Re: Warscroll Synergies

I think we are lucky that our units work well without the need for synergies in terms of buffs, where as some lists such as empire and lizardmen really rely on them. This is of course a curse and a blessing as whilst our units don't need others to perform well they also don't ever get better than th...

Re: HobbyKiller Blog - Playing with yourself

I think you are right - make take a fair amount of effort but would be an interesting project - for me when I game against myself I play as hard as I can from both sides - maybe it takes a certain kind of mentality to do this and enjoy it - don't think it's something that everyone would enjoy but I ...

Re: Best Dark Elves Units in AoS

I have found that 15's are the optimal size for executioners as it is relatively easy to get them all in a position to strike in combat and on average they generate 10 mortal wounds from a unit that size which puts a significant hole in most things

Re: Observations: Charging v. Piling In

Sliding - which in my opinion is not supported by the rules as you end no closer to the nearest model which you are already in contact with (either base to base or model to model depending on how you have decide to play) has a massive impact on the game if allowed. Basically if it is not allowed the...

Re: HobbyKiller Blog - Thoughts on Comp - Part 1

Thanks for the feedback and all good points - what I am aiming for is as simple as possible - this will of course throw some aberrations out - as every comp system does - but I want to try and deal with them on a global basis as much as possible. Plan would be to review every 3 months and adjust on ...

Re: Charge tactics in AoS

Multiple charges and even charging one unit into multiple enemy units is a major component of AOS. As is the order that you choose to fight during the combat phase - ideally you have only one combat at a time ensuring that you optimise your results - if not then having an odd number of combats is mu...
