Re: Dark Elves Book cover

The Helmet he wears is very similar, but I think he is just one bad ass Dreadlord on foot. I'd love to try and convert a model to look like him, but sadly my conversion skills leave a lot to be desired.

Re: Haven't played since the new book - WE or Corsairs

They also incorrectly interpreted who was a valid recipient for the cauldron's buffs, as they measured to see how many models, but as I understand it, it affects all models in any unit that is within 6", so all of the corsairs should have been affected while the unit was within 6", not jus...

Re: Haven't played since the new book - WE or Corsairs

So I watched that video, and when he killed the Hag, he stated the Cauldron had to leave the unit. I see no such requirement on the cauldron. Can someone explain it to me?

Tips for Protecting Morathi and/or Level 4 on a Dark Pegasus

Anyone have any standardized tips for protecting Morathi or a Sorceress on a dark pegasus? I am thinking primarily protecting them from shooting (cannons or normal ballistic). As they are monstrous cav, I don't see them getting look out sir rolls, and a cannonball to the face, or hell cannon shot, o...

Shadestar Scouting?

Can a shadestar unit with multiple characters joined to it still scout? According to the BRB rules for characters joining units it cannot, but some reason I was under the impression the shadestar still could. Am i mistaken?

Thanks.

Re: Trying to avoid the Witch Elf Crutch

He never died. He was in combats with many different things and never took a single wound (as he would hide in a challenge and kill his opponent) No, I didn't have the good fortune of facing death magic. I am quite surprised he survived in challenges. Did he face anything like a demon prince/vampir...

Re: What can an elf do against 6 Chaos Chariots?

So the chariots charge you on turn 2? Why did you let them? As far as I see it turn 1 they are at best 16" away and could charge you if you deployed far forward but why would you? Chaos has barely any shooting. Deploy deep and give yourself an extra turn. Barring freaky dice rolls you should b...

Re: Trying to avoid the Witch Elf Crutch

Not to necro this thread but I am curious how Tullaris performed as your general? He seems very vulnerable for a general being on foot with only a 5+ armor to protect him. Did you ever face any death magic?

Re: 2500 dark elves (help)

You have a lot of magic levels in this list. I think the generally recommended total magic levels for a game under 3k is 6, and you have 8. I will often play with 8, but its usually a level 4 and 2 blocks of 5 warlocks. I can safely ignore using the magic of one of those blocks of warlocks because t...

He's not supposed to kill you in combat (and yes, taking 9s6 attacks would be painful for the dp). He's supposed to hold you up long enough to surround you. Hellstriders are actually a good match for warlocks and would make for heavy losses on both sides. As for dark riders, he had more chariots th...

Congratulations on the win! Now to make things tricky since he didn't take the best list he could: What would you do if he brought a Slaanesh DP (better than Nurgle in my opinion) and rammed him into your warlocks?

Re: Old rules redux: War hydras Pt 1, The Veteran

For Escort:

Why not just allow the hydra to declare an out of sequence charge against the enemy unit that charged the "escorted unit" after all enemy charges have been resolved? Basically simulating the hydra running to the defense of the unit it is protecting?

I think it's pretty clear in that document that it is for events at Warhammer World. They say it several times. I'd imagine the vast majority of events happen outside Warhammer World and as such do not apply the code.
