Re: [PLOG] Holtkmoq's time to share

I've been getting a fairly constant couple of hours painting most nights and they've produced a couple more results! First up, one of my 3 chariots got a bit damaged at some point so I cut the mauler/gorebeast free of his restraints and will now be running him as a spawn/fallen beast. I can only tak...

Re: GW doing well, apparently

Well, that's not fair. I've been to New Zealand - you can literally relive the Lord of the Rings all day long if you wanted to . (Although I prefered the subtropical rainforesty bits...What were we talking about?) You aren't too wrong about the Lord of the Rings part, this is just up the road . I s...

Re: GW doing well, apparently

Yeah, I was wondering how the Brexit will influence the export of GW products (among others). For now, the low pound is boosting sales, but once the Brexit is in effect I wouldn't be surprised to see a steep price increase. You may be lucky enough to see how it feels to live in Australasia if you'r...

Re: Version 1.3 is out!

Divine blessing, clarification I'm a bit concerned with this one, by the looks of it the units that gained the blessing now lose it as soon as they move out of the 12" range. No more buffing my units up and sending them out all over the place All the rest looks good though, cheaper everywhere ...

Re: [PLOG] Holtkmoq's time to share

Yea I'm not keen on the head. I'd like to swap it out for something else so it's only tacked in there at the moment. My bits box is in a storage shed at the moment though so that's one for the future. The gap in the shoulder area is a bit of a shame too, it didn't really stand out until I got some p...

Re: [PLOG] Holtkmoq's time to share

Just a quick one and a bit day paint job for this guy. He snuck in between me dry brushing chariot pieces and turned out to be a fairly simple job. I was quite lost when I put the model together, I wanted to go grey to match the beasts pulling the chariots but it didn't feel like it would lend itsel...

Re: [PLOG] Holtkmoq's time to share

So my assassin doesn't look too bad in red but I wish the method I tried on the cloak had come out better. I tried to go from light to dark on the cloth as opposed to the usual dark to light way I paint. I figured that this way I could use thinner coats and get the paint to seep into the lower areas...

Re: ETC question

In your example they would cost 1 comp point as the first mounted character is "free" and then you pay 1 comp point for every 2 mounted characters from there on. The part thereof means that you pay the comp point even if you were to only take one of the 2 mounted characters. I'm having a b...

That's the answer I was looking for Couple all that with the line in Malekiths entry that states all enemy models in base contact must reveal their magic items. It does not limit this to characters and so makes any model a target for the Destroyer. Most of these targets just don't have any magic ite...

Malekith destroying magic items

Say I get Malekith into a unit with a magic standard carried by a regular standard bearer (not the BSB). I have Malekith in base to base with the standard bearer, could I use Malekiths ability to destroy this item? I am leaning towards yes as I would target the rank and file troops and they just so ...

Okay, I see what you mean. 1+ save fliers would give Witches fits. I think that he means units of flyers that can be taken in just units of 1.

I have just put together a list for a teams tournament (etc style pairing) next year and I'm looking for a bit of feedback if anyone has any.
