Re: The Cavalry Prince - List Design, Tactics, Battle Reports
The Griffon of the World Dragon - some thoughts Hi Seredain, Thanks for the update. Can I ask, how does your BSB on his griffon, with the BotWD, operate in your army? I don't think he can join units, so is he there as a magic and shooting magnet? Also do you find that you have to be careful with yo...

Re: The Cavalry Prince - List Design, Tactics, Battle Reports
Glad to hear you're still around @'Seredain'! Will be looking forward to any future posts. Curious to hear your thoughts on The Old World as well if you have any -- looks like announcements are a few hours away (hopefully live by the time you're reading this). Also -- no Cavalry Prince? Like the re...

Re: Crossing Swords
Thanks for the write-up SA! A super interesting game. My main takeaways: 1) The Beasts are the greatest of roadblocks. I knew I couldn't avoid them with my cavalry so just decided to accept my fate and get stuck in sooner rather than later. In part because... 2) Fiery Convocation neutered the plague...

Re: The Cavalry Prince - List Design, Tactics, Battle Reports
I don’t think the big bus works for me as a solution. It's really not your thing, is it? Do you have an example Empire list in mind? Perhaps not exactly as I'd have done it but I found one on this thread by Curu Olannon: https://ulthuan.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=64932&start=30 Total Ro...

Re: The Cavalry Prince - List Design, Tactics, Battle Reports
Let us know if you ever do get that Chaos Dwarves battle played :) As for Ogre's; they're an army I would love to love. They have some lovely models and characterful choices. They're also reasonably easy to get an army ready to fight since you have a low model count. But their choices are just a bi...

Re: The Cavalry Prince - List Design, Tactics, Battle Reports
SA, I think there are two tricks to using repeaters against ogres. 1) Use obstacles if you can find them. It’s easy mode but in a proper randomised table they have a good chance of showing up to bounce a cannonball for free. 2) Don’t be drawn into a shootout with your repeaters vs his ironblasters. ...

Re: The Cavalry Prince - List Design, Tactics, Battle Reports
Chaos Dwarfs! Amazing. Seredain’s oldest and greatest enemy was a corrupted dwarf sorcerer lord named Zochaz (prn. Zot-chaz) who turned to magic and darkness during the War of the Beard, and slew Seredain’s father Urithan. As I recall, the legend was born when my friend Matthew and I were playing be...

SA, Thanks for the comments. Agreed on all points!

They paid off for me and let me steamroll into taking a big win with two whole turns still to go. What cou...

Hi Jasker, Great list! Amazing ranged power at these points, great manoeuvrability and great punch.

Infantry core lists at these points might find themselve...

Re: The Cavalry Prince - List Design, Tactics, Battle Reports
Congrats with the win. A shame you ran out of time. I feel that with a 4th turn in there and all your heavy hitters still at full health you should have been able to table most of his army. I was surprised you went for the left flank with the dragon and phoenix. It felt like a very risky move to me...
