Thank you. They were indeed Marauder Horsemen bits.

Bits question - Norse heads

I saw a post from 2012 on another site which contained this photo of Blood Bowl Norse Berserkers. I am trying to figure out what bits this guy "Fitch Face" used for the heads, but I can't remember where I've seen them before. I know I recognize these head bits, but I can't for the life of ...

Dark Peg and units

I've seen a couple of people in 8th ed that play with a character on Dark Pegasus and let's him join a unit. I'm pretty sure we couldn't do that under 7th ed rules. but I just can't seem to find any rules against it in 8th ed. A character can't join a unit of flyers, but is there a rule against a fl...

DE Blood Bowl conversions (Help needed)

I'm considering making a DE Blood Bowl team, but I'm a bit stuck on how to convert the models needed for a full team, especially when it comes to torsos. I have some Dark Eldar Warrior sprues which must be from an earlier OOP version, because they don't look like the current models. The sprues have ...

Thanks for your post! Hmm, it sounds a lot like putting all my eggs in one basket. Putting 10 CoKs + Dreadlord + BSB in one unit sounds like I have to gamble on a one trick pony, which really doesn't sound like my playstyle. As for 40 Spears in one unit, isn't horde units a bit expensive for Elves? ...

2500 pts, returning for 8th ed

I just recently got the 8th ed rulebook and I'm not entirely up to date on the new rules and Magic items. I'm looking for a 2500pts list that I could take to the club without knowing what I'd be facing. Hopefully a list that doesn't involve purchasing too many additional models. I've been skimming t...

The CoB no longer has the Large Target rule, so I wouldn't worry about it. If you still want a huge Cauldron, you could outfit it with a big Khaine statue of some sorts. A big scary looking statue might cause the lesser races to feel Terror.

Deathpiercer is by far my favorite weapon in the new book. It is cheap enough to be combined with a total protection combo (AoES + PoK) on a Dreadlord and it may be used in combination with a shield. You gain the same great Strength bonus as with a normal Lance and in addition Killing Blow comes in ...

6 including any characters.
Any extra knights are unlikely to get into btb and be able to strike. Knights in the back rank will not get into btb at all (except maybe if flanked) and are not worth the amount of points they cost for just giving the extra unit strength.

Deathpiercer! It gives a nice KB bonus and is cheap enough to be combined with the total protection combo. It is also the cheapest way to upgrade my General's mundane Lance into something that can hurt Ethereals. Being a Lance it can even be combined with a shield Crimson Death is nice on a Tower Ma...

My first thought was "No Lances?". There's no need for your Peggie Masters to have to fight with Hand Weapons. Lances are cheap and give a much better punch on the charge. With the high mobility of the DP, your Masters will most often be charging into combat. Your Dark Riders should cost 9...
