Simple solution put spear tips on both ends of the shaft and the model doesn't actually turn just thrusts backwards at the enemy like a ninja


@red your comment really made chuckle thanks :-)

A simple add to the second option is kinda how we have been intuitively playing it which you can pile in however you like up to the three inches as long as it doesn't reduce the attacks back of the engaged unit (I.e the one you charged). This still allows shuffle to get more models in, allows pile i...

We measured from the front of all bases across the battle for movement and then from any part of the base while in combat which didn't cause any issues as the only time Sangfroid was swamped it was by a Bloodstoker in the front left corner of his base a warshrine Middle of the front to the right cor...

http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s373/Harperkjh/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpszszgucsf.jpg Here a pic of the Victorious Lord Sangfroid atop Redclaw with the two remaining Bloodreavers running and my last two warlocks. I only took this pic sorry need to get into the habit of taking more!

I put my report up in the AoS. Section the corsairs were okay but I made a mistake with them which could have made them more effective (even though I set it up right DoH!)

Will still keep,using them though for now

so my first proper non training battle in AoS and I'm up against the Goretide of Khorne. We agreed 100 wounds max 25 of those as characters. His list: Mighty Lord of Khorne (MLK) Bloodsecrator (BS) Blood stoker (BST) Warshrine of Khorne (WS) 2 x 18 blood reavers (BR) 10 blood warriors (BW) 2 Khorgor...

Canons are to be feared but they have a 32 inch range only now and also our dark riders just a unit of 5 have a good chance to kill one or two crew in just one round of shooting so we have the tools to deal with them yes they can be tough but it's no different to having to suffer a round or at worst...

It's a fluffy themed list too a proper black ark raiding force! You might want to consider a kharyibdyss for its abysal howl ability -1 to a units bravery (nice) Also some dark riders they shoot and attack well (basically 6 attacks each if you shoot then charge) and depending on how the opponent set...

No your not crazy it's just I am counting a warscroll as a number of models So 25 blackguard = 5 warscrolls as 1 scroll = 5 blackguard. It's just how we are trying to get some form of balance. The battle host would be useful but I only have 29 spears and 14 shards (and none are painted) so need some...

I'd like to think that GW when they designed the spell would know that people could exploit it to give units a 1+ save and that they meant it to read cast once.
That or just say all enhancements and rebuffs do not stack :-)


But that would be too easy wouldn't it!

The wording for casting is interesting it say A WIZARD can only attempt to cast these spells once per turn. Which to me means that you can only attempt to cast arcane bolt and mystic shield once irrespective of how many wizards you field, otherwise it would of said EACH not A. Caps are just to highl...

So had to happen eventually and so Lord Sangfroid is saddling up his Blackdragon Redclaw and stepping forward into the breach opened by the stormcast and taking the fight to the heathen Goretide. We have set a lose "comp" of 100 wounds (max 25 heroes) and here's my list. Heroes (3 scroll, ...

So me and a club mate are scheduling a game for Monday night and agreed a "points" cost of 100 wound of which 25 can be heroes. Also 1 scroll = min cost so 10 corsairs is 1 scroll 5 dark riders etc..... So I decided off the bat I wanted to try a square formation unit as my main line and pi...

You know what re-reading the rules for combat selection and thinking about WHY you would add into the mechanic pile in twice as well as attack twice, I think it's designed to be your pile in attack (enemy remove casualties) then you either pile into the same enemy and attack again or if in range pil...

Sadly I read that as being in 14 of any death bag so wouldn't stack that doesn't stop it stacking with hellebrons ability though and a unit of witches with a cauldron & hellebron will be fearsome on the charge. How would you read hellebrons ability though do you think the unit piles in and fight...

Shooting is a tactic and so we need to devise a counter for it if faced with it but its not got the same range as in previous whfb, also if faced with a shooting focused army (so not to good in melee) so for me it's simple deploy the same tactic you would have done a month ago when faced with a dwa...

I quite agree with the choice to target either the crew or the machine. But doesn't the controlling player have the choice on where to assign the wounds within the same unit? Which essentially brings the question down to... does it count as a single unit? I think it does, but it does have 2 sets of...

Are they not just separate units and so the shooter has to target either the crew or machine if they target crew, crew get a cover save. That would be simplest solutions If you count as a unit they as soon as you allocate one wound to the machine all others need to be allocated to it until it's dead...

Then let us take this threads conversation back to the OP original question "about points" I do have a gaming club (we meet on Mondays in Cheltenham your all welcome to come have a game just find us on the web Cheltenham war chiefs and make contact) anyway about points. So far the club guy...

1) screening exists, your unit wants to charge my blackguard but I put 10 corsairs in the way you attack and either kill them or get stopped, my turn I charge your unit with my blackguard and attack first that's a screen. Also your dragons range is 6 inches if your within 6 inches and don't kill the...

You guys have incorrectly assessed corsairs and I am going to defend them because I have always loved them. It will also highlight a new mechanic no one is talking about namely Assault, shoot and THEN charge (yup it's a 40k mechanic) Corsairs are not front line troops they are skirmishers or to reve...

The dreadlord on a dragons command ability is almost a halfway house between the generic inspiring presence and more mele focused ones already mentioned, if gives a slight buff to combat and also provide battle shock immunity (if your close enough.....) I think spears are a strong unit because if yo...
