I like the overall changes you've made and admire your effort. However there are some things, which seems a little off. Maybe you could do a writeup on your overall thoughts on the changes. Because some of the changes really sticks out, and it could be nice to hear your reasoning behind it. Some of ...

Hi Vespacian, I really like your army. It has great mobility, hits hard and multiple threats. I especially like your inclusion of the phoenix guards. Very very underrated unit IMO. Now I don't think it is a good idea to swap lore to life instead of high magic. Obviously, lifebloom is amazing when yo...

Very interesting stuff and thanks for the reports! I share your enthusiasm for playing an all comers list that can contribute in every phase of the game. Also I consider HE to be one of the few races, that can actually make a competitive balanced list. It seems that many other races need to field he...

I can think of one spell in high magic that will do just that

If you have a cannon you can snipe out things that have a different unit type inside another unit, since they will not get their look out sir. That is the general rule for things that shoots with templates (a cannon also shoots with a template). However our bolt throwers do not use a template, becau...

Hey SM, I completely both agree and sympathize with you on the whole subject of where Warhammer is going at the moment. My area fields a lot of decent and competitive players, who mostly play ETC or even heavier comp. I also consider myself to be a competitive player and my favorite system is ETC fo...

He can stand and shoot with it, I'd say. Because the army books always overrule the rulebook when it comes to special rules. Imo it is just written very poorly and I think the reason why they wrote "The moonbow is a Bolt thrower" was because they wanted to make it easy, however they should...

What kind of line of sight rules, are they using? Because if it is true line of sight, I don't think the star dragon is the way to go, since there is just nowhere to hide it. Other then that I like your list. I think it has enough shooting to draw out most opponents, and the star dragon makes for an...

Okay, thank you very much guys for you answers. I know it probably have been discussed before, but I just couldn't find the right thread.

Hi there, There is a unit of 9 knights with a character and a bolt thrower has a flank shot: ----C Bolt thrower ----- Now the single shot will hit the second rank and pierce through that. But wat if there is 4 rank and file and a character like this: ----C Bolt thrower. Will I then hit the character...

Hmm, both HE lists I've seen so far does not have the banner of the world dragon

I think I would also give it to the high elves here. There is nothing that can reliably handle the star dragon nor the frostheart in the OnG army. Btw people just started to put up their lists for the ETC warm up tournament: http://www.powerfist.dk/forum/index.php?topic=87260.0 There is definitely s...

We also got ETC warmup here in Denmark. Very manageable trip I'd say :wink: . I too am looking forward to see what you came up with for ETC. I really feel like I've tested that system a lot, so it will be interesting to see your take on it. However my lists tend not to be as skewed as many other ETC...

While I really like the proposed changes, I don't think this will happen. It looks more like a wish list from experienced players and since GW is not really known for their abilities to actually listen to the people you play their game, I'm a bit pessimistic

Hi Centesombra and welcome! Your list looks very interesting, especially with the annointed on a flamespyre. I've been playing many lists that looks like this one, however I've never used lore of death. What are your thoughts about that particular lore in this list? I don't think dark elves and wood...

What are your thoughts on your choice of core? I think I would make the group of archers bigger (making hand of glory a bigger threat), while dropping one group of reavers. Besides, what are their purpose in this list anyway? I would also consider dropping some more lions and find the points for the...

Thanks for the reports SA - very interesting. About the enchanted arrows: On paper there are many situations where hagbane are better, however when played, I'm always amazed of the trueflight arrows. wood elves are really popular in my area, so I play them a lot. I think you underestimate the abilit...

@sparkytrypod
No their arrows are not magical. However their catapults are.

I sorta see the magic but shooting really? They have shades, we have nothing to compare. Also warlocks are kings at running at rbts and killing them, same save as helms, multi attack and fast cav. I don't see that many shades, beside the big shade star list, which I don't consider that strong. Othe...

It is of course hard to know, when we haven't seen the actual games, but how the DE player manage to get a 20-0 against that dwarf list, is completely beyond me. @Curu Actually I don't find DE to be a hard matchup in ETC for HE. In a world where no really fight that much, their advantage in close co...

Sure for characters it is a big deal and also troops with high armour save. I was just more thinking about our troops in general. All our elite infantry doesn't really care if they have killing blow or not. So the things that do care about their killing blow, will simply just avoid them due to their...

With s6 killing blow is not that big of a deal I think. When I think about how quick my 25 archers die, I find it remarkable that this unit is in one of the more successful builds. They don't even have any magic resistance in this list. But as you say SA, he got so many other things in that list, th...

Thanks for the writeup Ian. It was very interesting to read. I'm surprised by the dark elf list, that came in second. 29 executioners is rarely seen in ETC. They have the same protection as swordmasters, which is next to nothing. But I guess the other elements in his list could draw a lot of fire. C...

Any particular reason for not taking banner of the world dragon on the white lions? They are super fragile without in my opinion.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Liam will auto loose blood and glory with that list. At any point during the game, you can't have all your fortitude in one unit - you would then be considered broken. Very much looking forward to see the results of the list. I predict the light councils to do ve...

Maybe I'm a bit biased on this one, but in general I don't really like lore of life. Sure flesh to stone is an awesome spell, but what else is there really that your list needs? Phoenix guards does not need more defensive buffs as 4+ ward is already rock solid. However they need something to make th...

Looking at both your armylists I would definitely have put my money on the ogres. All those leadbelchers and 2 cannons are just not good for your army.

So a 10-10 is a really good result in my book at least. Congratulations on what I would consider a great result.
How do you feel about it yourself?

Hi! Can you maybe tell us a bit about the meta you are in? Are you playing with a special set of restrictions, or is just Warhammer straight from the rulebook? Are you just playing with friends, or I are planning on going to highly competitive tournaments and so on. As for your list right now, I wou...

Wow that is amazing .
Very original! I really hope you get that spell of during the tournament

Hmm it actually says that you can decide just before deployment whether the dude with the wayshard give his ambusher ability to a friendly unit or not. That is pretty good, I would say. First of all I never bring anything else from our core that is on foot other then archers. They fight (almost) as ...
