Re: Favourite BSB builds?

I haven't gotten all my stuff together yet still, but I could see worrying about something like that. From my years of playing Warhammer Fantasy I just kind of accept all our elves die very quickly so I don't worry about it that much. :)

Re: Favourite BSB builds?

I am still looking at them as ways to buff troops they're inside of so one with a rasor standard for my seaguard or a battle banner for a big static combat rez troop block, etc.

Has anyone seen any current banners or transfers out there now with the Old World? I'm not going to pretend I can freehand some heraldry for these smaller banners.

Re: Warden of Saphery

Can you wear magical armor with a wizard? No, probably not. I don't even know how that would work. Your wizard might be able to wear the magical armor though!

Re: A Look at High Elf Rules in The Old World

The rule for charging skirmishes on page 186 says they have to charge the closest visible model..there you go for that one. I'm assuming you're talking about an open/close order unit charging a unit of skirmishers of course. Hot skirmisher on skirmisher action doesn't care about visibility per model...

I was curious if they were actually still tethering it to bookface. XD They've got some kind of idea. Some of it seems odd.

Re: Dragon books

Oh it's Star Wars people claim Eragon is a rip of off? That's hilarious!

Star Wars is heavily inspired by Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress, mixed with old Flash Gordon serials. :lol:

It's all heroes journey stuff which is even older of course.

Actually there's an explicit rule for the Battle Standard Bearer on page 203 of the Big Blue Book that the BSB can't be your general, so it'd default to the Archmage.

The only thing that doesn't shoot in this army is either a bird or a horse. Roughly 73 shooting attacks, several with higher strength, many with some amo...

I apparently picked Charace by virtue of the colors I picked, but I put the Saphery symbols on my shields? But we're from a outpost really so I'm sure that's a big part of it. We're using what we've got in these trying times here in the Old World!

Re: A Look at High Elf Rules in The Old World

I would like to say that the idea that you cast a spell and then run your mage away to prevent dispel attempts is both cowardly and very unsporting. Remember this isn't 40k or Magic the Gathering. You should be enjoying a game with others, even in a tournament environment, and not be trying to win a...

Re: All cavalry army ?

It was at one time in WHFB one of the most competitive ways to run High Elves, which was what lead to them getting some silly army rules in newer editions. Now in the Old World it's less needed but it's still completely viable. Throw in some chariots too and you've got quite a fun, aggressive army t...

Re: A Look at High Elf Rules in The Old World

So the movement for falling back in good order is effectively fleeing which can cause a lot of trouble. Plus restraining from pursuit or following up is a leadership check so it's not something that one can always do. There's a lot of scenarios where doing one or the other is the better option. Yes,...

Oh, it's for challenges you have to be in the fighting rank or adjacent. So you'd have already moved the character.
