How many people are you ever going to sacrifice though? When I played my heavy magic list, I sacrificed at least 1 model per turn with a L2. Also, Power of Darkness is nice but here's how I do with my L2 with the Dagger: 1st spell: Power of Darkness - 1 dice - Sacrifice if I see no 1. 2nd spell: Sp...

They should be on the base the models come with (unless it's a GWS mistake). However, I would play against someone who use different base size if he plays them as if they were on the right base size. (Like a friend of mine made harpies that has cavalry base but he plays them as if they were infantry...

Both are good but I prefer the spears warrior to sacrifice since I always use 25 warriors FC as sorceress with dagger bunker since they'll have more utilities than 10 crossbowmen.

But both options are good, it just depend on the playstyle you prefer.

The only difference is the execs have an option for Great Weapons and the Black Guard are Immune to Psychology and have Warrior Elite But the BG can have a S6 Champ, the ASF banner without having a BSB Death Hag inside it, etc. Of course, the BG are more an anvil than a punch unit and the Exec are ...

It's really sad when Black Guards are better than every other infantry... I only used Black Guards once and found them cheap for what they can do.

As Rork said, yes you take take another round of d6 str6 hits in the turn #4.

Also, if you charge a unit and the fact that your chariot has to be in the forest after realigning the chariot to the unit, you'll have to take D6 S6 hits.

There's a couple of things that you can do. First of all, take a L4 with Tome of Furion and pick Lore of Shadow (You want Pit of Shade) which will negate both regen and ward save and with the Nurgle's init pretty low, they'll sink like a rock. Of course, if you only take the L4, he'll pick the Lore ...

End of discussion! :D


False, the hit is done with the White Sword (Great Weapon, KB), so the ward save is 5 and minus because the blow is done with S6.

Dyvim is right and sound like "Death Strike" is "Killing Blow" from the White Sword.

You can use your pendant which would have probably saved you.

Crawd- Who cares if they are vulnerable to shooting? They only need the front rank to screw up just about any unit.

I would drop 1 unit of 5 knights and swap another for Knight Errants with Errantry Banner.

13 witches with FC, MB and BoM and BSB death hag with RoK, MB and the ASF banner, will give you 10-12 manbane attacks and 15 poisoned attacks. Even with the BSB the unit is only 405 points. Which is another reason not to bother with corsairs for melee. Except that this 405 points is very vulnerable...

I'll try and make it easy for you to understand now then: Repeater Crossbows have range 24". Black Horror is range 18". RoH goes off in a circle of 12". 18-12=6, though the the template is 5", but you want the center to be INSIDE the unit and not just touching one or two. 6"...

RoH won't even work on Black Horror because it doesn't target your unit. It's the last change in the FAQ, I guess you should read it, so you basicly have 2 Dispel Dice against Black Horror and these kind of spells.

I would like to fight a list like that, it would be really easy to kill the deathstar with Black Horror. You may have MR3 with 2 Dispel Dice but you'll only have your 2 dispel dice against Black Horror since it's a field effect and it won't target the unit.

I don't know what you count as a rule but magic items are rules in my opinion.

It works depending on the rules, if the rules in double prevent you from setting heroes to the second part of the list (Like the one I'll go this week-end), the list you gave just fail.

8 chariots charging a shade deathstar means that 1 chariot will die and 7 chariots will trample the shades.
