Inside a unit, you avoid turn 1 cannon ball (look out, Sir) or magic missile.

No you dont Not in infantry anyways.

You cant get look our sir unless you are the same unit type/ base size!

I will have to see if my mounted DL figure on a CO ends up in the front rank of a spear block, or attached to the CoKs Watch out for that mate. He no longer gets look out sir unless he is in a cavalry unit. I kind of agree with you about the COK. Changes to fear, mounts losing hatred and the new st...

Half points are no more. As long as one bloody handed son of Khaine lives your opponent gets zip. I am considering trying out micro units of 5 witches just for the hell of it. For 50 points you can just push them forward and see what happens. They can do some of the same things as harpies only bette...

I would use the COK. A cauldron boosted charge from these guys will do around 12 casualties. They will also be super maneoverable if they are passing Ld checks on ld 10 to march. You will need this is you want to get them out on the flank. Besides, they look great and will attract a lot of attention...

Looking t the book today I noted another nail in the assassins coffin.

Champs can refuse challenges and still fight
Characters who refuse challenges are moved to the back of the unit and are replaced with a R&F model.

Im not sure what they are for anymore

I would agree but Mr Mum wants to go character light. Shades might not be as bad as people think. Being able to: deploy anywhere within 12" of the enemy. March, reform AND shoot in 1 turn. I think that 'optimum' builds will come down in favour of one of our support units. Im not sure which one ...

switch the banner on the CoKs for the BoHG just for the re-rolls. I wouldnt go with that myself. Hatred gives riders rerolls anyway Cold ones are too slow to get any ASF rerolls You dont want this unit in protracted combats You could try it and see what benefit you really get but i think that the B...

I faced a similar situation over Christmas and although i came through unscathed in the end It was truly terrible and not to be repeated!

Good to hear you are turning back to more trivial matters. It took me a while too but Im sure you will be fine.

The banner of Hag Graef will be seen far less often. We infinitely hate the only army that it would be really useful against and moderately hate everyone else anyway. Daggers of hotek got worse too but they were pretty lame to start with. The corsair frenzy banner will be utterly useless unless we f...

I know its dull as hell but i think you should have a dispel scroll. Nice touch ptiing the standard of discipline on the COK. With Ld 10 stupidity should be less of an issue. The dark riders, harpies and shades will be great war machine killers. Definitely required now that artillery has improved.

Wait for your last turn or when you feel that the game is going against you. Fly or trot your Level 1 mage 1" away from a nice expensive unit facing another expensive unit. Roll all your dice at the same time and hope for the big miscast. Laugh as you are sucked into deaths dark realm along wit...

You throw a few fireballs if it floats your boat.

I want to play with my new purple ball of dwarf bowling.

I cast 5 spells under the inluence of the hex scroll yesterday. The nerves were jangling but not a single double was rolled. My opponent was a little miffed Despite what i was saying about having a lvl 4, I actually think that a lvl2 with TOF is a solid choice here. With the way that power dice are ...

Casting the purple ball of death is going to be problematic with its value of 18+

18 isnt that high for a lvl 4 with the stabby dagger. The dagger helps avoid miscasts as well.

Just remember to cast the big spell last so that failure doesnt end the casters phase.

8 harpies is a little pointless. you still take panic if you lose 2 models.

I would lose a dark rider and get 2 units of 5 harpies instead.

CoBs are totally separate being war machines. The crew will stand in front and die in CC as usual with some chance of dying from random shooting. Warmachines now have a combined profile and a number of wounds equal to the crew. Ranged attacks use the T of the machine as the crew hide behind it. H2H...

Theres going to be an errata/faq and Im sure that if there is any ambiguity it will be cleared up then.

Still dont really see what the big deal is to be honest

Why does this matter? The hydra is a killing machine even without the handlers.

Has the reaction table changed?

Im running a demon army at the moment and my character selection is going to change a bit. My keeper and Slaanesh herald will lose their magic upgrades My tzeench wizard will go with Master of sorcery and spellbreaker. Same casting and dispel dice for fewer points, a much better lore and less risk o...

We came up with a pretty good one last night. 100 Night Gobbo's with nets and fanatics containing 5 night gobbo heroes with great weapons Basically the enemy has to designate specific attacks to the heroes leaving some half killed and able to strike back with 15 S6 hits. You then get jabbed in the k...

Despite all the talk of hordes dominating I think that 4 units of 15 crossbowmen might be better. Perhaps go for a 30 and 2 15's I would also lose a unit of dark riders and get 2 more units of harpies. I agree with Mr Anderson on magic as well. Death lore is made for us. Especially doom and darkness...

Put a tiny piece of polystyrene in the join and superglue

No need for pinning.

Rock hard in seconds

I hope you don't get a free reform after a failed charge. Or do you? You dont. Although I diddnt have the book ehn it happened in the game. Fleeing is fine unless you are protecting a unit from being charged. Then you speedbump which delays the advance for a turn at least or sends the enemy unit of...

No sliding, but you get a free weel up to 90 degrees at the beginning of charge to align to the enemy, and then another free wheel to maximise contact. You *will* get maximum models into combat if you're in range. Not necessarily. I overran from less than an inch away but the angle of my unit meant...

That makes the ring even better than it is now. I played a game today and the miscast table id pure evil.

Perhaps there will be something specific in the DE errata
