so i was looking for the right place to post this, this seemed about right.

anyone know if theres any truth to the rumors of 9th edition, and what it is said to bring about to fantasy?

ok kool thanks for the advice

only problem i can think of is the mages killing themselves with getting 3 dice from POD as they have no form of protection

so im gonna be doing a 1k tournament. it allows end times percentages/rules, but i dont want to abuse it too much. also, it allows me to switch out special/rare as i please, core/characters must stay the same which is interesting the idea im going for is a center combat block supported by dark magic...

earache, try out universalbattle.com to work on idea's, warhammer on the computer basically, no where near as fun but you can figure out what works and what doesn't before a game

i like it, except for the banner of eternam flame on the corsairs. why do they need it?

personally if I run 5 man units of anything, I bring multiples. its not that they are weak, its that they die fast

Id say either make the cold ones a 10 man unit, or make the doomfire warlocks a 10 man unit. 5 is weak, dark riders can get away with 5 because they are simply going to be chaff or harass chaff, or both

Okay, 2000 for lizard men: Lords Lvl 4 shadow mage with dispell scroll and ward save Heroes: Death hag with cauldron of blood. Bsb. Razor banner. Core: 28 witches with full command. Either cold one knights or a 20-24 man block of executioners. Dark riders and doomfire warlocks. Maybe throw a master ...

the rapetrain is real with this one

my personal favorite melee combat unit is witch elves. stick them with a cauldron and have them go fight anything that isn't 1 up armor. use executioners as a support block unit for witches against like warriors, lizardmen, (anything toughness 4 really), or alternatively use cold one knights with re...

lokhir is direct order only. ALWAYS a biatch to get ahold of. if it was like dark riders you'd get it in like 5 days (at least where I am) I believe a cauldron is NOT direct order, mainly because I bought it at a store that isn't a gw store, meaning they never really hold direct order stuff in the s...

id recommend a death hag with witchbrew to go with the corsairs. 3 attacks each with 4 up armor, any and all horde armies will shutter in fear (unless you can get ahold of 28 witches with a cauldron, then everything just dies). personally I'd run lore of dark magic. dark magic is arguably a decently...

are you allowed to add in units as the thing progresses?

also, do you happen to like melee combat *rubs hands menacingly* I can help you out in this regard

1500 against lizardmen: lords: lvl 4 sorceress lore of shadow. dispel scroll. mounted on dark steed. heroes: death hag on cauldron of blood (if you can buy the cauldron model). bsb core: 10 dark riders. crossbows, shields. 200 points. 28 witch elves. full command. war banner. 373 points. special: 2x...

for lizardmen, 1k points: heroes: lvl 2 sorceress. mounted on dark steed. (two ways to build this: dark magic with tome of furion so you can grab weapon skill test, OR, lore of shadow with dispel scroll. same points cost either way) 160 points. core: 11 dark riders. cross bows. shields. full command...

okay, is it tournament style, meaning you CANNOT change the list per battle, or can you change it per person? also, do you have money to go buy things really quick? for skaven run something like this for 1k points (highly experimental, I haven't attempted this yet so this is simply theory): heroes. ...

oh dayum, can take a magic sword. interesting

oh, its "talisman of preservation". talisman. grants a 4 up ward save for 45 points to answer that question, I believe we cant take magic armor or magic weapons for our mages

weaknesses: ALL OF LORE OF SHADOW. dark magic isn't a half bad secondary lore for this too. initiative: literally the second most garbage you can get, second only to "always strikes last" weapon skill: its okay, at base value 3, and that's why its a weakness: everything else is good (excep...

oh god yes. also, word of pain with bladewind will hurt him bad, even without the word of pain, ~25 % will die (he will get a 6 up save), in a 40 man block, ~10 will die, he will get 6 up saves. it should be noted that literally all of lore of shadow will crap all along his board, even the freaking ...

Lizard men are an army of two things: skinks and saurus. Even there elite options are just better saurus, so must just take regular saurus. Army of mostly core

Lizardmen are an elitist army. Lizard men are an interesting army, they are elite, but they function extremely well in hordes with spears, I'n 40-50 man units. They also can spam skinks that are the most annoying chaff ever. They have no real solution to big scary things outside of a character on a ...

I see what your saying, but in this scenario you want quantity of attacks over quality. with the executioners, you get 11 attacks going in, no rerolls, so 7 go in, its safe to say 7 wounds because murderous prowess. he gets 11 attacks. 4 hit. 2 wound. 2 dead. you win combat, BUT, he has 43 gobbo's l...

maybe take a melee block of witches, one cauldron for combat and one that you park next to shooting?
