Re: Favourite BSB builds?

Great weapon, full plate, Banner of Arcane Protection or Battle Banner, Seed of Rebirth, Talisman of Protection, Pure of Heart. I embed them in my Phoenix Guard to make them an absolute anvil. I'm still not sure which banner I like on the BSB, and which one I like in the Phoenix Guard, but I take bo...

Re: Ulthuan Rallies for War

Finished an entry into the WHFB Discord's Little Waaaaagh! competition and forgot to post it here! Time to go back into hibernation again until I muster the energy to paint ten more Sea Guard, a Skycutter and maybe another dragon with magnetized Dragon Mage, Archmage, and Prince (hoping to model him...

Re: Silver Helms Discussion

Since my primary anvil unit is Phoenix Guard, Silver Helms are great for filling out core. In smaller point games, I like them in 5 model units, with the intention that they'll support combats by charging into flanks to disrupt and generate combat resolution. But in bigger point games, and if you in...

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

Completely agree with you there on a RAI level and this is what is currently played in our group. But wouldn't it be wonderful if GW did not leave so much open to our interpretation? Though after so many years of playing their games, what did I expect? :roll: You're not wrong. I went back to read t...

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

This makes sense, even though the example image is not very helpful in that two models seem more or less equally distant to the charger. But if we assume the above to be as intended and the distance not being related to the charge distance, can't you create impossible charges with skirmishers? E.g....

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

The rules state you "move directly towards the closest model in the unit of skirmishers" and "as directly as possible into contact with the closest visible model in the target unit" both on pg.186. In General Principles on pg.92, Directly Towards is defined as moving to or from t...

But to think it's actually well informed in any way is kidding yourself. If you like it, great I'm gl...

The more games I get in, the more I think building lists like we did in 7th, with bare minimum core and focusing on our Special and Rare choices, is what's going to get us wins. And fo...

Re: Characters moving inside units?

Page 209 refers you back to page 146 in regards to how they attack, which states that models not in base to base contact can only make one attack. So characters would also only get one attack.

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 ...

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

What happened with your phoenix guard I find kind of concerning tbh. Combat now seems incredibly grindy, because of how break tests work it's near impossible to make a decisive blow in 6 turns, unless you can somehow reduce enemy leadership significantly, or maybe just use some deathstar type unit ...

I need to test them but they seem decent and cheapish, a fairly reliable unit at taking a charge with spearwall, and as mentioned before courage of aenarion is a possibility. I'm not sure about their formation, is 7x3 worth it over 5x4? In my earlier builds a...

Moving Through The Ranks (pg.208) would allow a character to move to a rear or flank fighting rank as required to take part in a challenge. That’s right, that’s the point I made in my 4th paragraph.
