I have been playing Lizards for about 2 years now and while there is quite a lot that you have said that I agree with, there is also a lot I completely disagree with. Jungle Swarms have to be one of my favourite units in the list. You never need more than 3 but they are swarms which can actually do ...

I am with Kel on the thing of putting the GUO in a unit of Plague Bearers. He is no faster then them so he may as well join them. 12-16 Plague Bearers + Him + Champ and Banner with that 4+ ward banner makes for a very tough unit indeed. The sort of unit that will never loose combat, or die and has ...

In my experience so far, it's been great using a monster of an anvil unit of 16 PB w/Unholy Icon, damn those things are resiliant! It's a matter of preference I suppose. Yeah, It's just finding the points which is difficult. Even if I drop the 4th Plaguerider I still don't have enough for an extra ...

Yeah that site gave me a lot of insight into the Nurgle list. I've thought about the 16 Plaguebearers and reducing the Plagueriders and in fact I may have to buy the extra models and simply playtest it. I think it will simply come down to experience for me. As for the GUO I think he would be best of...

2000pts - Legions of the maggot

Having been out of the hobby for a few months now and currently not having much time to play with, I felt it was time to start a new army that had to be failry small but still a change from what I've already got. After careful consideration it just had to be a Nurgle Daemonic Legion. Small in number...

Well the Dark Elves broke away from the High Elves 5000 years ago. With some baby booms it would b quite possible for the Dark Elf population to draw close to that of the High Elves. Look at how China's population exploded last century. PersonallyI don't think the High Elves are as dying as they mak...

I generally agree with the changes Kel proposed.

Sigil Of Asuryan

It says it automatically dispels one enemy spell and says nothing about it doing this in the same way as a dispel scroll.

I assume it therefore can be used against irresistably cast spells?

The Dale v. Lane batrep was the last one where they payed people to do batreps. Thats why theres no tournament players doing it anymore. The other problem is they then insist on using the studio armies, and they are made to have everything in them, not anything decent in sensible amounts. I don't k...

Sorry to dig this up somewhat but I just read the report today and I agree with Lethalis, the batreps nowadays just involve complete amateurs.

I think the Dogs Of War list would be best for this. Obviously you will never be able to do a completely traditional Greek army with the list but you may be able to do a Macedonian themed one (on the phalanx front that is) with Greek monsters. Have one of your characters mounted on a Pegasus Pikemen...

Ring Of Hotek.


Get a Noble or Beastmaster on Pegasus with the Ring and land him within 6" of the Shaman inside the unit but not within the unit's charge arc. When the Shaman tries to cast hopefully he will miscast and with the Orc miscast table he is in serious trouble.

No

If you have an operation and get given a local anasthetic you won't feel the knife cut into you, however you are still just as easy to cut with a knife.

Toughness represents how difficult a creature is to damage and whether they can feel pain or not is irrelevant to this.

I think you may be able to get away with 5 Mounted Daemonettes in each unit.

However I am aware that if you have 4 Pleasures...
