Cool list, I like how it is quite a bit different from the standard Dark Eldar fare. Unfortunately, I don't think your deepstriking webway portal combo is the way to go. If you end up getting that reserve roll with the bloodbrides before the portal is down they will be coming in from your table edge...

First of all, congrats on deciding to get your guardsmen organized into an army. Now on to the questions, The Valkyrie kit doesn't come with the lascannons you need to make a Vendetta, so you'll have to either buy from forgeworld or else get some heavy weapon teams and convert. Plasma guns are prett...

I voted for marines but if I could have voted twice I would have picked imperial guard the second time. That being said I really don't find that there is any lack of variety when I play 40k. The fact is that there are a huge variety of play styles built in to the five space marine books available. P...

right... dang. Revision 3 Lords: 310 Lv 4 with tome of furion, Pendant of Khaeleth, and lore of death 310 Heroes: 349 points Master on Manticore with black dragon egg, lance, shield, heavy armour, sea dragon cloak, banner 349 Core: 505 (760 with harpies and assassin) 30 spears with shields and full ...

I guess I better stay true to the title of my thread and ditch the hydra. I was unable to get a game in on the weekend but I did rethink a couple of things in my list. After reading this article I thought that maybe a sneaky assassin could replace my hydra. He would probably go in one of the shade u...

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. Remember Lore of Death damage spells lets you generate PD back. 5 Spells raises your chance of getting THE spells you want/need. Every single spell is a want for me, including the signature. Exactly! I want all of the spells in the lore, especially doom and darkness...

(EDIT: Newest list on 9th post. Also, title may no longer be completely accurate) Lords: 290 points Lv 4 with tome of furion, talisman of protection, and lore of death 290 Heroes: 324 points Master on Manticore with black dragon egg, lance, shield, heavy armour, cloak 324 Core: 665 points 30 spearme...

Glad to finally read the end to this story. It was definitely worth the wait!

I'm actually thinking of doing something similar with ghouls instead of 'nets. The wings do look pretty good.

Page 31 of the rulebook:

under gets hot:

Because of their additional cooling systems, weapons on vehicles are not affected by this rule.

So in other words, your executioner if fine

That makes a lot of sense

Thanks for the quick answers.

This came up recently in my last game and I wasn't sure how to handle it. There was a chaos warrior unit that had been whittled down to three guys, a champion, and the battle standard bearer. I got spirit of the forge off and landed seven hits on the unit. This is where the confusion starts. I know ...

...So, would you be happy to have your HE opponent tell you that there is a banner, somewhere in the whole battlefield, providing an advantage to his magic phase, and you cannot know which unit or BSB is holding it until you destroyed the right banner? That's the way we've always done it in my area...

You actually aren't allowed to have a turret and nothing else. The tank comes with multi laser turrent, which can be switched for a heavy flamer or heavy bolter, and a hull heavy bolter which can be switched for a heavy flamer.

Looks like a nice list. For your chimeras, I would recommend the multi laser and heavy bolter combo. Assumming that you won't be moving these units too much, you can use the chimera as a decent firebase. If you plan on moving them, or if your enemies usually get close to you quickly, I would recomme...

A fourth came at him but was cut down by a bolt pistol before he’d moved more than a step.

Err... aren't bolt pistols more of a 40k thing?

Minor nitpicking aside, it was quite the enjoyable read. Looking forward to seeing more.

I'm glad to hear that this is being looked at.
I'll stick with firefox for now, just in case.

Is there something wrong here? I'm using Google Chrome as my web browser, but this annoying window keeps popping up when I visit my favorite site.
It seems fine on firefox...

Static combat resolution (or SCR) is combat resolution that you get without really doing anything. This includes things like ranks, banners, and the outnumbering bonus. Typical SCR units are cheap, so you can afford to buy enough to get ranks. Spear Elves are a prime example. Active combat resolutio...

What a fantastic idea. Here's my list. Bloodthirster with obsidian armour, axe of khorne 525 Mounted Slannesh herald with siren song 140 Epidemius 135 Nurgle Herald on foot with noxious vapours 140 13 Bloodletters 156 8 Furies 96 11 Deamonettes, musician 138 20 Pink Horrors 240 13 Bloodletters 156 3...

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm sure my opponent will be glad to hear that he was right, and I finally understand why people like black guard so much.

Here's my take on the situation I would have the lord and Unit E (damsel lance) charge the thirster. The lord challenges, and has a small, but decent, chance of surviving the round. If he gets killing blow, it will have been worth the risk. Revised: Now the Lord, Damsel lance, and pegasus knights ch...

If a stubborn unit is outnumbered by a fearcausing enemy, and it lost a round of combat, will the stubborn unit autobreak or take an unmodified leadership test? Sorry if this one's obvious, but I don't have access to the rulebook for a while. When this came up in a game two weeks ago, we played it t...

This looks like fun. Witch elves and dark riders double charge the central bloodletters. Hopefully hatred, combat resolution, and poison should finish them off pretty quickly. Hydra moves to intercept the right bloodletters, then sends in the (assuming he has full wounds) high strength breath weapon...

Yep. Time to break out the sniper squads
