Re: First AoS Tournament in the UK?
Mo ran Clash and I'm working with him on the pack (I'm running London's Calling in November). We've pulled together alot of the TOs in England and are trying to massage the comp/pools for the next set of tournaments. We're essentially looking to work on a base level of comp/pools and then each TO ca...

Re: SCGT2015!
Mine is 2 or 3. Still expect to win at least 5/6 games. Had two practice games so far, and while I'm not a fan of the comp am pretty certain the build I have would not be available in most other tournments. If you're a Dnet poster, come find me on the Fri/Sat night - I'm the guy with 'Amit' or 'Choc...

Re: SCGT2015!
Tough to be honest.
I have c180 points left to spend on a unit with a banner.
The main two options I've been considering are 5 Cold Ones with +1 move
12 White Lions, Gleaming Pennant

Re: Cold One Knights
The multi Peg list, the Dark Rider bus varients etc. I've been trying to min/max as much as possible, and this means focussing on the best things in the Dark Elf book (speed and precision). I've been running alot of aviodance - and with most tournies I attend having sort of comp on death, Dark is st...

Re: Cold One Knights
I've stopped using the bus now - just so many better builds out there.
That being said, the bus grabbed me 6 top 10s last year, so it's viable

Re: SCGT2015!
I'll be there - took 3rd a few years ago with Dark Elves and not taken DE back there since.
Having said that, I'm currently looking at a Host of the Aesterion list that comps me a 5, but I think can compete in every phase and has multiple fast banners for the scenarios

Re: Getting Witches into combat
Jal- The trouble with that is that the enemy places the chaff 1 inch in front of the unit as far to a flank as possible so that if i change it becomes a flank charge. So even if i places my own chaff behind the enemy unit, I would still be facing the wrong way after combat and my flank would be exp...

Re: Getting Witches into combat
The obvious choices are to chaff up his counter charge units or to block off your own over-run. eg: You have a unit of witches that will be forced to overrun once wiping out a small unit. Declare charge, push witches into combat. Use your chaff (harpies/dark riders/sahdes) to block off the overrun b...

Re: Dreadlord Cold one bus numbers...
Has anyone tried running a sorceress in a CoK bus? Too dangerous - a single miscast can wreck the bus. Unless running a L4 life, I would not bother. The Cold one bus is the only time I can see a use for l1/l2 life too - the 5+ regen helps a load The thing to bear in mind is that Cold One Knights ar...

Re: Dreadlord Cold one bus numbers...
I've come top 10 in 4 60+ tournaments running a cold one bus - I feel it's one of our strongest builds. Normally run a deadlord with giant blade, dawnstone and other tricksters along with a Bsb. Need 12 knights in this case to account for casualties. Most fun bus I've played was at Pompey Pillage th...

Re: Midlands GT 2014 Craig Johnson's Tactics HELP
Craig used this list as it was the closest he could get within the comp to his ETC list he was practising with.

Re: 2500 -- I hate Swedish Comp ...
@Dyvim I'm aware of the banner of swiftness, shock horror but it doesn't change the fact that if you play well with an avoidance list even m5 infantry isn't going to do very much. Avoidance lists are played all the world over, but in the UK scene at the moment they make up 7-8 of the top 10-12 place...

Re: 2500 -- I hate Swedish Comp ...
I disagree almost entirely. I love Swedish (and comp in general). It makes me write different lists. Swedish is an entirely different meta. You can't (usually) just take your standard list and apply scores to it. You build a list to the comp. Eg I took a 'hard' 8 to my last Swedish tournament (4 bol...

Re: Looking for a good punch.
Problem with that is once Throne is up you're going to eat 6D Dwellers. For a MSU list, that's fine but still 50% chance of a L4 going down a hole

Re: Looking for a good punch.
The crossbowmen are simply a screen for the witches. They will be deployed 1 inch in front of the witch horde shooting as we go and at the end charging to their death followed up with the witch charge. I've never had any luck with the warlocks, they get torn up every time I've used them. No idea wh...

Re: Dealing with Skink Horde
You declare a charge on unit A
He flees
You redirect to unit B
He flees through unit A
You fail charge as you cannot contact B as A is in the way, and you cannot contact A as you are no longer charging them
