So Nightshroud... wow, way too good for a vampire for its cost, though reasonable for a necromancer I guess since they won't be dealing out punishment. Then I realized that vampires can't take armor (or is it heavy armor?) without taking Avatar of Death. This would make the cost of Nightshroud on on...

As said, Spirit of the Forge can ruin your day, easily. Something like that you don't want to play with, and rolling dice is most certainly playing .

On that note, something came up the other day that at first we were uncertain of, but then decided on it and played. Regardless, for opinions - what all do you consider infantry? Are Skaven weapon teams (25x50mm bases, 2 models on one) infantry? We decided that since they were on foot they were. The...

Well, good that it's not +TM cost, too. Thanks!
But like the rest of you.. I will not be fielding him any time soon . Old Kouran was such a badass, very sad.

Heartrender, I think Mordru's comments on another page just gained credibility. These were answered recently and also easily findable in the rulebooks. I'm not trying to flame you, but the # of easy questions you're asking is growing seemingly exponentially. I usually like your non-question posts, t...

IIRC it says in the army entry section, something like BG - 13ppm, champion 14 points, kouran may replace the tower master for X points (dont' remember value right now) making him the X + 14 + 13 = overpriced. Book's at friends down the street right now and it's 2:30am, but I'd put money on what I r...

Hahaha - it's clear to me, but a terrible example - the bit about max wounds lost to instability ("Is it 10? Roll 12 - Ld 2"). You'd think there example contradicting it wouldn't use 10, as it could reinforce the mistaken belief.

Sheesh...

All models come with hand weapons, of course
But as it's written the Deathpiercer gets KB subsequent rounds of combat. Will probably be FAQ'ed, but we weren't worried about that part of it, as This does apply to some other armies' weapons, too.

Here's the situation: My manticore lord charges a unit of Bretonnian knights wielding Deathpiercer, and fluffs his attacks . Well, they all hit, but then the manticore decided not to wound but 1x, my lord got no KB, and all the attacks except 1 were saved by Bret's obnoxious armor/ward save combo. O...

LOL, I said that on p1 of this thread, Thanee I appreciate the restate - that was a strong point, I felt, in favor off not getting the parry bonus. This thread, now, is just amusing me. I can no longer bother to be frustrated by it. I'm getting to play again now the last few days, though, and I'll s...

I know. But that is also my point as well, it makes no mention of it being a flank or rear attack. Therefor it can only be one thing, an attack in the front as we can safely assume if it would have been anything else it would have been stated(It's GW I know). Why I say that is beacause of the core ...

Hahaha, yes entry 13 is awesome for its head!

Entry 9 - nice banner, someone!

And does anyone else smell a GeOrc in this competition somewhere? I could be wrong, I left my mithril sword back home, can't see if it's glowing right now...

Just like stat-based tests (I, S, T) always fail on 6's, not 1's and 6's.

Witchbrew could be useful, though, on the Death Hag when she's with the Cauldron, as it might cause weak WM hunters to lose combat and break. That is [i]if[/i/ she could take it, which it sounds like no. Just to provide a use, Kuren.

He is part of the unit, the unit takes the break test, they cannot use his Ld, so they use their own, modified in the case of non-Khainite units s you've written it, and if they flee he flees with them. Characters can't leave a fleeing unit, they go with it, and its always the unit as a whole that i...

1) No - flying monsters can never join units.

2) No, unless an exception is stated clearly - dispel scrolls, power stones, null talismans... I think that's it for us.

So... I was just reading the VC FAQ, and I believe that one of its clarifications relates closely enough to this to give indication of intent: Q: In a situation where a vampire automatically kills an enemy model (frost blade, sword of kings (KB sword, right?), S7 wounding hit vs a chariot) and he ha...

NO MORE SCALY GREEN OR MIDNIGHT BLUE??

I've been not painting in far too long, but that is really really bad news for me. Damn - did/are they replacing them with something else?

EDIT: wording made it sound like I just started, whereas I haven't done it in a few years.

Base it on Mordheim style rules, maybe? Declare at the start of each combat, can't switch mid-combat?

I'm betting Shadowblade has plenty of daggers on his person, more than enough to coat different ones with varying types of weapons. But at 300 points and 4 attacks, I don't see this mattering much. I never got around to fielding the old version, though I wanted to, but now.. I think he, Tullaris, an...

What about a noble with the pendent and sword of might on a cold one with armour, in a unit of cold one knights. Challenge with your hero and crush the unit on the charge. edit: Otherwise, spearmen with command, master with pendant (accept challenge), war banner in the unit. You outnumber, your mas...

Funny enough the Q&A or whatever inside the CoS items just says it will continue to remain valid after the SoC is over, but generally people follow the UK GT for rules, and they stopped allowing this, so it fizzled other places, too, even before our new book came out. It's "tradition" ...

I'd rather have a straight 4+ WS for 45 points, like most armies. They took away the MSoL, the CoBI, and made this too expensive for a noble. Sure the pendant is great, but that makes it the no brainer for your lord (highborn or sorc) and then the rest of our heroes are left with much less protectio...

I look forward to using it sometimes, and the char will also always have the PoS for that critical turn of surprise (at least the first few times). I think that they need to remove the rule that you have to use a magic weapon if you have one (unless Bretonnian). That implies that the characters are ...

The hand weapon and shield bonus applies in close combat. The BW is resolved as close combat attacks. Isnt there a difference between "close combat attacks" and "close combat"? Like one is a phase and the other is a matter of striking. The hand weapon and shield bonus applies in...
