Re: Triple manticore list 2400 (can this work ?)

List looks awesomely fun! My gut reaction was that Direweasel was right that you could use more magic, and a lvl 2 of Beasts might work well giving you both a buff and hex with the warlocks.... BUT I think you just don't have the points. Have you considered a High Beast Master instead Hellebron? He ...

Re: Mango's March to War - Army Blog

Thanks again Dark, your input is very helpful and has given me some food for thought. You are right that it is a little lite on shooting to sit back and wait, and lacks some of the hard (sustainable) hitters of many competative builds (with no COB, Lock Bus, or Horde of Execs). The goal of the list ...

Re: Black Guard - turn your back to the foe?

With Standard or Musician, you could put them 1 wide with Kouran in the 2nd-4th rank. As long as you don't get flanked, they would have to kill every other member of the unit before striking Kouran.

Re: Mango's March to War - Army Blog

I am not sure I really like your latest iteration of the list that much. The main reason for this is probably that I don't really rate core units, not matter the army. You have 710pts in core, while you only need 500. You could probably trim some points here if you don't feel like everything is abs...

Ah, the Kako-Necturus , Harkyl was somewhat nostalgic for the vessel, not being much of a sailor, she was the first real ship on which he had travelled, She is shallow in the draft, and long and narrow along the beam; her hull is made of overlapping split boards of alternating colors -together that...

Re: Group 42 - Prologue: Mysteries of the coast

Five days ago our ship a cutter known as Kako-Necturus (The Water Deamon) sounded shallows about 30 miles south of here with a force of about two score blood-sworn corsairs and half again mercenaries. I was among the mercenaries and one of the few – despite the looks of me - able bodied scouts. We ...

Re: Wildrider Buses for the poor Woodelves?

Movement 9 isn't slow for cavalry. True. But what makes our buses superior is the vanguard. Because then starting on DE player turn 2, you are in the enemy deployment zone lined up for flank or rear charges. So I would want to keep that sort of flexibility and keep the WE Heroes on steeds.

Re: To Counter a Double Flee... Double Charge

Exactly you roll charge distances and resolve the charges all at once, but you declare charges and resolve charge reactions one unit at a time.

Re: To Counter a Double Flee... Double Charge

I don't think that's quite how it works because all charges that are declared on a single unit (like 2 charges on unit X) are worked out simultaneously. From my limited understanding, X would do its best to triangulate a direction equally away from both A and B, and flee that direction. This accomp...

Re: How to build a Dreadlord on foot

If you have the points you could run a second hag (not on a cauldron) with obsidian blade and witch brew). Depending on your opponent she could either give a second unit (maybe) execs frenzy, or combine to make the witches ultra Killy. I don't run a COB, but agree with askador that the COB hag is ul...

Re: How to build a Dreadlord on foot

Before reading your build alternatives I was going to say: Giant Blade + Dawnstone and for a full kit + Dragonhelm or OTS.

HE silverhelm buses run it often and it looks like it dominates. Really nice teeth and Dawnstone is better then 4++ vs most opponents.
