Re: ETC Openhammer
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...

Re: Best Dark Elves Units in AoS
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

Re: Best Dark Elves Units in AoS
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...

Re: Noxious Breath Range unlimited?
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 ...

Re: AoS army list casual game, Lord Sangfroid v the Goretide
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

Re: My thoughts on Age of Sigmar
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...

Re: My thoughts on Age of Sigmar
"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...

Re: Army "list"
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...

Re: Welcome to the Age of Sigmar
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...

Re: Welcome to the Age of Sigmar
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.

Re: How I break AOS
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...

Re: AoS army list casual game, Lord Sangfroid v the Goretide
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...

Re: Best Dark Elves Units in AoS
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 ...

Re: My thoughts on Age of Sigmar
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...

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 ...
