Alright well that makes some more sense, thanks for the responses.

I was curious to see what others thought about the rider. Given the fact that they FAQed fast cav made me wonder about whether the 'fly' rule might be viewed in a similar light.

Ok, not trying to be difficult just want to make a stronger argument. Thanks.

It's a 2000 point tournament, against other armies, I really need to screen the sos with something, I already have corsair models, they aren't too bad with their 4+ save. Sword of anti-heroes is a good idea. The bus has the ring of hotek in it and so it's either 2+ on warlocks or 4+ on heroes. Every...

I recently became aware of how the warlock bus stuff can work and I realized that I have no chance against it with the above stuff. So I wanted to try to come up with a list without resorting to fighting fire with fire. Here it is 2000 points... Supreme sorceress, level 4, pegasus, cloak of twilight...

I think there are people that will argue against that interpretation for sure, it's not crystal clear and certainly the devil's advocate in me would contest it. Given this game is in its 8th iteration, the source of ambiguity that surrounds units vs models vs targets is a little frustrating, I guess...

That warlock bus stuff is a little crazy. I imagine on the blood and glory battle people will be going after your dark riders to 'break you'. Perhaps splitting into 4 groups with standards to make it a little harder?

I second guessed myself on this one, the faq here on page 5: m Last column, 4th question, appears to say no. Can a Wizard use a scroll if it isn’t allowed to make a dispel attempt, for example the spell was cast with irresistible force or the wizard has previously failed to dispel a spell that turn?...

I was wondering how the interpretation of this worked on characters mounted on flying mounts. Do you get the 5+ ward save against the wounds from the character? Item states: This item grants the bearer a 5+ ward save against wounds caused in close combat by models that have the Fly special rule. In ...

Ok works for me, thanks for the reply.

I tried searching but I didn't see anything jump out with regard to this. Sisters of slaughter have the trial of blades ability that states: Models with this rule receive +1 To Hit and To Wound if at least one enemy model in base contact with the unit has a higher Weapon Skill or Strength characteri...

I guess I never realized just how nasty that warlock bus can be, I saw it in action tonight. 4 Masters/Lvl 4 SS on dark steeds in unit of warlocks, throw all your dice at juiced up savage beast of horros. Combined, the masters are pumping out 24 strength 9 attacks (str 4 + 3 (horros) + 2 from lance)...

Not an expert by any means, so take with a grain of salt. I'm not sure what type of chaos army you are facing but I've found executioners to struggle a bit vs chaos warriors. They have same WS and I, so you really need to get miasma off or executioners are in trouble. On paper, I think non-CoB boost...

Pretty new here too, I would definitely recommend some dark riders, they are incredibly useful. When I started I had majority infantry and honestly, dwarves and empire will blast you to smithereens. Not sure what you go up against but like others have said, attrition isn't a great style of combat fo...

Edit: scratch this as well. Thanks for the comments, about the BSB I was originally thinking I might be able to squeak by without it. If I go with a BSB, I think I'd drop the hag and switch to a master, still ruminating on it. From my limited experience, I get the feeling I'd need 3+ RBT before they...

As I understand it the Lichebone pennant won't give any benefit as the CoB already has MR (1), and MR isn't additive but pick the highest.

Thanks for the reply. I thought about the BSB but my concern is that the hag dies pretty easily and with the VP rules that's an extra 100 for my opponent. I'll need to think about it some more. I've recently used 2 RBT and, honestly, I've not had much luck with them. On single shots, I either miss o...

EDIT: scratch all this below I read through this list, Council of light - my 3 cents - army development and results , and thought it was pretty interesting. I'm deciding on whether or not to pony up some cold hard cash to play in a tournament and I figured if I do, I'd try to base something similar ...

Pretty new here as well but it was pointed out to me, you can't have more than one magic item from each magic 'category'. Armor of Destiny and Dragonhelm are both in the magic armor section so that's not allowed. It seems to me that the gem of spite is pretty situational in that something bad (misca...

Thanks for the reply. Yeah hag bsb is pure offensive that's for sure. I'm still new, so I'm trying to make sure I understand the rules thoroughly, I thought the hag was pretty cool though. I figured if I used the standard of discipline, I would then need to fail two 7 or lower rolls on 2d6 which wou...

Ah, makes sense. I wasn't sure, putting Sorceress in WE runs risk of madness of Khaine or is sorc immune to that?

Grats on your win, especially against those damn bearded midgets.

Which unit did your sorceress go in, the corsairs? Sorry for nab question, what is FC?

I have a question, if I change my master to a death hag, I see that she can be a BSB but I don't see anything that prevents me from putting her in my unit of executioners. So if I do that and she has witchbrew, the executioners have 2 attacks each ? I'm assuming I can use BSB rule to re-roll forced ...

Thanks for your feedback, I'll pick up some dark riders next. I'll upgrade sorceress to level 4 and master to BSB, I'd like to increase the size of the executioners as well. The reason I have 10 corsairs with reaper handbows is to protect the executioners, they 4+ save rather than 5+ save. Honestly,...

Hey all, I currently have 1000 pt list but wanted to expand to 1500 pt. I mostly play against WoC, Dwarves, Empire and Skaven. This is what I usually go with: Heroes: Master - 135 Halberd, sea dragon cloak, armor of fortune, dragon helm Sorceress - 115 Lvl 2 upgrade, (usually shadow lore) Core: 19 B...
