Here's the first of my postings from a game last Saturday, against those stunted abominations and their pesky Organ Guns. http://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2014/12/04/whfb-taking-out-organ-guns/ I lost, but learnt a lot in how to deal with Organ Guns, in fact other than one lucky shot that killed 8 ou...

I got a right hiding from an Organ Gun firing line last w/e, for the second time. http://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2014/11/18/whfb-wipeout-part-1/ Whilst I was massacred to the last dozen Dark Elves, I felt I learnt a lot, and enjoyed the game. I've read the thread on dealing with Organ Guns. Harpies...

A couple of posts about our latest game: http://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2014/11/01/whfb-dark-elves-dwarves-empire-goblins/ Not an hour of glory. I'll be doing a post mortem post shortly as to our shortcomings. Suffice to say I HATE ORGAN GUNS AND HELLBLASTERS. And people who can't write army lists ...

Love the green on the shades and dark riders, well done otherwise nice to see the kharibdyss mucnhing away happily :-) that abysal howl is a nice ability though if he had a BSB would have been an interesting rule query because you cannot re-roll a result twice so I think (others will hopefully clar...

My write up from a 5k battle on Saturday, or rather three postings covering the game - there's about 20+ pictures. http://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2014/08/31/whfb-a-return-match-part-one/ We normally play 3k per side, but as Gav was on a Respite day (his wife needs carers in) we made a full 10.30am ...

I am seeking advice on building heroes, and Lords for a game tomorrow - a re-run of my very successful and highly aggresive 5k army from a fortnight ago. I will be fielding a dreadlord on Manticore maxed out. That said, I currently have several CoK conversions being finished off on the paint table: ...

Really useful guide here, its on my to do list to round out the army (ha!).

Have you started to paint theunit yet ? I assume you'd do each element of the model individually.

After a losing str5eak with all my armies in every genre/game, I've hit a winning streak with my Dark Elves adopting a HIGHLY aggressive throw everything in their face ASAP set of tactics. I had a game where I bizarrely (in hindsight) did not support a flank attack and snatched defeat from the jaws ...

Had a game on Saturday, each player had 2k points. Expecting volley guns and organ guns, I used the horde of Goblins as a meat shield for my CoK, and Harboth's Orcs as a speed bump for any cavalry. This sort of worked - apart from no guns being deployed by the enemy just lots of k-nigits. It was a d...

http://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2013/12/09/whfb-dark-elves-vs-lizardmen-2/

Despite a fairly random (what have I got painted) list I defeated a general who is very good with his Lizardman army today.

The combination of ASF and MP are really good.

Magic was..meh...

Game due on Sunday afternoon. 3,500 PV I may play with 'my' lizardmen army (which actually includes many of what were previously Richard's troops) - though I would plan to use the ~6 month obsolete army book as I haven't bought the new one yet (may get it as a xmas present) - assuming you don't obje...

HTH

is there a version for iMac s ?

Good batrep! Keep writing! The opponent had a very nasty army list against us poor elves. Actually you were lucky that your general defeated the arty so easily and the STank did not seem to do much. Indeed, monsters lack CR and go well along infantry. The general cruised it - the manticore he was r...

Well done

Off topic, what s/ware package are you using for the maps /diagrams ?

Right, he did indeed bring a stank, cannon, and mortars, however the main problem was the 40+ k-nig-its, and despite coming equipped with magic the dice gods ruled against me with abundant 1s, so it was a bit of a problem. On the upside, my RXB did stand up to a charge of 8 knights due t(a) shooting...

I had a game yesterday... I lost, but not without learning a sack full of ideas, against a heavily cavalry orientated army (mine was generic). Details here: m A few high spots - Warlocks are good - CoK are still good - generals on manticores can earn their keep Low spots - I still can't roll LD roll...

Ta - will provide a battle report later this evening....
And an army list for both of our armies.

Ok, 3,000 points, against an Empire army that I suspect consists of a large block of halberdiers, with detachemnts of swordsmen. A couple of hell blasters, a cannon and 2 x 3 Hippygriff units plus a unit of huntsmen and maybe a steamtrunk. I am not interested in a win per se, I want to try out Warlo...

I keep my cool by remembering the following: It's only a game You're meant to have fun Winning is the icing on the cake We didn't like them anyway (when a unit takes loads of casualties and you fail your 2+ armour save) That'll teach them not to put their heads into the meat grinder Leadership test ...

Doh ! Found the Dawnstone !

I am rebuilding my spreadsheet with the new army book.

For a BSB....

Q: Is the Banner of Nagarythe (100 points) a total waste of time ? (against fores other than HE)

If so what is the suggested option if any ?

TIA

thanks for that did not know about that rule

An interesting game: http://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2013/11/03/whfb-the-cursed-house/ Not the best army list given logistics (!), but a good outcome grinding a Skaven horde army down. Most important is to turn up with the right models, but also to build the spreadsheet with the units and all their ...
