I dont know why you have the assassain in there at all - he can only go in the shades and with just the extra hand weapon he isn't particularly impressive. Id probably, if you have the model, drop him for a master with a dark steed, sea dragon cloak, heavy armour, shield and lance which comes out to...

Interesting. Of course if Shadowblade had the Rune of Khaine then he'd see a heck of a lot of use because he'd actually be very good for his points rather than ok... Red - I'd say Shadowblade was aided by thw WoC rules as Dalamar pointed out, on his own I dont think he's particularly cheesy. Just a ...

Would you take Shadowblade again then or was he picked strictly for this battle in order to deal with Villitch?

Nice to see this resurrected - as Klyten pointed out your very first piece needs some work, the tense slipping was particularly jarring. However the more recent pieces have been flawless as far as I can tell. Really excellent work.

Looking forward to anything more you publish.

i would suggest using the pendent BSB to drag the cairn wraiths out of the way - prehaps with another character + magic weapon to back him up if things go wrong. Simply challenge and kill the banshee then see if you can keep the raises down... if not then its not the end of the world. After that the...

Hi Gramash - great article. Very informative. Just wanted to make a couple of points. About your summary of the dwarves. 1. Xbows have +1 BS over thunderers, so they are have the same chance of hitting things and with the extra 6" they are at least as good as Thunderers in many players opinions...

Two magic weapons on the same character.... thats why not

in fairness he fled from two chariots and a manticore as i read it... and 2D6 + 2 S5 impact hits would have made a mess of the saurus front rank, and most of the second too most likely once all the attacks were done. I'd say it depends how bad his flee roll was - if he botched that then it was a rea...

Id suggest the RoH plus a scroll caddy is usually enough magic defence for a couple of turns - especially if you keep the ring near the hydra and deploy carefully. Caledors Bane always denies scaly skin, even in second round of combat onwards, but is only S7 on the charge - so the rule does make sen...

I usually run a Dreadlord with either deathpiercer or crimson death, armor of darkness, and ring of darkness on my cat. This combo does well to negate shooting and combat against the manticore. Is the Armour of Darkness a better buy than the AoES? You can get to a 1+ shooting save with the mundane ...

pretty much any unit in our army can kill Teclis, a wet paper towl puts up more fight than he does in CC. Even Harpies have an ok chance of assassinating him. Basically take a semi-hard unit you dont really need, say Dark Riders, and charge Teclis (and his unit) and just throw a billion attacks at h...

Cheers for that Guys.

(although last time i checked i'm not OP )

Hi guys - just a quick one because i dont have my books with me. In a unit is there a priority as to which command model must be in the front rank? I.e. in a unit 5 wide with 4 fighty characters in the front rank is there one command model which MUST take the remaining space or is it at the disgress...

I suggest for those of your new to magic forget everything about how magic works in the game of WFB. Instead try and do practical things with it - for example I've found the best use of the lore of metal is to melt scabbards to stop swords being drawn, melt helmet visors etc. I would probably sugges...

dropping the Hag and the lance on the master would provide most of the points needed for a sword of might - which I tend to think is the best weapon on a master. It looks like an interesting list - i get a feeling the list i took to the last GT would hurt it a lot - but that list was verging on a gu...

No problem Drainal - I have other things to concern myself with as well.

Im rapidly becoming a big fan of magic - I think it adds a good extra dimension to the game both in and out of combat. More testing required of course but I like the way metal and death work certainly. So far Im not convinced about shadow - but prehaps a lvl 2 specialising in it would be able to mak...

With your permission I'd like to run another Mage - either Khalia again or a new concept.

Preferably I'd take the two level one skills running Azyr and Hysh.

If you think I've already had my turn then fair enough and I'll let someone else have a go.

"That seems perfectly doable. Unfortunately my own talents do not lie in that direction - but if nothing else I can block the exit."

Khalia agrees with the plan and will act as required, which porbably means blocking the door.

as far as i recall Swarm now means unbreakable in the same way undead are - but I'm afraid i cant tell you where I know that from.

'Thank you'

Khalia wasn't paying much attention at this point, all her senses focused outwards hoping to hear the sound of some domestic servant who could be asked, politely, for information....

Get your general a manticore or dragon. Let the retainer have his little pet - you get a big one! It's a hard choice really - the easy way to make it viable in game terms is to take a unit or two of harpies whose only job is to stop him getting shot. They can then join in on charges if you want to g...

"I can work with that."

Khalia will go along with the plan.

I do like having magic in the game - I'd suggest a little more testing, prehaps another short one like this using most of the other lores in order to check it out. Life and Heavens in particular i think would require a little testing - but overall im really enjoying it.

Sillyhammer indeed - i applaud it.

I still cant get my head around a sorc with the ring of hotek, but I guess no-one expects it...

Do you actually intend to win with this list or is it just for the lolz?
