Hi, I would be interested in Korhil + White Lions and Eltharion - love these old minis! I'm based in France so I guess you would be ok to ship there? Please feel free to IM me.

Glad you enjoyed the reports and thanks for taking the time to comment. I was hoping to write up more detailed reports with maps etc, in the style of Swordmaster's, for example. I didn't take notes though and my memory just isn't good enough to recall all the details of each turn! Oh well, hopefully...

Cheers SA. Look forward to getting your thoughts!

Here is a game-by-game summary of the BunkerBrawl tournament I went to recently - Game 1: Dawn Attack Opponent: Lizardmen Result: 20-0 victory High Elves' man of the match: Frosty http://s21.postimg.org/d5ux6vj7a/DSC_0553.jpg I was looking forward to playing Lizardmen whom I'd never fought in 8th ed...

Two Abombs is pretty nasty! I'm not sure how I'd deal with that if I came up against it. That's a shame about forgetting the flaming attacks. It's frustrating when that happens - I often forget important stuff like the re-roll of ward saves due to The Other Trickster's Shard #-o , if it's any consol...

Looking forward to the reports/summaries! Were there many High Elf armies at the event and how did they get on?

Awesome work! I particularly like the Sisters; the green colour scheme works well with the fiery bows!

There are some good tips on that thread, thanks. If my Lizardman opponent uses High magic I'll have to watch out for Arcane Unforging on my BSB or Prince. I think my RBTs will be particularly useful in this match up to soften them up a bit before I commit to combat. Hopefully, I can get the Frosty i...

Just found out I have been drawn against Lizardmen in the first game (Dawn attack). Another army I have never played against in 8th so I'm really looking forward to it!

Thanks SpellArcher. Yeah, I think I'll avoid 6-dicing anything unless I desperately need to get a spell off. Even with a 3++, a lot of PG could die! They have announced the armies that will be competing in the tournament: Dark Elves = 5 Warriors of Chaos = 5 High Elves = 4 Orcs & Goblins = 3 Ogr...

Yes, thanks guys. I'm liking the new layout so far and it makes sense with all the changes going on.

Hi guys, I've decided to start up this blog to document battles I'll be playing in an upcoming 8th edition tournament and hopefully others in the future (if people keep playing 8th). The tournament I'm going to is called BunkerBrawl and will have 36 players for 6 games of 2400-pt 8th edition. Scenar...

It's good to see that people are supporting this. I'm not sure if it's for me, yet at least, because I'm still enjoying 8th edition! (I started playing it with a group of friends in 2013, so was quite late to the party!). I'm going to only my second 8th edition tournament in the UK (in Essex) in two...

Nice! Keep 'em coming.

Nice blog SA, but could we see some photos of your army and of the battles?

P.S are you going to any of the UK 8th edition tournaments coming up this autumn?

Hi Furion

My friend is a professional fantasy illustrator (has illustrated a number of books e.g Conan) and a big warhammer fan (albeit a dwarf player ). He told me might be interested. Here is his website:

Enjoying these reports! Look forward to more. Out of curiosity, why do you prefer silver helm darts to reavers in your list? I ask as I am planning to use quite a similar list (PG and Sh bus), without Tyrion, in an upcoming tournament, but was planning on using reavers as my redirectors/warmachine h...

That's a good idea Cold Phoenix. IMHO just a few tweaks are needed as I thought overall our 8th edition book was decent. I think Botwd could be made a 3++ for the same points cost as it does seem too powerful. The Frosty could probably do with a points increase while the Flamespyre should get a slig...

I'm looking forward to hearing about it!

Good luck to all the players from Ulthuan especially!

The website for 9th age is up:

Looks like they're doing a great job so far. I hope plenty of people get behind it!

Absolutely stunning work!! Makes me want to pick up my paint brush again!

I am a bit sad about all this as my small group of gaming friends and I had only just started to get into the UK WFB tourney scene! We went to our first one in Essex back in May and had a great time (our only gripe being some of the OP Endtimes stuff!). I really want to go to more tournaments, but i...

Hey Andrew,

I'm really liking the look of your army! I also love the idea of a Caledor themed army. I may have missed it, but where are the elven steed models for the Silver Helms from?

I really wanted to like this game, but the more I read and see about it the less likely I think I'll be able to get into it. My friends feel the same way, so it looks like our group will continue playing 8th edition Fantasy - unless of course GW do release a mass battle system rather than skirmish g...

Disappointing to say the least... I loved the medieval style/setting of the Old World. Then again, I thought gyrocopters were too much! It's weird seeing them on round bases too.

If you are using High magic you should be able to get the Archmage's ward up from 5++ to 3++ if you can get 2 spells through a turn. If you prioritise casting the lower value spells, that should be possible especially with Book of Hoeth! With a 3++ he is not all that easy to kill.

Hi guys, I'm looking forward to reading this report. It sounds like it was an interesting battle and a shame I didn't watch. I am particularly interested to see how you dealt with the Star Dragon, large silver Helm unit and Frostheart Phoenix, Swordmaster, as I was recently on the receiving end of a...

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I made most of the changes, apart from the Ring of Fury as I didn't have enough points left to squeeze it in. I am going to give this list a try this weekend against my brother's Warriors of Chaos. Without Botwd the SHs are obviously quite a bit more vulnerable to ma...

Hi all, I'm looking to try out the below list, following the latest ETC comp pack. To be able to take the SH bus and two frosties (I'm assuming a frosty as ridden monster still counts as 1 choice?) I dropped botwd from the bus. As a result, I've gone for a High Archmage on foot who will go in with t...

So this really is the end for my beloved high elves then?..
