I think a small unit of them without anything fancy could find a spot in some armies. They look cool though. If I was playing a Corsair themed army I would likely take a ten or so man unit just for the models. I play them in a 10 unit for those reasons: - they look great, - in a small 105pts unit, ...

I had a good fun against Brets using DR with rhb and run circles around their lances, shooting, occasionnally kill one and never stay in the arc of charge. It was in a small game against an unexperienced player. I had less fun against same player when he used well the damsel and the Life Lore. I wil...

The Empire player may field 3 mages backed with a few handgunners, one cannon and a unit of chivalry (that is one of my favorite setup as Empire player). That would allow him to dominate the magic phase (only the ring is a problem) and the shooting phase. If ever anyone gets too close, the cavalry c...

@Master of Arneim You're not fair in your computations: You did not take in your estimations the following points: 1- AP brought by the banneer 2- the idea to win combat, mostly through SCR. You computed some killing expectations that did not take into account points 1- nor 2-. The idea is not to sh...

There are some discussions about different uses for corsairs handbows.
See Corsair Handbows.
They are not necessarily useless.
The question remains: how does it compare to MXB?

Master BSB - Standard of Hag Graef, GW, HA, SDC, rhbx2 = 168 20 Corsairs - FC Banner of Murder and rhb's = 250 points make it 253 pts for 2nd rhb frontage of 7 gets 16 shots (=> 18 shots) ...x2 before combat (assuming they were able to shoot the first time at 8") and attacks 1st with static CR...

Two slim babysitters are better than a single fat one. ============================================== 1 fat babysitter 20 Corsairs Deployed with 7 wide - FC w/ banner of murder and in it High Sorc - Lifetaker and Guiding Eye That is expansive for a unit which sole purpose is to babysit.

Well, that could be a way to behave:
"Look, this dice roll is very important, I'll take the red pair of dice.
- Now, for the Leadership test, let's take the black dice instead."
As long as both players agree and have fun (and have access to the same dice), why not?... once in a while.

Interesting to know that there are that many hills. The hills provide your friend multiple advantages: - he can put his gunline in two ranks on the hill and have all of them shoot. This allows him to have more guns per width. - from the hill, they can see above your screening units. - Eventually hil...

Supreme Sorceress - Level 4 - Lore of Metal hope that the Stank moves forward, otherwise at 24" you'll expose the sorc to retaliatory shooting from other troops Sorceress - Level 2 - Dark Peggy - Lore of Dhar - Focus Familiar excellent Sorceress - Level 2 - Dark Peggy - Lore of Dhar - Not sure...

Purely shooty Empire, eh, and he dislikes terrain, of course! No wonder why you have trouble. He is going to have max 4 cannons: he can target any big threat at any distance. Very bad for hydras. Bad also for your BG über-unit, because the ring of darkness does not affect cannons. If he takes Outrid...

One thing to consider, the hits are now automatic (that is the only change compared to previous edition - along with hatred, it does not justify the peice doubling). So it brings an average of 7 hits and 7 wounds. Strenght 3 is less than normal for a master, but it is the norm for a sorceress, who h...

Once upon a time... (in real History) The King of Denmark and the King of Norway were arguing about who should keep Greenland when the two kingdoms were getting separated. They agreed not to go on war for just an icy piece of frost. Instead, they played dice. The King of Norway rolled a double 6. Th...

RAW, Shadoblades "is in combat", nowhere it mentions that he has charged.
So no overrun.
It makes sense, there is no momentum to justify the overrun.

Are you supposed to tell your opponent what magic items you have? there are spells like "Vaul's unmaking" that makes your enemy reveal items! You are supposed to play WYSIVYG. When you wish to make an exception, you need to tell your opponent how your model is supposed to look like (i.e. ...

I experienced an hydra against brets. Incredibly strong. It took a charge from a lance, received a single wound and had to flee only because of combat resolution. That was pretty much my last surviving unit at that time. An assassin is good as well, but must stay inside his mother unit (not what I d...

I must mention that game when the trolls got so intelligent that they ruined my son's plans: I put my hydra 3" in front of the 4 trolls so as to flame-breath at them and help them charge me despite stupidity, because my son was so eager to see them in combat. Unexpectedly, they suceeded the stu...

Shadowblade is a good idea, but I believe someone mentioned a few posts back he can't be placed in an Anvil unit for some reason or another. For the love of Grungni/Sigmar/Kaine. This must be the one hundredth time on 12 different sites. YOU CANNOT PUT SHADOW BLADE IN THE ANVIL OF DOOM. Read his ru...

CoK do suffer sometimes from stupidity. However, it is not as often as 1 turn out of 6: - they don't suffer anymore during melee - they don't suffer anymore when killed or fleeing. So there are usually many turns when you won't even test the stupidity. However, I understand your interest to mitigate...

Tip 91. Balance your army. There are 5 phases. None is a game-winner by itself. Shooting will not win you games, however dense it is. Magic will will not realiably win you games, despite Power of Darkness. Psychology will hardly ever win you games (possibly against goblins). Movement cannot win you ...

The interesting use of it is that it is enchanted. So you can take it along with the arcane PoD staff on your lev 4 sorc. That should help you in a high level sorcery battle.
4/10.

Would you consider to add your good ideas to an existing thread?
