How can we say if a unit get worst without a point system? Bg should be great at 10 and sucks at 30..But why should I ever use non elite unit? Why should I field everything but dreadlord if I want to win? Aos is not a game, since it doesn't have playable rules, if it's mean to be a parade then the b...

So skaven slaves and warriors of chaos have same wounds so they are balanced... Bretonnian Knights for example have all 2 wounds each, why should I take everything but grail Knights? It's like buying a wonderful Ferrari, without the engine, then you have to build one yourself. Maybe this is no more ...

Why you didn't use the point system for 8th instead?

It's not a question of friendly game or not, even my 6yo son would complain if I give him 30 warrior of chaos and I take 30 skaven, that's not fun, that's a game unplayable.

Ok, many agree that points are gone but I think this must be true for the aos set only. When GW give use warscrolls for old armies or characters I think that we must use the old point system with new rules. (.. And the old rules for all the rules untold in the new 4 pages" rulebook"). If n...

It's only rumors but I refuse to think that ET it's a normal campaign, and 9th edition will be set few years before ET events like nothing happened with all characters back at their place... That said if 9th will take place atfer ET some armies lack a minimun number of named characters, let's look a...

Here's mine, I don't play tournaments, what I look for is to have fun with my friends... while crushing them Top 3: 1. Cold one chariots, (I really love them: cheap, hit hard, tough to kill, great to countercharge on a side or great in group of 3+ for an epic frontal charge!) 2. Warlocks (nothing to...

Since we have spellcasters devoted to slanesh, summoning some demons to fight for us looks the more natuaral ally to me!

Thanks, I don't know the ogre's rules or their magic...Anyway not a big problem I could turn to a 6 Maneater unit, with sniper and poison, and with quick to fire they are even better, 12 bs4 s4 sniper poisoned shots are impressive ...in combat they are even more impressive with something like 27 s5 ...

The problem I have with WE is they are wood elfs no really I really don't like all the dryads and ents and similiar, but maybe a gladeguard unit with a Waystalkers sniper could be a cool mercenary to use unit in Triumph and treachery... (but they can be paid by your enemy to not shoot/attack each ro...

does the magic weapon and savage beasts stack with the single sniper shoot? (don't have we book, don't know how the book explain the sniper shoot...)

other than we and empire who has the sniper rule? ogre, skaven?

sounds nasty.. but how to protect him? what Armour/save can I give him? or keep him cheap in a bunker of archers and avoid close combat until possible?

Ok let's say I want to start a small (1000-1500points) 3rd army, since I already own 4000 points DE and 3000 bretonnia, where I can find a good sniper character to have some fun with? (we are playing a lot T&T at 1000 points with 250 points in mercenaries). I know empire has the cool, but short ...

You have only one caster and no magic weapon, that coudl be a problem since vc can have a lot of ethereals and they are quite a pain... I would give the bsb and hag a magic weapon, (even bg and cok can have a leader with magic w.) and add some worlocks for magic support wiith doombolt. Also you don'...

only a lv2? if add more magic could be a cool list to play. you could even find some space for a banner of naggarythe

Removing cob, witches and executioners is quite a challenge, then make some above average units work (warriors) or some overcosted (cok, bg ang dragon) looks like a mission impossible, people want you to make such a beatiful list competitive! I think you can still squeze in sone SoS, and don't forge...

There is a slim chance that the 9th edition rulebook will bring some kind of love to spears. For example extra strength when charged, armor piercing or whatever. But for now, dreadspears are worthless. Agree, spears are the worst weapon in the game, they really need a serious bonus in 9th (maybe co...

In most of competitive lists you always see an horde of witches most with CoB, so there is no doubt they are better... Someone could say, of course they are better: their models cost more than TWICE the price of corsairs nobody would otherwise buy them! Actually is difficult to say our core are bala...

I've recently played a couple of games against Vampire Counts, and he has pretty much sat in his deploy generating ghouls, zombies and skeletons and making little or no forward move. I'm finding this quite tough to play against, since his static line doesn't give any opportunity for maneuver or try...

sorry but this list doesn't seem so strong to me... s3 shooting doesn't win games with a lot of armies: with t4 or high armour (woc bretonnia, empire, he with cavalry chariots... ) and others do the gunline better (dwarfs we and empire) and in close combat is even worst since you lose armour piercin...

I come from a bretonnian army, still love them but there is only one list to play, with minor differeces... With my DE i won with a lot of different lists, I love that my friends never know if they are going to face a shooty list, a Msu, an all mounted, a monsters list, infantry hordes... almost eve...

Tzench or nurgle I don't know which one I hate most... I always try to go around the first and shoot at the second. Anyway with razor standard the BGs perform great with 2attacks and rerolls. If the unit is too big, I put in an hero with ring of hotek. Since wc don't have shooting Bg only suffer the...

put your ss on a dark horse (dr or w unit) and flee when he charges... if your unit lose to many horses, leave for another fasy cav. if you fear his magic give her MR2 (or ring of hotek) and some warlocks. even alone with CoT can work. other you can have a serious lord in the same unit and challenge...

Too many magic items on the master (max 50)
I would change the bswords for dshards with shields least they shoot and do something.
Otherwise try to put in a fast cav ot two (maybe dr to ride with sorceress and warlocks they can help your magic fase as well and hunt warmachines or for a backcharge

Hi and welcome! I will share with you some idea: As I said in another thread a general with no protection at all in a close combat unit it's not a good idea (it's something like a 350 points gift to your opponent). I like her in a unit that stays out of trouble, maybe with a horse in the warlocks (w...

your general it's a 400 point bonus to your opponent, she will be in close combat and has no armour or save.. also if you face vc you could face ethereals, and with no magic weapons and only one caster (that can't cast magic missile when in close combat) could be a problem. As said I would add at le...
