And of course an extra magic lore.

All WE casters can access the new lore from the 15 point magic item that is extremely common. It’s a small tax, and a small price to pay to get a very powerful Lore!

Kind regards,

Wild hunt mostly uses cavalry, with a couple of exceptions (like wardancers). It buffs some of your units.

Talsyn is an infantry heavy force that mostly aims to grind and ignore Ld penalties

The new character is called Warden of Talsyn. It's one of those "between a hero and a lord" characters. Basically an Eternal Guard hero. The two new units are the beasts (a motley crew unit where you buy the beasts as upgrades, e.g. 0-3 of whatever), and the Guardians of Talsyn, i.e. new ...

Close Order leaked some rules. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVFZwfVaQMg Summary: - Kindreds are back; teased one Killy, wild-rider one, and one tanky one that allows characters on Stags to become T5; - Orion is back, and his feeling was that we'd see a lot of him; - Orion's dogs are Ethereal; - L...

So, the WE AJ: I was expecting worse upon hearing about it, but it's not particularly inspired. I am expecting a lot of whining and complaining. The Talsyn AoI is really bland, and not particularly good from a competitive standpoint either. It's meant to be an infantry/EG centered force. The Orion ...

The other Allies list I'm considering: 313 - Archmage, Blood of Caledor, Barded Elven Steed, Wizard Level 4, Illusion, Full Plate Armour, Ogre Blade, Lore Familiar 193 - Noble, Full Plate Armour, Blood of Caledor, Battle Standard Bearer, War Banner, Barded Elven Steed, Spelleater Axe, Charmed Shield...

From discord, same source: I'm hearing from several sources that Beastmen have been delayed, and now WE are taking the spot we expected BM in. I've heard it described as "switched", but also as "Beastmen didn't come out when they were supposed to, now WE are coming out as planned. WE ...

Hi all -- I'm looking at attending a two-day, "everything goes" kind of tournament later this year. That got me thinking and looking at what the best possible Ally setups might be. In addition to the normal Brett + Horn combos, I noticed this point bracket allows for Korhil on his Chariot,...

Finally, RU Open is in its first round, and there are bunch of HE lists. I'm not sure why it appears each has submitted two lists? First round, but interesting to see: Rozhkov Andrey (Antler) 214 - Archmage, Pure of Heart, Elven Steed, Wizard Level 4, Battle Magic, Silvery Wand 496 - Prince, Shield,...

WTC Open Online is also going on -- currently in round 4. At the end of Round 3, HE Chracian List is 3/97! Beer Hogs - Kyrylo (Algelion) 270 - Archmage, Pure of Heart, Wizard Level 4, Battle Magic, Sigil of Asuryan, Silvery Wand, Ruby Ring of Ruin 532 - Prince, Shield, General, Pure of Heart, Star D...

Now that the AJ has been out for a bit, thought I'd take a look at some of the better performing HE lists GermanComp Open - 2 day 5/33 Prince [399 pts] - Hand weapon - Great weapon - Full plate armour - General - Sun Dragon - Dragon Helm - 2x Opal Amulet - Seed of Rebirth - Blood of Caledor Archmage...

I should have said that the figures include an assumption of a 4+ to hit for both ranged and close combat - realistically on the table that's what you'll be seeing most of the time and it doesn't really change the conclusion if sometimes it's 3+. CTW (chance to wound) is the total ToHit * ToWound *...

So in short: for a T3 5+ target, at about 15 troops with razor standard is basically the same as just spending on more bodies. As soon as you start shooting at tougher targets the razor standard becomes much, much better. And importantly: LSG don't really need a boost against low toughness/armour t...

Pretyon & some other rules: Could be something like the old endless malice (after winning combat, forces panic check to everyone within 10" if it doesn't pursue) and we have a winner 🙂 (but it's 6"). Now, before people start saying "well, that's shit", you gotta realize three...

Looks pretty good --

Only thing I would think about is taking more Sea Guard before adding on Razor Standard. I think the breakeven is something like 24 Sea Guard. Personal preference.

Let us know how you get on!

Kind regards,

herdstone - 100 points - may be deployed anywhere, except in the enemy DZ or within 6" of the centre. - can be controlled by a non fleeing unit of 5 US or more within 6", if two controlling units are within 6" it's contested (no control). - A unit controlling it gains MR1 - if it is ...

There is a chance that tommorow the Besstmen book will be previewed via Youtube. Rumours suggest that the new lore has two vortexes in it, one that gives -1 ld within 6 inches (probably signature) and one that gives -1 bs and some leadership test. Also echantment that gives fight in extra ranks and...

Depends a little bit on if they can take a lvl4 or not. If like the SGG list they're limited to a lvl3 (or lvl2 even), then it's more something to compensate and add a chaotic feel to it. It they can bring a lvl4 and use that, then that could make for a very powerful magic phase. And miscasts aren'...

Army Rule for AJ Beastmen Whenever you attempt to cast or dispel a spell, you receive a +1 to your roll for every wizard in your command range, plus bonuses from herdstone if you take it. However, any double is a miscast/outclassed in the art This has major potential. Chaotic, but powerful. Kind reg...

I'm a bit in doubt about the changed list. And then mainly about the lances on the Prince and Noble. They don't hit very hard in combat unless they get the charge off, and their monsters aren't strong enough to carry a fight by themselves, unlike with dragons. And with this list they're more likely...

This is probably the most insane list I've put together for He. In honour of assembling the Merwyrm, I decided to bring a monster list to my next game. Looks like a fun list! I think there's a couple things you could work to optimize a little tighter, but it should operate fine as is in casual envi...

Updates, this is summarized from old World Fanatics stream discussions: During yesterday's Old World Fanatics stream, a viewer was sharing rumours that I hadn't heard before. No idea if they are reliable, but the viewer did talk about having a source and did say that they'd be proved right on some o...

If there are 2x Falcon Horns in the game, get ready to seriously rethink your flying options! Chalice of the Dark Rain seems like it could be pretty harmful, depending on how long it lasts and if it can be reused.

Kind regards,

From the same source that provided the specific details for HE/Empire/OnG, and also predicted Wood Elves and Beastmen as next: -Banner of the Warped Moon: make a Ld check, if successful enemy fliers cannot fly until the beginning of your next start of turn phase. Does that sound similar to a doot? 😜...

The game went very well: I lost 1 mage and the silverhelms, but wiped out the enemy force and all remaining units over 50% starting strength. Won't do a full BR but some highlights and thoughts:... Changes I actually think I am going to drop a wizard. With totally maxed out characters, I felt the l...

I also want to propose, that this is the kind of list where I think the Merwyrm might actually be relevant. Having a tough blocker that can hold a flank while your Cav engage where they want to might be worth considering. In smaller games, where opponents have fewer tools to deal with it, it can al...

I like the newer list better. I also want to propose, that this is the kind of list where I think the Merwyrm might actually be relevant.

A level 3 would be too much points if as per the Secure the Watch tower scenario. Where is this scenario written down?
