tbh there is no good trick here. patience and precision. im usually not much of a face painter but with enough time and care i could achieve this result. dont really think there are any shortcuts here. just do NOT use too much contrast when painting lady-faces. they will look like men (just check my...

its pretty simple. i use khemri brown (old foundtion, but its a grey-brown almost khaki color) with a dab of black folowed by a wash of black. then i paint lines with pure khemri brown followed by some highlights with khemri brown with a dab of bleached bone.

wood elf glade guards have masks (phantom of the opera style) or hoods, but they can look pretty damn good on warrior models

that should be obvious. if 6 shots are roughly equal damage output as 20 shots, the RBT it more likely to kill a few guys while it has no chance of killing 7 guys...

i didnt print the individual percentages because it was just too much typing. however, if you define "success" as the chance to hit, wound and pass armour, then it is trivial to calculate. all calculations i made are statistical in nature, so they assume you fire an infinite number of time...

RBTs are slightly better than RXBs versus some targets. RXBs are better against others. I personally play one RBT and two units of 10 RXBs. Some games the RBT dies, some games it survives. Some games i miss all shots, some games i hit the enemy general in the eye. Statistically they are very similar...

traditionally you can build up a colorscheme like this: Color 1: Armour (possibly ad details in a separate color, usually gold) Color 2: cloth Color 3: spot color (often a bright color that contrasts with the armour and cloth. often for things like sword scabbards) Color 4: leather/wood (dark dull c...

agreed. 5 wide ftw.

id say the biggest weakness is a cunning opponent with fast units. that unit is FRENZIED. remember all the nice advice we have given about how to handle big blocks of khorne warriors? thats right. they HAVE to overrun. you can mitigate this by bringing an extra helping of fast units and quickly clea...

all you need for both pinning and magnetizing, and pretty damn cheap too

my vote goes to WE too. the AP banner is HUGE, and the fact that they become stubborn near the cauldron has saved me more than once (damn mournfangs). ALSO we are talking about half naked chicks. if you can chose to include half naked chicks in your army OR not do that... well, you see my point? Wit...

@red we dont have any changes for those. we havent really changed the amount of PD you get, just made it a much narrower distribution. the power of an added power die stays nearly the same as it is ON AVERAGE with the normal rules. the power of sacrificial dagger for example fluctuates based on how ...

thats precisely my point. You should never leave home without a flying master, harpies, shades and DRs (and i much prefer dark magic too). Hence you have all the tools in your toolbox, and its just a matter of how you use them

Hi fellows! A few weeks back me and my gaming group started to experiment with some house rules to reduce the randomness of magic. you know how it goes: if you get a good magic phase on the turn of "the big battle" you win. If you have a bad one (or your opponent has a really good one) you...

TBH you should be happy for that win. you have ONE fast unit in the entire list. 3 is a bit low for 2000p and though i have limited experience at 3000p im assuming you ought to have more than 3. a cunning opponent can dictate the battle by using small cheap units. if you do not control the movement ...

Flying master, Supreme Sorceress with dark magic, Harpies, Dark riders and Shades should take care of this. Since all of the above should be included in all lists, there shouldnt be a problem You can try to use you infantry blocks to charge skinks if they can see. he will either stand and shoot or f...

i use wood elf glade guards. check the link in my signature for pics.

very nice. i love your simplistic but very crisp work. makes me wish i was better with GS

ive heard that suggestion before. do you have any pics? sounds terrible imo (no offense intended) but i have been wrong before

lovely!

it is indeed 3d6 (chose the 2 highest) + 10"

hmm... i thought i commented on this post earlier... weird...

anyway, i welcome a fellow math-hammerer back to the hobby

i have yet to see a single case with demonettes as witches that doesnt look completely atrocious. dark eldar wytches will serve you much better, if you can accept the amount of clothes they wear

isnt it a bit of a drag to have to deploy the unit in 2x12 formation just to be able to shoot properly? in 7th you could have the unit as a nice skirmish lump when not in combat, and still shoot, but now it has to be 15 inches wide. it sounds like a big problem to me, but i have no real experience h...
