The steeds fly move effectively happens in the remaining moves phase. So no charges.

With the Dark Elves having a bit of a vulnerability to warmachines, my plan is to drop a master on chariot into position to threaten my opponents warmachines.

After the template has scattered, only then do you resolve the spell. (Page 9)

The powered up version is just highly risky. I prefer pendulum to pit because at least then you can target a particular model.

The Other Trickster's Shard forces the re-roll of successfull ward saves

A Cauldron of Blood is a Death hag mount. So probably a viable target.

What would you target with Steed then?

Recently I read something that made me read Lore Of Shadow more closely. Something I noticed were the targeting rules for Steed of Shadows. "..or a Friendly character within 12" No mention is made of needing to be on foot etc. SO that got me thinking about what would I have fly around. The...

Armour piercing provides a -1 to the targets armour save. There is nothing to suggest that it stacks, so giving a unit armour piercing 10 different ways still just means that the unit's target sufferes a -1 to its armour save. if it (at the beginning of the special rules) says that rules stack unle...

Anything with WS6 or less needs 6s to hit.

Well shadow can lower either. In fact shadow can lower every stat except leadership. (If you accept Pendulum rather directly lowers wounds )

In my opinion the magic changes have meant that the lore is very much an integral part of the army rather than something that is tacked on afterwards. Which, to me, is a good thing. Lore choice is something that I feel is dependent on what level the caster is. To me lore of fire is a bit pointless o...

The entire text of Eternal Hatred, as redefined by our FAQ: Eternal Hatred: All models with this rule Hate all opposing models (Hatred is explained in the Warhammer rulebook). In addition, such is their detestation of their cousins from Ulthuan that when fighting against a High Elves army, models w...

JSfelber your hammer doesn't work. With greatweapons our Execs stirke last. My Math is sound. It says Warriors with GWs as no one will run them without GWs. Hammermers have GWs also. Execs will strike First because of their higher init. Your maths is still off. ASL against ASL means simultaneous.

I've heard repeatedly that faqs go live on day of release. (From several store managers)

Though there has been disagreement on which day is release day. 8th when pre-orders arrive or 10th when the stores start selling.

... I view the Darkelves as a similar army to 7th. You have to hit in conjunction with other units (infantry and chariots/monsters, Cavalry and Charriots/monsters etc). You have to focus fire your shooting (which has gotten better) and magic to take out targets which can possibly disrupt your plans...

According to the BBRB the cauldron is indeed a "Unique" unit type.

It's rules probably will appear in the errata since they state that you randomize like warmachines, which no longer happens.

I haven't seen anyone even mention the possibility of the RoH being changed. With miscasts being removed, (new wording does NOT call them miscasts) the new devastating "loss of control" table, and magic being a much more of a risk reward system, I highly doubt the 25 point magic-ender is ...

On the other hand, taking 3 level 2 on a single Lore grants you 100% to get once THE spell you wish absolutely to get. If you're interested. With the change to rolling for spells (you now get to pick the second spell when you roll a double) The chances of getting a specific spell are as follows. Sp...

Only one dispel scroll per army, but there are other scrolls now, for example one wounds the wizard that cast a spell on 5+ for every power dice used (deadly for those level 4s casting on 6+ dice), or one that turns a wizard into a toad. Are you serious? Into a toad? I hope that's a permanent effec...

Kyrel this wall of text isn't something directly solely at you, but rather a response to the fact that alot of people see what they've lost in the new edition but not all that they've gained. The only real difference is that one point, and where the fight takes place. Which can make the difference b...

Potion of recklessness- [5 pts] Only one use, Immute to Psychology and killing blow. I read this item differently. It gives your two Special Rules for 1 turn: Immune to Psychology and Killing Blow. It does indeed leave some room for interpretation, though considering it is called reckless it might ...

I noticed this in the magic items list Energiespruchrolle () 35 pts Only one use, every doubles will cause total energy and loss of control From m If that is 35 points, and causes an automatic loss of control and successful cast, then RoH is either going to get seriously nerfed or cost a lot ore th...

I just realised something absalutely beautiful. Lore of shadows has a spell that makes S = LD. Know what that means? S10 ASSASSIN! I doubt it would be worth it, but damn he will kill anything you want. Well maybe not star dragons and stanks without a few bolts first. He'll still die, but it will be...

Sorceress chosen lore will most likely *not* be Dark Magic as I have a feeling it will be rather inferior to the new rulebook lores. Fire will be simple and straigthforward and Metal will be very situational (pretty useless against most elves, daemons, or ogres). I'm curious about Shadow and Death....

There are exactly 3 points spare if I need a musician, but I was told that the musician only allows to move after reform (or before reform) but still won't be able to shoot (unless fast cav/skirmishers) Warhammer won't turn into a gunline game. It will be a LOT harder to march block the enemy so ex...

Find the points for a musician on the xbows.

muscian grants "swift reform" which means they can shoot after a reform if they pass a leadership test. Alot easier than having to wheel left or right now that turn to face has gone.

Would be interested in what you think what should've been brought into balance but got nastier instead. Magic is the first to spring to mind. I can only suggest you play with the rules first. On reading magic is brutal, and it is but it's a high reward for a high risk. Sure your wizard can buff a u...
