The way I read it is that they die before the roll to wound happens, so the question then is how often do dead(dead dead, not undead) models get to roll to wound?

I believe because of Will of Gods rule.

I faced a unit of WE supported by two Execs all three big hordes with my Construct Archer TK and the WE simply ate my T8 monsters before they could retaliate have the time. However when stomp and breath attacks happened, there were droves of dead WE in that round. They are still strong without the c...

Hag on CoB in unit. RAW they are no longer a character once joined to a unit. Needs FAQ to clear up if this is intended.

Unsure you can even fight in challenges still. Once CoB joins a unit, it's not a character per the rules it has for joining units. FAQ will be needed for that one.

The comments about Orcs being so high-tier amuse me, because I play Orcs, and their forum is almost always doom & gloom about how awful Orcs are. Though it's changed up a bit once people realized how EPIC the Savage Orc Horde was, and how it can be easily combined with a Goblin BSB with a Poiso...

So much for having a unit of Execs that are not converted. At least the Cav are somewhat affordable.

I've yet to play in an event that cares about what the model is made out of as long as it's easy enough for your opponent to recognize what it is. If you are super concerned that your conversion won't look enough like a pegasus or whatever you are converting, you can go the extra mile and put pictur...

GW screwed my whole store and only sent them one copy of the book when they ordered more.

Swords vs spears I dunno which is better and they both have uses, are split so you can have the magic banner on one of each.

Which post are the zip files at? please link.

Flying and still slightly cheaper than DR, still sub 100pts (aka easy to throw away and not bleed to many points).

These are reasons why you would want to bring them outside of some comp rules on how many units of a certain type you can bring.

unless your skaven, then most of the rules do not apply

You can try the PoK and FF so that you are fairly safe in combat and can still cast. If you are going to just dance around and cast then a pegasus is probably a better cheaper choice.

Keep in mind that scouting is not always about being in an advanced position. Sometimes it is just being able to deploy on the side you want to weight or get to pick it's target a little bit better as they have studied things in advance.

You can also setup so he has range for the charge and just flee to draw the dragon out and pounce.

How hard of lists and opponents King P? Every environment is gonna be a bit different with the general tournament scene seeing a lot or hard VC lists right now.

Read pg 53 on immune to psychology. They are still subject to frenzy, hatred, stupidity.

Well since your empire build is all the knights and Stank/Walter list. Maybe you should shoot for a more infantry heavy list. You could go with a big block of warriors with lvl4 and a familiar which can hide behind the line and still cast, a lvl2 in another block with the dagger and pearl. Toss in a...

It only works when you should surely break someone with enough attacks by the hammer unit and the defender would otherwise have speed to run and rally. Situational yes, great when it works, also yes.

Another use for them is to force a hold reaction so your uber unit can get in to get kills. Example: Say you have Hydra banner nonsense unit of CoK and they are close to 14" away(though within charge range) and the harpies are only 5" away, you can charge with both and if they flee, Harpie...

Another thing to consider is the speed of your army vs theirs. You may get outdeployed, yet still have the advantage in that it matters little because you have lots of harpies, DRs and a dragon or something that can just be on the other side in a matter of a turn. Thus throwing a feint flank. Terrai...

Last I checked Malekith was almost unkillable with MR(2) and only able to suffer one wound per attack. This combined with a 2+ ward against anything non-magical and destroying a magic item every other combat. On a CO he has a 2+ AS as well. And a nice FU to anyone trying to get past that MR2. Put hi...

I would like to see more discussion on the use of the MSU style as the large block will be a sure sign of the 'Shade-Star' and thus it's gonna get hit harder by comp I would imagine. Perhaps 2 smaller effective groups, one with ASF banner and another with Assassins to provide a bunch of ASF attacks.

Exactly, I would get another unit of harpies and my master in CO would get a CO himself for 1+ vs 2+ AS and the S4 A vs S3.
