I find it interesting that in our last codex they were only 11 points a model. I don't know what their rules were at the time, but I got that from the back of the 6th ed. rulebook's stats on all armies. Anyone know what justified a 5 point increase? And like so many others, I second the waste of poi...

Can someone tell me why they would remove this armor save modifier in the FAQ, or did I just not notice it when reading the 7th book. I checked again and its quite explicit in 6th that it helps you, as it should in my opinion. As it was, I found this out looking for how to handle challenges, but now...

Additional thoughts: Daemon Heart - 60 pts one-use, irresistable force spell and then d6 s3 no AS hits on sorc. Would anyone use this? On average it will kill almost kill a level 3/4 sorc. Not to mention I would like to know the fluff of where they got a demon's heart, how it works, and such. But an...

Ant beat me to the punch on everything he said, so I just have one question: With pit of shades the way it is, also spirit of the forge (just saw it wipe out a unit of 10 CoK in one casting at a local tourney) why isn't our 12+ spell stronger? I would say dark magic is great, but if you're proposing...

Out of curiousity, DancingPigeon - with that type of beastmaster, would characters be allowed to ride one of the listed monsters without taking the aspect, or would it raise the cost of taking a manti/dragon/peg even more?

Unpredictable Beast Cold ones are perhaps the most unpredictable animals of all, sometimes distracted by shining lights and other times an unstoppable wall of muscle and claws. At the Start of Every Turn take a stupidity test as normal, however if the test is failed one of two things can happen. If...

I believe Ant's comments are more on track with my own than Vorchild's. Bumping points to justify things is better than removing many of the things you've added, since your fluff is very well thought out. After reading all the posts I've somewhat forgotten my thoughts, but here goes... Unpredictable...

If you have a weapon whose range is less than the distance you're being charged from, then you move the chargers to that distance (assuming the charge will succeed.. if their failed move keeps them outside of that distance then I guess you don't shoot) and then you shoot. So if you're charged by som...

I'm curious why you used a scroll on dispelling troll guts on turn 1 instead of dispelling it in your turn with your power dice, unless you knew it was the last spell he could cast maybe and thus knew if it was the worst one he had. But I didn't notice a mention of your sorc. casting, so it seems li...

I've been wondering what to do in a 500pt game against Brets. My friend wants to use the skirmish rules, but I think that they restrict me more than him as well as help him, by not requiring him to use a BSB. The rules make it so that only lvl 1 sorc's, char. points <= 150, 1 special slot, and minim...

My laptop and only computer has a Go 7400. I hope it works. I think it will. This is true to an extent. Generally, you can fudge CPU and RAM min specs- Video Cards, are a bit more complicated. Many newer games use some of the new(ish) techs, such as environmental mapping, which require pixel shader...

I am also curious, so I just wanted to keep this in public view and hopefully get some responses from the master modelers out there. Help us beginners! (I hope I'm breaking one of the forum commandments, don't remember right now <winces>).

Fileplanet really wasn't a bad place to download it from. I just used a free account and had it in about an hour and a half, including the wait time while queued. As for the minimum specs, I can disagree with them a little, at least, you can fudge it with just a little boost in one area and a small ...

If I'm not mistaken on the abbreviation, you've said you're taking a level 1 sorceress with the Darkstar Cloak, yes? Isn't this a waste since you already have 3PD and a max use of 2/turn? Unless this is more anti-magic, if we can still hold power dice into the opponents turn to dispel with - I haven...

I know now what I had confusioin about. Its not fleeing from combat, its fleeing from a charge. I think I saw this in another thread but there was no consensus on it IIRC (and I can't find it now). So, I'm sorry to rez this one if unnecessary, just give it a glance and comment/close as seen fit. Pg....

Noble w/ HA, SDC, BSB, Hydra Banner 185pts Which unit will this guy go in? Seems like a lot of points on the hydra banner when the best target for him is the BG unit. Perhaps this is a good combination, in which case someone please let me know. I always expected to see that in a unit such as CoK if...

So we are in agreement that the loser of the battle, if broken, has no choice but to stand there and fight with flank models, even if its only 1 model and the rest are retarded for not helping their comrade?

I was just wondering if I missed something in the 7th edition rules or if this is correct. The question is: Can the loser of combat do anything about his combat formation? The situation was: We were messing around with the battle for skull pass, and I got a flank charge with the 5x2 spider riders on...

That's all I can say - nice list! I'm only sad to hear that it has to wait for you to finish with some stinking wood elves before it comes into being.

I've noticed in threads recently that most people think magic won't be a big worry in games up to 1000 points. While I haven't gotten a chance to play my DE w/ 7ed yet, this seems reasonable given the changes made to magic. Anyway, thus according to others, you may be better off using the sorc's poi...

Highborn 547
Sea Dragon Cloak, Shield
Crimson Death, Crown of Black Iron,
Blood Armour
Dragon

Crimson death is 2-handed, so any shield could only be used at range. Not a problem with BA after a few kills, but something to consider when swapping things in and out.

From this list I would assume that the big block of corsairs is there to soak up a charge. If that is so, consider that they not only cost more than spear elves, but also when charged the first rank will suffer heavy casualties in either type (Corsair/Warrior). A dead corsair on the first rank does ...

I see nothing in the 7ed. rulebook which specifies this so I will assume you are going on the DE book. To quote it: The BSB cannot be given any non-magical equipment except for light or heavy armour and a Sea Dragon Cloak, or be mounted on a Dark Pegasus. The BSB can have any magic banner (no points...

This is the second thread I've seen this in, and I apologize but I can't find what it actually IS.

Please tell me - what is the MsoL?

Thanks, and sorry.

I notice that several people have said that Malus' health is less of an issue since he kills things before they can kill him. True, he is stil a beast, and maybe I missed the thread on this, but with the 7th ed. change to Frenzy how can 350pts be justified? 8 of his attacks go a lot further than 5, ...
