Ulthuan

Mine is from Yvresse, led by the archmage Illyria.

Thank you for your kind replies, and sorry about the lack of activity for my part. My interest in warhammer reached low point in November and I haven't even been thinking about it since then. Now the interest seems to be slowly returning again so perhaps I'll post some new painted models relatively ...

The one on the dragon's head is the biggest one yes.

They don't save from magical effects, but they do work against wounds caused by magic. Unless otherwise is stated.

I tend to stick my characters in the same units in every game. But I'm flexible and will of course move them if the situation demands it. The list itself is designed to have the characters in rather specific units. My Archmage starts in a unit of 14 Sea Guard. Since she uses Lore of Shadows her spel...

I used to run a 18 strong swordmaster unit in the first 2 years after our 7th ed book. The psychological impact that unit had was considerable, and fun - for me.

Here is the one I use for my White Lions



Check out my paint log for more movement trays, and minis

I use the 14 with FC that I've painted as a LSG bunker for my archmage, and it works great. I will expand them to 19 when I get around to paint some more of them.

Or you could give him the amulet of light for the magical attacks and keep the high strength and saves.

I'm thinking about running something like this in my 2500 army:

Prince: Sword of Might, Enchanted Shield, Radiant Gem of Hoeth (Death), Talisman of Endurance, Dragon Armour.

I've run a unit of 14 with full command, talisman of loec and banner of sorcery in every game of 8th so far. They are doing great but I think that either 18 or 21 might be better numbers since they don't loose attacks as soon as they loose wounds.

I tend to play offensively, but sometimes I hang back for a couple of turns to do some shooting and magic damage before I engage. But that is only against armies with little or no shooting. Otherwise I try to engage one of the enemy's flanks while I keep the other occupied with distractors. I play 2...

I've finished the BSB now, in just over two days of painting which much be some sort of record for me ;) I am very pleased with him, and I appreciate all your comments! http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae16/Angelos90/DSC00382.jpg?t=1287834758 http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae16/Angelos90/DSC00...

What do you think is a good build for a mage-prince on foot if neither the armour of caledor or the guardian phoenix (those are on the BSB) are available?

Since my list looks like this: Archmage (325): Level 4, Staff of Solidity, Talisman of Preservation, Lore of Shadows Noble (168): Battle Standard, Great Weapon, Armour of Caledor, Guardian Phoenix 10 Archers (110) 23 Spearmen (232): Full Command 14 Maiden (Sea) Guards (207): Full Command, Shields 14...

The chariot got boring to paint, and it isn't that high on the priority list yet (which is to have my current 2000 points list painted). Instead I started work on the BSB, and I'm doing some experiments with the gold on him and I'm pretty pleased with the results so far. He is still very WIP so don'...

Great work, I really like the new SM models.

Best unit ever, but technically not sea guard. Even is I use them as that in every game I play...

Easily the IoB ones, the old metals are okay and the spearmen ones are crappy.

The plastic noble kit has a really big sword and a really big axe, both which are very suitable as great weapons.

Thank you guys, I was originally thinking about ignoring the swords, but I didn't listen to my lazy voice this time. And they look better with the swords than without.

The problem with the dragon mage is that it is a mage, on a dragon. Something you want to avoid unless you are a dark elf or a chaos sorcerer since they are the only armies that can give them adequate protection.

I've been toying with an idea of making something like this for my dragon princes when I buy the new kit. I don't like the huge flag that they come with, so I'm going to do something different. http://iranpoliticsclub.net/flags/images/f005.1%20Parthian%20Azhidahak%20version2%20238BC-224AD.jpg Someth...

Did anyone else notice this part in yesterday's newsletter: Today is article-tastic: head on over to the Astronomican where you'll find a Warhammer FAQ update and a War of the Ring FAQ update. They both contain a host of tweaks and changes, and the first of what will be monthly update s. Also availa...

I have finally finished the six spearmen, so now it is 12 down and 12 to go. However, I'm tired of painting spears at the moment so I will take a break and paint another chariot and a BSB before I go back and finish the unit. http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae16/Angelos90/1.jpg?t=1286981605 http:...

Apparently Games Workshop are releasing a set of plastic LSG this month.

I started out using 2, dropped one and now I'm considering dropping the one I have. The main reasons are their fragility, as described by Bolt Thrower, and their weakened impact on many units. With the new rules I have seen people taking much larger units. Units of 15 became 20, units of 20 became 3...

I like the muted blue colour, much better than the blue that GW splashes all over their HE minis.

You always use the best ward save if you have more than one.

The FAQ makes the tactic of casting Earthblood on the DPs for an unremoveable regeneration save no longer available.

Fantastic work, I really want to start painting my own dragon!

The DP nerf was unnecessary imo, the other ones are meaningless to me.

Some good ones in the RBRB FAQ though clearing up Throne of Vines and Pd generation among other things.
