How is it smart ass to quote a rule and pointing out the correct part? It is more smart-assery to state the "question" as a fact. I suggest you re-read your first post and then come back with an actual question instead of stating facts that aren't true and then asking for confirmation... I...

Never, ever forget how nastilly 10 CoK hitting the flank of any infantry block can be, and how detrimental to the survival of said infantry the situation is. Disruption removes supporting attacks, and steadfast, and especially if you contact a horde with it, you get to make a very, very real chance...

I'm wondering why you only have Heroes. Is it a tournament rule? Otherwise it's 50% characters total for your army (25% heroes, 25% lords on total). So you could get a lord, which is usefull for ld 10! So maybe drop a hero and fit in a Lord. I had originally taken it to boost the Steadfast LD from 8...

You couldn't find it because it isn't there :)

Units move normally their movement and double that when marching.

It's only for charging and fleeing that units move M+2d6 (or 3d6 pick highest two).

Apparently taking banners isn't exactly "less optimal" since you need them in at least 1 of the scenario's. Having 2 or 3 banners for a 2k games costs about what? 50 pts max? No real disadvantage there, especially if it means you won't auto-lose 1 in 6 games. There are new rules, and some ...

yes...the definition of casting is clear. However, rules are not made with a single word and it needs sentences. So for once and for all...in english grammer..."Any Wizard attemting to cast a spell within 12"..etc." Refers to the wizard being within 12". Whatever he does there is...

The FAQ also refers to "Common Magic Items". So DE have a similar magic item that does the same, only a little different and for 10 pts extra then the common equivalent... I say we have access to both since our Potion isn't listed under "Common Magic Items". Quite simple really. ...

problem isn't how easy it is to wound it is how many wounds you have. At least in my experience in 7th a RBT could weather a few shots because 1-2 wounds would go on the bolt thrower. Now 2 sixes spell the end of a 100pt model. That's what I think anyways, for all I know I could be completely wrong...

On the top of my head I believe that units shooting from a hill can use an extra rank. The BRB doesn't say it matters wether they're shooting up another hil or not. Shooting down is a big advantage to shooting up, but if they're standing on a hill you should be able to use the extra rank, logical or...

are your warriors now at base cost of 7? So including a shield 8? It's wrong to compare them to other armies and models, because that's not what to cost of models is based on.
