What you could do is military and uni at the same time. In australia at least, there are scholarships that allow you to study engineering or science and then require you to do military service as a sort of repayment. If you really get involved in university (i.e. make friends there) it quickly turns...

So I'm in a bit of a financial quagmire at the moment, so I'll have to get rid of some of my models... If you're interested, have a look at (and of course bid on) those: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Warhammer-Fantasy-Empire-State-troops-and-Heroes-/280599491457?pt=AU_Miniatures&hash=item4155087381 htt...

@Red... They don't get hatred again. I'm not sure whether it is FAQ'd but it's not the "first" round of combat for that unit any more. It just is for the unit that charged them, so they would get hatred but not the unit that was already in combat. This is the same sort of scenario as revea...

The only statline that isn't obviously elven which retains it's hatred is the hydra unfortunately. Lame really. Not really lame... why would a horse be any move vicious because the spindly pale man bullying it into battle has an inferiority complex and a temper to rival any mastodon in its midlife ...

Meteor's suggestion is pretty good - just make sure they don't all appear to be shooting at something different. The other thing you can do is to have second and third rand models reloading, or some front rank models kneeling (that might be quite complicated from a modelling point of view, though, a...

Thanks Durloth, for pointing that one out... looks like my next order from Maelstrom is going to include one of those!

put a pin in it, before priming. This way you have the pin to help with gluing afterwards [besides I pin everything anyhow] What sort of drill do you use for pinning? Seeing as you'd have to win the lottery in order to get one of the GW ones, which in all likelyhood will then proceed to break when ...

well I'm planning on switching the Incubi's legs with skirts to make them blend in better with the army Dude... I'm sorry but saying this is just screaming for inappropriate comments involving... scotsmen. Whoever thought for a moment I was going to say something else has a very filthy mind and a d...

Question 1) - The errata quite specifically states that what is ignored is not the whole army selection section, just the page that tells you how your choices are limited. It doesn't even touch the entries for the units, and if a unit is 0-1, it still is. The only thing that has become obsolete is t...

I do like the blue armour on the executioners a lot. I do think that you're missing contrast on the minis. The green hair also doesn't really sit well with me, I'd consider changing the green hair to another colour. I can't say what I'd change it to, though. It's just that on first sight, while I li...

Exploiting a weak flank basically means that you trick your opponent into deploying most of their forces on one flank (sometimes there isn't even any tricking necessary) by starting to deploy weak, expendable units and highly maneuvrable ones (such as fast cavalry, skirmishers and heavy cavalry) so ...

What is there, exactly, to get worked up about? Dalamar's response can indeed be interpreted to be very mildly sarcastic, if you really want to be offended by it. If not, then it really isn't sarcastic. I could be just as offended at the OP trying to hammer into me that if only you write something i...

It's in the tactics forum, under the DRAICH topics - Linky Scroll down the page a little bit and you'll find more than you could ever hope for in terms of tactics and advice. I'll be locking this thread as all relevant replies should be posted in the relevant tactica threads to keep things together ...

Adding to Thanee's comment - if you get an answer to a rules question from a redshirt that is mildly complicated (i.e. goes beyond point costs...) then you treat their answers as wrong until proven right, and for goodness' sake, don't tell anyone you got told by a redshirt A simple experiment also h...

This marching question just reminded me of something else... can chariots now march? because nothing in their entry (that I can see) prevents that, and the description of marching in the movement section doesn't mention any restrictions of unit types...

You will get complaints about fluff - Eldrad fights with Ulthwé, and that's that. Your army has nothing that looks remotely like Ulthwé. Fluff comments aside - you are very light on troops. That was fine in 4th, but in 5th you need more than 2 footslogging troop choices - you'll get a maximum of one...

Indeed Meteor - right back at everyone who's rated any unit poorly - actually, that was the entire point of my first contribution to this thread You've got a point there. I think what helps more is that people state who they played against and what they've found useful against those armies. I've ha...

I very much disagree with almost all of the ones you listed as "bad", Norngahl. 'cept RBT, they are too situational. CoK - awesome, especially with cauldron buffs. They work well taking out elites and their I6 comes in very handy, ensuring they get the kills in before something strikes bac...

Apparently (from what I've heard) Medal of Honor is a bit of a let down as far as story line and gameplay are concerned. I'd wait for black ops, see how that turns out.

Next time, if you start at topic like this it would be nice to give people the links Here's the main Rulebook: Linky Here's the DE one: Linky Doesn't seem to have changed a lot, but there are some very good clarifications for the main rulebook (such as the standard of discipline question that has co...

Run, very quickly and some of your eldar might be left alive ten minutes after catching the first sight of the Sons of Russ. Let's see if I can give some useful advice as well... Wolf guard are not to be engaged in close combat by eldar under any circumstances. They'll eat you alive and spit you bac...

1) No - look at the "shooting at lone characters" section in the rulebook, it's together with the rest of the rules for characters.

2) yes, but don't quote me on that.

EDIT - yeah... Thanee's got it. Helps to read before you reply

If they would let me tamper a bit with it there would be an awful lot I'd change... but if I have to go with one rule, it'd be the overpowering magic. Dwellers Below (or whatever its called) is so nasty, I'd not use it if I got it, which is a pity because the rest of the lore of life is very nice. I...
