I use them for FoW, they are nice. you can get specific foam inserts. they may already have a DE one. otherwise you can make up custom ones. i found them usful and will no doubt use it more.

i would imagine they start testing once they are within range. however they don't suffer frenzy. so would follow their rule.

Makes a btl std awful important in a frenzy heavy army.

would have to agree, harpies. cheap an nobody will miss them. as suggested the disruption they cause their own troops is great. i used a unit of skinks once. released about 10 fanatics with the one. opponent had them all through his lines. any that got close to me were shot. then proceded to clean u...

only seems to be a problem for general movement /deployment.
during a charge it doesn't matter. there is even a tidbit in the book suggesting moving units apart to maintain the 1". after the charge is complete. and then again there are so many other changes that this one seems a little minor.

The pool caps at 12. However it can be refilled during thephase. The Death mage bonus adds dice to the pool after wounds are caused.

had another check and TLOS includes arms, legs, head and th body. Not weapons, banners or tails.

i think it has acheived bringing infantry back into perspective, cavalry is now an impact unit and not the main line.

likewise, i had a quick glance and i think the changes will certainly renew the way the game plays.

rulebook, under basic rules section. don't have it with me atm as i'm at work so can't give it a page reference. :/ looks as bad as the a friend of a friend.... no no i have 8th, I know it's true I meant why did you mention it, you confused me cause I couldn't find a reference to why you said it. y...

true line of sight is from models eyes to the torso of the target, second rank sees as the first for shooting. so weapons heads are not counted.

iirc, and not sure if it will emain the same in 8th, but doesn't the person issuing the challenge choose who is going to the back if it is refused?

Would be interested in what you think what should've been brought into balance but got nastier instead. The sheer number of dice coming out in attacks. saurus, chaos warriors spring to mind and even BG. given that the to hit table and wound table are likely to stay the same will mean a lot of armou...

Been following a couple of the rumour threads. the new edition sounds, in a word, Brutal.

Yet some of the stuff you'd think they were trying to bring back into balance(pun not intended ) is just getting nastier. oh joy :/

vs PC killing time seems to work. or work on getting to the ball carrier

i found it enjoyable. i was on the good side of an ag1 player doing some rather acrobatic type moves. saurus picked up the ball and dodged out. then went on to score. so it goes both ways. haven't had to many deaths. a couple of injuries

looks nice.

poison auto wounds on a roll of a natural 6 to hit. if a 7 or greater is required then roll to wound as normal as the poison has no effect.

it is in BRB under Poison in the special rules section iirc.

to sell models

The object of the game is to win. It is how you go about it which differs. i've played a few games recently against some newer players at our local club. playing against them i find it is important to play fair as opposed to the i must win way i might against some of the more experienced. a classic ...

I think the game would have a more strategic element if pikes were added to stop cavalry charges. give them 3 ranks to fight in, +1 strength when charged in the first two ranks, wtvr.

iirc pikes already gain fight in 4 ranks and +1 s vs cav when rx'ing a charge.

poison works provided the to hit roll = 6. it still works at 6's to hit. @7's it is no longer benifits from poison. so a skink with bs3 starts at 4's. with moving and range = 6's. not worth firing multi shot as it would remove the auto wounds. if the modifier's would be less than 6 to hit then multi...

5 WE and a special character at 1250?

to me that makes no sense. 5 models with T3 no armour is just easy victory points. especially against an army with 20-30 skinks.

apart from that the report was good.

5th ed rieksguard were m3 due to HA/Shield

cool, it seems that the current edition has a few rules which can cause confusion where a simple line of print would avoid it.

hey all had this situation come up in a game yesterday. CO chariot pursued and ran down another unit and finished up within 3" of the edge of the battle field. it's next turn saw it fail stupidity and leave the battlefield as per the failed stupidity. moves straight forward at half speed. at th...
