Yes the noble worked great! Although he actually only started doing damage at the end (he shot a wound off a mage, and helped destriying a chariot), he was very useful all in all. I refused my left flank, and my opponent his right, so one flank was wide open. All he had was a unit of ellerian reaver...

While I was surfing around on the GW web, I saw the rules for our deceased Black guard captain, Kouran. His 6th ed rules were obviously written before the revision, since Kouran has the same rule (eternal hatred) as BG now have, but it has different name, implacable hatred. I find it curious that th...

Well, I promised I would tell how my army managed in battle. I don't play that often, so after only today i had my first battle with this army. I played a magic heavy HE army (7-10 pd). He had a big unit of SH with full upgrades, a small one without upgrades, 2 units of ellerian reavers, 16 spearmen...

One word: Terror. Skaven LD already is bad, and eshin LD is even worse because they don't have ranks in most units (and none if he's using night fighting rules). Get a BM on manticore, hydra, and/or a noble on dark pegasus with Death mask and watch his army flee in a matter of seconds. I doubt shoot...

This an old army of mine. No need to futher discuss it. Look for my "pretty model army" thread if you want to see the new army.

Bummer. Well actually it's not my fault, but army builder's. Another proof that you shouldn't trust technology over regular fresh thinking

1 crewmember is replaced by the noble, so if there is only one crewmember, I have have to pay only one point for the spears.

Prince: I don't think it would be a good idea to give the BG a standard. They have a good chance of being wiped out since I intend to pit them against the meanest and leanest unit my enemy has to offer. If I lose the unit it will cost me another 100pts. After the BG survive the first round of CC, th...

I now gave a DR unit rxbows at the cost of blood armour and a corsairs champion. I also put my noble in the chariot again since I don't trust him with a 4+ save all through the game. I'll have to see if the executioners manage on their own. They do have SSS, so they probably won't get charged themse...

No, I'll deploy them in 6-6-4. That's what I meant.

I updated some things on my original list go have a look. Thanks for the answers. My noble goes with the exes in 6x3 formation because I dont trust them going on their own into second rounds of combat. The Chariots will still near him for the LD. I really would really like to have another DR unit, b...

no comment?

Here is my updated list. I thought it would be more neccasary to have another war machine/mage hunter than to have another shooting unit so dropped a XBOW unit in favor of a Dark Pegasus. I don't really worry to much about the magic phase. I find that 4 DP is quite sufficient. As for casting, well 5...

I have added a harpy now at the cost of the standard of slaughter which I traded for a war banner. I think I might add a Noble on pegasus at the cost of a RXB unit. I think it will be a good addition giving my support units (DR, harpies) a better chance at acheiving their missions thanks to having a...

In that it isn't CoS Sorry for the confusion, maybe I should have used another title.

I don't want any more sorcs. I have always gone with 2 sorcs, but I realized I can still do some magic with 5 power dice and 4 dispel dice and a scroll.

Like I said before, I like 2 reapers better ass well, but in a MSU army the line of sight of one or the other bolt thrower tends to be block at some point during the battle because of all those small units. Thus one of the reapers has become useless. With one RBT you can avoid this. You can still ha...

i cant really say that this army will do you well at a tournament level. even though you have littarally gone MSU. all unit lack any form of a punch. now remeber that your beastmaster an manticore is easili dealth with by al armies. usually your beasmaster will be shot before the end of turn 2 Not ...

I have formed a intrest for MSU. I already tried it once, but ended up in failure due extreme bad luck. I did make a new list though... 1 Beastmaster @ 259 Pts Lance Armour of Darkness [25] 1 Manticore @ [190] Pts 1 Sorceress @ 175 Pts Magic Level 2 Lifetaker [30] Tome of Furion [15] 1 Sorceress @ 1...

They need points reduction and the 4+ save

I think the free reform would be better suited to corsairs first of all, and secondly make a better banner than anything else. Why should corsairs have the free reform? They have had different training. Corsairs are like the marines, spearmen/CG the army. The superior training rule is much like 'co...
