Re: 9th Age - ETC & Swedish collaboration rule set
I do not think "serious tournament experience" is needed. This game is not only for tournament players but for casual gamers as well. There should be someone in the team to care for those as well. If you know what players generally want and what would alienate them in turn, you would be a ...

Re: Lost colony chronicle - 9th age against Swordmaster!
@ Lord Drakon: Well, I am aware Swordmaster is a far better player than me when implementing MSU tactics. However, this can be mitigated somewhat if one is cautious enough. Not that I claim I managed to do so. I just think that there are far better ways how to bleed me points than to kill this over...

Re: Lost colony chronicle - 9th age against Swordmaster!
Well, I am still a Dark Elf player. I will try some other race from time to time to get a perspective but those are only temporary detours. Quite a lot of possibilities have opened, indeed. The archmage on star dragon is one. A grifon prince might be strong but so is a manticore dreadlord with CoT. ...

Thank you for mentioning it. The article is from 2013 - any new info about this? Two years of perfect customer service would be a good sign. Anyway, in this case, it has probably sense to buy from 3rd party resellers. Battlefield Berlin , for example, seems to have most of the Mierce products in sto...

Building armies without GW
As you have surely noticed, the morale among players is low these days. Many are claiming WHFB is a dead game with no chance of a long term survival. One of the reasons often cited is that allegedly, there is no way to build armies without the GW supply. The aim of this post is to fight this thought...

Re: Tactical Challenge - Deployment
How many points is this? Seems quite a lot. 1. shades positioned to grab the house. With a -3 penalty to shoot at they will be very difficult to get out and reducing the number of any unit will be welcome. 2.

Re: Going 1st or 2nd: maximise advantage / minimise disadvan
Going second gives you a great freedom in your last turn because your opponent will do *nothing* that you do not allow him to. You can put a lone sorceress right in front of his uber unit and still lose nothing. No need to worry about charge arcs, spell ranges and whatever anymore. This can allow fo...

Re: Druchii.net 1st Universal Battles Tournament Results
When for each decision, there will be several eyes to look for weak spots and several minds to discuss possibilities, how is anyone going to make a mistake? Such a thing could be fun but I fear it would be extremely time-consuming for the organizer. A tournament is far better in this regard. Alterna...

A pity that the fourth round did not work after all. I was looking forward for the battles... mine including.

Re: Poll: What brought you to the hobby?
I should probably start. I was actually introduced by two community members. First, some ten years ago, a friend who was playing told me some stories about his glorious conquests and I thought such a game might be fun. As I am no modeller, though, I did not start it actually - until Rowena started p...

Poll: What brought you to the hobby?
Just for fun and to hopefully ignite some light discussion and nostalgic memories. There are many claims about the end of Warhammer et cetera so I thought it might be nice to look back at the happy beginning times. Note that the question is NOT about what did you like on the hobby but rather how did...

Re: Group 42 OOC
Sorry for not making it clear. Basically, there are two guards in your way. He can probably dispose off one of them silently but hardly both. So you have the opportunity to come up with something clever. (and more importantly, to actually *do* something)

Sorry it took so long, I am quite busy these days. Not sure if this will change in the foreseeable future, probably not but I will do my best.
Anyway, I will be almost without internet for the next two weeks so you should have enough time to react.

Re: Light Magic : Kharibdyss or Cold One Knights ?
I say go for the khari. Your army list is somewhat short on high strength attacks as far as I know. While knights are good in this regard, a khari is even better. It is a model that you can park in a unit of knights, provided there is no high strength hero, and it should chew them down eventually.

Hey, was the deadline not supposed to be today at midnight? Does not matter, though. My story exceeds the limit by more than 100 words and I really have no idea where I could cut without it losing sense. So here I present a bonus story, not part of the competition but hopefully worth reading anyway....

Is the tournament held under the 8ed rules no matter what? If not, all the more reason to go full on fast cavalry. Other units might shift in their value depending on how their rules will be reworked but you should always be able to run in circles, charge the enemies you can break immediatelly and s...

Hi, thanks for the interest!
Kinslayer is contemplating starting a new group so try contacting him. If you do not reach an agreement, write me - I am leading a group and might be able to fit you in.
