The future of magic items

Hey guys. I noticed that there are only 8 army specific magic items in the new O&G armybook, 3 banners and 1 each of waepon, armour, talisman, arcane and enchanted. This is supposedly gonna be the same for all the new books, with a supplement for the common magic items list being released at a l...

There is no minimum width. Conga lines won't win you many friends tho, characterss or not. Pushing characters to the 2nd rank, however otherwise achieved, won't either.

The first thing I noticed in the original post was your examples of two hydras in your list. Just as I appreciate my friends not sticking two Steamtanks, two Organ Guns, two Trebuchets, etc down my throat, I'm sure they also appreciate me not showing up with two Hydras. If you are going to a no com...

I find it very hard to make non-magic armylists in 8th. Magic has just become so potentially game breaking, that you need, at least, a decent counter against your opponent. And it really just is one of our biggest strengths, no less so in 8th. It ofc depends on the people you play, but in my group i...

I'm actually weighing those 2 builds up against each other atm for the next 2500 pts tournament. Only exception is that i have other trixters shard on both, since i often play daemons. I've personally come to the conclusion that the DL is too expensive for the role, and as sulla says, not cool to ha...

Looks like a really fun list to play, definatly let us know how it works out. Great advice by Cal btw, can only agree with just about everything.

Havent used a Manti in 8th myself yet, guess I'm too much of a scaredy cat :D

I'll probably try a switch of lores soon, but for now i clearly favorise Shadow on my SS. I feel a lvl 2 with ToF is enough damage spells, and the low casting cost suits her better. imo. I think Shadow suits DE great, since hexes makes some of our units actually able to perform on their own, without...

Don't forget that being Initiative 2 means that even if charges, it can get smacked down before it has a chance to breath, attack or thunderstomp. Often it can survive the first round of combat, but for Round 2 a wounded Hydra will often go down before it can do anything else again. Well, yea. Once...

While the easier access to fire damage for all armies, have made it more vaulnurable, the fact that there is no longer +1 to hit large targets with shooting is a big boost. And with TLoS, witch elves can give it hard cover easily, even against WM's on a hill most the time. That you can see and charg...

Greetings from Valby! I usually run a lvl 4 Shadow with dagger and ToP/PoK in a bunker unit of shieldless spears to start the game. She stays there most games, if she doesn't kill 'em all...... Ofc, if you have a lore that requires more LoS than shadow, so you can't have the unit shielded by other u...

3,000 Pts "All Comers"

Hi guys I'm trying to come up with a few solid lists, to rotate between in my gaming group. Or at least a solid base to create future lists from. After the coming of 8th, we bumped up to 3,000 pts as our standard army sizes and switched from making lists based on the opponent, and instead make some ...

That's not clear at all!?!! "Any wizard attempting to cast a spell within 12" of the wearer...." A spell can be "cast" on a unit, not "targeted" on a unit. So if an enemy wizard attempts to cast/target a Magic Missile, f.ex., on a unit within 12" of the ring,...

I agree with you Minaras. They took out the word of TARGET in everything. If you look through all the lores, there is no more targeting a unit. You just CAST at the unit.
