I'm not liking all this time stuff. GW should just run a campaign without writing the ending before people start playing it. It would be nice to see land owner ship changed over the campaigns, but not have this interfere with the army books - i.e. run it separately, with all the fluff kept within th...

but you have 10+ units to shield the units of 10. Then you have some ability to get more combat res, and all of a sudden those infantry blocks can be taken down.

Calisson wrote:You could take a few 10-harpies units, in order to achieve rear-charges and gain +2SCR and cancel bonus ranks, even if 1 or 2 are killed (contrary to 5 harpies from initial list).

Thats a good point. A few larger units could make all the difference!

Me and my dad made a mordheim city out of the stuff, and its great. The only thing i can say its experiment. The stuff is dirt cheap or even free* so just have a play and see what you think. It often helps to do a few sketches and work out dimensions before, but I've only made ruined buildings, so i...

it forced me to scroll, so i removed it... It would make sense to make it the same width as the forum, i.e. take a page with a 800*600 image in the thread and use that width. I guess it will be 1024, but i'm not sure. Once its sorted i'll happily unblock the ad. Nice to hear that the Druchii have so...

lol... its a funny list, and with funny lists you don't need to win. As for High Elves, would Harpies ever hit? i would say that HEs are one of the few armies that could get a massacre against this without pre-warning. The harpy queen would make this list awesome! I would love to see her in a new ar...

its funny you should mention WS distribution. Notice how almost everything is 3 or 4, and then almost nothing is 6-10. how about shifting this around so the game uses the full spectrum. Make trained infantry 5, trained archers and weak combat troops can have 3 or 4. the peasants can have 1 or 2 alon...

i like it. perhaps a bit of over kill though. The stubborn rule isn't really needed. if they have 3+ ranks then they already have +3 to the combat res, and if they got hit enough to lose lots of troops this prob moved them down to less than 3 ranks anyway. Like mentioned above, allow infantry unto +...

Tell that to the Macedonians at Arbela/Guagamela or the Spartans at Thermopylae. Having more foes would make it easier to hit something surely? In game turns you would end up with horde armies dominating all (30 goblins vs 10 corsairs = 90 points vs 100 points, WS4 vs WS4 and +4 SCR (3 ranks and ou...

nice ideas there - i especially like the miscast tables! As for WS, it would be nice to see a change, but i was thinking slightly differently to the wound table. Having models that can't hit others seems a little annoying. Maybe, in challenges or one on one combats use the wound table to hit, but ot...

@danceman: Yes your right if we just change the combat to Initiative order without bothering to balance anything anywhere then it would be Elf hammer. However, I'm pretty sure that GW would want to balance things out, even if they don't do it as well as they should. As for shooting, its just annoyin...

your missing the point there. A chaos army can't afford to have lots of core units cause there too expensive. Goblins however can, and so get lots of extra weak characters.

Changing to picking spells would only work with some other magic balancing, and when I agreed with the idea I intended to mean this. As for character slots, I agree there is a problem, but I still like it! Perhaps reduce the characters and allow a new type that allow a champion to have a single magi...

from my limited experience I would say only DoC are broken, and VC and DE just have power lists available to them, which could be solved with game wide fixes. max 10 power dice, no more than 2 characters including champs in the the front rank. Fixes most problems, leaving only a few power builds. Fo...

picking spells is a good idea. Would also mean we could have more than 6, and some could take two picks. As for victory points, i quite like them. I also don't like the objectives in 40k, so i wouldn't want to change over to that. A pitched battle is always good! Maybe a kill point system like i've ...

Well... interesting stuff... What i think they should do, but know they won't, is: Finish two new books, and release the armies in a new starter set with the current main rule book. Then finish all the armies, including CD. Then wait abit, then move into 8th edition. new starter kit with new armies,...

Love it!

Post away with more pics when you have them, it will be great to see the army shape up.

few pointers: Read your post back and check it makes sense. I assume English isn't your first language? "I got a Model none GW that I'd like help with" would read better as: I have a non-GW model that I would like help with" Crop images to show just what you want. There's lots of unne...

sounds good. I haven't really looked into daemons at all, so I wouldn't think much on anything I say about them!

you may find witch elves are too fragile for HE. They need to hit first and need to fight low armour opponents. the ASF means that you may never attack with them.

this is interesting. I see CoS as mainly a magic army so usually I would only have one max combat character (in 2kpts). Currently i have no demons, so i would not take the herald, although they do look like a very good choice (especially with the added bonus of more magic!). For purely fluffy reason...

IMO if you drop the sorceress then having a manticore and dragon isn't cheesy at all. you've given up all magic for two beasts. Another alternative is to drop the manti and the sorceress and got with two peg knights. Seems to be quite popular at the mo, and its easy to see why! Add in some null tali...

The whole theme of the list if deadly but fragile. The anointed steps aside slightly from this, as a bridge between Druchii and Chaos, but importantly he is a bridge between them, not a tank that might as well be a Chaos lord.

Personally i don't feel the changes need to be made to just VC. Instead make restrictions on all armies. No army can use more than 10 PD in one turn, and something similar for dispel (maybe 8?) No unit can have more than 2 characters (models which can leave the unit, include lords heros, assassins e...

its worth keeping masters just so you can build a list with peg knights in to have that extra fast punch!
