Apparently the solution for Charace was to just make more units of T3 lightly armored strikes last elves that really need to charge to be able to do anything according to GW. At least the core version can have a single unit with scout and war bows. S4 AP0 shooting. Yay. Merwyn aura only affects mode...

Ugh, the community. This is infuriating. Yeah, I could see how the "Models must be in base contact with the enemy to make Impact Hits or Stomp Attacks" part really makes a completely unrelated spell where the models are in base contact hard to adjudicate mentally for them. Especially since...

Ugh, guys Earthen Ramparts doesn't negate impact hits or stomps. -.-

I think in the end of the day one of the most important thing to remember is that in general the army is quite elite (and elitist!) and you're going to pay a lot of points for models that are very easy to kill. It can be a lot of fun though. Enjoy yourself!

The only real thing I see that could affect dragons would be having to include your wheels into your charge distance and not being able to stomp over real linear obstacles. Unless folks were really into that silly, bonus armor adds to regen/ward saves thing that they clarified.

Looks like a lot of nice, simple clean up of things. Lore familiar's can't get the racial signature spells at all. A nice clarification for mercenaries which should be fun for the new Empire character. The main HE entry for forces of fantasy is only: Q: Does the Martial Prowess special rule allow mo...

Yes, happy holidays everyone!

Was he always a two piece model?

I don't know what they've been packaged like, but I definitly remember a lot of old reprints for other armies including a non trivial amount of old reprints for limited times.

I don't want folks to be disappoined if it doesn't live up to thier expectations.

I'm sure they're going to reprint all the old models. Doesn't mean they're getting rules. Don't get too excited.

It's all on page 203 of the character section. Your general should be the highest leadership character it can be. So you couldn't choose normally to have a Handmaiden be your general with a Noble in your army. However there are exceptions as a character with Loner and (normally) a Battle Standard Be...

I think if you're going to make a loremaster for combat you'd be much better served using Battle Magic for its signature spell Hammerhand. A level 1 mage actually has a decend chance to get that spell off barring dispels.

Hmmm, well if you're going to have good targets to shoot the tousand papercuts route might be interesting. Elves have usually been too brittle to death star particularly well but I'd be interested to see how this goes.

The Old World reminds me personally of sixth edition the most for high elves, where our infantry was expensive and elite but without step up or strikes first it was very easy to get charged and lose models so the meta became very noncannon calvery lists which we were punish for by losing core access...

I believe a popular thing to do is to give your prince The White Sword so they can roam around with four I9 monster slayer attacks.

Has the Everqueen of the era been to the Old World? I don't even know which one ot is in this year.

I haven't read them all but I don't think they've revised previously stated units in them before. Doesn't mean they couldn't of course, but I think white lions are just the odd one out until a new edition. Csjarrat - I don't think that solves their problem. It's the defense side that they're lacking...

Well you have your comp rules for your tournies. Glad to see them moving away from that rule of three trash for the next official one. Lord limits seem like a good way to encourage points to go elsewhere on paper.

It's always like this. We've got the same three units and ones very suited to the current rules, one's okay and one ends up overointed for how the game works for the moment and isn't worth taking over the other two. White Lions are a very glass cannon unit suitable for fighting infantry which isn't ...

I'd like to see a naval themed Army of Renown to represent the naval forces that would be in the area at the time would be the main thing I'd like to see. Some kind of high elf mage mercenary might be fun to see. I would personally want to keep Tyrion and Teclis out of it. They don't make any sense ...

Yeah, happy to help. I've seen this kind of discussion before. Not surprised that tournaments get the rules wrong or make bad decisions, they're run by people making mistakes like anyone else can. It's seriously just the most boring, basic definition of moved, but in other games there are other rule...

So, it's if it moved. There are no placed rules like in 40k. It's already got an FAQ clarification too. Movement Q: What constitutes a ‘move’? A: Quite simply, if you touch a model or unit and change its position in any way, it has moved. There are some exceptions to this, a war machine that pivots ...

I personally like the lore, the spells seem to be very useful for helping high elves out. Everything except the flaming sword seems useful. Plague of Rust and Earthen Ramparts really seem useful for making our units get the initiative or get our damage through. That said while it's great to get your...

Yeah, he's pretty cool. I wish I knew WTF his sword went though. I took it off to paint it and now it's MIA.

Unbreakable is very good but if you look at most of the lists people are running these days they don't have a unit to cast it on.

This is an unusual post...

They've been T3 for so long now through so many editions. The new rules for mounts help out a lot with having some higher toughness heroes though.

Well if you're just asking for thoughts...You should give them a name.

Heroes in all our armies deserve names, unit champions that perform should earn names too. It makes the game more fun in my experience. It gives your heroes a bit more personality and makes thier wins and losses more memorable.

In my mind the only real choices for a warrior/wizard pair of characters to be in the Old World would be Finubar and Belannaer. They'd both need to be new models though. They're the ones who actually went over there and interacted with multiple groups in it. So many other options are tied up in civi...

Yeah, from the FAQ it seems like the intent is that the ghost in hat is the wizard. Probably fairest to just treat it like a basic level 1 wizard that shares a base with the wearer of the hat and not try to use it for wierd purposes.
