Thanks, I figured it had already been addressed but my search-fu failed me miserably :-)

Not sure if this has been asked and answered already but is a unit with a CoB allowed to assault a building and if so, are there any implications? The Skaven Bell and plague furnace have very clear rules that allow them and their unit to assault buildings, albeit at the cost of d6 x S6 hits. There i...

The main objective is to keep all 3 units in contact and combat if possible when casulties are removed. In this instance, the chariot would be moved forward (and slightly down so that it doesn't hit the warriors) so that it is in contact with the dreadlord. Alternatively, if the chariot could not be...

Just one more point to add regarding the HPA/random movers coming in as reinforcements. Random movers move during compulsory movement phase while reinforcements come during the remaining moves phase. That being the case, the random movers only enter the board and stay where they are - they cannot ch...

The rules for shooting at characters in units are on page 99 under "Shooting" and are precisely as Taijushue indicated initially - all hits are allocated on the unit when more than 5 R+F are present.

If you are doing the one last go with the old book, then I think the BoHG on the CoKs is needed since it will likely be gone. Similarly, the banner of murder for the warriors would go well since we will have to pay nearly twice the price with the new book to get AP attacks. Other than that, looks li...

It's a great unit if you can get it into combats where its capabilities and cost are warranted (i.e. against high value targets). In my experience, the unit can be easily distracted by chaff due to frenzy causing overruns or pursuits that pull it far out of position or leave it vulnerable to a flank...

The stank is a supercharged chariot and the impact hits when it charges work exactly as detailed by Van awful, as is the case for any chariot. However, here are a few other items of note that pertain only to the stank due to its unique nature: 1) Grind attack - during subsequent turns when the stank...

Shadow is an excellent lore for dark elves and particularly for going against ogres. Every spell except for steed of shadows would be very useful and the lore is optimized for supporting combat. The three hexes are excellent and have long range, the direct damage are great against ogres since they a...

Looks like a fun list to fight ogres with. Here are a few observations and recommendations: 1) Gifts of Khaine - as per page 99, a model may not have multiples of the same gift so no double rune of khaine on the COB. However, as Calisson has pointed out, there is no need nor desire to put runes on t...

In addition to not being able to attempt any further dispels that turn, a wizard that fails a dispel attempt cannot cast that turn. Consequently, if you are planning on attempting a RIP dispel during your own magic phase, it might be advisable to save the attempt for the end if you also want to do s...

I usually employ the BoHG with my executioner block & a death hag BSB. However, this is an eggs in one basket list so almost the entire army ends up being built around servicing this unit as follows: 1) death hag build is defensive if any gifts are taken at all (5+ ward & -1 attack ). Also p...

One last change is to drop the focus familiar for a scroll. You will definitely want to stop any dreaded 13th that doesn't go off with irresistible force far more than an extra 6" range for a support wizard.

Dark elves allying with anyone, even other druchii, does not work well due to the fragility test for both players each turn degrading the alliance to desperate in very short order. Once this occurs, the magic phase will really suffer both offensively and defensively since the pool must be split equa...

There are three tweaks and two major changes to the list that I would recommend as follows: 1) Dreadlord - go with DP vice CO for better mobility, higher toughness, stomp & not having to worry about stupidity. Also, the xhw & shield don't work together. I would recommend the whip of agony or...

I like the new rule as it makes taking infantry worthwhile and relies a lot more on tactics and manoeuvre to negate ranks while combo charges are needed to negate steadfast. I really don't miss the days of a single bloodthirster/dragonlord being able to roll an entire army up simply by flying in and...

Yes, the wolfriders can indeed have a 4+ save and retain fast cav. It surprised me the first time as well when my buddy fielded "heavy cav" in his all gobbo list :-)

The FAQ gave both RHB & rending stars the quick to fire and multiple-shot special rules. However, the FAQ did not remove the first paragraph for RHB so they still have no range penalties while RS do. That being the case, the initial rules are correct except for adding +1 to hit due to multiple s...

I would recommend dropping your wizard entirely for three reasons: 1) sharing the power pool between 3 wizards means there really isn't enough for anyone; 2) Vamps need the magic far more than dark elves; and 3) you cannot fit a COB into the list if you have a wizard. Facing a monsters only WoC army...

Harkonenen,
Seemed clear when I wrote it but definitely not what I meant to say so I will clarify. Thanks for picking that up.

The spell description indicates that the wizard gains the PD and that these are added to those available to the sorceress (i.e. The sorceress now has two sources of power dice: 1) those from the power of darkness spell and 2) PD in the regular PD pool). Since the PD are not added to the regular pool...

Q1 - Yes, that is correct and an excellent reason to spend the extra points to bring a champ yourself. Also, it should be possible to direct several attacks on the wizard anyhow with rank & file troops - both those in contact and the supporting attacks. Be careful not to issue a challenge yourse...

Reference in BRB is page 77.

Then, you must imagine how will be the unit in HtH to see front/rank/rear and the original distance as reference to see if the charging unit reach the skirmishers or not. It is actually fairly easy to visualize since the unit is already in a loose formation with a specified number of ranks and fron...

As a wood elf player, I encounter this type of issue rather frequently with dryads and it is as Liquidedust has outlined. However, there are a few things to keep in mind that will help complete a charge against skirmishers no matter what happens or, at the very least, allow you to avoid a failed cha...
