Re: is there any truth to 9th edition rumors?
different ways of playing Warhammer as it moves to a stronger narrative game with scenarios set in locations other than just a normal battlefield I was thinking about this when they talked about round bases. They put the models on round bases so maybe that's so they can use them for different style...

Re: Shroud of Despair in infantry unit
Models in the second rank are assumed to see the same thing as the front rank I believe. Otherwise the second ranks shooting would always get a -1 for the enemy being obscured. But regardless the game uses true line of site in this edition so she could be 5 ranks deep and still cast a spell as long ...

Re: Dark Riders
if the Legion rules arent used in 9th (or supported in any of the tournements) YUUUP. This coming tournament season and 9th edition will determine sales for next year on elf kits. After hearing the latest buzz the last few days I kind of wonder now if they might force legion rules in 9th so that it...

Re: Dark Riders
Sir, you need to be introduced to magnets before you build all of your models. I have all of my standards magnetized so that I can pull off the banner and attach the spear tip. I also have the top half of all of my riders magnetized to allow me to change them to Warlocks OR Dark Riders. Grab about 1...

Re: In defence of Dreadspears.....
Yes there are multiple options they could adopt to make them slightly better. +1 S on the charge even on foot, Armor Piercing, Always have the extra rank. However I think if they go with AP then it will cost an extra point. For some reason (probably because of Crushers, Chickens, ETC.) GW has put mo...

Re: Cold One Knights
I find that people underestimate the Cold One's 2 attacks. Most people assume 1 attack from men and a S3 attack from a crappy mount which is NOT a cold one. This is the same issue with the Cold One Chariot, while yes it's not awesome to have your chariot stuck in combat, the T5 and 4 S4 attacks from...

Re: Which other units complement Executioners best ?
I have been using metal my last few games and have loved it with a witch hoard and an exec hoard. Giving execs +1 to hit makes them hit on 2's wound on 2's for most enemies which is as close to auto wounding as you're going to get. Giving them +2 Armor is also awesome. I love those two spells. The o...

Re: Bloodwrack Medusa

Re: Competitive lists without witches.
I used 60 spearmen, 35 corsairs AHW with some success, but they tend to fight like normal units instead of blenders. For instance yes 60 spearmen can take out a 18 strong gutstar but they will lose about 90%+ to do so and it will take about 3 rounds of combat. A small unit of execs and/or BG can fil...

Re: How to Field Witch Elves
You can't charge out of a building. . . So they can't bait them out of a building. . . Because of that, a building is a great place to have them to start at least. Not only that but frenzied they have 3-4 attacks with 10 models, almost always outnumbering attacks on any 10 models the enemy can put a...

Re: End Times: Khaine
Noticed some glaring problems . .(to me anyway) Malekith has no armor save vs magical attacks. There is a lack of scaly skin save or any armor save for the model for that matter other than the 2+ vs non magical. He lost his MR and his ability to destroy magic items for a poop d3+1 wound weapon. So i...

Re: End Times Spell Augmentation
I'm actually kind of seeing this as the same as the storm of magic. It's a side set of rules that we can use if we choose to maybe mix it up a little. It makes it like two types of games for people who like it either or both ways. Hero-hammer or Army-hammer. Some people like boos fight style battles...

I agree with the 2 smaller units with the number you have. If you get at least 10 more do 30 in hoard or with cauldron.

Re: Can Kouran make other characters unbreakable?
Right D, joining beforehand was my assumption.
You could also move him out of the unit, move other characters in, then move him back in next turn but that's a lot of wasting time unless you really want to save those points.

Re: The Dreaded Thirteenth
Please please please! In friendly games, you should play Rules As Intended. It seems obvious to me that Shrine and CoB should not make a unit of infantry immune to 13th, because they can only join this unit as if they were characters. In WAACK games or against rules lawyers, clearly the shrine and ...

Re: Can Kouran make other characters unbreakable?
Would it matter if the other character were Unbreakable? If the unit won't flee then a character model won't flee out of it since there aren't any rules for that to happen. Or has this just come to to arguing language and horrible rules writing of GW at this point?

Re: june 2015 "bragging rights" tournament list for 2400,
I would add in a unit of 10 execs, standard and champ just as a small can opener. You have tons of other targets for shooting so that could keep them alive until they can hit a monster or unit of knights.

If they removed all of the magic item options I think I would just sell my stuff or use old rules. Being able to customize has always been a big factor in fantasy and gaming.
