you also loose 50pts worth of magic items. thats a lot of defense you're loosing out on. and a wound.
id say a noble would work against little nasiess, but a lord will work better against the big nasties.
if you can expect regen, bring a fire wizard with sword of rhuin. not a guarantee, but it helps.

hopefully this topic isnt so old that replying is a bad idea. if it is. oh well! better than starting a new thread. ive ben playing against a lizardman army that often has 2 to 4 stegadons/ancient stegadons. been having a real problem with them with all of the armies i play, and was trying to not bu...

has anyone gotten a look at the rulebook that comes with it? is it a full set of rules, or more of a quick reference?

The rule book states that wizards have a level of 1 to 4. The 11-12 miscast can reduce your level to 0, taking 1 spell per level lost. Does a level 0 wizard still count as a wizard? He can still know spells if he had more spells than he had levels. but can he cast them? nowhere that i can find speci...

I would like to be able to field archers and not feel they are a waste of points. which they are unless you go super heavy shooting/ magic with coaa. I have never seen a unit or two of 10 do anything worthwhile for their points otherwise. I would like to feel that i have options for my core choices....

I thought of a couple of potential special rules that would make archers better. Due to the high skill of the archers any rolls of 6 to hit are resolved at strength 4 instead of 3. or Due to the high skill of the archers any rolls of 6 automaticly wound. (poison rule, with a more high elvish name/fl...

here's a list i did real quick focusing on terror. might be functional, might not. prince caledor sundragon (for points) lion cuirass star lance (str8 on the charge!) guardian phoenix 485 points swordmage caledor sundragon dispel scroll phoenix armor/shield Lance 385 points 2x10 archers w/champ and ...

is it OTT for the drakes to cause terror? Flying terror bomb for 2 rare slots. combined in a caledorian army you could have 4. the lord, the hero and the 2 for special choices. combined with Pg and the Lion Chariot causing fear it seems that the list could rely heavily on those aspects of psychology...

oh he blew it. he knows the high elves nearly as well as i do. he knows that a ward on a general is necessary due to our magic weapon list. 2 with no as allowed and a kb sword. he's been playing against beasts with another friend of ours who doesn't tend to focus too much on char defense beyond armo...

all of your replies are indeed the standard ways of dealing with vc. and probably work well. I just dislike there only being a couple of ways to deal with a problem. we played the game with the list as written, and he brought nearly what i expected. 1 lord, L3 mounted 1 hero L2 2 heroes L1 some skel...

having put some thought in how to deal with the naturally large vc magic phase and having read many posts on the topic I had a thought. do we spend too many points trying to stop something that can only be slowed, and then not enough? so today i am going to try a build that will focus on the shootin...

throughout 6th ed whenever i rolled a 3 for hits with my ratling guns, if i continued my very next roll was a 3 for a misfire. Every single time. it got to the point that even if my first die was a 3 i stopped. proably played 30+ games and rolled a 3 at least 60 times, and misfired on 50 of them. an...

playing a 2-on-1 v vc and beastmen, neither of which i've played aginst yet. Here's what im thinking. prince on star dragon, star lance, vambraces, dragon armor and shield. archmage l4 steed, silverwand 3 powerstones and a ds noble bsb barded steed lance da, sh, and battle banner l2 mage jewel of du...

if only i had more than one dragon model. my friends are cool with conversions and unfinished models in play, but i think an empty base or three would be pushing it :) i figure with an am or two and 2 lvl 2 casters i should be able to get dm off at least once, maybe twice per turn. no worries about ...

This weekend i will be playing a 2 on 1 against probably beastmen and vc with my high elves. We havent worked out the details yet but i will probably bring 4k to the table and they 2k each. my troup choices are easy as i will be able to bring nearly every painted model i own (leaving home the 40 unp...

I have thought of a new use for swordmasters that i have yet to try, and have read nothing about. So I put this out there for feedback. Swordmasters as cannon fodder. put units of 7 up front and move as fast as possible. This will draw missile fire and magic away from your bigger blocks. If it doesn...
