I like the new ETC draft... it allows us to use some of the powerful choices we like, but not all of them. For core I think that 2 units of DR is enough and the rest can easily be filled with MSU WE units. 10-14 of them with musician is manouverable enough to get around where you want, they are fren...

We are told that there will be a single leader surving. Is the title of the book "End Time: Malekith"?

Of course Malekith wins, who else?!!!

Well, it would be about time that Malekith finally got the throne, and the betrayals of the High Elves were revealed! ( )

I like that there are changes, although the rumors about the magic makes me frown... I don't want magic to be even stronger than it is today.

Most tournaments with such amount of points are at least 2,5 hours... 2 hours is fine for 2k and less points most of the time. The biggest problems I've had previously with the time frame was when I met shooty lists with a close combat army and my opponent spends all the time thinking and tweaking p...

Getting tired of all the invasions of Ulthuan, and especially the failures. I hope GW comes up with something new this time.

To me the scourgerunner are more easy points than a RBT as it has twice the cost, less distance and can't do multishots. Also, because of that range, the RBT can deploy so far back that it will be hard for my enemies to shoot them down with simple weapons like bows and such, without coming in range ...

Yeah, I got the same situation as Killerk... you take the strongest lists you can come up with and have intense and tough games... it can be quite a lot of fun as it is a lot of challenge. Also, this means you get into tournaments with an edge.

The game is still fun, just in a different way.

It's also about being a threat against those solo characters. With one or two bolt throwers your opponent might hide his characters behind cover most of the game, which means you have the advantage in movement.

My RBTs loves firing at Daemonprinces.

I often go reactive as I tend to kill my enemies from distance and charge them if they get close. Arguably, that's still proactive. You are in control of the board - your adversary is forced to march towards you because of your superior missile/magic line, and then you can choose which of your coun...

@blackrobe: Why use GW miniatures when you can get better miniatures from other companies? If GW wants to keep customers, they just have to make the coolest miniatures in an acceptable pricerange. Luckily for GW, they have some of the coolest models so most of my armies are based on GW models. Howev...

I've not used him myself, but watched a friend test him for a future turnament. You can really benefit from using him in a cold one knights unit and the signature spell that gives you +1S. Having that spell together with some of the other dark lore spells (focused on close combat) and two units of W...

Whether the elves get united or not remains to be seen, although I have the feeling it will happen somehow. Fluffwise to make that happen, the elves have to be attacked on all fronts (from chaos most likely), and forced to join arms... To actually take that step to fight together, I believe that som...

Not to mention that the 12 banshees could leave the unit. Move 12 inches (yes march because your vampire is nearby) and then scream the Sorceress to death. The Scream attack is a special attack done in the shooting phase. It is not shooting so the march and no shooting rule does not apply. It's why...

Should take a few years to get miniatures...

Anyways, looking forward to getting them

That list just seems easily countered with Lvl. 4 death on peg.... isn't scream range 8? Yes, but in best cases you would just kill about one each turn, which means 6 dead over an entire game. And with MR3 on such as well as scroll, level 4's in the unit and such... it's not easy. And most VC with ...

Remember harpies footprint is less then 1" so if you in a single line formation you can charge and fit in the gapp bettween your witches and enemy chaff. A lof of the time you may be able to but you still have to finish your charge outside 1 inch of any units, you can only pass within 1 inch w...

The banshee cheese would be an army of only zombies that are meatshields and one or two smallish bunkers with banshees which has one or two master necromancers in it (death for Doom and Darkness and sniping), and Vampirism (for more zombies and to get back any wounds you would get). Also, a vampire ...

If you're dodging a unit all game... you will get shot and magicked apart... and your 12 mobile masters will be bleeding points fast. Well, no... because I would only avoid the executioners and run through the rest of the army. 12 fastcav masters could be in two fast cav units. Other than that I co...

Killerk wrote:as to fast cav charachters I must say exes. but you need magic to be effective and a carless opponent to get engaged.

If my fast cav characters ends up in a fight against a full Executioners block, I have done something terribly wrong.

And how about that character getting killed by a regular unit? Which regular unit is strong and quick enough to take out pegasus or fast cav characters? I have played against HE armies (and other armies with strong unit builds) with their famous white lion block (BotWD and sometimes a few character...

It is too soon to say how the meta will change and whom will benefit the most with these changes, but there are those that now can get out insane combos or killer characters on low points (I look at you VC and WoC). Also, some armies might be able to make insane deathstars (HE, Ogres) so that you ca...

I often go reactive as I tend to kill my enemies from distance and charge them if they get close.

The dwindling numbers of my enemies and superb flanking charges I will get if my enemies moves forth, is my indication whether I do good or bad.

They want to sell their Armageddon miniatures for Fantasy battles, that's just about it.

Herohammer just got real.

At roughly 100 points per model... bring it! An entire army consisting of... 30 models or less? My execs can handle that on their own. Your execs would be dead before they get to attack Well, not really. You will get about 4 heroes with mundane gear from the point cost of 30 executioners. The maste...

Top: 1. Warlocks 2. Reaper Bolt Throwers 3. Shades Warlocks for the obvious reasons. Reaper Bolt Throwers because they are good in the meta... great shooting which prevents a lot of the single character models move in to kill your army. Shades because they can move about so well and is still one of ...
