do not forget that combat can last more than one round, in which case ASF becomes much much more important (you may not lose 15 guys the first round, but losing 8 guys per round isnt unreasonable at all). Also, if you strike before the enemy you may actually kill some of HIS fighting models before t...

nope. combat characters are simply too expensive for what they do. you might want to take a dreadlord (though it is far from mandatory) but if you do you should take him for his utility. usually that would be his Ld10 and (if you are a coward;)) his ability to become pretty much immortal as well as ...

just for some ballpark numbers:

30 executioners buffed with +1A will do 29,63 kills on average against standard dwarfs (with hate)

30 Corsairs with frenzy and +1A will do 10 kills. (10,4 kills if bless with KB instead)

no real competition tbh.

i use a unit of 14 and it works great even at those small unit sizes. yes you will get owned if you let an elite horde charge you in the face, but quite frankly, so will all of our units. use skill and finesse and you will not be disappointed. do not be afraid to deploy 10 or 12 wide, even with just...

i guess it all has been said already, but ill say it too executioners are very good in hordes of at least 30, and preferably with a hag BSB with the ASF banner. against HE things change a bit, and it would be better to have more warm bodies than that BSB, but in small unit executioners weakness is v...

you should have her in a bunker if you use dark magic too. the beauty of dark magic is that all spells are very cheap, meaning you can cast all five of them every turn. that means 5 extra PD from the dagger each turn. you can overwhelm even dwarf antimagic that way, and you do not risk unnecessary m...

very cool stuff, but wont it look very crowded with two winged creatures trying to flap their wings while tied to a pole about half a meter apart? might be cooler to make it a single manticore.

A very skilled TK player should be able to beat a moderately skilled DE player... if he is lucky. if you are more experienced than your opponent he should have no chance baring divine intervention tbh. TK are incredibly weak compared to us. none of their units provides any real challenge to us excep...

ye, i saw that one too, but anyone would slap your face if you tried that and i dare you to find a big competition that will allow it :P

even the really cheesy way op using DRs i suggested (note that im not saying thats the reason DRs are worth using) is WAY less rule abusing than that :P

there is nothing about bases in the rules about line of sight. also, wings and banners are ignored when determining if a model is in sight. it is not in sight if you can only see a wing or a banner. however there is nothing that prevents a wing or a banner to obscure line of sight to things behind. ...

How do you TLOS-players deal with the scenic bases thing? i mean, if i was going to a tournament and had to abide by silly rules i could whip out the clay and make really tall bases to they can shoot over infantry with no penalty. what would you say to me if you met me at such a tournament?

True Line of Sight

In my gaming group we took one look at “true line of sight” when 8th was released and said “wait, that’s a really stupid rule since it makes modelling and converting effect gameplay” and we immediately abolished it in favour of the “all units can see through all other units but they suffer from cove...

It wouldn't really work that way I'm afraid, what he would do is: 1) Charge DR #1 with deathstar. DR #1 flees 2) Redirect into DR #2, who also flees 3) If DR #2 is now blocked by DR #1, charge DR #1 with another unit. This forces them to flee again, leaving DR #2 open for charge by the deathstar.
