May I refer to Empire Arcane "Cristal Ball"? Its description mentions: The enemy must reveal all "secrets" of his units in range. It includes which magic objects are in which unit, who is wearing them, the existence of concealed miniatures, disguised, hidden or normally invisible...

Just checked again. Frentch-spikkin' ork and goblin bosses do REPLACE chariot crewmembers, strange that Engleesh-spikkin' ones DIPLACE them! (they don't really speak, do they?). Note that you can hire an additional crewmember in O&G chariots, so you need not to " mek' roum for da boss ".

In the familiar description it is written it allows you to cast from a different position than your model.
So YES!

At first glance (book and recent threads) there seems to be many winning combination, none being obviously above.

Look Shadowblade: if hidden in an enemy's unit, it takes two steps: 1. place Shadowblade 2. Remove one of the model of that unit (who has been killed). Result: Remove = REPLACE. If revealed in a friendly unit, it takes two steps: 1. place the assassin in the front rank 2. Move an ordinary model to m...

Re: A couple of things in the new book...

Edit: Thought of another one. Put an assassin in a unit of shades (with GWs!), and put them in a wood, 3" from the edge; that way they're nice and safe, 'cos they can't be seen. Then, at the start of your next turn, pop out the assassin, who displaces a shade, which you then put anywhere withi...

Mengil's RAW mentions ordinary RXB (no specific description) with Black Venom (and not ordinary poison).
The RXB are improved (AP), but the new black venom is useless for missiles!
Overall, the Manhide RXB gain AP but loose poison effectiveness.

With my sons I initially played many tiny games at less than 1000pts. Good to understand how your units work. Then understand your weaknesses, and select your next unit to buy so as to mitigate that. We are still enjoying the "patrol" rules for 400 pts or less, it is a great fun and allows...

Army book prevents the Death Hag which CoB is the mount to leave her mount. The crew can leave only as a whole.
So the other hags cannot leave (at least, RAW speaking, untill the DH has been killed - and I hardly imagine, with the DH dead, one or two Hags surviving and selecting to leave the CoB).

I found harpies to be very valuable under 6th ed. However, they are not that effective in HtH: what they don't kill strikes back and they die easily, which makes them loose the combat, then with low Ld they run away. They are also vulnerable to shooting: anything kills two of them and they run away....
