"Well, if they think they can handle the guards, we'll see how competent they are very soon. It shouldn't take too long to go to this Inn, but are you sure that the other mercenaries won't have already gotten any information from there? Perhaps we should wait a bit and see if we can get someth...

The big city wasn't quite as impressive as she had thought. Apparently this place was Vikarh, though she didn't know much other than the name. Only a few stories the Autarii clans had told about people from this city, whom they sometimes used as easy pickings, for they would be assumed to have been ...

For magic items, I usually give my champion: Sword of Might (Less strength on charge, but gives the unit more staying power) Ironcurse Icon (In case the enemy gets first turn and warmachines me, or if there's something else that gets the ward save) Luckstone (Increases champions survivability by a g...

If it wasn't for all the SKULLZZZZ!!!! on that graveyard it would be quite nice.

I guess your appraisal of the CoK bus is a lot different than mine. If *I* was charged by those buggers they'd break me. The unit is a lot of points and quite fragile, all considered.

Dragons could also do with a price drop though not as significant a one. 290ish points should be sufficient.

I'd be quite interested, seeing as I play both Lizardmen and Dark Elves, and am also training somebody to play. Once some more concrete ideas come out. Do you have any ideas for the storyline of this? I could easily see a large invasion of Lustria if it fit into Malekith or Morathi's plans. On the f...

Re: Ideas for homebrew Dark Elf revision?

Putting a limit of 2 or 3 models killed with the Sacrificial Dagger and upping its point cost should make it more reasonable (Your chick can't possibly be stabbing 6 guys in the heart in that magic phase that quickly!). Just to put things things into perspective, there are armies with a similar abi...

So you can give your Super Hag (with proper name of course, Doom Hag? Death Queen?), take the two 50pt items that give her this big bonus to her stats for as long as she remains unwounded, and the ward save that gives her a killer ward save for as long as she is unwounded. You'd have to bunker her ...

Also thought I'd try my hand at a couple of higher strength Khainite abilities 50pts a peice (so a Death Hag / Assassin can take 1 or the 100pt allowance Super Hag can take 2) Khaines' Fury - 50pts - the bearer fights in combat with +D3 weapon skill, +D3 initiative and +D3 attacks for as long as th...

Also, one more thing. What do you guys think of a lord-level Hag apart from Crone? 150 points, with the similar +1I and other stuff, and access to 100 points of Khainite gifts. How does that sound? Well, since one of the current Khainite items is "Assassins Only" and the other is priced s...

Just a few suggestions... Sacrificial Dagger - 25pts - roll a D3 each turn and you can sacrifice up to that many models from your unit and turn them into bonus power dice. You must declare after rolling how many sacrifices you are going to make, you cannot sacrifice after casting has begun. Any pow...

Now that I think about it, it doesn't make sense that Elf characters aren't T4. Humans and Goblins characters should be about as tough, but they're T4 as well! In fact, most characters for most armies are 1 toughness higher than their counterparts. When we have items like Pendant of Khaeleth, this i...

I'm mostly doing this for fun, and perhaps to play with a few other people at the gamestore. I'm mostly trying to bring the units a little closer together, and add some more fluffy stuff if I can.

Perhaps the revised Dance of Doom starts out at 6+? Keep in mind that it won't be *that* much of a benefit, as you can't kill that many models. If you're facing a lot of basic infantry, you're at best holding them up, and if you're assassinating a character, you aren't going to have much. Another al...

For the best results, a Dreadlord can be added to this unit. Combined, this bus can take on most elite units. The CoK's shred the elites before they strike back, and the Dreadlord removes any troublesome characters. It's a winning combo!

Barring another wave of Dark Elf minis, yeah, we should see resin versions of them. I'm okay with metal special characters, but troops in metal are a pain in the ass to keep together, I'll be looking forward to this change.

I think there's a couple things that make Dark magic and Metal magic a little worse than you might think. Not crippling, just something to be aware of. Dark Magic has a very short range, which, if you're in a bunker, keeps you from getting the spells off where you want them. Metal magic has a pretty...

Many people use Avatars of Khaine of some kind in their home-made Cauldrons. Some use the GW stuff to make it, but it should be easy enough to scratch-build. My conversion used an Avatar, some chain and the cauldron from the original cauldron model.
