Re: Elendor's Host of the White Tower

Long time no see! Welcome back Elendor. :) Runes are the top of my freehand ability, so I opened my 6th HE book and picked two that fit the unit: Saroir (eternity, infinity) and Cadaith (grace, power, music of the stars I'm with you on this, good job.

Re: Split Profiles and Always Strikes First

Re: Split Profiles and Always Strikes First

As per the paragraph SPECIAL RULES on page 100 of the Warhammer rulebook, even if a character and a unit he has joined both have a special rule, and even if they have received the special rule from the same source, this is considered two separate instances of the same rule and specifically negating...

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

Bravo MoN, I love armies of big guys! Somewhere on the site there's a beautiful army of Wolfen. This looks fascinating and good to see the Monsters which often get omitted from harshly competitve lists. Is the unit of four on the right Maneaters? I especially like the Rhinox.

Re: Split Profiles and Always Strikes First

strictly Tzeentch Interesting. Horrors-only is probably the strongest way to go with Core, even just adding a couple of Heralds on Metal yields an excellent magic phase. Flamers can be very useful shooters, especially against elves. The issue is lack of combat punch. The Lord of Change can help wit...

Re: Split Profiles and Always Strikes First

Since it is obviously a rare occurence for a target to have both a ward save and a superior Regeneration save, and suffer wounds from both Flaming Attacks and non-flaming attackings on the same initiative Interestingly, it's highly relevant to my games! I'm playing Daemons,a very powerful and hence...

Re: Split Profiles and Always Strikes First

This is similar to interpreting spells being "cast successfully" as only rolling equal to or higher than their casting value, regardless of whether they are dispelled or not. No action or effect is successful until it has been resolved in its entirety, including any saves our counters, or...

Re: Split Profiles and Always Strikes First

I suggest you too take a good look at the basic rules of combat and wounding in the Shooting and Close Combat chapters. I did Minion X and i now tend to agree with you! My read suggests that a model (and hence the unit for Regen purposes) is 'wounded' once the roll gets past toughness. Thus Regen i...

Re: Crossing Swords

List Implications I was happy with the new unit, the Plague Toads. The Hover rule means they are flyers that can't march but for my purposes, being able to lurk at a long charge distance is the key thing. Yes their charge was held and after a while they died but killing the High Elf BSB was impress...

Re: The Cavalry Prince - List Design, Tactics, Battle Reports

Meanwhile, I feel like the eagle is almost neither one thing nor the other. It’s more expensive than a horse and as vulnerable to getting shot as the griffon, The griffon is a Monster and hence with the rider the model has six wounds overall. An eagle rider is Monstrous Cavalry, so only has three. ...

Re: A new painting blog - Airbrush challenge

Good idea but I have to drop the Razor Standard for that. I feel Razor is more important than Swooping Strike or the Ring (you do generate six spells). Hard to count on getting Wildform off when you need it against good armour. So in both cases I can hope to roll a good spell, or a double, ending w...

Re: A new painting blog - Airbrush challenge

How about this? It's the Griffon Brothers! That is wild. Compared to Seredain's list you're scaling back the main block and ceding an RBT but that third, powerful, monster must allow you to be more aggressive. It's a bit risky but I'd be tempted to put a 4+ Ward on one Mage and put him in the PG wi...

I feel a second Lvl 2 on the same Lore with Dispel Scroll and a magic ring would be respectable. Adding a third Mage could make it quite tasty.

I believed the misfire table worked like the Ogre Ironblaster one but couldn't find it in the book. So we 4+'d it and only the gun was destroyed not the entire model. I later checked the Dae...
