Re: Portrayal of women in fantasy
I now watched the video - great points, going to check out some of his books and give one a spin.

Re: Portrayal of women in fantasy
Will look forward to viewing the video later - interesting discussion. To your initial post, I thought Lhunara in Malus was a well handled character. The female shade character too, even. As you say, all in all, Dark Elves are one of the better races in terms of male/female balance - though it clear...

Re: How to become a Demonslayer?
From your note, it sounds like a pure Dark Elf set up. Just in case you mean it more generally, accessing the Alarielle rules from the ET Khaine book, as part of a ET list, might be of value. If using pure Dark Elves, and want to introduce some randomness of your own into proceedings, you might look...

Re: Daeron's Blues
Love the consistent tone set - so punchy that blue against the dark shades and nicely understated bases. So cool seeing production on this scale.

Re: Allowing opponent to bring 6th ed Chaos list vs 8th ed D
Thanks for the warning! Well - we've agreed for 3,000 points. I'll be using the ET Tyrion list, he'll be using 6th Ed Legion of Chaos. We'll use 8th Ed rules, converting/agreeing "obvious" special rule parallels once he submits a list on the day. It'll certainly be the end of March before ...

@flatworldsedge: What a shame! Maybe you can try to act as a reserve, though. If someone ends up without a partner he can contact you as a last resort.

Thanks Marchosias for the detailed thoughts - and you're pretty much bang on why I've never considered this before!

Re: New GW flagship store with exclusive products
It's very strange to my mind - they were very certain that these would be "in store only exclusive items". That would be kind of cool, but, of course, if it's worth travelling into London for at a cost of £10 travel minimum, easily £25-50 for most of South East England, well it's probably ...

Dropped into the GW Oxford Street (London) yesterday and they said they were closing, moving to T*ttenham Court Road to a premises twice the size where they would have more gaming tables and - interestingly - exclusive products not available online or in other stores.

Hey all - hope you're having an awesome end to the week! So my regular opponent, after a couple of sound beatings using just Beastmen has said he'd like to bring a full Warrior/Daemon/Beast list for our next battle. He has the old "Hordes of Chaos" plus "Beasts of Chaos" army boo...

I guess so, but in many cases that'd mean diverting them from higher value targets like high armour cavalry or monsters that the witches and spears might struggle with. Maybe the black guard work against those, I but the cavalry might not choose that battle with you! Play test a bit and see what sui...
