Ulthuan

As I understand it, finally a use for AM on Lunar Wyrm.

Since the ancients weren't quite addicted to producing tons of documentation like we are now, sometimes it's hard to phantom a reason as to a certain event or cause. But we can look at certain cultures where their armed forces dealt with this issue. Japan - Despite contact with China, they jumped st...

So, Why Are the High Elves Still Using Longbows? When It Either Should Have Been Upgraded to Asrai Warbows Or Replaced By Repeater Crossbows In the very distant past, Elves must have used rocks as missile weapons, and at some point, must have discovered what happens if they improved the range by sl...

1. What is this program? 2. Do you think you can kill off his tyrant in hand to hand? You seem to be occupying a very strong defensive position, and if he sends in his main unit, it looks like it can get mobbed from three sides, without any support from your opponent's other units. Though it's hard ...

Fantasy and SciFi Miniature Wargaming Big Headaches in Small Packages 1. Personally, my main interest is in Elves, but I suspect we've come to a watershed moment with the increase in prices of commodities and the change to whatever the hell GW is casting their stuff now. 2. GW can go their own way,...

Go for broke in close combat and roll the dice.

The Sixteen Hundred The Ideal Intermediate Size 1. It's not likely that I'm going to get a chance to try this out anytime soon, but I was wondering what the ideal size was for a game that was both challenging, varied, easily thematic and short. 2. Why sixteen hundred? It's a skip and a jump from fi...

I don't recall any canon explanation for it; however, if they'd ask me, I would have told GW it's because they're concerned with their equivalent of Global Warming, and minimizing their carbon footprint. The fact that all the Winds of Magic are just funnelled to Ulthuan makes this relatively simpler...

J-Pop unexpected; had to pause video to see if some other media player went off on it's own.

Close enough.

Leaving Home Impetus to Colonization 1. This thought came about while I was considering the net human population our planet would easily support, and we'd be comfortable with having as co-stakeholders. 2. Going by my rather extensive knowledge of D&D Magic Arcana, I'd say that Ulthuan could sup...

Depends on which version you're playing against. There's at least one fandex in the wild, where they revised it to BRB8 - if so, you should demand to see a copy from your opponent and be allowed to study it for one or two hours before the match. For the official one that's more or less BRB7 compatib...

How to Hurt GW Where It Can Feel It Without Breaking the Bank or the Habits of a Lifetime 1. Accept proxies; play games where miniatures from other factions or even other companies are permitted, their attributes declared, rather than WYGIWYS. 2. Rewriting the BRB or even ABs will tend to lead to d...

I'm so disappointed - I read the title as Kitty Prince.

1. Either a Hello Kitty makeover, or,

2. A Chracian Lord in a Hello Kitty get up and pink/white colour scheme.

Personally, I don't care, since I have two large official Warhammer cases full of High Elves, and a bunch of models from the other Elven factions. Warhammer Fantasy is a niche (40K, LotR, etcetera) in a niche (tabletop gaming, RPG, CCG) in a niche (PC/consoles, leisure activities) market. The busine...

Squire Varain may now refuse, To wipe his knightly Master's Shoes, For now he's free to fight and stray, O'er the Hills and far away. We all shall lead more happy lives, Ridding us of He who contrives, To plot and brawl both night and day, O'er the Hills and far away. Courage, boys, 'tis one to ten...

Those 72 virgins? They're some of the suicide bombers he's dispatched.

If it wasn't for the fact it's become a social obligation like poker night, I wouldn't bother playing. I think we held our own in BRB7, but the new ambiance is uninspiring. If we get back our Honours, having only eight Artifacts doesn't matter. What is relevant is that we have something unique to eq...

I wouldn't mistake superficial elegance with lack of ruthlessness in the use of permitted assets.

1. Personally, I thought he has living in a high-rise in Peshawar; how wrong I was. 2. Shoot to kill and burial at sea are really brilliant ideas; putting his head on a stake would seem mean spirited, and the utter disdain they have for him is disguised by tossing him overboard; plus you can't build...

Make the House of Lords Proportionally Representative. Each recognized political party submits a list of candidates in order of preference, to be vetted by an impartial committee for suitability and national security conflicts of interest. For every 0.2% of the total vote cast by all the electorate,...

Economies of Scale Hurting the Dark Elves by the Oblique Approach Ulthuan by and large is a self-sustaining economy, only strategic considerations make them develop and maintain a global network of shipping lanes and trade routes, outside the fact that after a thousand years staring at the same con...

Imagine a Chracian as a Police Academy instructor Sergeant. Now imagine the scene in Police Academy with the horse.

Chokepoints. Think 300.

If if were your opponent, I'd try a massive barrage of missiles; you may like fighting in the shade, but statistically, something should get through.

I'm sitting on a 100 foot lizard with explosive breath, who incidentally can fly, carrying a fifteen foot pig-sticker. While I might tolerate disrespect, my large friend may not. And he looks hungry.

And you sigh, "not another one of these pointless threads"... well to me, and ive been in this hobby since 94, highelves are not the good guys. Yet, they come about as close as you can get. They are hierarchical. Class is important for your position in society. Most functioning technologi...

It comes down to this simple question based on a compulsory requirement - what do you envisage the role of your Core to be? That 25% has to be filled, which could be distilled to the choice between donkeys, mules and horses. Overpriced ones. If you decided to spend the majority of those points on ar...

1. Dragon Lair Guards.

2. Caledorian Assault Pioneers

They're unlikely to have a corvus, as even the Romans abandoned them as creating too much instability, especially during rough weather; High Elves strike me more as adopting the Trireme, at least for ships of the line, though if the rowers are Elven, manpower concerns would tend to dominate any stra...
