Those look like they would be very good for Frostgrave.

even if you had 8 spearmen attacking a character that would be 4 hits and 2 wounds and then Tularis might make a save so it's not correct that spearmen would "easily kill" the characters before the executioners strike at I5.

I thought that template weapons such as cannons hit both mount and rider. It was changed from 7th ed where it was randomised.

So you won't protect your dragon from cannons with the rider catching them in his cloak.

It works great on pegasus hero's though.

that relies on you being able to kill the chaff the turn before the single bat moves into position to block your frenzied unit. For chaff clearing like that you would be better with dark riders or shades that can charge the chaff to get rid of it allowing the frezied unit to move up in the movement ...

ahh so you propose genocide by the Slann as no one will be able to keep in alignment with their plans. Same result though. As long as there are order and disorder there will be conflict and therefore a good universe for gaming. As soon as everyone is in agreement whether by choice or force then it's...

If order wins the plot collapses. If the high elves and the Slann win they have everyone marching in lock steps toward completing the Slann's grand designs. That's equally boring, refer to Michael Moorcock for reference.

if using Morathi, do we then need other monsters or peg characters for her to hide behind so she doesn't eat a warmachine to the face?

I don't think it's a shooting attack, it follows none of the rules for shooting. That doesn't make me a VC player just one that likes to understand the rules. ETC isn't warhammer, it has evolved into it's own game. There are wholesale changes to the rules, limitation on scenarios and excessivley com...

Wow combat 8.0 sounds like "its warhammer Jim but not as we know it."

It's one thing to impose some comp restrictions to put a cap on some of the worst combos it's a whole different universe when you start changing the rules as well.

if you are sticking the BSB on a pegasus you really need the 3++ ward save against shooting item otherwise you should paint a concentric circle birthmark on the pegasus. You need the charmed shield as an absolute minimum. Alternatively you need to develop the ability to catch cannon balls in your te...

not having a BSB is a fatal mistake as is relying on the BWS to be present when needed. one cannon or warmachine shot later and it's gone poof

I think 19 spears is too small to be much use. they might be a bunker at the back of the combat line.

It depends on what spell lore you have. Some spell laws are better at dealing with monsters. Death snipes, amber spear from lore of beasts, characteristic reducing spells from lore of shadow all pose problems to the phoenix. The Witches could love it as well, poison makes no difference to the S redu...

I think you are buying into the assassin press releases too much. Assassins in stories kill their victims without their victims getting a chance to fight back. They take their victims when they are asleep or unarmed in their tent. Also assassins don't go after large monsters and daemons they kill no...

It's also that the two Elven Kingdoms are evenly matched and it's easier to defend your home ground that it is to attack. You could as easily ask why the High elves have not wiped the Dark Elves out. It's very hard to invade another country accroos an ocean away from your lines of supply. There are ...

Another good book is the Gortrek and Felix novel Elf Slayer, loads of dark elf descriptions but the dark elfs are bad guys so lose. There's a dark elf vs brettonia short story and Dark elves in the Brunner the bounty hunter novels The war of the beard novel Master of dragons also has a lot of dark e...

while a raging heroes DE kick starter is good news. You are talking about a long time to get any miniatures. Raging Hereos still have not begun fulfilling the TGG kick stater.

so I would not plan on taking delivery of any raging heroes DE models until September 2015 at the earliest.

A while ago Geoorc made a unit of khainte warriors, from memory they used empire flagellant bodies and arms with corsair weapons on the arms and maybe corsair heads although the new executioner masks would be cool.

there should be pictures on this site

yes mounting your BSB on a cannon snipeable object isn't a good play. You may as well paint her tattos in concentric circles.

If you want your unit to be frenzied I'd put the hag BSB on foot as it makes her harder to attack and if challanged she can refuse or accept and look to kill one opponent.

Wait, what? They reduce the number of staff in the store and cut opening hours. The natural conclusion is surely that there will be fewer salea (fewer people to make them in less of the time). How is that supposed to increase revenue? Many stores in Asia pacific are in malls. These have expensive r...

Having your hag as the BSB is a bad idea. She will get killed easily and then you will lose your reroll.

I keep thinking that the title of this thread should be "Rumour: Dwarf Sucks Mill" I can now confirm that Dwarfs have been sighted with actual legs, the new mini kilt now goes so far as to show a Dwarfs knees. A Dwarf is also shown with lips. This breach of decency codes is totally unaccec...

The problem with rumours is that they don't generate hype then generate sensationalist apocalypse doomsaying from the internet blog and forum media. Having thousands of people online saying that things in the new book are rubbish and that the new army will need these things to be competitive / inter...

what colour is your army? Having a banner that uses colours that don't appear on any of the models will look odd no matter how cool the banner colours might look. There are sea serpent transfers available from the dark elf transfer sheet, you could use those on the banner and then paint over them in...

A nice idea, the staff is a bit too recognisable, you might want to change it for something a bit more Druchii looking.

Oh on the contrary. DP and Chimeras are loads of fun to play WITH . Not when your DP gets cannoned or magiced off turn 1-2. That kind of list is either a win big or lose big army so doesn't do well in tournaments because it will get shot off the table at least once in a tournament. So a DP and frie...
