Tournament play is the heart of any system and the reason why it succeed's or fails. Probably a quarter of the games I've have played of WHFB are tournament games and they make up many of my favourite games. Pick-up games of balanced armies are how I meet and judge new players. I have a very practic...

Thanks. I agree that more helms in this list would probably be stronger, I'm limited mostly by model numbers here. Loremaster is tons of fun. I love the versatility of the spells. But it is blasphemous to suggest that she ever use any weapon but her greatsword :). It takes centuries of martial mast...

I would, run more silver helms and less archers, but that's just me. Have you thought about a LM rather than lvl 4? Even if you treat him like a mage the spell selection is really helpful. Tricked out he can be a useful combat character as well. ToP, scroll and sword of antiheros works, or SoM and d...

That would work. I usually leave them with a halberd so I forgot.

I've not been playing much of late, but I've stuck together a few more models, which has given me some options. Characters Anointed - Giant Blade = 270 Loremaster - ToP, Dragon Helm & Ogre Blade = 325 Level 1 - Shadow - scroll & Golden Crown = 120 BSB - halberd & AoC = 147 Core 6 SH with...

I' am amped to get ready for Buckeye Battles (a Swedish based tournament -although not 100%) and I'm really struggling to find a way to make a decent list that comps in a 7.0-13.9 brackett -while incorperating some models I'm paiting and converting: Great Eagle Mounted Hero/Mounted Lord level charc...

Too many characters and too many magic levels I suspect. I'd probably drop the light mage to a loremaster and the lvl 1 for more troops. You can stick the LM in the white lions then for S-7, T-4 lions or 5+ regen.

Rather like space marines, they live for a thousand years outside combat and about 15 seconds in combat

Well, firstly thank you for all the help and advice Ive been given so far. So many pieces of advice to choose from, so here is what Ive opted to do. Firstly, and dont get offended if this goes against any one piece of advice. Im going to go with the figures that I actually own, even though I would ...

I have 2

Shield of Meryen, golden crown and reaver bow

Armour of destiny, white lion cloak and halberd

I usually run a lvl 4 Beasts so can get S-3 strength from a spell on the reaver.

A cheap but nasty combo is lore of beasts with a couple choppy characters and the BSB with reaver bow. For a 10 point spell you can make the reaver bow S-8 any turn of the game. Just ignore the #6 spell in Beasts and use that roll for you signature.

Combined with a LM it can get seriously ugly

Good luck with your first tournament. Do remember to have fun, and makes sure you drink lots of water and have some asprin/panadol with you. You will have a headache, i promise. So two griffon riders. You will need to have a "dismounted" figure for each of these guys as their feathery budd...

Thank you for your answers! I'll experiment with all the domain and see how it goes :D What about High Magic, our own lore? If I remember correctly, back when I was playing the 6th edition armybook lores were usually better than the rulebook ones, but it seems that it's not the case anymore? (altho...

Oh I'm not giving up on magic. It's my favorite thing in the game and I quite love the randomness of it :p I just hope I exhausted my IF on three dices then half the army being swallowed by a vortex thingy for the next few games :p Regarding the loremaster, he is really awesome at this point level ...

2x 5

Some of the units, like Reavers and Great Eagles, have variable costs depending on the number of units.

I have been wondering if the changes of the End Times will truly stick or if this is going to be a glimpse into a future that may have been thing. Depends how hostile the response is from the players. I'm really tired of all this chaos versus undead crap. A thought occurs to me though that the refo...

Sooo first game with my epves was a disaster :p He played his vampires, it should had been fairly straightforward for me: magic phase, snipe his necromancer general, blast the vargheist, watch the reat crumble. My Loremaster of Hoeth, after centuries of training and the best gear he could get his h...

Its all about moderation. Don't have more than 18 of anything. Don't run the Book Don't run the BotWD This is one of my 2400 point lists, just to give you an idea. Characters LM with talisman of preservation, scroll & sword of antiheroes Annointed with giant blade and ruby ring BSB with halberd ...

If I follow this path, should I also maybe get rid of the second RBT (if it's alone it's kinda useless isn't it?) and replace it with another SH unit, or maybe a lvl 1 lore of high magic mage (to get the 3+ ward save on the pg?) 1 RBT is fine. The 48" threat range is great for keeping single c...

Thanks both of you for your replies! I will indeed switch one RBT for more PGs, I love those guys :p Regarding archers vs spearmen, and shooting vs melee combat, I was thinking that at this point level shooting is much more devastating, but I feel like if he gets into contact I might lack sufficien...

This is one of my 2400 point lists, just to give you an idea. Characters LM with talisman of preservation, scroll & sword of antiheroes lvl 4 with golden crown and ruby ring BSB with halberd and armour of destiny Core 7 SH with shields, muso and champ 7 SH with shields, muso and champ 20 spears ...

Hello Riffius, welcome to Ulthuan Now my list is a little different and based on my specific play style. I would go with: A lvl 3 archmage with the talisman of preservation A BSB with halberd and armour of destiny Core 6 silverhelms with shields, champ and muso 10 spears with standardbearer, muso an...

Yup, magnets in the bases and a tool box is what I have used for years.

This is My DzC army, but I can get 2,500 points of elves into a 5 draw toolbox.

Well, the Tower of Dust on the south coast of Araby is business as usual. Sure are a lot of new immigrants though. The elves and eagles are fine, just not sure about the giant moggies, cold ones and hydras. The Kharibdyss are such cuties though, they can come.

Game 2 I modified the list, dropping Caradyan and putting my archmage on foot. I added 20 PG with full command and razor standard and 5 shadow warriors. I played an odd undead legion list Death Master necro on horse Death mini vampire on horse 1 terrorghiest 2 warsphinx 3 squads of TK chariots 5 ho...

Hello yourself and welcome to Ulthuan.net OK, there are a few things that you are doing that are really bad ideas, plus some other questions. How many points is this list supposed to be? The mage and BSB on horses when they are the only horses in the army is a bad thing. A 4+ ward save is usually fi...

No ward saves at all apart from the crown? Boosted searing doom, death snipes and high strength attacks will go straight though the Prince's armour.

I have a 15.9 list with two units of 18 PG, so a harder list is certainly possible. What it your normal list like?

thanks for the reply! :D this is my regular list for a 2400 points. i was wondering against a VC army would it be a bad match up for me? since i really don't have units with magical attacks or ill just give you the purple sun in your face. thanks, RD BotWD can really mess with their magical weapons...
