Replies: 28

I'd like to set this assassin thing to rest. Assassins displace, I say again, DISPLACE, a normal trooper. This is not replace in any shape or form. They move along with the unit, along not as part of it. You also PLACE the model in the unit. The rules say nothing about taking anohter model out. You...

Dude, I hear what you are saying... but then in the skaven book doesn't it also go on to state that the rank and file is not removed??? Remember, however, if its too good to be true its probably not true. I agree with you, that it would be hard for another to count all the troops in a unit since its...

I use her as a sorceror, put her on a steed and place in dr unit. Cheaper, plus I like the model.

Otherwise everyone targets her, easy points.

Most memorable moment, and I kid you not, you gotta read this: A friend had taken an assasin, and took it out of a unit to charge an uber unit of 10 black orcs plus back orc general. Challenged the orc general, killed him, ALL FOUR ATTACKS WORKED! Won combat by 1, over-ran the orcs, right into his a...

there could be some kind of upgrade for single CO beast (and rule for noble's/highborn's cold-one) as a herdleader - others beasts follows him that kind of upgrade for +10/15 pts would be great (and also could solve the problem with COC => +20/25 for both CO beasts) Agree with you all about banner,...

An assassin is an individual character right? And characters can join skirmishers yeh? (page 115 of the rule book) see where I'm going (he says very tongue in cheek) Alright I know, he can move along with them but not with hidden status. Still if your opponent was a bit dumb, he might just think he...

And I'd still maintain (unless proven otherwise), that HtH casualties do not carry over to Champions (or Hero's).[/color] Common sense ought to prevail here IMHO. If you cause 10 wounds on a unit of basically standard troops and there are only 8, one of which is the unit champion - he should die. I...

Who here likes to gamble?

Sometimes I do this. It has worked once but it sure was neat. I give the assasin the killing blow option. Then when I challenge his heroes, any sixes I roll to wound and he dies immediately (unless warded damnit)... its humourous how it can be so tragic. Ever taken a unit of executioners and attacke...

Apologies if my "boring" comment offended, I omitted to put a smiley after it, as is normal with my tongue in cheek humour.

But I stand by my last comment to you attempting to answer your question. :D :D :D

With all the losses, you'd think the DeSades would be executed by Malekith by now, just joking man, I been there. Hordes suck. The only way I can deal with then is by taking units that can attack a lot, such as witch elves, and sometimes taking rxb w shields actually works against them. Why are you ...

Stupid Cold One Banner

My bloody orcs get a banner that prevents animosity once per game for 10 points. Why don't we get one that works once per game for the supid cold ones? I like the dark elf list in some ways but this particular thing seems kinda wrong. I don't think it would be that unbalancing. Anyway I know this ha...

I've often wondered why they didn't incorporate the drow thing, perhaps have giant spiders for our knights to ride.. They would be fast (druchii way right?) and could climb over obstacles unimpeded, plus perhaps quick in combat with poison attacks instead of S4 attacks... NO STUPIDITY. I like the co...

Let's say, you have 10 models, full command. Enemy charge and inflict 11 wounds. Your Champion would still be the last man standing. The excess 2 wounds don't count onto him. That is because the enemy did not specify that they are dividing some of their attacks onto the champion. The champion stand...

Rule Question concerining Champions

Ok here's a question that's causing some debate hereabouts. If you have a unit of corsairs, with standard, musician and champion, in a 5x4 unit (5 across, 4 deep) and someone charges it with a regular unit and wipes out five corsairs, does that include the champion? In other words, does the champion...
