Re: How to deal with Skaven as High elves

Fully agree with Dwellers, I did try to cast it.. twice? during that game? I got throne on turn 1, and my opponent never tried to dispel it the whole game. I was prioritizing Flesh to stone and regrowth more so than dwellers. I had the Banner of Averlorn in the Lions unit, so it seemed like a waste ...

Re: Warhammer Armies Project: a search for experience.

' I have tried spearelves twice now, I am still not convinced. I will keep trying though. in WAP, I have run a block of 30 spears in a 6x5 formation, if you aren't running the banner of the world dragon elsewhere, this significantly increases their survivability. I find that when my spears die, it ...

Re: How to deal with Skaven as High elves

Isn't dreaded's casting value 25? 6 dice give an average of 21, which means that you on average manage to get it with a lvl4. Add in a few IF, and it's a bit more than average. But getting it 12 times without fail sounds lucky. Don't feel too bad about that then :) Still, it's always nice to come u...

Re: How to deal with Skaven as High elves

Caradryan on Ashtari Slightly risky perhaps given the Storm Banner but seemed to really work out for you taldarinzphoenix. 13 Silver helms, full command Without mounted characters I'd have been tempted to split this unit. he lost 3 wizard levels, lost all his spells except scorch Payback's a bitch!...

Re: How to deal with Skaven as High elves

One thing to note is that you should make sure you and your opponent know all the rules regarding Skaven. They have a lot of very specific ones. For instance, your opponent seems to be missing that the Storm Banner affects his shooting as much as yours. At least, in the errata it was changed to: Pa...

Re: How to deal with Skaven as High elves

One query - did you find the 2 bolt throwers worth it? I've found 2 don't do much and 3 are the minimum to threaten an enemy. Having at least 3 can also tempt the enemy to send some forces against them, because they are more threatening - think of them as a 'stationary redirector', or more accurate...

Re: How to deal with Skaven as High elves

thats 8th edition for you! there was a round of combat where i lost 7 lions, and he lost maybe 13 rats. 8th was known for lots of death, and overpowered magic. dreaded 13th is one of the most annoying and overpowered spells in the edition depending on the matchup. Demons, warriors of chaos, Elves, w...

Re: The importance (?) Battle Standard bearers and other characters in WAP and in general

I would say that if your main combat block is a block of white lions that have a noble or mage in the block with the banner of courage, they will fail roughly 8% of their stubborn break tests in combat, or terror/panic checks etc. with a BSB, and no banner of courage, the chances of failing such a t...

Re: How to deal with Skaven as High elves

This game admittedly went much better than the first because I did manage to kill a few things, but you are correct in that I felt oppressed by his dice, but thats fantasy. he rolled a result of a 7 on 2 of the 3 miscasts, which only took out 7-8 rats per miscast. I dont love trying to very specific...

Ok i have all the models except a mounted bsb but i have a silverhelm standard bearer I can proxy. I forgot about lichbone pendant! Thats better than a 2nd noble on points. I have little experience taking khaines ring on an actual mage, how do you like to use it? 1 die it to start off the magic phas...

Re: How to deal with Skaven as High elves

I asked the skaven player to bring the same list again. I am going to try to make the following modification: Archmage of shadow Lv4, Dispel scroll Noble BSB, Banner of the world dragon and Halberd Noble, Dragon armor, Halberd, Obsidian Amulet Core: 5x reavers, Bows 41 spearmen full command, banner ...

I have used some minor variations, but the one i used in the last game was this: Lord- Archmage, lore of shadow book of Hoeth, Talisman of preservation (I rolled wither, enfeeble, occams and took melekoths) Heros Noble BSB Shield of merwyrm and sword of might Mage Lv1 high magic- Dispel scroll Core:...

How to deal with Skaven as High elves

Ive played 3 games against a skaven player, and all three games, ive felt like i had lost the game before my turn 2. Between the stormvermin storm banner, some combination of the plague claw catapult, warp lightning cannon, doomwheel, and hellpit abomination, along side the scorch spell, plague spel...

Who is the best Caster for High Magic?

Between the options of Teclis and Alarrielle, who do you think is the best Wizard we have access to as the go to caster or High magic? I know it isnt the most powerful of our lores, or the best use of Teclis (selecting loremaster of high magic) but in a 2500 or 3000 point list who reins supreme? If ...

Re: 2000 points 6th ed tournament army list with 7th ed core rules

i would almost think that an annulian crystal on a mage would get more work done over the course of a game than a dispel scroll. definitely up for debate, but high elves, banner of sorcery, and an archmage with staff of sorcery paired w/ a mage w/ annulian crystal is a pretty solid magic phase no ma...

Re: Anointed Build on Flamespyre

Doing the math on the list overall, I would have to play at 2400 or 2500 to be able to also bring a Lv4 or shadow, and still have the ability to have some units on the table.

Would the walk between worlds High magic Spell allow the phoenix to double dip on its wake of fire?
