Sharpen that axe...

Time to rally the troops. Time for you to fight for what you believe in. Time for the loudest druchii flame in history. Hmmm...flame-tastic...but this time I am going to be my normal civil self... I am asking you all to head on over to the GW message board and tell those mindless blokes who are sla...

Re: The Dark Elf Revision II

b. The DE repeater crossbows (rxb) are too expensive at 6 points. We request a reduction in points cost for this item from 6 points to 5 points since, Errr...explain to me why decreasing the points value by 1 is really worthwhile in the grand scheme of things...it is a little too pendantic, wouldn'...

For the touch of death if they wanted it to be an assassin only thing they shouln`t have overpriced it and should have simply put assassins only (like they did for the hag and witch brew). I can understand it being 5pts more - in the hands of an assassin (so to speak), it has the potential to be ve...

Re: The Dark Elf Revision II

Not Completed Yet. Highlights: a) Touch of Death, (killing blow) is 25 points. I think the point of that being 30pts was to stop it being given to WE champions... and in the hands of an assassin with high WS who always strikes first when revealed (and against most things, every round), I can see wh...

Actually there is large speculation that Khaine is in fact Khorne Khaine is a seperate god according to WHFRP and is actually the younger brother of Morr, god of Death. The "recent" (errr, 2nd ed) stuff in 40k says that Khaine is a seperate god, but is a god that combines aspects of Khorne and Slaa...

But don't you want something different for DE?

I've pretty much come to the conclusion Rork likes facing weak Dark Elf armies as a means to support his own self-belief he is a skilled general. No one else with any ethical sense about them would think the list was just fine as is. But, at least Rork believes in changing the Cauldron. I may get i...

I was talking about the American WD 257, with the Arco-Flagellant on the cover. It has the interview with Gav where he talks about DE. Surely that's a preview? A taster if you will... (not in UKWD257) You know, just because something is debated is not a reason to take a stand on it. For example, th...

Sorry Rork, but DE premiered in WD 257 and they did not get the cover that month. Just fished out my WD257, and the only releases for fantasy are necrarch and von carstein vampires, wights and bats. It does say DE next month, in 258... Is your WD the UK one? I'm not trying to be polite right now. I...

Re: The Dark Elf Revision

Option 1: This unit is granted Killing Blow 5+. The extra cost is 1 point. This unit would now behave effectively against other units such as spearmen, knights etc. if they did not manage to break the unit on their charge. *Cough* 1pt for KB on 5+? That's quite a curious option for a unit you've go...

Hey Guys, 1. DE did not even get the cover of WD when they were premiered. That went to Gav's other project, Inquisitor. And what would you call WD258? Looks like DE to me... 3. Our first two batreps in WD were losses. Nobody else got treated that way. Then, he did that BS batrep against Chaos, whi...

Re: Still needs more...

However, the points difference should not be taken into considereation. I can KB a Tzeentch Lord with a few exces and that isn't exactly fair for the cost difference. Malekith can be killed by a magic missile thrown by some puny L1 mage and that's worse by far than a lord killing a bloodthirster wi...

Venom Sword – 75 points – (errata) – In addition to the given abilities the bearer always strikes with strength one more than the opponent’s toughness up to a maximum of strength 6. This makes this weapon far too good - you are looking at a reasonable strength (sometimes hig...

Magic Weapons *The old weapon is hardly as good as the gauntlet of power, yet has the same restrictions. Having a strength double that of T5 (S10) is really not very useful, its overkill, yet having strength double that of T3 (S6) is not very good at all, this has an adverse effect on armour saves,...

I shall back up Rork's argument here... you cannot compare Skeleton Heavy Horsemen - which are core troopers, used for flank strikes or holding up the enemy with numbers, to Cold One Knights which are a heavy hitting cavalry. Horsemen will not win combat on their own (unless you plan on charging a ...

Firstly I would like to congratulate on offering us an Army list that (imo) can not be easilly tagged as 'overpowered' or in anyway aimed at giving new players a crytch army to throw money at.

normal movement means just that. charging has to be declared before you reveal the hidden unit so therefor it cannot charge. there is no room for any other interpretation. read the banner again and then the rules for when declaring charges. you can't declare charges with a unit that isn't on the ta...

Apples and oranges - each unit fullfills a completely different role. With Heavy Horse (and lets face it, they're more medium cavalry than heavy cav) you're not going to win combat due to heavy hitting and wounding. CoKs on the other hand...I've yet to face an enemy who isn't deathly afraid of the ...
