What i've been doing with success in our campaign here is to start shooty and end strong in close combat. I've given a repeater crossbow to my highborn, sorceress, beastmaster and a corsair. rxbs are very expensive, but i've found that even a tooled up highborn won't stand long against numbers of ch...

i was wondering about this...can you put a chariot inside a unit?

Sehenesmet, Vizier of Quatar. In the book, it says that this king is able to control scores of giant statues and that he even interred himself inside a statue. He's the one who enchanted the guardians of the valley of kings. So yeah, it fits the fluff. Will it be good on the field...i don't think so...

DE have always sided with chaos (willingly or not) during large invasions; being loyal to malekith or not won't change anything. The poll options doesn't seem to answer to the same question

thanks alot

i got the book in front of me...the only thing i can find regarding the charge reaction in the psychology section is concerning frenzied troops. Unless it was in a Q&A. P.S. i should have posted that to the appropriate forum, Drakken, no need to get on your high hooves about it. Or did you jump on t...

Fluff wise i'd say anything with chaos in it.

Rule wise the skaven list is certainly one of their greater flower.

Just wondered here. Can units that are immune to psychology flee as a charge reaction? I know that frenzied units cannot, nor can undeads. What about demons or Slaanesh marked units? I could not find info anywhere in the book stating they could not. Am i wrong? This question came to my mind when loo...

Our best skink hunting unit is shades hands down. On the other hand, our rxb "should" deal dmg if they hit something. Skinks ain't that cheap either. The best advice so far i've seen is to use Chillwind on them. Do not charge poisoned missle units with monsters or anything with no save unless you're...

Hmm, makes me wonder if we are even talking about the same unit here. So fighting RXB warriors is a "trick" we use because they are worthless as a shooting unit? If you really can't see the effectiveness of RXB armed warrior then I suppose its your problem. [...]And on top of this they can even sta...

Not to be rude or anything, but why don't you play chaos then? I can give you my own motivation: because chaos doesn't affects humans the same way as it affect elves. Elves can still retain their will. I presume you mean by finesse someting like grace. Well, you can only achive that when you are no...

Basically the rxb is designed to shoot at numerous, low T bad save opponents: exactly what we kill easily in close combat. Also, low T bad save means low point cost, so your 3 kills a turn won't pay for the points you paid. The 24" range doesn't help at all, because on the move, you'll hit on 6+... ...

what if the temple of khaine happened to be an extension of slaanesh's control? the witches are certainly pushing the limits where excess of violence and bloodshed is concerned. No one doubts that morathi is sided to slaanesh, but how can she be the favored of khaine then? What if all that khaine wo...

I've always disliked the way our rxbows worked. The problem is that focusing on a weapon (bow or rxbow) won't solve the elven problem. I think that it is simply a result of over inflated price for our statistic lines...or that the statistics themselves who are flawed. rxbowmen never do their points ...

I am still (maybe one of the few) unconvinced player about msu. My two main opponents are empire and beastmen. Putting a 10 man unit against the empire is pointless. He has so much more units than you that you'll still be at 2 vs 3 at best. His shooting will shred your units apart and i know what i ...

Now, engineers and weapons teams have means to avoid unwanted ranged attention - jezzails do not. Skirmish and a 4+ save should be no barrier to concentrated low S RXB fire, or even the odd volley from RBTs. Certainly they are a better return than firing upon clanrats or slaves. I don't think he'll...

Lucas Buck...your sorceress won't be able to cast anything if you give her blood armor I tend to go magicless by now. Complete waste of points to me. You can't fight the tomb kings magic with a lvl 2 sorceress, nor can you stop the barrage against skaven's cheddar & brie. I am in the school of all o...

I was about to ask for tactics against the empire, cause it is the army witch gives me the most trouble. If you think that the empire needs a revision because your general cannot hit on 3+ or have 10 ld, then your problem could be that you're playing the wrong army. Even chaos lords or Slanns do not...

Heh, the sorceress in my army is a former high elf.

I think that every elf can become "dark" and twisted through the ages. Corruption of the body, mind and soul is possible (Morathi being the best example).

to me magic is all or nothing. I've been doing quite a few armies with 0 magical protection. It works, the amount of points we pay for that supposed "basic" magic defence actually cost us way too much compared to other races. That's because we're paying for an offensive bonus (+1 to cast) that is ab...

It's probably the kind of general you'd see in a 4000pts game and higher imho. Definitely not in a 2000pts game.

going w/o magic against khemri is suicidal if you don't have shades/assassin/flying character (don't count on harpies to charge a fear causing unit). You need to dispatch the hierophant by turn 2-3 or your army will suffer alot. Keep in mind that they usually shoot 4-5 incantations each magic phase,...

I never use magical weapons. I find them to be a waste of points most of the time. Since i start with the principle that druchii characters are not what make us win (am i flawed ?), i usually take very few magic items (usually they are banners) Now, those i play with rather regularily: Blood armor: ...

yet our spells appear to have been toned up in terms of difficulty just to be sure that we don't get anything easy...just look at the shadow lore difficulties (and the spells are really helpful too) personally i don't like our line of spells, because they are random and often we don't get the good o...

The day you're defending a siege (in a large battle)...field Black Guards with the Cauldron...have fun. It's really weird i have had so little success with the rxbow that i don't even use it anymore. on the first turn they need to move to shoot= 6s to hit so it's a forget it. On turn two they need 5...
