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

WL 60x1: Hitting on 4+ 60->30 Wounding on 4+ (S6 vs. T6) 30->15 Piercing Armour on 5+ (2+ & AP -3) 15->10 Regen 5+ 10->6.67 Ward 5+ 6.67->4.5 This really makes me question WL's role in the army. If they need 120 attacks to chew through a tough monster, then they're not much use against monsters...

Re: 2k Competitive Dragon List

Some of the item choices confuse me. You got a nonfunctional shield on the prince, and a nonfunctional dragon helm on the noble I'm not sure I understand. The shield on the Prince takes his save from a 4+ (from the Dragon) to a 3+ (even in combat due to Dragon Slaying Sword being one-handed, unlike...

Re: 2k Competitive Dragon List

I've been trialling LSG recently and i've found them to be quite impressive. They can shoot all day long and even let loose a volley before reforming for combat. With their 24", you'll often find the sitting in the middle of the board, which is perfect for my mage to sit and blast away with ma...

Re: Square Based: High Elves

It's a nice overview of what's in the army, but it didn't offer a lot of insights into the actual army. For me, it didn't go much beyond "impetuous bad", and "model has 1 attack, so weak in combat". I agree that it's interesting that he rates SM as the worst special infantry unit...

Re: 2k Competitive Dragon List

I'm not sure the LSG fit into the list or are worth it. Most of the list is fast or long ranged. The LSG are neither. They're nice and thematic, but I don't think they add much to the list. I would replace them either with archers, or with SH (or both). As they stand now, they'll be on their own, si...

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

I actually think any I4 and up army can deal with the SM line. As Giladis mentioned, anything that flanks them with a whole bunch of attacks can deal them a lot of pain. However, the main weakness is that it's a 60'' wide unit. Yes, one on one 60 SM attacks can deal with anything in the game. Howeve...

Re: Fitzlock's High Elves - The Glittering Host of Avelorn

The incentives are very different between 8th and TOW for going wide. Horde was a gimmick, and it gave a relatively small extra number of attacks for a lot of points invested. With step-up and fighting in 2 ranks, the third rank didn't add all that much, relatively speaking. If you were up against 5...

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

When you randomly generate a spell, you can discard one spell. Normally wizards can only generate spells once, but our mage can generate spells once per turn. So can he each time he generates a spell substitute to the signature and/or Saphery, even if we already have a signature? RAW looks to clear...

But you can still cast an assailment in both yours and their combat phases in the same game turn (not individual turn) right? So effectively cast twice per game turn? Yes.

Re: Detachment Talk: Spears + Archers

Archers don't reroll 1s, since they don't have Ithilmar weapons. 10 archers vs 5 SH with shields (which don't differ all that much in points). With your S&S, you do 0.8-ish wounds. Let's say you get lucky and kill 1. 4 SH attacks, 2 hits, 2 wounds (1.7, but we're rounding up). 4 horses, 2 hits, ...

I think this assumes that your opponent does exactly what you want him to do. Yes, in an ideal situation, you get 20 shots in a stand & shoot, or an extra charge from a bunch of archers. But it's also 25''+ wide, which is 1/3 of your whole deployment zone. Where you have to be careful not to pla...

Re: 2k initial list

It looks like a fun list. One thing I'm wondering is why you're running both the SH and the Tiranoc chariots as separate, smaller units. If you combine them into larger units, they pack a bigger punch (at the expense of flexibility of course).
