Apologies for the threadomancy, but as the homepage/portal page has now gone, and all we have is the index page, I wanted to ask if anyone remembers what Hammer and Anvil and Machiara's Battle Glade were for? I know The Pyramid Vault was for the Lizardmen; was Machiara's for the Asrai...?

V. interesting; will read tomorrow. Headed to bed, as I'm feeling unwell...

Much appreciated! I hope the forum really gets going again, I'm not much a fan of using Facebook, and forums are great for making army blogs, bat reps etc. Agreed! I had another person say on Facebook - at least I think it was Facebook - that forums were outdated; does anyone agree, or is that just...

I'll prepare a migration to phpBB 3.2. I've just done the experiment on Dnet, and I can get it to work. This is a solid short term solution that doesn't exclude any long(er) term options. For Discourse, my main concern is cost. Full disclosure: Right now, the hosting cost is 20$/mo to host 4 sites:...

I would love to see rules for sea battles, or failing that, ideas about combining Man O' War and 9th Age.

Back to Warseer, Reds8n (mod at Dakka) says it is server and database issues and it is still worked on. .... Off topic warning I do not want to get into immigration management in EU (as it should go in a separate thread and there is actually no management). The stupid thing about the arsony I menti...

It was; unfortunately, it seems WS is still down....

Will the old Portal page return, or is it gone for good?

Me learned friends suggest server issues for Warseer, which even as you ... read are being worked on, and should -- assuming the machine spirits are suitably appeased -- see the site back in operation this weekend. That meant last weekend, it is down for more than a week already. It looks like they...

Well, at least they weren't attacked; it's just that some guy on WarSeer had his website attacked because f-ing Anonymous got his Ancients site mixed up with a site for supporters of the ISIL/ISIS terrorist group, when all it was was probably a reference to the Goddess Isis in connection with ancien...

I've tried to load WarSeer several times today. No luck; have they died/gone offline/been DDoS attacked? What's up with it...?

Aw crap!! And with the Age of "Oh look, we blew up the world!" upon us, is there any point in trying to re-write it all?

Is it me or is the portal page gone?

A shame really.

Yes, it is. To be frank, I'm not going to bother with AoS. I will always play 6th, 7th or 8th where possible.

Specialist Shooting I'd written the Scouts into my list to deal with Regen, mainly because of a hair-raising encounter with Chimaeras at the Pompey Pillage. But I ended up facing only Throgg's Trolls in game two and even at M6, there were faster targets that stopped me focusing fire there. I like t...

@Silver: Your skit pic of MLP:FIM made me LMAO!! I'm no Brony, but I gotta say, I once watched one episode on the recommendation of this girl I know, and oh man, if anyone's on anything in that show, it's gotta be Pinkie Pie and LSD!!

Hope this is allowed; I'm just bumping this for more people's views and also your views about how to COUNTER High Magic!

I don't think Neferata sired Abhorash. She offered her Elixer of Life to eleven (iirc) nobles of Lahmia, Abhorash was its greatest warrior/soldier and quite dashing if memory serves me correct.. Neferata had a thing for him too iirc. :wink: He doesn't have her blood in the same way as the Bloodkiss...

I prefer photos 'cause I can't seem to get the hang of using BatChron.

From what I remember, mainly from White Dwarf around the time of the 6 Ed. Undead book, Aborash was the vampire who cured himself of his thirst by drinking dragon's blood. "His greatest disciple, Walach Harkon, founded the Blood Dragons, who range far and wide from their home in Blood Keep"...

@Milliardo: Don't be so hard on yourself - you're just a white dude with long(perhaps too long?) black hair.

I'll post my own pic here later once I find a decent one to post.

On a slightly OT note, my subscription and PM notifications have suddenly stopped again. Any mod who sees this, some help would be appreciated.

Slightly unrelated Q. Are any of you guys getting your 'subscribe topic' emails? 'Cause I don't seem to be getting any of mine, and I DID subscribe to this topic, which I generally do with all topics I start... :? :? RE High Magic, you guys are giving me plenty of food for thought about fighting wit...

@Eric J ; @The Silly Dragon : I think I have to agree with both your points. If I have legitimately bought something, as far as I'm concerned, I'll make as many backups as I damn well please!! And if you don't like that, then as we Irish say you may "Pog mo thoin!"(stupid American-style k...

Hi all! I just wanted to ask what you all thought of the new version of the Lore of HM? Do you miss spells like 'Curse of Arrow Attraction' and 'Vaul's Unmaking'? Or do you feel the new Lore better suits the HE army? I have the new army book in front of me, just can't seem to find my copy of the pre...

@Malossar Dragonborne: Tethlis, eh? He's always been a pretty serious player, IIRC. D'you know if anyone has bothered to post a proper evaluation of the new HE units yet, e.g. Flamespire Phoenix, and the new airborne chariot?

there are some savvy ways to do deal with cannons but its annoying spending 3 turns just keep flying characters alive. We will see what the new book brings, but I am more then likely going to start testing with the most mobile setups and work my way from there. Better hope they don't screw with you...

@csjarrat: Yeah, O.K. I take your point. Generally though, a lot of my games are 'closed list' games, so it's not always certain I will take the VHS anyway. Furthermore, I usually write three different variant lists at each point level I write lists for. Call this dumb if you want, but I often plac...

Some good points there. Why do you dislike VHS so much? It's not much more than it was in the old book, and can be a nasty surprise. I wouldn't take it on a wizard lord though, unless I combined with a talisman of pereservation, and was ridiculously lucky at rolling 4+'s. Good point, about spending ...

Hey guys. These are supposed to be relatively balanced lists, but due to my collection and the higher points costs of infantry in the new book, there may be a slight imbalance towards missile troops and/or warmachines, or possibly cavalry depending on the other units in the list and how the points w...
