Lustria Online are reporting Salamanders are 'Obsolete,' too.

Could be a new Finecast wave? As long as it means I can afford 30 Executioners without spending a small fortune, I'm happy...

As a Lizardman player, Saurus Warriors have two key weaknesses: Low Weapon Skill. Low Initiative. They might be tough, but they go after everything except Zombies and Great Weapons. They might have two strength 4 attacks, but they'll miss most things half the time whilst you will be hitting on 3s ac...

So, guess what finally arrived in the mail today! m The constructed base frame: m I've part-assembled the Keeper and the Primarch(?)'s armour to play around the arrangements. I wanted to use the pyre as a sort of memorial fire, but I'm not sure if it quite fits in here (I have to tail the fire aroun...

I've tweaked my list somewhat for a game against Chaos Warriors next week. I'm bumping the level 2 up to a 3 and giving her the Obsidian Amulet, and adding a level 1 on Shadow with Dispel Scroll and Obsidian Trinket. I really felt the absence of my Sorceress after she lost her levels, which is why I...

There's rumour of a BG/Executioner plastic dual kit over on Warseer, and more credible information of a plastic Witch Elf kit in production.

When the rumours emerged they were still 12-18+ months away, though, and that was back at the start of the year.

So, I'm thinking that if I drop the Knights I can replace them with a second chariot. This frees up about 100 points to spare, most of which goes on promoting the Level 2 to a Level 3 Sorceress and adding champions to both crossbowmen. I'll probably give her a Dispel Scroll - sadly, I'm 16 points sh...

It looks like you ran your army very static and didn't really move out of the deployment zone. Was that deliberate? Did it impact upon the quality of the game? Definately, and something I'm going to touch upon in my analysis. I was overly cautious with almost everything for the opening turns. I kno...

A Game of Two Halves 200 points Lizardmen vs Dark Elves Deployment http://i.imgur.com/tQQrt.jpg Terrain: both buildings are mundane, hill in the top right is an Anvil. To the right of it is a fence. The wall in the top right is a Blessed Bulwark, and the fence down on the other hill is a Blazing Ba...

So I'm going to use this thread to file battle reports featuring the Druchii Legion armylist posted up over here . I'm using House Arrath as the name of my Dreadlord's noble heritage, though this might be subject to change. For now, I like the ring of it. Sadly, there will be no pictures for a while...

So I played another game yesterday against my Lizardmen army, again played by the same friend - a real nail biter! I'll post up the battle report this evening.

I think I've found the perfect model to use as a base for the empty suit of armour: m. Perfectly, the head, arms and back spikey thing come separate, and there is nothing too outlandisly 40k on the body itself. I just need a full face helmet, and may use one of the Dark Eldar ones that come with it,...

I had a quick game against one of my friends using my Lizardman army today. The one game I didn't want to play was Watchtower. We rolled Watchtower. Only in 2 magic phases out of 11 did the dice go higher than 5, and yet there were still 6 IFs. I probably wont put up a battle report this time, even ...

Fair enough points. What attracts me to the Screaming Bell, though, is a) its size, and b) its plastic and easy to convert. What would you suggest instead?

Equally, though, I can't see the Dark Elves sparing able-bodied Druchii to move it, when they have slaves.

Thanks guys! I've had some ideas for the Cauldron that I've put up in a thread over here. @ MrDark - Regarding chariots... The problem is that I love both the idea and the rules. I've also converted two from High Elf Chariots that I absaloutely adore! If I could fit both in I would do so in a heart ...

Well if you have read my army list thread over here, you'll know I'm looking to make a Dark Elf army with a martial theme. This creates difficulties for the Cauldron of Blood which is naturally extremely Khainite and doesn't fit well with my army asthetic, but is just too good to pass up. What I am ...

So after going back to my Lizardmen for a while, I've been thinking again about what I want to do with my Dark Elves. When I started the army, there were some things that I knew I wanted to run with, and some things that I definately didn't want. My inspiration came from pictures in the army book of...

The comparison still isn't perfect though. Even though the black orc + Grimgor combination costs more points, Grimgor is a combat lord with a limited number of wounds he can inflict. In other words, his only contribution to the fight us the amount of damage he can personally deal. On the flip side, ...

Again, I'm not saying Executioners are bad - I intend to get at least 24 of them. What I'm saying is that your logic is flawed. You can't compare unit A against unit B and say unit A is clearly superior, when unit A has 350+ points of support buffing it (apologies, my math was off) and you aren't gi...

I don't understand this position on Executioners. Because both of the options you mention to mitigate their weaknesses are around the 200 points mark? Don't get me wrong, I like Executioners. I think they work well against their favoured opponents (high toughness, high armour, low numbered rank and...

I can't see where CoK have a scaly skin save? According to their special rules they have Eternal Hatred; Stupidity; Cause Fear; Think-skinned.

Also, am I the only one who didn't realise that Stupidity grants ItP?

Yeah, I hedged my bets and went for a level 4 and a level 2.

Hopefully next time I face him I'll have a cauldron and some executioners, so maxing out the lore of metal won't be nearly so necessary!

So to report back, metal was definately the best shout. I had my opponent dreading my magic phase each turn and hoarding dice against searing doom, allowing me to get off Enchanted Blades, Plage of Rust and even one Final Transmutation pretty easily. With Plague and Enchanted, 24 repeater crossbowme...

I will chime in with a few suggestions. 1 make your own cauldron, unless your just absolutely in love with the GW model I suggest you just grab 3 models and create your own. Having one in your army will give you massive hitting power and great staying power in combat. I'm probably going to do this,...

they will always tremble in fear that you are saving black horror for last, and foolishly lets you get that word of pain off. not even warriors of chaos are as scary when they hit you on 5+ and you hit them on 3+ with reroll The thing is, 18 chaos warriors with hand weapons and shields hitting on 5...

So you guys were right - dark magic worked a treat on High Elves. So what about Warriors of Chaos? Here's the set up. My army is still new so I don't have a Cauldron, Executioners or Blackguard. This leaves me with 10 Knights and 2 chariots to do the heavy hitting, with the rest of my army made up o...
