Re: When cold ones can fly - this happened

Very cool idea! Do I really need 10 knights, or could I convert one like this... the question is, feathers or skin wings?

I'm not going to invest in any more models though until I see where GW go with Aelfs. Could all be a waste of time if i'm not careful...

I don't get why you went on about this. Spells are attacks, ranged attacks, I was in no way debating this. Gateway's 2ndary effect doesn't care for the cloak. Spells are not attacks, dude. Attacks are close combat. If a rule says all your attacks gain poison, does that include your magic missiles? ...

Spells are attacks <.< What else would they be? >.> ...spells? Fortunately the item descriptions explicitly includes exactly what kind of spells qualify here (i.e. magic missiles and spells with a strength value).

Halves the strength of any ranged attack against the bearer's unit. Doesn't discard the Gateway's result of 11-12 in any way. What matters here isn't the cloak as it is ignored by that secondary effect. Roll aything between 2 and 10 for the spell and the cloak will halve it. But surely the cloak ha...

According to you both, the cloak doesn't work against spells as a spell is not an attack.

Unless that is not the specific wording, of course?

I'll check the army book when i get home...

In one of my recent games, a WElf Dragon spent the game hunting both bolt throwers before setting upon the CoB. While all 3 units went down, 425 pts is a decent trade for keeping a 600pt dragon out of the game and still gaining half points for it. It left my other 1825 pts to pick on his 1400 pts, t...

I think this is an awesome idea! While, as phierlihy pointed out, the Warhammer range of minis doesn't support anime very well (except for tau) the converions would be awesome.

The difference is as follows: Witch Elves have frenzy because this rule is included in their basic profile. Assassins are not frenzied because they do not have this in their basic profile. Now, take a unit (corsairs + Assassin) and give it the SSS. Every model in the unit, including the assassin, is...

Unit Width

hey all, i've been playing Dark Elves for a few months now and found that, since we have hatred and a lot of offensive melee capability, 7-wide seems to be the optimum width for any dark elf combat unit. My units rarely lose a combat, especially when combined with a CoB. But how do such units cope w...

Oops! Thought Caledor's Bane was 30 :P Perhaps a normal lance then?

Still, I think the Black Amulet is a good idea! :)

It's a good idea if you plan to send your Dreadlord after big nasties with lots of wound and attacks. Especially useful for going toe-to-toe with chaos lords. They often rely on heaps of armour and T5 rather than ward saves to keep them going - this could be the answer :)

What about a Dreadlord with the Black Amulet and Caledor's Bane on a Manticore/Dark Pegasus?

4 str 7 attacks and then half the wounds that kholek inflicts (on average) get rebounded, no armour saves. It's only 1 wound per hit (instead of D3) but could be quite effective!

I use GW satin usually, which makes them models slightly shiny but not too shiny. TBH thats not the ideal varnish to use unless you really want your models to look like they are made out of glass.

Vajello are supposed to do some good varnishes but i've never tried them, personally.

You can try to lock him up in a duel with a mounted (Dark Steed or Cold One) Dreadlord on with PoK the Pearl and CD. Bring a unit with him to provide CR, I kinda suggest 6 COK FC with Warbanner, which will make you start with a CR of 3.. I like this! I would just go for the Dreadlord alone (+dark s...
