D.net UB tournament, Game 2 - Watz with OnG This is the second round of the D.net Universal Battles tournament. I made almost no changes in my roster, the only difference was that I moved the ironcurse icon from the lvl4 to the lvl1. There was a different change, however, and a very important one: ...

Well, you do not have to abandon your reward when rising your pledge. As far as I understand it, if you spend, say, 500 dollars with an early bird lieutenant pledge that costs 160, you will be able to purchase for what the lieutenant box is offering - that is 175 - plus anything that was not spent o...

My match against Watz was finished yesterday as well. You will only learn the result from the report, though. (Unless Watz spoils the surprise of course. )

Also, if you are still uncertain the concept art will turn in good miniatures, in the last update they talk a bit about how they proceed in refining the sculpts. Gives an idea how perfectionistic they can be sometimes.

@ Teowulff: Last kickstarter, the alternative heads were usually unarmoured heads with hair so I suppose we can assume this in this case, too. And will be able to select what models you want after the renders are done. I think at least. If I understand it correctly, then at any stage, you will be ab...

Up to 25% on Allies option for everyone is back. From what I have heard (I did not play back when this was possible), this rule basically meant everyone was bringing as allies either cannons or heavy cavalry. What are your thoughts of that - will you require the allied force to come from core for e...

More or less. I might have a chance even if the dragon gets down but I would need some serious luck then. Maybe I would be able to destroy the machines and win through magic or something. What I forgot to say in the previous post: one of the doom divers exploded which makes Watz a more successful de...

For other news, someone missed crossbowmen? Well, only 30k left (which is extremely likely for the kickstarter to achieve) and crossbows will be unlocked! To be more precise, their spearelves will still be purchasable armed with spears but in addition, the option of a new box will be made where they...

Live report: 5 hours played, game paused after two and half turns. In the meantime, I lost an eagle, small silver helms and the majority of the bus. Dragon and phoenix are wounded for two wounds each. Watz lost two spear chukkas and several goblins and savages. I still have my scroll, he has no arca...

Let me just remind you that the Watz vs. Marchosias match will be held this Thursday, beginning at 8:00 in the morning central European summer time. It will be thrilling! - how many elves will die to the greenskin artillery? - how many goblin characters will be brave enough to challenge the dragon? ...

The notion of something being overpowered only makes sense with regards to a set of rules (and to the terrain where you most often play and your meta). If you are going to change the core rules the usefulness of certain choices will probably change as well. Therefore, I am not sure how much is such ...

Caraoc was standing under open sky, singing and concentrating, pronouncing the name again and again. Hildebrand von Trotzenau, the heretic margrave. Soon, his mind was circling around a fort that he knew had to be Raukarg, a rather small castle but with tall walls washed by the sea and many guards ...

Not really. Ten GW spearmen cost 20 pounds which equals to about 33 dollars. 10 RH spearelves are 31 dollars. Ten GW sisters of slaughter cost 35 pounds or 59 dollars. Ten RH spearelves would be a good alternative for them. Ten GW black guards or executioners: 30 pounds, 50 dollars. Ten RH equivalen...

If there is a company that can do justice to a model like the altar it is them. Well, they can hardly sculpt *everything*. But I think that between sci-fi vestals, daughters of the orphanage, sisters blade maidens and even sisters regular troops there would be enough possibilities to build a scout? ...

I find it hard to decide though, as almost all the models are still just concept art and they don't really resemble how the minis will actually look, if you look at the renders. This is not something I would fear. In their last kickstarter their sculpts were extremely close to the concept art. Chec...

I was assuming the tournament was open lists. In a closed lists game, charging a lone hero in a unit of this kind would indeed be unwise as Thraundil says as the death hag could have, say, rune of khaine and obsidian blade for a good bunch of attacks (4-6 I think) that ignore armour. This brings me ...

Sorry, my email notification does not work for some reason. Better now?
Will reply soon.

Opponent's army: While I understand that one has to make some choices due to comp I still think bringing so many S3 attacks is not the way to go. I have nothing against spears and corsairs per se, I just think that he should have left one unit of spears home and brought instead, I dunno, a kharibdy...

Thank you very much for the report! Sorry for not writing anything earlier but time is scarce and there is not that much to comment. Basically, I am not surprised you won. The army your opponent has brought is strange. Nothing has strength higher than four (well, bolt throwers and chariot impacts bu...

Mod post up. Welcome to the first chapter.
The story-shifting part of the text is the one about the prison break but feel free to write other scenes as well.

When Searinox showed her the silver bracelet Analya laughed from heart, obviously in a very good mood. “But Searinox, if you are giving jewelry to a noble lady should it not be you the one kneeling? You really need to work on your etiquette,” she replied smilingly. She stood up and added: “I have t...

Time to get writing, then.

Wow, so many new posts! Do you want to to be given some time to finish your current plans (the dialogue between Gilvaad and Ladry might be somewhat interesting, otherwise, I know nothing about your intentions ), or would you prefer the story to move immediatelly, which would mean you would resolve t...

Analya smiled in appreciation as the throwing knife hit the tree just above her head but thrust forwards again without delay. Searinox made a few steps back, parrying and escaping with quick half turns, waiting what the girl was going to come up with. “So you count on shadows and quick wits,” she s...

Many thanks for all your comments! @ Calisson: Yes, it is nice making some progress. The main reason is writing reports and reading reports of others so I really have to thank D.net (and Ulthuan.net) for this. Tournaments I feel are good for getting to know other armies but one should take some time...
