Re: AoW shadows AND vestals/witch elfs

I like them more than GWs. I don't like how GWs are all jumping, I think they look silly ranked up.

I have enough old metals ones anway, but if I ever to buy more, AoW is definitely getting my money.

Re: executioners or black guard.

What if you were fighting Vamps? BG will be better against all of VC infantry, unless facing a deathstar. They are also immune to psychology, so you won't have to worry about fear. Executioners will fare better against Black Knights. I prefer BG overall, but I think I'm in the minority. I always ha...

Re: AoW shadows AND vestals/witch elfs

Dark elves in mordheim are extremely overpriced if you're usinflg the lustria rules. You need to give them time to earn some exoerience hopefully without crippling injuries. If you can do that they can be pretty deadly. Right. I'm using the Lustria rules... I still have that Town Crier! Our first c...

Re: 2400pt Tounament list (swedish Comp.)

Whats the score on this list? If you are near a 7, I think that's too low. I would drop the Executioners to 27. 30 is a -36 comp hit whereas 27 is only -29. Cloak of Twilight is awesome, but is it -8 comp points awesome? Something to think about.. Similarly, Warlocks are awesome. But that second uni...

Re: Best lore for my army (metal or life)

I feel like Metal is underrated. I've been using it in my army, but I take Black Guard instead of Executioners... so I need it more. For your army, I agree with the rest that Shadow would be best. Try some games out with it to see for yourself. It has a lot of answers to things and... it just feels ...

You would think that but most VC players are terrible. Years of having point and click death stars and unkillable lords have made them soft and very stupid.

I've used it in Witches for 4 games. I don't use witchbrew because I don't think the unit needs it much and the chance to fail can ruin them. I know we can kill chaff easily, but I don't like being forced to kill chaff. Sometimes I'd rather shoot something else. Game 1 against VC, a unit of 23 with ...

Re: Black gaurd or executioner?

I think the Exe's are easier to insert into a list, whereas the BG require building around. As mentioned, they're very different units, and having 30 models of each in your collection is no bad thing. I agree with this. If I'm not taking a Cauldron, then Executioners are the clear winner imo... and...

If you think that 2 rerollable str 4 attacks are something to write home about, go for BGs. With a cauldron thats about 700-800 Points, methinks. BGs always test on 9 or 10, so they will hold if they get flanked after an overrun, but thats probably the only good Thing about them. I still wonder wha...

I have never been a fan of Witch Elves. So far they have been pure gold for me. I use a Cauldron also. I didn't want to, but I think it's worth it if you take a big unit of Witches. The Cauldron is a lot of points and the Hag will die, but it's been very useful. I'm going to keeping running it until...

My biggest problem right now with the Cauldron is that it's 275 with a naked Hag. That's a lot of freaking points man. No matter what, I'll be giving the Cauldron a shot in my next game.

I know MP specifically says it doesn't effect mounts, but the Strength of Khaine rule just says models with MP reroll failed wound rolls. So it looks like mounts should get the benefit?
