I'm not really sold on the 12 LSG. At that unit size, you're not benefitting from their special rules. I think they'd be better as simple archers, or alternatively, the archers being LSG and combining into 1 big unit. For the SH, my theory is that they'd be better in a single unit. Yes, having 2 giv...

The flagship Brets, WoC (in an edition where shooting is badly nerfed) and Empire with multiple Demigryphs and Stank. I could have picked this lineup with my eyes closed. Even at 24 games for the most played faction, the sample size is too small to say anything definitive about faction strength. Pl...

I personally think that 2 units of reavers and the rest of core filled with SH is probably our strongest option. Reavers are fast and cheap enough to be useful redirectors, which means you can save those points from the Rare Eagles. And then SH hit harder and faster than the other core options. Perh...

If you back up your phone photos somewhere (like google cloud or apple cloud or whatever), then those services usually have an option where you can get a URL which lets you embed the image using the [IMG] tags. In Microsoft OneDrive (which is what I use), it's hidden in the more options '...' menu a...

Reading the comp, I don't actually think it's meant to balance the game or the different factions in any way. Note for instance that there are no army specific rules, which you really would want to have if you're aiming to balance things out. Instead, the comp pack intends to: provide an enjoyable e...

Nice report :) and great to see you drop in again :) Seems like you had a great first battle in TOW. I agree that plenty of things are sort of similar but also very different. I'm not yet sold on MSU in TOW. The mechanics feel like they make it harder to pull off, since you run the risk of simply no...

2 obvious ones that are missing are the A song of Ice and Fire series by G.R.R. Martin, and The Hobbit By Tolkien (and the Silmarillion, though there the dragons are more like background characters). Other, recent ones are A Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter, and The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne. ...

Nice! You could actually try getting all 3 in a single army list in TOW

Those are great! I like the old maiden guard models, and I use them as sisters as well. Though they don't completely fit the model rules. Still they're too amazing not to

That's an impressive looking army! Welcome back

Have you already gotten a few games in?

That would be a sight to behold for sure... it wouldn't even do that badly on average I think. The main issue is that some armies will beat it easily while others have no way of dealing with 3 dragons. So I doubt you'd get many close games... I personally would combine the SH units into 1 big unit a...

My main question about this list is, what will you do once your list gets into combat? Even if all that shooting is effective, you've now killed 30 chaos warriors. Then they hit your S3, T3, no save archers with the rest of their army. What now? Half your army is now useless. They can't shoot becaus...

There is a chaf unit i figured out, 5 spearmen in marching colmun, the dart, 15 inch move! What is the deal with chariout runners how do we use them? Also is there a trick with the horn of isha im missing, LD8 with no reroll for an excelent buff, that u wont get every 2nd or third game? Interesting...

Only true answer is that we don't know. We've had a 2 page discussion on it here: https://ulthuan.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=955086#p955086 Either you read "may wear armour without penalty" as granting you the option to wear armour and do so without penalty, or you read it as only allowing ...

I'm not really sold on the spearmen darts. Let us know how they perform when you give them a spin. They're cheap, but that's about all that can be said of them. Eagle and reavers are still faster. if you ever desired to get into a fight, they also hit harder. I do agree that you could (with that lis...

1. Shooting feels weak. My archers, lothern seaguard, and bolt thrower together killed maybe 2 or 3 models at range. My opponent did roll some insane lady's blessing saves, and I rolled two misses with the bolt thrower shooting single shots against his grail knights. I might feel differently if I h...

... I really get the feeling that the design team behind the old world and management/main studio harbour very different ambitions for this game. I'm mostly expecting rules around army composition, maybe 1-2 named characters, and around a dozen magic items. Maybe a new character mini but nothing mu...

A few thoughts on the list. I don't think the Skycutter is a great mobile bolt platform. Remember that the bolt thrower you can put on top doesn't penetrate ranks. So rather, it's a single shot that can hit 1 model and do D3 wounds. It's not terrible, however, it's by no means an amazing shooting pl...

It's a very unique look to the army. Looks wonderful and interesting. Can we get a group shot at some point? What else are you planning on painting?

Nice list. How did the 7 SM unit perform? I'm currently not yet sold on them.

I've increased the maximum number to 20. Let's see how it goes. We can always reduce it back down again if people go too wild...

Maybe its covered somewhere and i didnt see it, does vauls unmaking completly destroy the weapon/armor or does it leave it its mundane state? It's rendered completely useless and can't be used for the rest of the game. So it's gone (which is different from how it worked last edition). Just noticed ...

The drawback is that you want the dragon in combat, and mages can only cast assailment spells in combat and cant dispel. So the dragon wants to be in combat and the mage outside of it, so you are paying for 2 capabilities that cannot be used at the same time (mostly) Small addition. You can also ca...

Marching column doesn't mention complete ranks, but specifically states more models per file than per rank. The example given with the rule is inconclusive, since it has a complete rank. So it's hard to be certain. I am on the side that incomplete ranks count. For a unit with 4 ranks, of which the l...

Nice, monsters are always cool. Though selling one to buy 2 back is a great way to increase your "to be painted" pile...

Looking forward to the Wyvern. Is it the O&G one? I love that model. And why are you going for 2 fires and 1 frost?

Together, starting from the end of quoted rules sections: - if you would be a wizard, you could cast all the spells you know (including several magic missiles and vortexes and including one spell from bound spell item) - but you are not a wizard just because of the bound spell, so RAW you can't eve...

The second list is indeed illegal because of the double lord choice. For the first list, I'm not sure why you would take the extra units of sisters in rare. I don't mind sisters in core, since they're superior to what you would normally bring in archers or spearmen. But I see little value in then br...

They certainly look ready to charge

With those models, it's no wonder they got the impetuous rule...

Tolkien made those languages up. If you search google or Amazon, then there are a few books that dig into them and teach them.

I found this one: https://www.ecrater.com/p/44528253/high-elf-lothern-skycutter-f152?gps=1&gad_source=5&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgOvkmrC8hAMVDDfUAR1RmAgAEAQYASABEgKIrvD_BwE Price is reasonable, comparable to plastic kits of tanks, planes, dinosaurs and such and the recast of the Empire Steam Tank ...
