Re: A Look at High Elf Rules in The Old World

Those are the only two qualifiers beyond paying points and the high elf mage fails both of them. They're able to wear armor, but they're not able to be equipped with any. No options and no equipment means no magical equivalents. Two questions: Can you give a magical shield or the armour of Caledor ...

You will actually hit plenty of R&F models on a 2+, as Asuryan intended... That's a change to the To Hit table this edition. If your WS is more than double your opponent's, you hit on 2+.

Sounds like a fun battle. I haven't seen many nobles on frostheart phoenixes around (or many phoenixes at all for that matter). How did he perform?

Only a model equipped with (or that has the option to be equipped with) armor, shields or barding may purchase a magical equivalent. BBB page 340.

Re: Do lumineth models rank up on 25mm?

I think they should fit on 25mm bases. Their default base is 32mm round. You can fit a 22mm square base inside a 32mm round one edge to edge, which means that at 25mm, they will fit comfortable. How well they'll rank up, I'm not sure. It will depend on what bits are sticking out. My gut feeling is t...

The whole Rule of Three is completely rediculous in my opinion. Yes, you'll run into that one player who wants to bring 18 (or whatever) Gyrocopters. They are not the issue.

Reforming costs the entire movement, you will count as moved and lose a bunch of shots (half if you go 10 wide, 3/4 for 5 wide) in that turn, sadly no Volley Fire if you moved / reformed Not sure what you mean here.

I'm curious why you took the War Banner over the Battle Banner. A potential 1 or 2 extra static CR, for 35 pts more sounds like a good deal, especially if you're relying on breaking stuff. Yes, it's points which need to be found somewhere (maybe the stubborn on the sisters...), but it adds that extr...
