First list can go either way but the second would surely NEED a high sorceress. The reason is simple, you need a general with leadership 9. The Hag can then be a BSB and you keep a slight leadership bonus. Also, a single sorceress means you only need to protect one, not two characters from hunters. ...

First of all, I second Rorks advice. However, if you truly are interested in being a body guard, I recommend you go searching for some info on the job. The only things I know of bodyguards is something I saw on a tv-special about 6 years ago or so, but supposedly, it isn't the easiest of jobs. What ...

Awesome. Nice idea and beautiful execution. The only very minor point I have with it, however, is that is a bit rough for Druchii. I'd imagine Druchii would have smooth polished rock surface all over, but that is basically just nitpicking.

Exactly. I think I actually said that quite clearly:

I wrote:Now, normally, you cannot attack the machine because the crew is in front of the machine (unless you have a flank charge or possibly spears).

Generally a solid balanced list, but three small points to consider: 1. The CoK are awfully expensive for such a small unit. They are by far the most obvious target in the list. Black guard being the obvious second. Killing a couple will seriously hinder the unit and will severly limit the use of th...

The problem with the spell is as follows: The spells causes close combat attacks. However, close combat attacks have one thing this spell does not state: a base from which they come (well, a model with a base). Normally, this does not matter as the spell deals with characters in units. Against war m...

I agree that the Black Staff is questionable What is so questionable about it? Seems pretty fair priced to me and besides, with the amount of power that DE sorceresses can wield, the list really doesn't need offensive bound spells for added power. Lizardmen and the like do not need any either. Even...

You know Lethalis, it is quite funny. Most of the time you make quite valid and good points, which is something quite scarce on the forums, but some of your responses almost look like they are deliberatly missing the point. How, for example, is the new army less good in a defensive role as the old a...

On the originial subject: The dwarfs would never have sided with Malekith. Dwarfs indeed rule by royal blood, however, that is not really terribly defining for dwarfs. What is defining for the little buggers is their sense of tradition. And by tradition, Malekith got rejected by the elven gods and w...

- The ability to lead the "I want to finally die but I was once young and stupid and wished for immortality"-support group. (This is the not selfish bit, screw world peace, with all these wishes going on) - To be a good dancer and musician. - To age handsomely. I do not really need that mu...

I think the only time this will matter is tournaments, when you just have to decide and stick with your lists. I expect that in tournaments you would be stuck with flaming attacks and they would be immune to them. In friendly games that's such a minor tweak to your list per opponent that only the m...

Actually, would corsairs with killing blow and frenzy actually be better than witch elves with killing blow against high armour targets? What with no poison using up thier precious wound rolls? No. Against WS4+, T3 and a 1+ save, a single corsair attack with killing blow does on average: 1/6 A witc...

That's sooooooooooo not how math works. Who said it was math? I simply wrote wich saves the HE/DE would get against what strenght, and proved my point that the "non-cheesy" and commonly accepted Armour of Caledor+Vambraces of Courage setup works better against S3 and S4 attacks than the a...

I'd say that a 2+ Rerollable Armoursave and a 4+ Wardsave (HE dragonrider setup by default.) is about as good as the 3+ Armour, Reverse Ward, Regen. HE setup rocks vs S3/S4 Armourpiercing shooting, DE setup rocks vs Warmachine shots. Against S3: 2+/2+/4+ (HE) 2+/5+*/4+ (DE) HE wins by a longshot. (...

i am not so sure here... made a couple of rolls. even a normal 2000k magic force with 2 level2s, 2 scrolls which has one additional ban dice (maybe steals one of your p.d.) is able to hold you down for very long time. instead of the dagger you can take 2 powerstones which cost less (40 vs 35 points...

i just realized the casting values of the new spells are still the same! wth the +1 gone it's close to impossible to get a single spell off with 1 dice only. so we are forced to use this level0 crap - and we need 2 dice for that to be sure... milney, you said the staff of sorcery is in. we don't ha...

I think my Dragon lord will wear Armour of Eternal Serviture (35) <<Reverse Ward Save>> (35) Sword of Might (15) Null Shard (15) lovely I think your dragon lord will be illegal. Two talismans. DE certainly got a bunchload of very powerfull and usefull items. Cheap magical lances, nastier swords, aw...

Dear god people can whine . I remember how this site used to spawn numerous threads how a critically failed stupidity test blew their whole battleplan and made a certain massacre into a draw or whatever. Now, people have a way, no no brainer way, but a way, to make sure that that doesn't happens and...

This is actually very funny. GW makes one of their best decisions in quite a long time and no one gets it... Hasn't it ever occured to any of you that mundane options were in fact heavily underpriced? A GW is easily worth 20 points to a chaos lord on foot, now they cost that much (and since lords th...

Confused Counselor wrote: - Also, was it truly necessary to skip 20 years? Felix is 45ish now, and frankly, he cannot go on living and fighting like that forever. Or is that part of the plan? That Felix will at some point be to old, will be relieved from his vow and Gotrek will continue to roam the...

Actually, in an unarmoured and unarmed fight between a slender elf and a 150kg of pure muscle dwarf, I know who I would bet on...

First of all: Examples do not have to include the skill/skill or power/power ratio to be relevant. In fact, it is more appropriate if they do not, because by driving statements to the limits, you can actually see what a mechanism someone (in this case, you) supports implies. I said I disagreed with ...

Funny some of the arguments that are used: Morathi is more powerfull than Malekith, among others because Malekith is just your standard level 4 while Morathi has special rules that help her. You talk as if that's the only argument I've used. Picking one argument out of a list of your opponent's is ...

Funny some of the arguments that are used: Morathi is more powerfull than Malekith, among others because Malekith is just your standard level 4 while Morathi has special rules that help her. Later on you go and defend Morathi is more powerful than Teclis, who outclasses her by a lot on the magic dep...

Take it from someone who uses 16 plasma guns in his 40K army 16? Is that all? I have 44 in my 1500pt army... Last Chancers, I presume? Nah, I've heard of his army, it are drop troops, IIRC with that two special weapon doctrine. Basically as much plasma + a few melta's (I guess) as you can fit in an...
