wel it states "when fighting against a high elf army, models with this rule may re-roll hits in every round of close combat" no where it is mentioned that that combat has to involve high elves. its just that you are fighting a army of them and in a team battle you are still fighting them....

Guinea Pig hydra: has Keira Knightley ever appeared in a film without showing at least a little bit of thigh? I hope not. ~~~ It would have to live a life in the wilds, with or without it's mother - if it starts on Elven lands. DE would kill it or throw it in the Cauldron (thereby killing it). HE w...

It is entirely possible that there may be a half-blood wandering the Warhammer world somewhere. Absolutely. But it is also possible that there is a Goblin-Rat, or Lizard-Dwarf. I believe it would be most likely to be a HE/Human offspring, that would then be exiled, or wander the Earth so as not to b...

in team games, against high elves do you get to reroll against non elves as well? read the way eternal hatred is worded. like dark elves and lizards vs high elves and skaven. do you eternally reroll to skaven? No. You forever get a re-roll against High Elves and High Elves alone. Skaven are not Hig...

I think that DE would certainly, erm, have their way with any female slaves should they wish, but would probably kill either them soon after (either on the Altar or for fun) or if a particularly tasty damsel then keep them and kill the child. This would probably be mostly Corsairs however, as Highbo...

I don't think Lokhir suffers as much as our other SC's. For 250 he's still very much overpriced as he'll still die quickly in any prolonged combat, but I'd put him second behind Morathi in terms of our SC's. But then I don't ever plan on taking SC's.

Nagash certainly could fry legions, indeed he destroyed an entire civilisation with one spell. The problem with Nagash is that sometimes he can do that and at other times he is barely alive, kind of like Sauron only he has gone up and down more times. Fair do's, my knowledge of Nagash is what's in ...

I would say that the top mages would be kroak #1 without a doubt, teclis, nagash, lord mazdamundi, other second gen slann, kairos, third, forth, and fifth gen slann, lords of change. The Slann to start off with are in a class of their own. They are capable of moving continents. However, what is the...

I really really love the idea. I think it'd be best to keep it simple though, the tissue idea may get overly fussy and complex. I think taking off the head and simply having the end of the stump all bloody and mangled would suffice. I think it's the concept itself that makes it so awesome that the a...

Drainial has said it best. What exactly have the other races achieved? No one has invaded a land and claimed it because it would completely change the game. Even after Storm of Chaos, nothing changed. The point of the entire game is we play these battles. Malekith is pretty much the only leader who ...

Teclis and tyrion have amazing fluff. I have read dark elf AB and the high elf one, and it is way more fun to read the high elf portion on tyrion and teclis that it is to read about malekith and morathi. Tyrion is an amazing warrior as well as a great general. I love reading the fights he is includ...

Ah we have much in common my friend, as a fellow Druchii/Chaos leader. Our Sorcerer Lords are win purely because they can have armour. DE Sorceresses do not have this luxury so you have to spend at least 35 pts for the PoK to make sure she lasts longer than one turn. But you don't want to rule yours...

I think you've put the PoK on the wrong character. Either your Sorceress or BSB would be better off with it, as they need to stay alive much longer and your DL already has a 1+ AS. Fluff wise it doesn't sit right with me to use BG. I know you've explained them as different bodyguard, but BG are Male...

of course both work by very diffrent systems, so saying 1 is better isn't realy possibl. it very much depends on what kind of army your running This really. We can't help you out too much unless you say what the rest of your army will be. In a 2000pt and less army I wouldn't try to fit both in. Mak...

I suspect High elves, Lizardmen and Skaven massivly outnumber the number of Dark elves in the world, someone please correct me if they don't.

3000pt Chaos Army - BSB's or Not?

I'm working on the idea of a Grand Chaos army of 3000pts. It would be a combined allied force of WOC, Beastmen and Daemons. What I was wondering was if it's worth taking any BSB's? Since the Battle Standard only effects the same race, I don't personally feel it'd be worth taking one if it only affec...
