Putting together a 2k combat list to crush my HE buddy. Last game he brought 30 PHeonix Gaurd, like 20 white lions (the ones with the cloaks), some sisters of averlorn and 2 bolt throwers. I was running a magic heavy list (without any heavy cc hitters) and for winds of magic rolled snake eyes round ...

Hello fellow Druchii, My name is Jasper, I am 27, I live in Manhattan, have a wonderful wife, and two dogs named Oakley and Merlyn. About a month ago I decided I wanted to get back into WFB, after not playing since I was 14 or 15 (when my ill led skaven regularly got crushed in 'Hero Hammer'). I cho...

Thanks For the feedback/advice. Appreciate all the insights melle, will experiment, I didn't even think of keeping the legs! Silly silly me.

Morning all, I am just comming back to after a long absence and my modeling skills are sub par. I have one of the Dark Elf Sorceress Riding Dark Pegasus</a> models from I think the 90s, and am having trouble finding the right rider to act as a hero. Any and all advice is welcome. -JGB I couldn't get...

@Alithyra, Ah!!!! You are right! I accidentally cheated!!! The list as is did well last weekend... would probably still work with 10 more x bows and no reaper.

At 1,999 points used in a 2,000 point game, can I run 500 points of lords or do I have to add a single point somewhere??

Thanks for all the great feedback! I was really looking forward to running a random lore, but you all are right that that is a huge points drain . I still really want to try him... but have dropped him for now. Calisson good call on the COB BSB, incorporated. Are 7 BG effective any way other than a ...

Why not drop the shields and add 10 more spearmen?? Unless you are up a lot of s3 attacks more models > 6+ parry save. There was a good post in tactics a week or two ago.

28 man SS bunker seems rather large especially as you can move the sorceress from unit to unit. You could make most of the spearmen crossbows and have a heavily ranged list esp with the shooting protection corsairs have, or make an anvil of spearmen as only they or your corsairs can break the +3 ran...

First some background: I am returning to WFB after 10+ years away (I used to be an awful Skaven player in 5th), my friend is also starting with me and had never played before yesterday, where in our first match (a 1,000 point magic less battle) my dark elves obliterated his high elves killing every ...

The UK is a bitter ex!

It could very well be US customs. The Internet says it is not uncommon for things to be held up and that US customs doesn't notify you for 30-45 days!!!!!

This is great! Love the theme, love the fluff! I personally dislike the DE executioner models and am hoping to use some of the glade guard hooded heads to make badass executioners in cloaks/capes with huge swords. Hooded woodland execs would be awesome! Happy modeling! -JGB Ps. I'm very much looking...

I ordered a bunch of Vallejo paints from the UK (I live in NYC) on 8/14. The vendor sent my package and sent me a tracking # on 8/15. The tracking number didn't work for a couple of days and since it has it has shown "your item posted on 20/08/13 ##### has been recieved at our international mai...

Makes sense. Theoretically it seems you could position a unit at any acute angle to your "target" enemy unit. Because of the nature of fixing a corner as they wheel, the near corner of the unit will swing into your 1" bubble if they try to out maneuver. You really just have to block t...

Make that 65 X-Bows without shiels! Muhahaha!!!

This is great. I've been thinking about the 1" rule a lot and am happy to read your write up. What about a list to take this to the extreme: 6x 5 harpies 2x COB 35x executioners 59x x-bows (in either a couple blocks or smaller units) Sorceress 2x hydra Use the harpies to force your opponents' t...

You read it right, no mages for this first battle. Next we'll probably do 1,500 or 2,000 pts with wizards. We're both just getting into the game and so learning as we play.

Thanks Cold, and good point on the hydra, I probably would've sent him charging in wildly without that advice.

Solid post atanatari, I'm comming back to WFB after 10+ years away and this gives me a lot of ideas on expanding my force.

My friend and I decided to start playing fantasy (I haven't played since 5th edition (when i was an awful skaven player) and he never has) and have each purchased about 3,000 points worth of elves over the past 2 weeks (him high, me dark). For our first battle (next weekend) we decided to do 1,000 p...
