Re: Warhammer: The Old World

I still think 3 years is a long time if all they want to do is a rule variance, I am sure there will be new rules they feel work they could try and implant in the old world but I AM HOPING 2-3 years means some solid core rules with play testing. GW didn't do a bad job with the bloodbowl release so h...

Re: Warhammer: The Old World

Yes 3 years is a long time, which is why I assume they aren't taking 3 years to transplant AoS rules to setting they already know and the fact they mentioned square bases would be entirely irrelevant if it was AoS rules. I also assume it would be a very expensive to downsize all the existing model m...

So recently while having the hobby mojo back and waiting for the arrival of my new Vallejo Game Colour paint set I decided to do some reading. I re-read the rule book again just to brush up on things and then as I have a small handful of WoC miniatures to finish off and I will be playing them while ...

Re: Cavalry Prince Reloaded

Great list, its definitely right up my alley. Should be great fun to play and if you can get the most out of your units it should be a rewarding list as well. Look forward to seeing it in action.

Handmaiden

Hey Guys,

Dabbling with an MSU army and was thinking of running 10 sisters with a high sister and the Handmaiden...

How would you kit the handmaiden? defensive? reaver bow/potion of strength? or give the reaver bow to the high sister or a BSB?

Or is she just crap and leave her at home?

Re: Combat Prince Help

aahhh I missed the barding on the mount to take me to 1+

We can't make anything as good as Tyrion can we? and we also loose on a decent ward so a 1+ re-rollable with a giant blade is about our best build?

What about mounting him on a griffon? too vulnerable not being in a unit??

Re: Combat Prince Help

Well both, foot and/or mounted.

Do we have to mount them to get the best out of them? do they need the support of a tough unit unless they're on a dragon?

For reference standard list size for me is ~2500.

Ssssoooo, does anyone have any thoughts or ideas about 3D printers/scanners? DO you think they will affect GW sales when they become cheap enough? I know being charged upwards of double the price of miniatures compared to the UK/US has certainly caused the idea to pop into a few heads around here.
