Just to show that COK are worth every point...

My forces of Chaos were allied alongside the Dark Elves in 8K (4K per person on each side) yesterday against a force of Undivided Chaos with a force of Tzeentch. Shockingly, the COK failed a stupidity test (with their general present), and we didn't lose In one turn, they charged a tzeentchian unit,...

The easiest way is with a reasonably large block of hand to hand troops. Providing you force the frenzy charge, and take it in the front (passing fear) then the odds are against the Thirster. With its 8 attacks (I think its 8 attacks) it has to kill +3 (ranks) +1 (outnumber) and if you have a banne...

Would you say your revision of the Dark Elves is more or less "extreme" than the one applied to the Dark Eldar?

Rock don`t you find it the least bit cheesy that a chaos dragon can have a 3+ward save against shooting for only 30pts that combined with a chaos lord who is a level4 wizard(that can heal him self if he as the blood blade!) on top of that is just brutal and ny unstopable, unless if your enemy is in...

Yeah it affects it 1/3 of the game. Which ain't to bad if you're fighting slow dwarfs. When you are fighting an enemy that can actually charge you when you fail you're in big trouble. The list of those armies is long.... My experience of COK's (and knights in general) is that they have a character ...

Secondly, Rork, you cannot "rescue" a character that is in a challenge... once wounded with the clubberer, anything by itself is going to get beat by combat resolution in some way... What I meant was, assuming it lives, I would try to send a unit to lend a hand. Once a character is in a challenge i...

Other races have sick wards. Golden eye of Tzeentch (3+ ward vs missiles for both rider and steed, whether monstous or no), gaze of the gods (for 30 pts, its good since its the start of the chaos magic phase and you can attempt to rally before that happens, on Ld9, and of course its a 4+ ward and y...

Secondly the point was, Rork, that other races have items that can kill BT with the same percentage chance as the redesigned venom sword. That is why I allowed the redesign of the venom sword. May I ask what they are? The Orcs don't have a super-killy weapon (the clubber is in a sideways fashion (b...

Here is the original reason I allowed the venom sword change: Consider this, Rork listen as well. Many races have a weapon that is deadly, but let us examine this sleeper of a weapon and one I use quite often with orcs. Kurbog's Curmudgeonly Clubberer. Rule: when 1 wound is inflicted the enemy mode...

I too voted 50%. I'm trying to be realistic and based on the information I have, that is what I have concluded. What about you Rork? Unsurprisingly, 0-10% (but not 0%).

BT is a Bloodthrister. Rork does have a point though. The sword is quite potent against monsters, especially with the additions. This is the venom sword proposal in case you have not seen it. I do? Wow. My suggestion was that monstrous targets (those on bases 40mm or larger) would take D3 wounds in...

Too powerful? Let's see, a butt-naked DE assassin on a mission is 165 points, and requires a roll of 11 or 12 on 2D6 to kill off a chaos lord. In fact, his chances are roughly even to wind up dead! I was thinking of adding an additional clause: Lord level characters worth more than 300pts are so po...

What percentage of the petition would you be happy with?

I think it is reasonable to say that *if* GW does implement your petition, they probably won't implement it all. So...how much *would* keep you happy?
