Well 40k did change a lot with the change of last edition... There is still cause to worry!

Does anyone know how long it usually takes for the 'starter' set to be released after the rulebook? Or how long it was after 6th and 7th? Thanks

Lovely model and nice painting just not sure about the thorn sword being completely green, it contrasts too much and perhaps paint the hilt a seperate colour? It's nice though

+1 Brilliant. Straight after last exams too!

Make slots for magic characters and combat characters different. Would balance alot imo.

This would all be speculation at the moment anyways. But I'd like to return to before the 'power creep' books and 'super elite' infantry and characters came in. That would fix everything although it will never happen. Bring back the chess element of movement with infantry blocks!

I've got a game against a friend soon who is playing empire and I am playing VC. Any help on how to improve my list, or how to exploit or find weaknesses in his would be greatly appreciated! My List! 1 Lord + Magic levelx2(one as a power)+Skull Staff+Helm of commandment+Raise Ghouls and Skeletons+Fo...

Would you not say that with the standard being Corsairs only that it would only affect corsairs? Or is that not the case?

First turn in a huge 3500 game against VC with my empire. His general is casty in a unit of 20 ghouls. Two Helstorm Rockets hit the unit, he fails his look out sir twice. Lord on one wound with the entire unit destroyed. Captasus Pistol shot hits and wounds, general dies. Bit of a shame that it mean...

Assassins are something that every empire player is afraid of. They will make a blody pulp of state troopers. I have to disagree there. Yes they kill state troopers with ease but... 1. State Troops rarely provide a strong role. 2. Lots of people run State Troops as throw away units. 3. Some people ...

Hmm, I've gotten it to work more steadily (don't know how) it's bearable now. Thanks for the replies everyone.

I personally like the look of them and I think they will go well with what I image my army to look like when finished with all the alternate models I will be using. And I guess it doesn't matter too much if they are only slightly smaller, or is it instantly noticable?
Thanks

I tried it just now but I get the same problem :/ Hmm. I don't know. Odd.

Hey everyne, getting my shopping list for my DE army ready and as usual, the harpies suck and are not worth the money so I went looking for alternate models. I am wondering if anyone uses these ones; http://www.reapermini.com/graphics/gallery/4/06184_G.jpg m How do they size up towards standard gw m...

I can't stand firefox, I only really like IE and well... Don't fancy changing that for one forum ^^

Haha Why would he fire a helblaster on turn one anyways? It's 24" range...

6th edition Helblaster didn't need to roll to hit however the new 7th edition empire army book requires the helblaster to roll to hit so remember to do that. Tbh I don't think the helblaster is even a threat anymore!

Sadly, common sense and warhammer rules do not always go hand in hand.

I guess so, everyone would inteprete the wording differently.

IE >.>

If they are led by a WP, flank them with harpies, loose combat and force them to pursue in the wrong direction, wich will open up a nice little flankcharge from either of your units. Always forget about the WP's hatred conferring over to the unit. Well there you go then, probably alot easier than t...

You get you're shield bonus from shooting ofcourse. You just don't get the +1 bonus from using a hand weapon and shield from shooting. That's only for melee infantry in combat.

Hmm thanks, I've ticked both the forum 'automatically log me in' and I've even set my browser to remember my password but for some reason neither work. I guess it's just a problem I'll have to deal with. Thanks for replying!

The whole raising this is common sense is it not? If the unit dies... it's dead?

Having played empire for over 5 years now I think possibly the best way to deal with empire Knights is ignore them. If they are the standard 5 knights with a muso 5 str 5 attacks with WS4 isn't really going to do much unless its against shades/dark riders/harpies which shouldn't be hit anyways! Howe...

Thankyou! I've had some problems with the forum since registering which I've posted in the off topic section for lack of knowledge of where it should go and I guess there is no harm in putting it here too incase someone can solve it for me. This is the copy paste of it; When I access this forum it w...
