...and they don't seem to receive much love from GW lately now, do they?

Sarcasm aside, I really like the idea of TK being an Egyptian-mythology-based undeads. That's a really refreshing twist in the otherwise very plain faction of undeads.

"High Elves ignore all these restrictions as they have the Elite Army special rule." - This regards the new army composition rules which require a minimum or maximum % of the points to be invested in specific category of units i.e. core special etc...

This rule HE army rules bothers me.

Lame. I will buy the game since I have a Collector's Edition pre-order but I am less and less impressed with what I see. Probably it will be a good game, even nice maybe. But still the TRVE Warhammer franchise deserves more than that. I hate to see the WH game being a pale shadow of WoW. PC games ma...

Jaa, Rune of Khaine is one of the two bases upon which all Assassin combos are built, with the other one being Rending Stars. Pretty much, a straightforward item. If you are going to include an Assassin, you can't really afford not to take one. As for Death Hag... I don't plan to use one anytime soo...

Calisson, I must say I sincerely appreciate your work and the way you endeavor to sort out the massive volume of information that the new edition brought to our forum. Each community needs such people Now, on topic - Rending Stars I guess if we are to apply the min-max strategy we should optimize th...

Apparently - nobody knows how to deal with them. I guess one must win the game in order to neutralize the stanks ^^

Point taken, numbers - fixed. 40pts item for 4,4 wounds dealt on a miserable archery unit in 12" range, once in the game? No deal. But in a very rare occasion you may actually reliably take out a war machine crew in a single turn, while Lifetaker will need 2 turns for example. Indeed Hydra's Te...

Hehe, you put it nicely, Mordru. Calisson, go mate, go! (Or should I say - Aspiring Executioner?) Deliver us from primordial chaos and lend us thy DRAICH-organized purity. :}}} I support the way to go that you proposed. Well, since Dagger of Hotek actually got here uninvited it will have to wait for...

Now what? Shouldn't we run the discussion in a more organized manner? Like talking about the items in some kind of order, probably item category at least. Maybe it's just too early to start a serious talk on that matter since most people around don't actually have access to the book. "no one&qu...

Sorry, I am playing a tournament of DotA right now and I'm a little absent-minded. Death Hag is out of question indeed. I am not really sure if the Beastmaster Scourge combo is legal. I have the feeling that dagger of hotek is actually meant to be combined with a "normal" hand weapon only,...

Dagger of Hotek - 3/10 I can't find a place for it in any of my lists, even if I like how it looks like on paper, with that fancy ASF rule. In order to take advantage of the +1A bonus for two hand weapons you character must be on foot, so basically I can't see myself taking it, when I can opt for an...

A descent item. Not too good, not too bad, just descent. I never really used it since against armies with lots of ItP units it's completely irrelevant. Yes, you can still charge without testing for fear/terror yourself, but heck... 50pts for that is too much, especially with our naturally high LD. W...

I never really payed attention to the exact cost/stats of special characters until recently. Now I'm starring at Karnak, Hound of Vengeance and I'm trying to compare it to our own champions - Kouran and Tullaris. Karnak and Tullaris both have Fear and Hatred, one has re-roll to wound against specifi...

Good luck with VC, I'm eager to find out the result

Beware the ethereal units..

We want more! I am carefully tracking the progress of your army benji and I'm happy with your results. I guess the only thing left for discussion in such a list is the Character equipment. Army composition is pretty much obvious with mandatory units of Harpies and DRs. As I see it, there are two way...

If I take a list with CoB - I'll take frenzied corsairs any time. 3 S3 KB attacks is the way to go. In such combination Corsairs can substitute both WEs and Executioner's while being core. Against low-armored foes I will give Corsairs +1A (for a total of 4!) and against high-armored foes I'll go for...

I would like to wait for you to actually play a few games with that updated composition and let us know how it worked out. I hope it goes well since I plan to use a similar list myself and your reports are gonna be much appreciated. Alternatively you may try to reduce models on the CoK Unit and repl...

Interesting, the very first list I tried to put together after I saw the changes in the new edition was pretty similar to yours. I got disappointed with the Manticore Master however. It's just ain't worthy to have such an expensive unit with Manticore being freaking T5 with no Armor Save and not THA...

I support Drasanil and share most of his concerns. Look, we all know who GW are and how have they enriched our lives with their creation, namely - Warhammer Fantasy. If we dislike more things than we actually like in it we would have abandoned it long ago. But here we are and that means we really ap...

Am I correct that only "new edition" army books - Orcs, Dwarves, Empire, VC, Daemons, DE could use special characters? I mean these books are actually written in the new format. Or other races could still use their respective named characters as well? Anyway, I am not keen on the idea of s...

I think it will be a very interesting GT season this year. The scenarios will make quite a difference I believe as we see the 3 big armies vying for the win.

Care to explain? What 3 armies do you refer to?

Urm, guys? I am not familiar with high-level warhammer, namely GW GTs and I would like to ask you about something that strikes me as strange. Special Characters are allowed? I mean how's that balanced... at all? Now, see that I haven't actually played much games with or against such named characters...

Same for dragon/manticore lord who is stuck behind enemy lines. Maybe this should only be used in conjunction with the BSB for a re-roll of that LD test however.

sweet :}

Just perfect for a CC character that needs to stay engaged in combat and can't just break the enemy with the initial charge.

First - win, then - win again, then - win again, then - draw, then - massacre him to the point of no return. The fourth step of this carefull battle plan is supposed to lure your opponent into a certain level of joy and everestimation of his powers to make it eaier for you to bitterly crush him aft...
