I'm going to try out a unit of 30 with Razor Standard, Loremaster's Cloak and that's it. Use them as an elven shield for my other units. Your stand-and-shoot volley dreams will work great against monsters. Anything else I really don't know. It feels like a method of playing that needs poison shots a...

Hi Pash, Top list! I'm just building a Sun Dragon war banner BSB at the moment... nobles on dragons is the high elfiest thing ever. I think the top secret technology is having pieces which don't get ground under the wheels of skull cannons, daemon engines and steam tanks, which for me is the big pro...

My man! Sir! I'm on holiday at the moment and spending it writing new armies following GW's assault on my Walk Between Worlds cavbus uber-cheese. You know what, I'm not even upset. Running people over with ghost knights is an easy way to kill everyone's hobby. Well I hope the holiday was good. I im...

The more and more I am playing this game I have noticed I am never using any spells from the lore of Saphery. There have been times I've been close to swapping out for Vaul's Unmaking which I think is the best of the three, but 12 inch range makes it extremely situational and therefore I don't both...

It seems like you're correct, though it feels like it shouldn't work... What I mean is that from the wording of assailments, it counts as an attack by the caster. It's made at the Initiative of the caster, ignoring any special rules from any weapons a character carries (which sort of makes sense, s...

Althran hail! Dude if the amount of focus you’ve piled into these models is in anyway indicative of the stress levels you encounter at work then must be one stressed worker. They’re absolutely outstanding. Beautiful work - thanks for sharing! I feel your pain with that dwarf game. Take solace from t...

Man you painted that boat up quickly. The army looks great. Good luck!

Interesting lists for sure. I like Warden of Saphery as an honour. The Sword of Hoeth, and Killing Blow special rules are wonderful for the price. I don't rate the Reaver Bow on a prince at all though (or on any other character really). The problem is that a Prince doesn't have the Arrows of Isha s...

I had a match recently against a Bretonnian list where we had agreed we wouldn't bring any dragons to the fight, and so I fell back on the wisdom of the Cavalry Prince of 8th edition, and I wanted to report to you that it performed really well. Literally one data sample, but it was a good time. I e...

I'm conservative so I hug the 2+ armour save close. You're right that the great weapon brings better utility. In most tournament lists I've seen that's what people take. I don't have the game experience to look past TWO UP SAVE TWO UP SAVE and the fact that the model has a lance, but absent counter-...

Printed and managed to paint 10 of my sea guard boys. I am so exited to put all of these models on the field. Hopefully by the end of the month I will be able to play a 1k game. https://images2.imgbox.com/c8/5b/41ckQbQH_o.jpg Hope you guys like them! Teutli these are brilliant models. You've nailed...

Hi Pash, Thank you for your very interesting write up(s). Since GW nerfed Walk Between Worlds (no longer castable in combat), I've switched to Illusion and essentially gone back to the drawing board on my army design. I've found myself struggling to find competitive options outside of dragons and c...

Tyrren, What a magnificent collection! You are my hobby hero. Beautiful. Also thank you for the battle report. I've yet to try a game that size but it reminds me of the floorhammer games of my youth: so much excitement descending over 8 hours into headache-inducing suffering. I hear lots of people o...

Here's my working draft 2,500 point list, FYI. Subject now to the Endless Tweaking phase... ++ Characters [1028 pts] ++ Prince [248 pts] - Hand weapon - Full plate armour - Shield - General - On foot - Reaver Bow - Bedazzling Helm - Warden of Saphery Archmage [318 pts] - Hand weapon - Level 4 Wizard...

That's an interesting idea NHB thanks for noting it. It makes sense. In my last game against SpellArcher's daemons I used MSU sisters as last-minute chaff. Now that mini foot squads can march miles, it's a strong idea! I'm getting pretty close to finishing my army, so I'll try the reavers first. Be...

Welcome back buddy! I hope everything's going alright and we can get a game in soon. If you're stuck for a while in rebasing hell, I can offer movement trays with Oldhammer-sized base slots in them. Mountain Miniatures sells them. Clever. Thanks dude! Yes, a game soon would be awesome. What's movin...

You're on! I have all the models to make this army. SA and I were talking about getting a game in so this would be a good opportunity whilst he paints up his new army. The delay is now on me: I need to finish up my Seaguard unit! After several RL months of doom I finally have most of the bases I ne...

Apparently some shenanigans have been had with "Archer Darts" in some games. 5 naked Archers deployed in 2-2-1 @50pts, moving an impressive 15" on T1 You could swap one of the ERs to two Darts and have 5pts spare.... (and another drop) That's an interesting idea NHB thanks for noting...

. The Seaguard are my second secret tech in this ranged war. Whilst the sisters dance at range, the seaguard move up into the mid-board. If my opponent ignores them in favour of chasing after the sisters, they bring themselves into the seaguard's close range. If they shoot the seaguard, however, su...

Example of list for 1500point? Hi WhiteSword, In truth I haven't thought about 1500 at all. If I may I'll restrict myself to reiterating a general principle, being that it is usually better to do something well or else not bother investing in it. You don't want a "bit of everything" only ...

Hey Seredain, one topic I mentioned, you missed commenting on I think - or maybe I am just blind going up to the weekend: The only thing that's left is Magic. So: Loremasters Cloak instead of Ruby Ring? or are the avg. 7 hits S4 hits/turn too juicy to pass up? or Ruby Ring +1 Lodestone? There are s...

You pose a great question. I mean Holy Cow! The rubber really hits the road with that army of yours. For the moment it's a purely theoretical army 8) I drew it up as a thought experiment to see what you could face at 2500pts. Mainly because people mentioned that going higher in points meant fewer m...

One thing I have been wondering about in the discussion about 2500pts, is that it also allows some nasty stuff to be brought along. You could go with a double star dragon list that includes 4 monsters and a bunch of hard hitting cavalry units. Something like ++ Characters [1247 pts] ++ Prince [491 ...

Thanks for the replay, Seredain. My biggest fear with the first list was not participating in the shooting phase much at all. I worry about softening up larger targets a bit before engaging and am hopeful the bolt throwers and sisters can help with that. I am sad about dropping the swordmasters in ...

I for one would be happy for my ogres to be pounded by your superior tactical skills, were we to meet on the battlefield. It would be both fun (despite the pounding) and instructive for me. Alas, very unlikely to happen given the distance. Kind of you to say my man! No tactics any more though. Just...

Giladis I’m so glad to hear it, it’s great news!

Thanks. I’d better get this army finished.

On page 209 of the rulebook, under "Characters In Combat" it is written that "In combat, a character that has joined a unit... Can only have Impact Hits or Stomp Attacks directed against them if there are fewer than five rank and file models in the unit." I've then read through ...

Master,

I am loving your paintwork. It's absolutely splendid.

Ogres had a bit of a hoodoo on me in 8th Ed. Enough that I began to develop an irrational dislike for the models. But these are so nice that I don't even think I'd mind watching them pound my silver helms to bits.

Bravo!
