Re: OOOOHHHH, YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just to prove how totally not-over-ET-betrayal-yet-or-likely-ever, I thought I'd chime in. Was enjoying it (bar the issues raised by Shadowspite re shades) until the tagline at the end. "Defend your world. Destroy theirs." Can't read that without screaming at GW over and over and over, unt...

Re: Project: the future pan-elven website

Hey all - hope you're all well and having a bright enough week! I thought I'd quickly say "hi" and note the unique nature of interaction on D.net. My short story echoed TD's above. AOS was big for me. I kind of worked through the whole DABDA framework where the final A was just a much pure...

Re: Describe Warhammer Fantasy Battle in 10 Models

Awesome thread in present circumstances - here's mine. Apologies for the mad variation in image size! 1) The original mounted Jade Wizard.

Re: Un-Welcome to the Age of Sigmar

@Barking Agatha - thanks for the response! Just a couple of follow ups where I might not have expressed myself personally; RE#1 - The min-maxing point is fair, though I did enough that aspect too. It would often be fixed within local meta and if one is a fluff player, it tends to be less of an issue...

Re: Un-Welcome to the Age of Sigmar

It's probably all been said in other threads, but for the sake of personal closure I wanted to make a public statement somewhere. I've tried AOS just for the sake of openmindedness and that'll be my first and last game of it. It is a sham at best. Seeing the issues with rules and balance have alread...

Re: Shades - sizes and loadout?

At the start of the year I was using them with light armour, but now take AHW. I viewed them as missile only, but they end up in combat most of the time. I'm playing non-ASF opponents and the extra attack on that basis is great vs. non elite opponents. I go with 2x 6 as they're a big piece of my flu...

If they're looking to reduce total number of armies, than a few options within Elves is easier to maintain than all three distinct armies. I'm guessing that something broa...

A quick reply here, which I'll come back to edit as more things strike me! Awesome project! Generally the notes about flying above make sense. The biggest piece of flying that seems wrong is the idea that they have to land at the end of movement - it just feels silly, and an obvious shortcut so the ...

At the risk of taking this off title topic, and borderline threadomancy, the experiment noted above has paid off - his book's are excellent, and a strong cast of better rounded than usual female characters is very much present by the end of "The Name of the Wind". I'm onto the second in th...
