Wouldn't a beastlord on a chariot be instant killed by a ninja star assassin?

Only if he was on a T5 razorgor chariot, not if he is on a T4 "normal" chariot.

Sadly not true, the Shade Deathstar is nigh on unbeatable.

Not really. Sure it's tough, but it can certainly be beaten. Don't think it's ever won a big tourney either (although I could be wrong here).

it wasn´t said that the game was moving from 2000 armies to 3000? if that is so, then the % isn´t that bad... I've not heard that at all, and I doubt it to be true. Would be interesting though. With a 750pt character cap and 3000pts to spend, most armies would fill up their special and rare slots p...

I think the 25% will hurt armies that rely on their heroes and lords a lot more I agree. But it won't affect deamons at all. They'll just not take a greater daemon and/or take more Horrors. So they'll still have more magic than everyone else. I think the 2 armies this would affect the least are dea...

I agree with Laina. It affects the unit. if you leave the unit you lose the benefit. I half remember an faq for a similar situation (ogre magic buffs I think) saying that if a character leaves the buffed unit then you get the choice of who keeps the buff: either the character loses it and the unit k...

Red, in my experience chariot heavy armies can do pretty well. And the CO chariot is certainly worth it's 100pts. Sure a rending star assassin or dwarf bolt thrower will take out chariots with ease but these 2 things are generally a chariot commander's real worry. Yes other armies have plenty of acc...

14 Bowmen banner 122 14 Bowmen banner 122 Both too large and too small at the same time. If you just want a small cheap shooter go for 10 strong. If you want a unit that can fight a bit too they need to be 20ish. Id go for 1 naked unit of 10 and 1 unit of 20 with banner and champ (champs are good i...

Based on the Tomb King's FAQ (where it states that a model's null talisman works against the casket because it affects the model, even though its not a specifically targeted spell) That FAQ is a 6th ed one and is out of date. If you look at the 7th ed FAQs you'll see that MR (and the RoH) can't be ...

Sacrifical dagger+3 scrolls. I second this. Combined with Power of Darkness you get as much offence as most normal armies with a Lv4 and 2 Lv2s, and more than enough defense. 6 dice to start but will easily go up to 10 or even 11 - more if PoD isn't dispelled. And it only costs about 300pts. Bargain

no matter the role, corsairs are never the best choice in a DE army. That is an opinion. Not a fact. Yes. But the stats are facts. RHB corsairs are a very fun unit (and I wrote the D.R.A.I.C.H. article about them to share my experience). I agree. I think they are probably the most fun and most tact...

The beauty of statistical figures is that you can always select one or another to fit your (always biased) opinion! Very true. But these statistics (from both sides of the argument), can also be very useful, and it is usually only by "attempting to manipulate" the statistics, that people ...

However, you provide (or QFT) some figures that look like facts. When doing so, please provide accurate facts, not forged facts. My 3 times figure (I assume this is the only one you are contesting) is accurate. You just took it in the wrong context. I was thinking of the following situation: You ha...

Reading that FAQ made my brain hurt - Skaven units are way too complicated and I struggle to see how playing that army could be any fun (for either side) when there are so charts and situation dependent rules to remember. 'Keep it simple' should be rule number 1 for the Army book writers. This is p...

It would certainly be fun but I fear it lacks the potency needed for the UKGT. I seem to remember it is pretty easy to build a 2k list with 3 rending star assassins, 2 hydrae and a high sorc with the dagger and 3 scrolls (all the magic offense/defense you will ever need) with points left over for an...

8 pages worth. But it answers pretty much every question and most of it makes sense too.

A corsair with still a 5+ save against it has a double (!) chance to survive to a warrior with shield with only 6+. Yes, but you still only lose 17% less models than a spear unit does. And since the corsair costs almost 50% more than a spearman this is really not worth it. And the other point still...

well, the main thing that I was screwed on in my opinion was the US of the wheel. I thought it was classified as a warmachine and as such the US is that of the 2 crew. It profiles as a chariot and is also on a chariot base so that was the other way I thought it would be classified, so thus being US...

They cost as much as witches and packs even punches with the SSS. Both these statements are untrue: 1) The corsairs cost more than the witches because you have to pay for the SSS and the witches don't have to. This also leaves a banner slot free on the witches for the BoM or something, giving witch...

Remember that the SDC make them much more resilient to shooting, which is such a great advantage as spearelves take much more casualties to shooting and lose a lot of effectiveness that way. This I believe is a total fallacy. Just because they have a pip of save vs shooting doesn't automatically ma...

The way I see it: 3 points more than warriors with shield. 1pt for slavers rule 0pts for SDC due to loss of shield 0pts for xhw due to loss of spear which is just as good, although has slightly different use. 1pt because spear elves are 1pt to cheap in the first place. rhb should be free upgrade or ...

Against havy magic/shooting i would lace 25 Zombies in line, than 15 zombies in line than wraiths, spirit host, wraiths, than line of skeletons with all vampires, flanked by one block, and and than last blocks of zombies, spirit host. Wolfs would be scattered. That seems like a good idea on paper, ...

It looks like a poor man's version of the old strigoi flying circus list. It'll work, but I think the old version was better, almost purely because of the fact you can't have hatred, and the vamps aren't as hard as the strigoi used to be. you do have a few other advantages though ie the ghosts and m...

LoS is not difficult if there is a hill on the board and Dark Riders don't make great bodyguards with just a 5+ armour save. Looks like we've found a reason to take DRs with shields then doesn't it? I like the list a lot. I definitely think the DS is better than the chariot as a bsb mount. It allow...

but everyone on here seems to talk about it as though that rule doesn't exist. Am I confused? This rule *is* in the rulebook, kinda. It says that, many players do it this way and that this is often the sporting way to do things. However, it also says that it is not "correct" to do it this...

If he leaves the source of Frenzy, the banner, then Frenzy is lost. But you can only lose frenzy if you lose a combat. Other special rules I agree. But because of the above I think frenzy is different. A friend also wanted to use this trick with the Lizardmen "Skavenpelt Banner", whereby ...
