Basically yes.
At the ETC you can play with dragons by dodging cannonballs and rocks in match ups, but in a normal game, most terrain is smaller or lower then a dragon, or most of the other large targets (apart from mayby the Hydra or Abom)

I never use olny two units of ogres as core, but if I recall correctly, gnoblars don't count for minimum core. The tooth gnoblars are useless, you have to declare them before you cast and if you roll a 2 on one die, you still fail the spell. Hunter character is overrated and not better then a third ...

As far as worst games go in terms of worst opponents: I haven't played against this guy, but bear with me. The person in question, a sweaty fourty-or-something-year-old, frequents many tournaments in the Netherlands. He plays an Empire gunline, which is frustrating enough to face on its own, but wa...

I like it very much.
Great banner
I can see what phierlihy says though.
It seems like an evil Hello kitty banner.
A little more shading on the skull might help I think.

In the end, that banner caught my eye, so don't change it for me, I'm already loving it.

Shame GeOrC, that you didn't win. I can see why though. Not because of your painting (I must admit at this laptop I can't see the details that well) but there are a lot of elaborate entries (the winner, but also the banners and the titan). I must say, that the concepts are nice at this GD. Special L...

I think that the overall spread in points was quite okay. The best army got an average of less then 2 over 10. Only Beasts and in lesser extend orcs came out of focus, but that's just two. I made a mistake by the way, I had about 50 points and not 70 (I was thinking of 10 under and counted 8 games i...

Not me. I had about 70 points with my dark elves.
But the last 4 points was a tactical pairing ( I was meant to get more points, then the wood elves player who wiped his opponent of the table) so we played 24-16 against those two guys.

My list was there: Dreadlord on dragon killingblow lance, armour of eternal servitude, mundain armour (as much as possible) ring of darkness scroll caddy. BSB on coldone with hydra banner and full mundain armour 3x5 dark riders with xbows and musician 5 harpies 7 shades with GW 9 shades 6 cold one k...

The Italians will not be blacklisted from the ETC. ... Let's look to the greatness of the ETC event and not the misunderstandings between 2 teams. As it should be. The greatness of the ETC is undisputed and even if this one game was as the worst buzz was, then it was 1 in 600 games. And the total o...

Dangerous beans.
there are two weekends: one for 40k and one for fantasy.
The 2000 is for fantasy, the 1500 is for 40k

The worst battles I have ever played from a non-WAACY perspective are the ones I had to play against a certain guy who only visits a few tournaments a year, tends to think he knows the rules to the bone, and then fails miserably. Very irritating to hear how he swears his dark elf troops (bandwagon ...

I think it's very poor gaming to blame it all on dice. Of course there are games where dice really mess up everything, but your opponent will notice when that happens too. Funnily enough I can play games against the hardest of armies and I don't care, but I always have to watch myself when playin ag...

Actually there are two ways to avoid the bloodthirster:
charge something and overrun (which has a good chance of it) and if the bloodthirster still charges you get to fight to the front anyway.

turn around towards the bloodthirster and start dancing with him.

The old cold one knights need some tweaking with the legs.
I have a malus darkblade on manticore.

I've tried a list without magic at all and it didn't work. especially as daemons and vampire counts don't care about miscasts on doubles. Just one scroll caddy makes alot of difference. If you want to go without magic, you should include the crystal of midnight somewhere. It just might help. One thi...

I've played a list like one early on in this thread and I became a fan. What a fun list and it's more a not so obviously good list, but it's still a challenge for most opponents. Thanks guys for pointing me into this direction. The look on an opponents face when you tell them, that your 20 corsairs ...

Against dwarves? well it would be logical to have some shooting, though it is not very into the theme. when you are on the attacking side, I think many big units would be best especially more on witch elves and black guard, because they will arive. MDK: are you going to the BotC and if so are you go...

consider the basing idea hijacked/ stolen, kidnapped.
Great looking army you've got there and the dipping is indeed making it better.

Things the organizer has influence on: I think that a tournament is not an arena of death. So things, that make you leave the big fighting and/or magic casting character at home, are nice. I know that some armies are more effected by that, but overall, it looks more like two armies are fighting each...

Jawdropping!

Very cool and if this is the standard for your whole army I'm even more looking forward to it.

What models did you use?

GeOrc or DA:
Could you post the list used against the vampire counts?
I saw some indications, but not all.
I'm just curious as I'm trying new things and I like the feel of the list.
Thanks.

I don't like that sword grip. Too limp wristed pansyhighelf looking

Does that mean NO?

I don't think it's a good pose for a dark elf lord either.

So DA will be based upon something that has been a dancing high elf?
Way to praise him

Are you handing it to him at the ETC? I'd love to see the end in real life

Or I don't know if I want to see the other army without bursting into tears.

It looks great, I love to play against armies like this one.

2 cold one knights left standing against a Keeper of secrets.
They had to make a break test on 3 dice (lowest doesn't count) to not break.
I rolled 1,1,1

A captasus charged a unit warhounds.
he did nothing, I did one wound and broke him.
