Both where in commorragh so this might not have been the case. That said, the cultist leader would probably be far more steeped in the levels of depravity. During the time, Vect was a but a slave boy to be offered up to DE dark "gods" known as dark muses. As Vect grew up he swore he would ...

Yet in the new codex is not mentioned, to the contrary infact, he's described to not have any scars at all. A strange and pointless change, I really liked Gav's Torturer's Tale. I have the WD with it right here and the cut didn't get very deep. It was also cut on the back of neck, ie, they didn't sl...

I would like to add something, or change, to carlisson's list and that is the way he describe harlequins. They're the tricksters and preformers of the Eldar. They're acrobatic and relentless is combat and their ultimate plan, whatever it is, has something to do with the unification of the Eldar race...

I have to disagree with the idea of a MSU-army not working. The transport of chocie in the tournament scene suggests venoms and lots of them is the way forward. I prefer the mix though. Units of 7-9 wyches with haywire grenedes and agoniser on the hekatrix. This is more of less my template for a DE ...

It's about half the cost, and it is about time. Having a useless healing spell and being unstable with troops that are worse fighters than skaven slaves better be cheap as dirt. Same with cavalry, it is the cheapest for a reason... Not very good punch(not one you associate with cavalry). It is a ver...

The lore attribute is completely inconsequensial. The augments and hexes does not even come close to mitigate the loss of heals and movement. The current movement spell is not good, not at all. All it does is allow TK to do what every single army out there take for granted, namely, march. In short, ...

I am glad to be a TK player. Epic models. Those monsters sound incredibly overpowered BUT I need to see their stats and actual rules before I make a real judgment on them. Giving the Necrosphinx wings does sound over the top, though. Better yet! Play some games against them. An individual monster mi...

He's still unbreakable and can recover wounds He's unstable and needs to be alive in order to heal. Assuming he charged he won't be able to do so for two rounds of CC.

There is no doubt. VC and TK got it rough for a few reasons: 1. Fear is not very useful as they were never the killing kind. 2. Unstable in combination of supporting attacks and horde formations. 3. Random magic for an army who depend on it, more or less. Most VC players regard their special section...

I think that might have been 7th demons in the back of their brains not quite letting go. In 7th the book was atrociously bad. It might also be a kneejerk reaction to the rares. It is pretty ironic that an army called Beastmen to have the weakest monsters in the game and here I confess that I am tho...

The primary concept I see with Beasts is that they just have to be built properly; their units aren't as inherently competitive or powerful on their own as many choices in other armies. I'd say that is the primary concept of every single army out there, only more so for Beastmen. If you are Empire ...

Any army can be effective in 8th edition, and Beasts have some nasty tools and very strong units. No, that is just not true unless you add "...but some armies do it that much more easier than others." and to the second point "...and some thoroughly terrible units such as centigors an...

Since the inception of the massive list of common magic items most items have been made redundant. As such I think GW might be going towards keeping items that define the army of which they're apart of. Or O&G were just made this way due to most of their items are are actually scavanged and as s...

The reason people do not widely play TK is because their book is ancient. Of course we'll see the usual bandwagon and the awakening of old TK players(and there are a lot of them sleeping out there). Let's face it the book is almost 7 years old. As with anything it will depend on new models/rules. do...

Good times for me recently. Dark Eldar and Tomb Kings. Good times, indeed.

I don't expect the magic system to stay intact but I hope they'll at least try and stick to it. Even so, doesn't matter to me, I'm going to make it work regardless.

My will be done!

We have all armies across our private club. Those armies that aren't collected individually are collected collectively.

If I were to pick between the two today I'd go with Skaven. They have plenty of fun toys and options open to them whereas WE do not. I'd probably wait for the new WE book before I pick them up(and this probably isn't THAT far off).

So as said above, go mental, go Skaven!

Wood Elves. Come back and fight like an elf, you coward. Bigger wimps than High Elves, they need to develop a backbone so they fight a battle, not a skirmish (or at times, a game of 40k).

All a great center piece for any army they're in. There are of course many more models I like I'm too lazy to list them here.
