The wording for casting is interesting it say A WIZARD can only attempt to cast these spells once per turn. Which to me means that you can only attempt to cast arcane bolt and mystic shield once irrespective of how many wizards you field, otherwise it would of said EACH not A. Caps are just to high...

Well, 50 RBT's stretches belief, but if you do have 50 RBT's then you don't really need the hollow square formation, or anything else. They'll shred everything. If I understand your point, is it that without points to limit you and assuming you were a billionaire, and also assuming that your oppone...

However, a single massive regiment buffed by 5 Sorceresses seems like a spectacularly bad idea. There are so many ways to get around it and leave it vulnerable. One is hunting down the sorceresses, obviously, with war machines, shooting, flyers, and so on. But... Or you're playing against undead an...

With the Pay to Win strategy why use normal troops at all when you can field heroes? A hundred Sorceresses will easily kill the unit of 100 black guard. Having one very wide unit with the Sorceresses might be a good idea though - you could use a few of the Sorceresses to boost the units armor to 1+ ...

Malekith, the Eternity King kills ANYTHING AND ANYONE in a non-assisted 1on1 fight. In a non-assisted fight, probably yes. However, consider the following Bretonnian tag-team: - Bretonnian lord, virtue of heroism, Sirienne's locket: this guy can only suffer a single wound during any phase (though h...

2 questions 1) okay so everyone is a lore master now , so my lvl 1 now knows all spells from my selected lore for the game (let's say dark) but because she is a lvl 1 I presume I can only select one of those spells to cast per magic phase (albeit over and over again) a level 2 two spells, lvl 3 thr...

Sisters of the Thorn with a Sorceress spamming Power of Darkness (those ranged attacks start to hurt after a few casts!) BotWD Witch/Exec horde (that moves 20" the first turn because of Malekith) is probably somewhat broken too. Then there's stuff that's broken without any combos due to the new...

"Each End Times spell can be cast only once per Magic phase, and cannot be dispelled if successfully cast." Does this mean, that you can dispel them as normal, but the rip spells etc. can't be dispelled once they are in game? Since only the casting attempt is successful before the dispel a...

I think the cast many low level spells is a good way to go now - especially with lores like shadow. Another thing these changes might cause is that combos become more viable. It'll actually be quite hard to stop miasma -> shades, since you can cast both of them many times. Miasma spam could be quite...

It's great Could this be either stickied or at least linked to a stickied thread?

Adding the reroll to wound from cauldron would be interesting if you have the time to do that.

I'm not sure about this, but does Malekith's weapon allow destroying magic items with magic missiles? I don't have the book at hand atm, but if I remember correctly it doesn't say anything about close combat. It does specify this at the destroying wizard levels part though, so that wouldn't work. Ma...

I get the same values as you, Dark Knight: Executioners (7/12/17) > Witch Elves (2/5/10) > Sisters of Slaughter (2/6/10) > Black Guard (2/5/9) So, even in the best scenario, the Executioners do not score 20 wounds (but 17). For completeness’s sake: if I calculate the average number of wounds Execut...

Very interesting to read all of this! And very useful for figuring out what units are optimal for fighting what other units. I have a question for HERO, however, because maybe its just me but I do not understand the numbers you are awarding our DE units in specific match-ups. For instance, you writ...

Hello Swaiper 4 strength 5 or 6 attacks + pegasus' attacks is plenty for it. The lord is very durable and is not an easy target at all. The usual pegasus lord is equipped with something like pendant, crown + something else. It can be a 1+ as, t4 flier with the reverse ward save from pendant and stub...

shade death star + pegasus lords (ring of hotek might be interesting for one of them) + hydras + 1 warrior unit to be sacrificed perhaps?

Morathi with sac dagger is kinda funny, she can often cast the whole lore in one turn.

That's a rather weird format to play and might be quite broken What you want to bring depends greatly on what your friends bring.. Do you all have your "own" magic phase, or do share the pool? You will likely want to bring another lvl 4 if the pool is not shared (probably death, or maybe s...

Well the problem with Black Guard is that their unit size is limited to 20, they still have their uses, but that restricts them alot. Their str4 helps against higher armor, but they should be given the armor piercing banner if you are using them for that. Still I find Executioners and Cold One Knigh...

That is certainly a strong list already. I would definitely use shadow magic with it. I'd drop the Black Guard and the chariot myself and add musicians to the Dark Riders and make the Witch Elf unit bigger or add a Pegasus hero. Our Pegasus heroes are very good and more Witch Elves would make the un...

With infantry heavy army I would normally pick shadow magic, since they benefit from it alot. However, have you thought about using our own Dark Magic? I don't use it very often, but it might be quite useful for your army. It's short range is often a problem, but should be very much less so with a s...

Hmm the Ring could be rather annoying, but its not that hard to destroy it. If Black Guard has it, then just shoot them down, they are really vulnerable to shooting (especially to hydras flame...) It's possible to kill things that are out of the rings range anyway. Haven't played against the new WoC...

Valten lost to Archaon during the Storm of Chaos, so can't be him. I would probably give my vote to the 2nd gen Slanns like Voodoomaster and perhaps Malekith after them.

The cheesiest list I can come up with would be Morathi and three level two Sorcerers. The rest of the army would include three units of Dark Riders, two Hydras and Shades and Harpies with the remaining points. There's no way anyone could catch that list and you have a ridicilous amount of magic, ver...

Hmm ye, I will add at least the ring to a Dread Knight. I only know 1 player who likes to take heavier magic, so magic defence isn't very important here. So you would all agree that changing the Cauldron to a caddy is worth it?

Played a game against High Elves with it, they had 2 mages and the magic wasn't that big problem. Killed the other mage with harpies at turn 2 and the other couldn't do that much alone. I hid my army behind terrain, so I that he couldn't shoot anything at turn 1. Black Dragon took 3 wounds from shoo...
