Re: How to beat ogre guns?

Yah your peg lord on the charge is murder town each chariot, and it has almost zero chance of killing you back with shooting. Either it risks it all on 1 st10 no save shot and you get a 3++ or it grape shots and you get a 4+/3++. In any case the odds of it taking you out are very low and the odds of...

Re: Sorceress in second rank..vortex?

I am not sure what is inferred by shooting in second rank, but yes the spell can be cast but those in the front rank will suffer the spells effect.

Re: Vampire Counts. And How to Deal with them.

So how often do vampires take Nightshroud? Because I feel Nightshroud is very powerful in challenges and it's probably the elves' worst nightmare If you see a blender lord on the field, assume he has the Nightshroud. Its powers are huge and makes it so that a vamp lord only has to worries about off...

Re: Dark rider bus possible?

As some one who has been playing the brolock bus let me go over a few quick points. 1 People are right that the threat is in one place, same can be said if you do dark riders though. You will not have much of a second punch threat its that simple. 2 Warlocks hit harder in hand to hand, dark riders w...

Re: What works best for you against shooting-heavy armies?

Bring more guns. If you out shoot the other person then you are the heavy shooting list.
IE I generate something like 108 shots per turn, over 90% are only st3 ap, and roughly 10% are st4 ap.

Cauldron and GW's inability to make clear intent.

Right so the Cauldron of blood, great chariot thing but has a few massive grey areas. The one I wish to focus on today is simple. It travels alone for any reason(unit died around it or it left unit) so its totally alone on the field by itself out of range of BSB and general. It gets into combat and ...

Black guard are the nasty of the nasty, they will grind up anything they hit, this I damn near promise you.

Simple question that makes for a unclear suggestion as to the answer.
Power of darkness gives +1 strength, so does a mount get the bonus? Horse go st4 cold ones st5? Or it does not work?
