Re: Arcane Journal Leaks
I'm disappointed in the Sea Guard army list. It's really let down by the army composition rules. The limited choices make it very hard to make a viable or fun army out of it. I also don't see the point of ship's company. They're either worse and more expensive spears or worse but slightly cheaper ar...

Re: Balance Update
I don't mind so much, but then I play a lot more fluff games. I do agree that magic this edition tends to be take a lvl4 or nothing. 2 lvl2 mages simply don't have the same impact. You'll get some spells cast, but not many. I would personally keep the current % system, except that I would decrease t...

Re: 2k Order of the Loremaster List
having a bad WS is one thing, but I dont understand, why he cant take magical armour, even though he gets a Sword of Hoeth. Is that a bug in the armybuilder I use or is this intended? I mean Warden of Saphery gives the ithilmar armor-rule, that explicitly says that the mage can wear armour. I guess...

Re: Official Preview of High Elves has dropped
HE first got the option to take a GE in 5th edition, but I can't see any images of this sculpt in the 5th ed. book. So I'm guessing 6th edition. Wasn't in 6th either, and there was no Eagle release alongside the book in 7th or 8th. The only release candidate to me would then be Wood Elves in 6th, t...

Today I was making a preorder through my provider and an interesting thing came up. Reavers, Charcian Noble and the Handmaiden were not in the order list provided to them.

Re: Official Preview of High Elves has dropped
Weird that they're releasing a seaguard army but you can't buy either seaguard or their flying chariot? Technically, the spearmen set in the battalion they're releasing can be turned into LSG. The sprues contain quivers and bows (at least, the old spearman box did, and I doubt they bothered changin...

Re: Balance Update
To be honest, the game is fine, even infantry, as long as your opponent also brings these sub-par choices. Very much this. If you play the same game as your opponent, then the game works. Balance is very much an issue though if you play a random opponent or if you start the game with a different pe...

First game of the year, had a 1500 point teaching game with a player who hadn't played since 8th edition back in 2014. It was super friendly, plenty of take backs and going back to missed interactions to get him accustomed to the changes from 8th. I tried to make fun engagements happen for him but ...

Re: Balance Update
It might not even need percentages, just limiting lists equally to one lord level character below 2001 points and then scale from there would already help. Suddenly you have to decide between fighty lord on large monster and L4 mages. We can compromise though with Archmages on dragons :D This would...

Re: Arcane Journal Leaks
I feel PG were also one of the quicker elf units as well back then. They were indeed. They were I6, which meant they got their reroll against all regular units in the game, except ASF ones, and even against most characters. Only some special characters, and a bunch of characters from the faster arm...

Re: Arcane Journal Leaks
In 7th edition, HE were the list that started the power creep. When we came out, HE were the strongest army out there. Of course, that didn't last long when we were followed by DE, but for a short period of time, we ran over everyone. It's what a lot of people remember. 7th ed. Banner of the World D...

Re: Balance Update
25% as a limit makes sense to me as a balancing mechanism. It creates a more natural limit on big monsters in smaller games. I think for many people facing a fully tooled up Star Dragon at 1500 pts, or even an almost fully tooled up one at 1000 pts is just no fun. Or at least, no fun if you're not e...

Re: Arcane Journal Leaks
The easy counterpoint to all that though is that tournament results are by no means showing HE to be a weak army. We're not OP by any means, but on average, we perform close to the top. Mainly getting beaten by Brets and TK. Though I'd love for more stuff to be amazing, we're fine in terms of powerl...

Re: Arcane Journal Leaks
This is an old book, the Monstrous Arcanum, released in 8th Ed but it is likely similar stats to the final product. Again, not gospel. Indeed. It's the Storm of Magic supplement book that came out towards the end of 8th edition. Unless they were really cheap and just copied the exact page from that...

Re: Rules you’d like to see changed/tweaked
Make you choose either regen or ward save, not both. if You do this, u will revert to editions with no monsters. Cannons are still crazy accurate. Poison is rampart.

Re: Odd Thoughts
This is my solution to most things as well. I have yet to field a Dragon this edition. I just bring stuff that looks fun without being overpowered, which lets me field infantry units (since they'll be up against other infantry units). Though even in that setting I have trouble justifying White Lion...

Re: Arcane Journal Leaks
They look credible enough. The Sea Guard list sounds fun, though perhaps not overpowered. But Core Shadow Warriors would be amazing, and possibly a bit overpowered. The problem with SW (compared to Sisters), is indeed the arrows of Isha special rule. +1AP and +1 AB makes them so much more deadly. Th...

Re: Rules you’d like to see changed/tweaked
Without changing ridden monsters in some way, giving infantry more oomph against them doesn't do all that much, unless it's a lot more damage output. I think someone calculated once that a unit of White Lions would need something like 120 attacks to kill a fully tooled up Stardragon Prince. And that...

Re: Arcane Journal Leaks
Cannons and poison don't care about shooting protection and will bypass those rules so I hope they don't cost much! Agreed. Unless it's like a 100pts T3 monster, BS shooting has never been the answer to a monster. With high T, most BS shooting would be useless anyway. And the shooting that does wor...

Re: Odd Thoughts
MSU type lists have always been a bit of an off-meta type of list. They do tend to suffer against lots of small arms fire. The main problem I see with this list is that the small units of SM lose combat effectiveness quickly. Since they now only have 1 attack, killing 2 of them leaves a very weak un...

Welcome! It's not a bad list if you're going for fun. It does something in all phases of the game and doesn't have any of the overpowered choices. After all, Stardragons are great and fun, but they can be hard to deal with if you don't have a list that can handle them. A few observations, I personal...

Re: List building against bretonnians
I'm wondering if this is one of the few situations where RBT might outperform sisters. Even with the higher ward, against T4, 3+ or 2+ Armour save, the high S single shot performs equal to sisters (point for point) if you can get it through 2 ranks of single wound models, and always better if you ta...

I would personally wait with any decisions until the Arcane Journal is out. Too many unknowns for anything definitive.
