Re: on request, pics of new release

I love the cauldron, and considering I never actually got the old one because I just really didn't like it, the fact that this new one is so snazzy is great news for me. I don't agree with people saying that the new spearmen are too static. I think it is really nice to have a cohesive, disciplined l...

Our local store is not an official Games Workshop and a couple of my friends bought the starter kit and then traded in the miniatures for a bit of store credit as they had decided on Ogres and Vampire Counts. If you have a local store that would do that maybe you could get the kit and then put the m...

Freehanding with pens?

Hello, I have heard that you are able to use certain pens to do freehand on your model's shields and such like but I don't really know any further than that. I would like to be able to draw on my shields and banners with some kind of pen, so I am quite interested in how this would be achieved. What ...

I've been using regular builder's sand my girlfriend got from her dad and its excellent because its really uneven and has little stones in it and stuff.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up. Seems strange that your opponent can reduce the effectiveness in their turn, but I guess it doesn't make a humongous difference.

Thanks for the info

Something in the errata about manbane/rending stars

Hi all, just a quick question. I was reading the errata for the Dark Elf army book on the GW web site and the bit on manbane and rending stars made no sense to me. Q. In combining manbane and rending stars which ability happens first, the +1 strength from the stars or the raising of the basic streng...

I've been putting together your list thanee as close as I can but I realised I overestimated how many warriors I had! I only have 47 not 60! Do you think the list will suffer much with some warriors trimmed off? As in will the slightly smaller units still be able to do their jobs? Another thing is I...

Awesome advice so far everyone, thanks very much It never occurred to me to use the flaming banner against the hellpit, how stupid of me!

Ring of Hotek on that guy is an awesome idea! Not to derail the topic but does it mean irresistible force as well or is it just a miscast and I can still attempt to dispel and such?

I'm not sure about the stand and shoot thing, so I let it pass. As for the challenge, the Hellpit doesn't attack normally, but instead rolls for different effects, and he rolled something that hurts 'every model in base contacts' so I'm not sure how that should have worked out. Thank you for the enc...

Skaven. I cannot beat them

First off my apologies, as I know there are other Skaven related topics here but I was hoping to ask about my specific problems as I do not have all the units at my disposal. I have beaten my regular Skaven opponent a grand total of once, and that was when he had Deathmaster Snitch (or whatever his ...

Ok, even though my shades haven't come yet a friend came round yesterday and let me proxy them to get some practice in. I have to say they were very effective at picking off his dwarves because his big slow units would have had to have been very lucky to have got a charge off on them. I'd even say t...

Kairon watched. Before the source of the gunshot was even evident the rest of the druchii had made their moves. The two Khainites had darted off through the wood, bellowing curses at each other, and the shade had seen to her fallen comrade and melded into the undergrowth. Kairon had witnessed the wa...

One thing I would recommend is another 5 CoK, a unit of 5 won't survive long, and if they do get to charge something chances are they're going to be severely weakened even by just 1 or 2 casualties.

His opponent glanced briefly in the direction of the shot druchii. Where had the hound come from? And the gun shot? No druchii would wield such a clumsy weapon, something was afoot. He knew that in battle to hesitate was to die, but the shade seemed distracted, he allowed himself a moment's pause. H...
