I personally think that these rules and scrolls are just placeholders, and I'm sincerely hoping for a more serious game to be released in the coming few weeks (probably in the form of an "expansion"). These rather unspecific rules are great for playing around with the new mechanics, while ...

Congratulations! I also did manage to retain gaming time when I got married, you probably should put it in the prenup!

As was briefly mentioned before, the Line of Sight system in use affects the usefulness of Reapers. We use the ETC Line of Sight system, and that makes them more powerful since Large targets do not receive cover from normal units.

The way I see it is that if you bring Reapers and run low on targets that probably means you are winning (since DE kick ass in CC). If you are up against an avoidance list and struggle to commit, that's when you need the Reapers.

Yeah, any kind of non-template missile fire is allocated by the controlling player. Doesn't matter if there are different unit types or not.

People cannot single out the CoB in WE, but you can allocate shooting on the Skaven Screaming Bell because it has a special rule that allows it.

Hm. Because the question is in two parts I interpreted the answer's two parts as follows: - No, it can not join Skirmishers - It can join units with mismacthing bases, if the unit joined is at least 60mm wide when it has multiple ranks. Or does this have to be interpreted as: - No, it can not join ...

Interesting comparison! Found an error though: Q: How do I place a Cauldron of Blood or Bloodwrack Shrine in units when footprints collide, i.e. with cavalry or a Bloodwrack Medusa? (RB p.98) A: The Cauldron or Shrine is placed in the middle of the unit and the unit is formed around it. The third ra...

I think I do tbh, let me just double-check that when I get home and I will get back to you.

I have never seen such an argument in my 25 years of playing Warhammer as the one going on here in this thread. I have, I pulled this of when I was 13 by deploying EXACTLY 18" away from the enemy with my Tiranoc Chariots, and then charge him first turn. I'm still slightly ashamed of that to be...

Hi Pablo, No it can't, the Screaming bell has a special rule that allows it to be targeted separately, but the CoB and Shrine does not. The owner of the unit being shot at (i.e. you) can chose to put one of the hits on the CoB/Shrine if you wish, but otherwise you are free to allocate the hits to th...

I bring four as often as I can simply because I think they complement the rest of the army very well. In my opinion, our combat troops are amongst the best in the game and we stand a great chance of winning if our superior troops reach combats. On the other hand, our troops are very exposed to missi...

The medusa shields actually do have hands, the shields without hands are the kraken ones. Either way, I have seven medusa shields and eight kraken shields spare, just pm me your address and I'll send them over.

Thanks again for a great set of battle reports, very much appreciated! A comment on your game against Bretonnia (congratulations on a well played game btw!): http://s8.postimg.org/atiq9zb9x/DE_vs_Brets_Turn_1_The_Bretonnians.jpg At least the way it looks on your illustration, your WE could still cha...

The basic idea behind any death star is that a very sizeable portion of your VPs are concentrated into one very nasty unit, that preferably is hard to kill from a distance. That way your enemy has to engage your death star if he hopes to win big, and you can either stay away and pick up easy VPs els...

Looks like a very cool list, but are you sure about the double Cauldrons? They are quite a big portion of your points allowance, and the 6" buff of a single CoB can normally reach two combat blocks if you position it carefully. I would drop one CoB and use the points for two Pegasus riders inst...

Any character in any frenzied unit. The whole unit is liable to the Ld test. If the character charges out, the unit is still frenzied. Do they have to test? No, since no unit may declare a charge after a character has charged out. --- The question is not specific to Witchbrew in any way, the same qu...

But how is this different from any normal unit with frenzy, and a character charging out of that unit?

Edit: Aha, I see it now. "If a Death Hag charges out of a unit Frenzied due to Witchbrew..." Can be interpreted in two ways; - The DH charges out of the unit due to Witchbrew - The unit is Frenzied due to Witchbrew I read it as the first case, the DH changes out due to Witchbrew, and then ...

I see what you are trying to do with a more RAI kind of approach, and I think it can be applied to situations where the intent is not clear, but I think you really should avoid it when the rules as written is very clear (as in the case of Lore of Beasts). You must be aware that you are not clarifyin...

Good initiative, and I'm glad to see that many of the previously slightly more controversial rulings (like disallowing magic armour from Assassins) have been removed since the previous discussions. I think that you need to add a ruling on how BoWD and Black Horror interact, this is a quite complicat...

Not that uncommon really, since charging out with the CoB from an infantry unit is actually a very good tactic!

Yes indeed, thanks a lot Rowena!

I am not very happy with my current Harpies, and I'm severely tempted to create a new unit inspired by his Harpies.

Hi all, I remember seeing pictures of a converted Harpy unit ripping an Empire soldier apart in mid air. I think the harpies were converted using Tyranid Gargoyle wings and Ghoul bodies, and the Empire soldier wore Red/White clothes. There was a very nicely converted Shade unit in the same theme as ...

+1, in case it helps

Good point about the Crushers, that is where Metal really shines. Could you possibly squeeze a Lvl1 Metal in? He would be just as good at casting Searing Doom, and that would allow your Lvl4 to go with Dark or something else instead. Dark does have some merit also against Chaos; Doombolt is great ag...
