe the only reasoned one). Ditto I stopped playing WFB because of 8th (horde rules encouraged cheesy pow...

I have a closet full of unopened WFB boxes because I have a spending issue and never enough time. AoS seems better paced to players like me. I just hope the game still presents enough of a challenge in a few months time. Honestly there are obvious drawbacks to AOS but it's the first thing in two ed...

Well given that I've been waiting 12 years for new Witch Elves I'm not gonna complain that these have limited poses. Although the price is about €5 too steep for my liking I'm still gonna buy them. Also anyone with D Eldar Wych bitz laying around should be able to get so Sisters of Slaughter convers...

The Anointed's base is 20mm - the same as every other Elf.

A plastic alt for Morathi would be the sorcoress in the New DE Black Dragon Kit (there are 2 bodies & 2 heads & 1 set of legs for sorceresses in that kit but you could always bitz order another set of legs from a bitz site). There's also the finecast Leleth Hesperax from the Dark Eldar range...

My advice for the future is not to use plastic glue as it will bond two surfaces by melting them together. Super glue is good and can be broken apart without damaging the models, also there are unbonding solutions for super glue. Personally I h8 gw plastic glue. Ditto here - never use plastic glue ...

I'm not a fan of this new Chaos Manticore (or the chimera) but I'm much less of a fan of the internet drama about it. Sure it may not the best (and looks from all the photos to be amongst the worst) of Trish's work but 'nuff said. Your points are well made and the raging heroes Manticore looks good ...

I'm loving the new Dark Eldar range but a bit of work needs to be done to port some models to WHFB. The list below id my 2c on what works between the two ranges. *Lelith is almost perfect as either a Sorceress, Death Hag or base for Helebron. *Succubus I thought would make a good Hag or Sorcoress.
