Just a quick thought: if you want to start learning the game and possibly play with others who are just beginning, make a more beginner-friendly and fun list. Your list looks like a tournament-trimmed list that some lists, especially beginner's lists, struggle against. Resulting in frustrating games...

The whitesword is restricted to on foot or chariots only. Unfortunately inordered to have AM use it and SD he needs to be in a chariot if you want him to keep pace with the cav. The ogre blade would work for a few points less from horseback, but it's on the prince واتساب الذهبي The combination of &...

I was thinking of keeping the plan of having a mounted Prince in a unit of Dragon Princes but add an Archmage of Caledor with the Ogre Blade and Illusion/SD. The question is whether to put him into the same DP unit as the Prince or put him into a Silver Helm unit to generate another unit that can tr...

I wouldn't be too sure about RAW... It says single use, yes. But then it says, you may attempt to use it - making a failed test not having used it...

If I could wish for something, I would rethink the role of SW. Not everything needs to be focused on damage output - especially SW as their fluff won't fit anyway.T9A was going in a right direction: let them debuff enemies; especially if they interfered with movement would make them very powerful.

However, the text of the rule definitely reads "it may not move AGAIN", hence the implication that a movement has happened already. Since the unit is not allowed to have moved before the spell, this movement must happen with the spell. As a lot of other rules (see e.g. the discussion about...

It sounds a bit accusatory to say it’s trying to find loopholes and exploits. We’re just trying to figure out how the rules work. Trying to apply RAI is a slippery slope of bias and assumption and can’t be counted on to land on solid rulings. Unfortunately this edition is poorly written and we have...

I still think it shouldn't work. An assailment attack, like a magical missile, should be distinct from "normal" attacks as the magic effect is not within the "normal" skills or control of a person. However, after reading the relevant rules again, the attacks from an assailment sp...

Hm, this FAQ doesn't clear anything but contradicts the wording in the rulebook. It's quite strange.

"Normal" assailment spells As far as I see, it is indeed unclear, whether general rules of the model are transferred to any or just some attacks caused by the model. The question is, whether "attacks", caused by assailment spells, are "attacks" in the same way a model ...

Hey, very interesting stuff is going on here - your lists make me curious about trying a star dragon (many lists look a bit boring as everything just focused on the dragon to win - and I play just friendly games). Anyway, I was wondering if...: ++ Characters [998 pts] ++ Prince [508 pts] (Hand weapo...

No. Please don't.

Exactly. The main thing is, that the AM on SC list is built around him while the AM on LC is 'just' another element in an otherwise self-reliant list. Ofc there are variations in both but the ultra-mobility and fragility of the SC mage makes some elements in the list necessary (additional SC, eagles...

I was also thinking about the AM on Lion Chariot as you forego the White Sword and free some points for protective gear (Seed of Rebirth, ToP) - however, the overall cost is higher and you loose mobility. At the end of the day, this mage plays profoundly different, altering the whole list - not nece...

In principle, your reference to the rule means that, yes, if one model of a unit can see another model part of a unit, the first unit sees the other one. In your example, unit A can see unit B and C. However, as p. 137 BBB states, every model that wants to shoot, has to draw a LOS individually. So i...

Yeah, very nice looking army indeed! Good luck for the event!

Actually, I hope more for the Merwyrm as a new behemoth going with the sea guard / seafarer theme.
Why would the phoenix king have base S5/T4? I wouldn't be happy with this.

That looks like a fun list to play with. And it should have enough hitting power to hold its own in a medium strength environment I think. After giving your list some thoughts, I would like to try something similar. However, I don't really have much experience with a handmaiden general and core sis...

Thank you very much for these insights and it is actually good to see that you also see some issues without a strong defensive unit... I know the other thread. I am following it. I was thinking about something along: ++ Characters [757 pts] ++ Handmaiden of the Everqueen [90 pts] (Hand weapon, Handm...

After giving your list some thoughts, I would like to try something similar. However, I don't really have much experience with a handmaiden general and core sisters. Such a list looks very fragile as nothing really has a decent armor or large number of models per unit. Can you provide some insights ...

Interestingly, the FAQ primarily relates to the question if special rules are being transferred to the character's mount, however, the answer is more concerned with assailment spells...

The FAQ basically slightly errata'd the wizarding hat text by saying "The wearer of the Wizarding Hat is not actually a Wizard – their magical powers are granted by a haunted hat" so I would say none of the special rules of the character apply to spells cast using the wizarding hat since ...

To determine the spells your Wizard knows, roll a number of D6 equal to their Level of Wizardry, re-rolling any duplicate results. I think so as well, as both, item and honor, turn the character into a Level 1 wizard (levels don't stack, that's clear) who, by rules, generates one spell of a legitim...

If it was "until next turn" or even "remains in play" it would be better, but as it stands the only use is for a unit about to charge. Or on stuff you don't want to get shot, either in the first few turns before you get to combat, or on something like a unit of Sisters who don't...

I can only agree with what's being said. I mainly struggle to field PG as my elite points want to be spent on something that hits hard. I guess you could run an elite anvil and substitute a hammer from characters (star dragon) and core (SH) but I find it more to my style of play to field a core-anvi...

No. A spell cannot be cast into combat unless stated otherwise as per rulebook. Fury of Khaine on the other hand explicitly states it can be cast onto a unit engaged in combat.

As far as I see, the rule is worded quite clearly. A model with this rule may reroll a single failed casting attempt each turn. If you have two mages, each of them can choose to reroll if he fails one of his spells. The reroll, however, is not transferrable. So it's not "you" who has two r...

Truth is, you are right and it doesn't say anything about the maneuver having to be performed in the movement phase. Hence, you can argue the free Redress the Ranks will trigger with any movement. However, I think this is not how it was intended to work, i.e. redress while giving ground seems to be...
