If you can get their level 4 into combat, then your level 2s utility goes up a lot. Suddenly, they can no longer dispel and it's great.

I'm theorizing with a 6 battle magic mage list at 2k points right now. It'll probably do horribly, but it's fun to consider.

I recently a game with this 2+/5+/5+ prince layout and I loved it. I took on a kitted out Bretonians Duke. It was slow going through as the Duke as a 2+ (rerolllable) / 5+ with the occasional extra 5+. Sometimes when the prince failed to wound, the lion charioteers would step up and do damage. This ...

I know it's clearly stated, but it didn't click until now. This went from being mid tier to bottom tier to me. It is very situational

Can shield of Saphery be cast into combat? I used to think it could but because I just assumed it could because the target is a friendly unit. (8th edition). But I'm started to to think I'm wrong 1) you can cast spells (enchantments) into combat unless his spell says you can. there are caveats that ...

How has this list fared? I noticed that you had the arcane familiar which lets you choose from two different lores. Which two lores do you have in mind?

When you have 20 sisters, what formation do you put them in? 10x2 open order? Skirmisher?

How did your list turn out? What did you like about it and what would you have done differently?

I said this in the other thread about the FAQ and my sentiment still holds: --- I'm imagining that someone out there tried to argue that you could cast a non-self conveyance spell on the turn you charged because you are not technically in combat e.g. combat hasn't started. GW responded with this. Ma...

Can the Dragon Princes use drilled on a counter charge? Drilled says "before moving"

"Q: Can models in the rear ranks of a unit shoot at a Large Target? A: Yes. As stated on page 172, a model can draw a line of sight to a Large Target over or through other models." Much more shooting to aim at the Big Character On Bigger Monster - I'll be honest this makes me more nervous...

Nice list overall. With only 1 block, it may fold quickly in heavy combat, but the two monsters help on that front. Here are some thoughts. Archmage [495 pts] (Hand weapon, General, Star Dragon, Lore Familiar, Seed of Rebirth, Pure of Heart, High Magic) Was ok but being L3 meant there were one or tw...

They way that I have read it is that both Fall Back in Good Order and Give Ground are continuation of combat. This means that my high elves do not get the additional +1 initiative. It also means that challenges continue and new ones can't be started if that challenge ended.

Would it be possible to create a sub-forum, similar to Army lists, for battle reports? I think that would be a good addition to the website and The Old World. I enjoy coming to these forums. Thanks for keeping it alive!

I don't know if anyone else saw a different Ulthuan.net yesterday, but I did. The Old World category was at the top and I thought that was neat. at the very bottom you can see a list of all the active topics which was nice except for the fact that all of the pinned topics were old and preceded any a...

What are you thoughts on this list? The idea is to put the high elf Mage in the swordmasters and the Battle Magic mage in the Phoenix Guard. The high magic mage's goal is to be a combat Mage. put walk between worlds on the swordmasters and get them in combat. Then it can cast 2 assailment spells. Th...

Jedra brings up a good point. But in the case of having one or two 1x5 archer darts, it's not going to be game defining and I wouldn't get upset with an opponent if they brought those. If you want an FAQ on it, I'd urge you to submit an email to the FAQ account asking if this is intended, otherwise...

The exact wording is "This special rule allows half of the models in each rank other thank the front rank (or front to ranks if the unit is on a hill) to fire over the heads of those in front" I will grant that it is poorly wording making it ambiguous is if is: 1) Half of (all of the mode...

A 1x5 Archer dart has the benefit of being able to shoot five shots into the enemy (pending range). So, If you need to change from a disruptor to a shooting unit you can do it without reforming

Do the lodestones MR stack with the Swordmaster's MR?

Jedra wrote: ↑Sun Jun 09, 2024 9:00 am The enemy will now give ground (moves 2 inches), fallback in good order (moves d6 inches) or flee. Maybe you pursue a fleeing unit, but in the other two cases you should restrain and reform.

I didn't realize before now that you could test to restrain if they gave ground

Monster Slayer is worth watching out for, so i'd recommend taking Opal Amulet on both Dragons, maybe two if you're really worried about it. Enjoy! Opal Amulet is a great idea! I completely forgot about this item. I played with illusion magic last night and the small range is really prohibitive. I h...

I regularly play against A Bretonian opponent and I struggle with three main things 1. Pegasus Knights 2. Grail Knights 3. Lord On Royal Pegasus The Pegasus Knights are difficult because they have furious char. If I charge them they get a counter charge and furious charge procs and additional attack...

I just countercharged my dragon princes into Grail Knights and got destroyed. I did one wound and they killed the entire unit.

On the other hand, DP's reroll 1's to hit

this is only on turns in which they do not use their Lance correct? That's how I've been playing it.

I've been pretty impressed with the Phoenix Guard that I've taken in two 1500 point games. Attacking in two ranks in all directions is fabulous. I've have some interesting thoughts on how to use them and I wanted to throw them here to get some feedback. Given a unit of 20 Phoenix Guard, put them in ...

Ah, good call! I'm away from my book on holiday and so want sure the exact ruling

optionally you could use a level 1 and put a dispell scroll on them. I don't think there is a range requirement for the scroll.

It was really nice to have drilled clarified. A couple of ones stood out to me ‘Whilst in Combat Order, a Close Order formation with a Unit Strength of 5 or more may claim a bonus of +1 combat result point (see page 151).’ This may be more important when fighting other units then when fighting with ...

I think that Ithilmar Armour is worded that way for the Loremaster Elven Honor. That way you give your prince the ability to be a wizard AND wear armor.

I have no idea who made this (besides the name), but there's a Google drive link to printable cards done in the magic the gathering format. It seems really nice and so I thought I throw it out there. https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1mUNG4iSZB1-bZlcAMtjXSQrkGW13hcCC?fbclid=IwAR1WIFmQZS9...

A rules question: If I have swordmasters 10 wide and one deep and I fight a block of enemy five wide and two deep My entire 10 swordmasters get to hit against the block. however what if a second enemy unit joins the fray? How do I divide my swordmaster attacks between these two units. Do the swordma...
