I saw some comments online announcing the death of dragons with this faq, I don't really understand why. The main thing to me is the swiftstride clarification, and I already played it like this.

Hi all, Would you have any advice for a beginner to play HE? It seems this army needs a bit of finesse and a lot of strategy in order to win, and right now I think I lacks both. Also, I'm currently trying to make a efficient army list to tryhard until I get the grip over it, would you have any recom...

It looks brilliant! I love it! As mentioned, I'm thinking it will be a very polarised list. Some armies just can't handle this, while others will just shrug it off and beat you to a pulp. Either way, it will look epic. And yes, it will be very quick and easy to deploy. Take some pictures when you g...

I introduced my brother to TOW two weeks ago. WE played 6th edition together. He started learning with skavens and annonces to me this morning he made the stupidest list he could, that people on some skavens group told him the list is as stupid and Bad as it is fun, so I too made a stupid list in or...

I'm not the best player, but it seems like a pretty decent list to Begin with ☺️ I see two things, both regarding the mage: - If you plan to put the mage inside the sera guard, you could give him the honour "Sea guard" for one more bow, - for 1000 points, you Can have an archmage or a prin...

Hi guys! I've been trying to make an all cav list work, sort of a Caledor themed list. I don't think this is really competitiv though, what do you think? Is there a way to make this kind of lists really efficient and scary? More characters on horses ? Maybe just one huge unit of Silver Helms on orde...

Aaah yes, I forgot this one! Thank you

Helms deploy 4x3 to get max rank bonus, starting with Combat Res of 5. Hey Axiem! Thank you for your explanation, it is really helpful in m'y progression. There is something bothering me in your reply: how do you get a static res of 5 with a unit of 11 silver Helms + BSB? I count: - Silver Helms ba...

I'm hoping that the meta now shifts towards MMU as it theoretically is a good answer to the giant points denial blocks. I think that would be a more fun meta and produce games with a much better aesthetic, probably suits High Elves much more too. I'm not familiar with the "MMU" term: what...

We're no different. We are typically relying on Star Dragons, Silver Helms, Dragon Princes, Sisters of Avelorn.

It doesn't look like WE have a lot of variety to play with in a competition setup then ^^

The meta is still very fluid, depending on the area you're in it can be more so. In general, I think it's safe to say the following are considered "competitive": 1. Star Dragon (either Prince or Archmage variations) or 2x Dragon builds 2. Double Archmage + Sisters 3. MSU Cavalry + Griffon...

Hi everyone! The more I look, the more it seems double archmage and handmaiden, or some variation of it, is coming top of the HE Meta. Is there, in your opinion, other types of lists that Can provide the same type of efficiency and results? And if so, why and how ? I'm still learning how to play and...

It is legal. It is also one of the stronger setups right now. Several folks are running 2x Level 4, Noble BSB (either on Griffon or on Foot), and Handmaiden General. It is strong. Can take a look at several of the tournament lists posted on the forum, including Pash’s fantastic reports from a local...

Hi everyone! I just came back from my first tournament. It was intense, really fun and I ended up last: all as expected 😁 The winner was a HE player. I was lucky to encounter him first game, and I learned A LOT playing him (one of the top french 8th edition player). His list had an original twist, a...

Are two RBT a better option than the lion charriot?

I don't understand why you would want the handmaiden as general if you limit yourself to 10 sisters in core.

Hi Axiem! Three things led to this list: - personal preference (I just love the 6th edition dragon princes, and finally beeing able to buy some at an honest Price a few months ago made me start collecting HE), - model availability: despite the listed models, I have about 25 Sword masters, 20 Spears,...

Thank you for your reply and inputs! Sadly I'm limited by my current collection: Only 10 sisters and no skycutter :/

The last.list I did may not be optimal, I don't know if the deathstar concept IS still relevent in TOW.

It Can even go further (At this point, I have no Idea what I am doing), as Axiem suggested it in his post about combat archmage : === Caledor rises again [2000 pts] Warhammer: The Old World, High Elf Realms === ++ Characters [895 pts] ++ Archmage [318 pts] - Hand weapon - Level 4 Wizard - Barded Elv...

Small disclaimer : as much as I'd likde to be a good player, I'm a beginner, which means I basically suck at the game. So when I test my 1999pts tournament's list against an experienced player using a chaos lord on dragon and 200 points of warhounds, I lose. Like, the "I killed 7 warhounds"...

Thank you all for you explanations and illustrations, I understand a bit better now. It's clear to me that, in order to use them well, you have to already be a good player, right ? Doesn't look like the kind of strat a beginner would have an easy job play with.

Hello everyone! Can someone explains to the New player I am how you play archer darts? You take three, put them in a column of 1x5 and marche turn 1 to provoque charges or inconvenient movement in ennemy Line? Do you sometimes redress the ranks to shoot? What if you play against lots of chaff unit ?...

Thank you for your reply and the tools! It's definitely going to change some of my games

All right, thank you so much for your reply! I'm so happy to see that I understood the rule. I've been crushed over and over by a chaos payer who assured me it was movement + 12 + 3. Every game, he has so many hounds that I must declare a charge form over the Battlefield turn1. And how do you play a...

Hey guys ! I have a Silly question that is bothering me a lot : how do you evaluate charge distance with our swiftsride units ? Today, an opponent told me that, for dragon princes, it is their movement + 12 (because of the 2d6 charge) + 3", as the rule says. So AT the beginning of the game, my ...

Hi guys ! I need your advise and opinion about my army list, made for a 1999+1 points' tournament. Event though I didn't play for a long time and don't expect to win, I'd like to enjoy my day, give a bit of a challenge to my opponents and not get stomp over and over without being able to do anything...

Just the sea master. Otherwise, it would be the best ans most broken item ever xD
