Ulthuan

Cheers, Rod. Thanks for reading

I'm really hoping for some new aelf stuff in 2018.

I put together some lore for my aelfs (cough... elves). It's not particularly original (everyone plagiarises Tolkien right?), but until Games Workshop pull their finger out and update the aelf factions for AoS its all I've got :P https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hwxIQOKnV5cutvXbUO5o-fkeXYJE098b/view

Nice, any reason for not pooling the Glade Guard into a unit of 20 for the +1 to hit on your opening volleys? I have put Darkshards in my list over Glade Guard, the one off rend is nice but I think Darkshards are more reliable over the course of a game. I couple mine with an Archmage on foot. If you...

It's a good start. Now go write 50 more pages lol Thanks gromo. I'll flesh it out over time, games didn't feel right without some minimal fluff as to why my elves were even on the table. The mages search constantly through their scrying orbs and pools, seeking any highborn who have been scattered t...

I wanted some basic AoS fluff for my high elves. Here it is: In the Realm of Ghyran lies an isle at the heart of a vast inland sea. Here, a group of Highborn have established themselves and endeavour to replicate the splendour of long lost Ulthuan. These aelves name them selves the Asur, in the fash...

Can Arcane Unforging be used on standard bearer models to destroy magic banners? I can't see anything in the rules that would prohibit this. Being able to destroy important magic banners on a +2 seems useful even if your foe isn't fielding many characters.

I would like to be able to upgrade the bladelord to a spellblade for an additional cast (35pts?). The Spellblade is a sort of apprentice loremaster, a level 1 mage who knows a single (unboosted?) sig spell from one of the BRB lores. This would give you access to earthblood or wildform on the cheap (...

I'm guessing Wildform + Regen + Ice Shard Blizzard from the Loremaster to shield the SMs from shooting.

Wildform will make the SMs STR6 and able to deal with high toughness stuff. Burning Gaze from lore of light can be boosted to Str 6.

Good magic phases will be key I think.

Lots of good suggestions, Teclis could be just what you need - fight cheese with cheese.

Any chance of a battle report once you have faced the rats Finrod?

Ferny makes some excelent points. I have ammended my suggested list, the key changes are: * The addition of some small hammer units * Moving the Archmage to the Seaguard to provide them with a ward save to resist any disease going around. Archers are probably a beter choice but I love seaguard. * Dr...

Your friend's list looks pretty cheesy. I don't particuarly like special characters and taking Lord Skrolk means he can run his Plague Monks as core... I have only played skaven twice (only started playing at all this year) so my advice should be taken with a pinch of salt, but here it is: 1) As cpt...

Perhaps it would run under WINE on OSX?

I haven't tried battle chronicler under wine. If it works under WINE it should run on Linux too.

Ah good spot on the core points issue. Thanks. Is my archmage not likely to be killed with the PG unit? I was thinking of putting him with the LSG, using High Magic he could stack up a nice ward save on either unit. My general plan with LSG is to advance nearish enemy but not to charge, stay as a th...

Hi all, I purchased the IoB set and I'm looking to expand what I have to a 1500 point list. Here is my first pass, thoughts?: List edited on 2014-01-12 18:43GMT to fix core points shortfall LORDS * Archmage - Level 4, Book of Hoeth, Golden Crown (285pts) HEROES * Noble - BSB, Lance, Dragon Armour, E...

Thanks for the advice guys! I particularly like Mithstar's suggestion of running my Prince on Griffon model as a Noble on Eagle.

I ordered the HE 8th book today so I will post a revised IoB based 1500 point list soon.

Hi, I'm new to WHFB, I purchased the Island of Blood set earlier in the year and I would like some advice on expanding my HE army to 1500pts. I have played a few games against the Skaven in the IoB set using BRB 8th, HE 7th and Skaven 8th rule books. Given that I haven't purchased HE 8th yet I don't...

Hi, I have only just taken up WHFB myself. I am playing HE and my brother is running Skaven. I have no idea what kind of list he is going to field at our next encounter but I anticipate lots of clanrats/slaves a Hell Pit Abomination. Here is my current 1500pt list, open to critique... ### LORD ### A...
