Re: Old World Almanack – Your First Look at the Rules

It feels like Warhammer. I like it. Yes, it's a different edition of warhammer, but it's familiar enough to feel like what the game is supposed to be. It's hard to say anything specific about the rules, since a lot depends on how stuff interacts and the small details everywhere. But I think it will ...

Re: (Almost) first step in 9th age.

I like it, but at this point I like WAP better and that is played mostly in my meta. That's a good combination :) It does sound like you have a fun skirmish. Do you think the hero characters too strong? Given that you needed 3 6's followed by 3 1's to deal with him... It might be more an issue at t...

Re: Warhammer Armies Project: a search for experience.

1)A small battle against Skaven. It was the first in a small campaign: the Skaven had to storm a building. 500 points, My White Lions were easily destroyed defending the outer wall, but my Warriors held the building. I can imagine Skaven have a hard time getting other units from buildings. They lac...

Re: Elendor's Host of the White Tower

Nice going! You've been busy. I like the SM. The transparent blue gives them a lovely magical feel. For eyes, I go with all white and then a vertical black stripe in the center. You do need a good brush with a thin tip though. I think that's the most important thing to getting them right. Older, bea...

The Hydra is a lovely model (where is it from?). And the paint scheme absolutely makes it stand out. Both it and the cauldron will be an amazing centerpiece for any army.

Re: A new painting blog - NEW OK Army project started

There is something about Ogres that screams "Striped Pants!" :D I like it. It creates both distinctive units and a coherent army.

The whole is progressing nicely. It's already better than some painted armies out there.

We can do that, no problem. The more elves the merrier. You want me to create a specific Wood Elf home somewhere on the forum? Or just adjust the description of several of the forum?

Re: Split Profiles and Always Strikes First

I agree with SA's interpretation here. The rules for flaming say that upon taking a wound, the unit loses regen. It doesn't specify that the wound needs to be dealt to a part of the unit that has regen. Combined units are still units, and though they don't share (most) special rules, that doesn't ma...

Re: High Elves and Zenithal airbrushing

I've dabbled around with this a bit. And it does work. Also, I think it would be about as much work as priming grey, with better results. My process is to prime in a clear primer using my airbrush. This alone has probably saved me enough money in spray paint primer to pay for the airbrush. Reason I ...

Love the autumn theme for the Wood Elves. It just works so well on them. That's the downside that comes with spending time painting.

As hinted at here , I've recently had a 2400 pts game vs skaven. I didn't have a lot of time to prepare, and I hadn't played in ages, so I brought a list I'd made a long time ago, and one I've already used in the past. I decided to go for fun and whacky rather than the strongest list out there, whic...

Re: Crossing Swords

I think you're in a good spot. Or at least, as good as spot as you could be. The loss of the Skillcannon hurts. But with killing the SH's you've removed a great shock-troop. And with tying up the PG, you've effectively taken the two monsters out of the game for a turn as well. They're great, but run...

It's an interesting list for sure. It's a typical MSU type list, without any clear targets. The double lvl2 metal mages are unusual. I'm not sure they're worth it. Somehow the lore always feels a bit "Meh" to me. Too many spells in there that are situational. Then again, in this list, magi...

People are stuck with core and can take redirectors from there if they need. I'm coming round to this way of thinking. I think reavers are worth it because they are core.
