Re: The Learning Curve

As discussed in another thread I'm new to T9A so this thread will follow my faltering footsteps through learning the game and list development. I'm hampered initially by the models I have so this is the first army I'm likely to put on the field: Here's what I'm starting out with: Characters (1314 p...

I think I've got a bunch of IoB SM models - what sort of price are you thinking? I'm UK based. PM me if you want :)

Mantic might suit your aesthetic? They're not to my taste but they match the description of slender elves to a T.

Re: What colour to paint spearelf shield 'bosses'

At some point I'd like to get wood elf ones, I think tehy're gorgeous and with the right paint job would look just right as highbornes, but as I say, got these cheap and they're what i'm working on right now. they're not terrible, htey're just not the best.

Re: What colour to paint spearelf shield 'bosses'

I'll see if I can sort out getting something onto photobucket SA. I would hack them off, but there's a few where they've come off and cos they've been polycemented they leave the shield melted and it's hard to shave it off, and given the prominence of the shields, it's hard to cover up also. Even pu...

What colour to paint spearelf shield 'bosses'

This week I've been painting up a batch of badly-painted spear elves I got cheap. They started life with me primed black, with some silver on their skirts and chestplates, red helmets and...that's about it. So I've painted in the faces, given them red robes (with a white tunic seperating the chainma...

Re: How to paint white lions (the actual lions!)?

OK - I'm back on this again... Anyone know what the up-to-date GW colours are? Also, is there a handy crib to what is meant by foundation, base, layer, etc. I've cracked out my paints for the first time in a long time and am slowly (painfully) finding out which ones are still useable and which have ...

Re: Mages and Wizards in 9th Age

Fair point, I hadn't read it like that. I still think they can have a decent impact though, but you don't *need* them, and with points so tight you can save points without them and not be crippled. I've been toying lately with putting an 'arch'mage on a dragon (not an OotFH, but a regular Divination...

Re: Mages and Wizards in 9th Age

I don't see survivability as being an issue, or at any rate, no more of an issue than it ever was. You can (and probably should) keep your mage out of combat in an archer-type bunker, and if you're worried you can always get a 4++ or 3++/5++ via the cloak. The real issue as I see it is witchfire, wh...

If I were to buy a model (from the currently available range) just to assemble and paint it it would be the Terrorgheist - such a thematic miniature! I know it's cheating and doesn't help Rod, but I always thought this was the coolest model: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zaWx68QTQok/UKPt1LTLZ5I/AAAAAAA...

Re: Infantry devo - wasDragonMage list evolution from Bristo

It really comes down to what kind of army you like playing. I know some people who really like the tactical side of Dwarves, trying to get your opponent to do what you want, simply by focusing on specific parts and making the most use of what limited mobility you have. But it's not my kind of army....

It was a fun read. Pity you lost, but it was a close game with a few swings both ways. And those are usually the best games to play.
