Looking for players in the Boston, Mass, USA area. My usual group aren't around as often. Please PM me if you'd like a game.

May peace be with you,

@ Frijoles : I still believe that Executioners are crap... compared to what other armies can bear. However, they *are* cheap enough that I can make a block of them to give me ranks and I get a 5 WS5 S5 attacks with them when I charge. This reminds me of my halberd-wielding noble on pegasus that I us...

With the new errata, you might as well give the Beastmaster the Armor of Darkness.

So. . . I've played 3 games of Warhammer since February, and I'm slowly getting back into things. Tired of the old Grim Legion and wanted to try something new. .. . so here you go: ************************************************* THE CRIMSON INQUISITION: Matron Ladonna T’ull 368 – High Sorceress (L...

I completely agree with Ant. Sorry, couldn't resist I'm currently running a list with two units of riders 7- and 8-strong. The 7-strong has a banner. The 8-strong houses my fighty BSB. The *whole* point is to be able to shrug off magic and mundane missiles. Think of this: A normal 2d6 S4 missile spe...

For what it's worth, I think jamesfazzolari's army list is the right way to go if you like this style. First of all, if you drop the full command on the knights, you can squeeze this into 2000 pts (even if the riders have RXBs). If you are going 2250 or 2150, then you have even more leeway and can p...

@RasputinII: Not really, I just like to tease my fans

I *do* have a new list that I was toying with, but I've only played it once. It does feature the 7/9 riders/knights, but I won't post it until I'm 'fully' back. Haven't played a game since February

Congratulations, Vorchild. . . you've resurrected Grim Legion v.6.x Seriously, tho... the point is valid and triple chariots in the center exert lots of pressure early on (hence the illusion of 'speed'). However, one of the problems is that with only LD9, you start racking up some painful losses in ...

Place the Knights front and center with the Highborn. That way, he gets protection from missile fire, lends his LD10 to them, and can charge out 18" if needed. The unit should be 4-wide. On either flank, place a pair of chariots. So you have 2 COC, the COK+HB, and then 2 COC. LD10 is good for k...

@ scactha: When you have an army as fragile as ours, you HAVE to really really out-think your opponent to win. This is why you get all these ideas.

May peace be with you,
Ash

Maybe THAT'S why I cannot seem to get any massacres

On the other hand, I am much Edgier than you, so hah!

Yoda
You scored 37% airiness, 42% squishiness, and 63% edginess!


*Nice to know that Langmann and I are so alike

If you are talking about Cambridge, MA in USA, you can try the Harvard Square GW store or Danger Planet Games in Waltham (a very good indie store). Those are my two regular stomping grounds, and I'm always looking for a game. PM me. If you are talking England. . . well, there's not much I can say Ma...

I completely agree with Ant <sorry, couldn't resist> As for board control, what you are trying to do is maximize your options (to charge, to shoot, to move, to do whatever) while minimizing or eliminating your opponent's options. For example, you want your fast stuff to get around his battleline whi...

A few questions Ash, 1) How do you deal with Dwarves...not the new ones, but thoughts on them are good too. 2) How do you deal with flyers like griffons. 3) Are you going to post any battle reports with this list like you used to? 4) Sorry, but still wondering about the extra noble/ hero slot. :-P ...

Why a beastmaster on foot??? With the 21 spare points, you can make a noble with greatweapon to lead the corsairs. Also, why not get a 7th Cold One Knight? This will allow you to rank up the unit 4x2 with the highborn.

May peace be with you,
Ash

I really like what is going on in this thread. Perhaps it should be moved or linked to the tactics forum so even more people will read it. What I'm most interested in is defeating the skaven gunline .... SNIP As I mentioned in the post. A minor variation of this list tied against a pretty sick SAD....

Gentlemen. . . he's asked you to make an army *with the models he already OWNS* No sense in telling him to get this and get that. Here's my take: CHARACTERS: High sorceress (L4) w/ Steed, Cloak, Scroll, Wand = 358 (use the sorceress on steed for this) Beastmaster w/ Manticore, SDC, LA, Lance, Web = ...

Correct. This means that the chariot ridden by character is deployed when you deploy characters, not troops.

I frankly fail to see what the problem is. The obvious choice is the last setup, and the BSB with DR escort can easily move about to where he's most needed. Unlike the general, he doesn't have to be near the chariots/warriors until combat is imminent. My BSB tends to wander all over the board going ...

Irish, eh? That would explain your wacky color schemes The second list is definitely superior in my view. An interesting question is on the meta-subject of how to use three blocks. You mention that you always anticipate losing a block so that the other two can join battle. Do you find yourself keepi...

A few questions if you don't mind. 1. The Highborn - you meantion that he joins the dark riders. Is he above joining the heavy cavalry if the situation dictates it would be useful? Will he ever charge something by himself? 2. The sorceress - i appreciate what you are saying about her use. My only q...

It is not that they don't 'do' anything. . . it is that the infantry is more of the support units while my 'support' units are what make and break the game! If I didn't have the spears beside my chariots, any other blocks would easily march up to my chariots and invite a charge. If I didn't have my ...

Firstly: my highborn works very well. He hangs back with the chariots to keep them smart and charges out on turn 2/3 with the BSB or with a chariot or with the knights as need be. Only lost him that one game against SAD. Against chaos mortals he rocked, against dwarves he rocked, against tomb kings ...

Highlord Naga Sadow 258 – Highborn (Steed, Dragon Cloak, Hvy. Armor) - Gauntlet of Power (Str.8; no saves; strikes last.) - Seal of Ghrond (+1 dispel die for army.) - Enchanted Shield (5+ armor save.) Lady Lillith Doniita 175 – Sorceress (Level 2) - Darkstar Cloak (+1 power die for her use only.) - ...
