Re: Best Magic Items in the New Book?

My biggest disappointment is the banner of Nagarythe. A 25pt drop in cost and the loss of giving +1 CR to all DE units in range. This ability was definately worth more than 25pts ( as suggested by the cost of the war banner) This banner is supposed to be "the thing", the personal banner of...

Re: Can I do this with Witch Elves?

you'll need a good flanking unit and exe's fit the theme quite nicely, depending on your playing enviroment you could run them 6-7 wide and 3-5 ranks deep or just go the whole hog and have a horde of them ATM im personally running a horde of 40 exe's full command next to the witches/couldron combo

Re: biggest nerf -- biggest buff -- opinions

im not to impressed with our signature spell "power of darkenss" it does nothing that can't be better replicated by taking lore of beasts, and a downside of maybe giving you a wound Obviously not much of a problem for a lvl3-4 who will probably have soul stealer to help keep those wounds u...

executioner's axe, blood armour with the ASF banner, great at killing ogre characters
against RnF split your attacks between 2 ogres, unless you roll really poorly you should kill them.

and any spells that require In checks

these have worked well for me so far....

yeah looks ok and i know you want bodies on the table

but maybe drop the warriors raider and give them a DL, this'll keep a DL on the table for tank busting, while freeing up a few extra points for;

a hydra gauntlet here, a flesh gauntlet their, a stun claw. combat drugs etc etc

if you use your RHB corsairs right you should actually get about 80 shots off at a unit

move up and shoot ( 40 shots ) leaves you close enough to be charged next turn for another 40 shots.

using the guiding eye is a matter of preference. I tend to use it when i get charged.
