Calisson, it is people like you who help continue to keep the site going the right way. You new folks who contribute to the site are more important that us old folks who have become hermits.

I'll have to look into what is going on and get back to people. In the meantime, tonight, I am dealing with actual people sick and dying so lets keep it all in perspective... However one thing to be said is that many of the moderators are chosen by the membership of Dnet. If the site is deterioratin...

Yep got mine. I remember when I got the note from GW lawyers asking Kitrik to cease. Gav T was kind enough to give us advance warning it was coming. One thing we should do is put up the stencils for the production of T-shirts and allow people to make their own. That can hardly be illegal. Someone sh...

If you look at the diagrams as like the written rules, then it would mean that those rules could be applied only to orcs and empire armies. Diagrams do not show all and leave more doubts than the ones they solve. That has to be the worst response I have heard to anything. Don't be silly. As to your...

Just about everyone whines about the PoK and hydra. I totally understand them but hey, every army has something that makes other players complaining, siren song being the worst. I agree. But if you constantly use your dragon, 3 dark riders and some harpies against a begginer I can really imagine ho...

Re: Six years o_O

In the beginning CHAOS DWARFS! Yes, that's why I'm here, or at least how I got here. As a Chaos Dwarf player whose last book (Not even a proper one) was released in 1994 I was not exactly impressed with the Dark Elf community's call for their book to be redone. There was a queue, after all. And if ...

Many moves "on the edge" are actually out of it. The langmann theory about this rear charge could work if he does not encounter someone that says "the movement is not measured from the first rank, but only from the outside model (page 12)". If you read it with the rule that &quo...

Langmann, that "ass charge" isn't a legal manouver. On any change of formation no model can move any more than double their mouvement (unless I am completely mistaken, then my apologies) You're not changing formation, you are moving, wheeling. It is because the unit is so much longer than...

Whenever I meet a person in this game who is behaving like an actual dick, I always present them the "Ass Charge". Basically you make an unbreakable unit that is very long and not very wide. For the druchii what you do is take a large unit of spearmen with a BSB with the Nag banner. Then l...

Have to agree with Dalamar. Corsairs are so distinct it would be like using Black Guard models as warriors. Or High Elf Archers as warriors... honestly it would turn me off. Same with the CoK vs Dark riders. That would actually kind of annoy me, especially at a tournament, as it would be hard to dis...

@ slientdeath,

Yeah to summarize the charts need a standard deviation, or range of possiblities within 60 and 95%.

Thanks for the contribution, however.

A good lecture would be on how to properly apply statistics to table-top games, I think.

I think we are too harsh on GW. They are a business first. They're primary goal is to make money (in spite of what all of you might think, that is the sole purpose of a business). True. If they made every single list that came out perfectly balanced, then two things would happen. 1) It would be har...

Calling a single item cheesy is showcasing a blatant disregard for intra-army balancing and therefore a lack of understanding of how the game works. For example, it may balance out the fact that from the brave Dark Elf warrior to the battle-hardened Black Guard to the cruel Dreadlords, almost our e...

I really don't know what you are saying, but I love "Animal Farm". My favorite line "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
